Automattic, the company behind web content management system WordPress, told HKFP on October 7 2024 that it had received a take-down demand from Hong Kong authorities relating to the website of Flow HK. The company said it had not complied with the order and had notified the site owner.

Maybe their lunatic ceo will travel there and get arrested and end his bs battle against WP Engine. Sorry, the nerd in me latched onto this bit.

It’s really cool how countries (including China, plus my own, USA) meddle with people outside their borders. /s

Holy shit, I had to stop reading part way through the pedo section cause it just kept going and going. Roblox is fucked up.

Of course he’s profiting off them. There’s nothing he does that isn’t in his interest and seeking money.

Schneier is one of the two security experts I have in my RSS feeds, the other being Brian Krebs. Bruce Schneier is a smart guy.

“He didn’t want – here’s the galling part, he didn’t want that stain on his administration, where something like this happened on his administration, on his watch, that our soldiers were injured in conflict,” Steele added. “Now he wants to whitewash it and say, ‘Oh, injured? What does injury mean? What does being injured mean?’ Well, it means you get a Purple Heart for the services that you provided our country to protect and defend us on foreign soil, to represent our interest, to protect our interest. But that is a foreign concept to this man, and the country needs to wake itself up out of this stupor because this does not get better with him there. He will not solve these problems, he is the progenitor of these problems. He will be the focal point of the expansion of these problems, because they’re unimportant to him.”

Dude went on for quite a bit.

Thanks for sharing this. I wouldn’t have known otherwise. It’s much like Cheney. Just because someone hates Trump doesn’t mean they’re not a monster.

Well, this is fine -GOP

In 1932, Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about the Soviet Union, eleven of which were published in June 1931. He was later criticized for his subsequent denial of the widespread famine (1930–1933) in the USSR,[1] most particularly the Holodomor. Beginning in 1990, there were calls for the Pulitzer board to revoke Duranty’s prize. The Pulitzer Board declined to revoke the award and in 2003 said the articles which it examined in making the award did not contain “clear and convincing evidence of deliberate deception”.[2]

Those articles about widespread rape on Oct 7 still haven’t been retracted despite no evidence of such.

I hope she goes away after this.

And the stock went up…

Shenanigans are assured.

Asshole.

Wrong. Dems are not Repubs.

If you’ll revisit my comment, you’ll see that I said:

I’ve been calling contemporary dems Reagan-era repubs for some time now.

Modern repubs are lunatic far-right nuts. Modern dems have the policies of Reagan-era repubs.

Women and girls over 12 are banned from schools, and prevented from sitting most university entrance exams. There are also restrictions in the work they can do, with beauty salons being closed, as well as being not being able to go to parks, gyms and sport clubs.

Men have to be pretty insecure to treat women this way. Cowards.

Conservatives are so reasonable. /s

But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.

He still thinks tariffs are paid by other countries as opposed to American citizens. Completely unfit to govern.

Oh Kenney, you rascal. It’s so cool how your corrupt, lying, sack of shit ass gets to meddle in elections like this. It’s great. Keep it up, buddy. You’re the greatest.

Fucking piece of shit.

The consequences of this journalistic malpractice extend far beyond misleading headlines. By laundering Trump’s words in this fashion, the media is actively participating in the erosion of our shared reality. When major news outlets consistently present a polished version of Trump’s statements, they create an alternate narrative that exists alongside the unfiltered truth available on social media and in unedited footage.

The only answer must be that their bosses want him to win. No reasonable editor would allow this.

[…]

The consequences of this extend beyond misleading headlines or sanitized quotes. It’s creating a dangerous disconnect between reality and reported news, fostering an environment where extreme rhetoric becomes normalized and conspiracy theories gain unwarranted legitimacy.

This won’t remain just a Trump problem. As other politicians observe the media’s willingness to soften and reframe inflammatory statements, we risk further degradation of political discourse. The bar for what’s considered acceptable rhetoric continues to lower, while the public’s ability to discern fact from fiction erodes.

Let’s let all the crazy inside. It’ll be fun. At least we’ll have endless stuff to report about.

Then your free press either reports what they tell you or you go to jail.
