I once observed Rufo not just telling lies, but citing evidence that showed he was the one not telling the truth -- and most of his audience paid no attention to the details and assumed he had proved his claim.

He's right, though, because these "escaped containment" stories are stories of negligently bad security. Inadequate monitoring, poor segmentation, failure to implement proper controls. Security shouldn't be "notional restrictions."

NEW: An investigation by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell found 52 of 60 potential noncitizens flagged by a error-prone federal system known as SAVE are actually citizens. Last week, SCOTUS said President Donald Trump's administration can use the tool. Read: www.votebeat.org/arizona/2026...

52 out of 60 voters flagged as noncitizens in key Arizona county turn out to be citizens

Maricopa County’s GOP recorder said he had found 60 noncitizens who had cast a ballot. Upon closer investigation, though, the real number is only eight.

This one printed messages from the game program in mixed case but everything from the data file was all lowercase (vs the historical all uppercase). My printout had notes I wrote about an idea to support mixed case which is fully implemented here.

One notable feature--"." to print the current version--was a feature of Multics send_mail, read_mail, and programs written with ssu_, the subsystem utility--all written by Gary Palter (rdm, sdm, ssu_).

The multiplayer stuff is off by default and hasn't been put to the test again, but historically there were multiple high school kids in a room of printing terminals trying it out on Multics.

That's cool. I don't think he found the one I wrote, either, Explore, which is from 1978-80, and might be a first for multiplayer features though it's not a great game for play; but I was 14 and just figuring this computer thing out.

Whoops, looks like I messed up his project, this one is from a few years before his current position.

Runs again on Multics, also works on Linux, will finish up an OpenBSD package in a day or two.

GitHub - lippard661/adv462: 1980 462-point version of Adventure on Palter game engine with early Platt content

This turned out to be an obscure intermediate in the Adventure family tree not previously identified: it's Gary Palter's fortran engine for Multics, with a data file that is an early, pre-ACODE version of Dave Platt's additions, in incomplete form. 462 points possible. github.com/lippard661/a...

When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships. 1/5

This adventure family tree is missing an intermediate between Crowther and Platt 550 that I have in my possession on printouts. It's a Multics fortran version that has a few Platt elements and seems to be the Woods engine. www.ifwiki.org/Adventure_Fa...

I.e., sha256 on a raw dense9 Multics binary archive or component gives the same result as sha256 --dense9 inside Multics.

This format preserves SHA256 hash results inside and outside of Multics.
