Another catastrophe from Councilperson Cindy Bass.
"Under the terms of a reservation letter, real estate developer KBK Enterprises has until the end of the month to demonstrate it has the necessary funding to restore the city-owned building on Germantown Avenue. If it can’t, and the letter expires, the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority will “reevaluate the next steps for the property,” said spokesperson Jamila Davis.
That could include rescinding its selection of KBK."
"City Councilmember Cindy Bass, whose district includes the YWCA, continues to support the developer, a political backer of hers."
"Last week, state Sens. Dan Laughlin, R-Erie, and Lisa Boscola, D-Northampton, formally introduced legislation that would allow unaffiliated voters to participate in the taxpayer-funded elections. The measure is now before the Senate’s State Government Committee."

She's a burn victim you monsters! Just read the snippet below please...
"Just a few weeks ago, another one of Meisenbach's videos was taken down. A TikTok notification reviewed by Refinery29 listed the post’s "violation reasons." It said she'd posted "violent and graphic content." It went on to say: "We do not allow content that is excessively gruesome or shocking, especially that promotes or glorifies abject violence or suffering.""
"Ultimately, the people who insist we should focus on mental health every time someone shoots up a school don’t have any ideas about how to address that problem. And they reject most any solution offered by mental and emotional health experts because they don’t trust what they perceive as the political agendas of those in the field."
"A shocking number of organizations -- including banks and healthcare providers

Google has just updated its 2FA Authenticator app and added a much-needed feature: the ability to sync secrets across devices.
TL;DR: Don't turn it on.
The new update allows users to sign in with their Google Account and sync 2FA secrets across their iOS and Android devices.
We analyzed the network traffic when the app syncs the secrets, and it turns out the traffic is not end-to-end encrypted. As shown in the screenshots, this means that Google can see the secrets, likely even while they’re stored on their servers. There is no option to add a passphrase to protect the secrets, to make them accessible only by the user.
Why is this bad?
Every 2FA QR code contains a secret, or a seed, that’s used to generate the one-time codes. If someone else knows the secret, they can generate the same one-time codes and defeat 2FA protections. So, if there’s ever a data breach or if someone obtains access ....
