Looks like the same attack that took down the British Library for so long also targeted the Library of Congress, but good multifactor auth and fast action from their IT and security staff protected them. https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2024/05/thwarted-cyberattack-targeted-library-congress-tandem-october-british-library-breach/396399/

Is it time to panic?
No, it is not time to panic.
But when the CDC asks
for personal protective equipment
to be made “available to workers
on dairy farms, poultry farms,
and in slaughterhouses”
it is probably time for you
not to panic, but
to order more respirators.

“It’s comically difficult” to turn off your new car’s data collection, EFF’s @Thorin told Sherwood News. “I do this for a living and I am not 100% positive I have gotten everything correct, which is ridiculous.” https://sherwood.news/tech/how-to-opt-out-of-the-privacy-nightmare-that-comes-factory-installed-in-new/

What is OUR meaning when we say "our?"

Who do WE mean when we say "we?"

"We" sure don’t mean everyone.

My overwhelming thought as Trump won was: “A lot of people will suffer and die because of this, and the people who voted for this know it, and knowing it makes them feel happy and safe.”

I was right about that one. Even a fool could see it.

And that left the question: so now what?

Israeli assault on Rafah may cause ‘bloodbath’ and famine, aid agencies say
With routes for aid into Gaza closed, relief workers say helping displaced people could become impossible

Good for him. This quote from the Republican former GA lieutenant governor sums up my own position as well, except I abandoned the GOP in 2016 when Trump got the nomination, without needing to wait for multiple indictments.

"Unlike Trump, I've belonged to the GOP my entire life. This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass."

Really fucking annoying that the far right explains what’s happening in Israel as Jews controlling Biden and the far left explains it as Biden being controlled by Jews. It’s all just antisemitism.

And neither side will acknowledge reality: Bibi is an insane war criminal. Israel is not an American colony, it’s a nation that Biden has no control of. It’s completely arrogant and wrong to think either man can control what the other does, or that the Jewish people have any say over any of it.

Look, someone clicked 'inspect element' on the street!
