Wargames is now free on YouTube for a few days. It is hands down one of the most realistic hacking/phreaking movies of the time (other than Sneakers) and has an excellent message of not trusting AI too much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=utkr...

It's a classic, and a must-see. The scene where David used a can tab to bypass a public payphone is realistic, and was a method used by many in the 80s (Phreaking). Also the various tones he used to open e keypad locked door in NORAd with a walkman would be possible, albeit quite complicated.

Gute Idee eigentlich. Ich denke, wir probieren da mal was. #phoenix

Is “mocked Jewish faith” what the NYTimes uses instead of “antisemitic” when it’s a right-wing figure, instead of a left-wing one

Dieser ganze angebliche Kampf gegen angeblichen Antisemitismus von links war eine Scharade. Trump hat sie verdankenswerterweise dauerhaft entlarvt.

Dass die Tate-Brüder, aus dem Gefängnis geholt von Trump, zusammen Neonazi und Trump-Freund Fuentes zum Hitler-Song von Trump-Freund Kanye Party machen, war ebenfalls null Thema - beim selben Feuilleton, das aus jeder Kufiya an der Uni einen Leitartikel gemacht hatte. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Bei der SRG-Initiative geht es um mehr als Medienabgaben: Es geht darum, ob die Schweiz der SVP folgt in Richtung postfaktische Gesellschaft, wo Oligarchen, Milliardäre und Populisten die Information kontrollieren. Es brauch jetzt Engagement für ein klaren Nein am 8. März! www.srf.ch/news/schweiz...

The boss

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Forty years ago today (Jan 28 2026), the crew of Space Shuttle Challenger 51L slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God. Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnik, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe.

We have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.

The defund ICE law should be named the “Pretti-Good Act.”

"Fico seemed to be 'traumatized' by his encounter with Trump, one of the European diplomats said. Fico characterized Trump as being 'out of his mind,' a diplomat said, using the words briefed to them by their leader, who was directly involved in the conversation."

What I do not understand: why are they dressed like a makeshift guerilla? Didn't they had time and the ressources to hand them proper uniforms? They all look as if the brought their own clothes and gear. Amateurs.

I am so proud of and grateful for everyone who rises to this moment we are in and pushes back where they can

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

The EU‘s fight over the ‚combustion engine ban‘ was a waste of the public‘s attention. Performative politics. By 2035, collectors with special licenses may still want one, if they can pay for the fuel and find some last gas station. History doesn‘t proceed in a linear fashion.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including “biological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

I didn't think it was possible but seeing staunch 2A defenders turn anti-gun rights proponents is wild to witness. Toupee Fiasco has no code of ethics, no moral compass, no ideology, aport from whatever benefits him in the moment. This man hailed Rittenhouse as a hero.

"Als Bürgermeister von Mailand will ich nicht, dass diese US-Polizeieinheit nach Italien kommt. Es handelt sich um eine Truppe, die illegal agiert und die Menschen tötet; das ist völlig unvereinbar mit unserer Art, für Sicherheit zu sorgen.“

The party behind Kyle Rittenhouse and J6 think Alex Pretti's legal gun was the problem? Seriously?!?

Freedom is when I don’t have to pay taxes and people who exercise their constitutional rights are beaten, shoved into camps, and shot in the back or the face by masked agents of the state

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

Offenbar kämpfen in Europa & in den USA etliche Nachrichtenanstalten mit der in diesem Fall korrekten Berichterstattung 👇 bsky.app/profile/astr...

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

So the 2nd Amendment seems to be depending on the context as well as the 1st Amendment. As of 2026 the US constitution is what it is: a meaningless piece of paper. No longer an idea of values. Good luck with the future, America.

Swedish public radio has received confirmation from the Swedish military that the 'exercise' in Greenland was indeed an operation intended to deter the USA. Danish soldiers are issued with live ammunition and since last week a 'meaningful' number have been deployed. www.svt.se/nyheter/utri...

White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest

President Alexander Stubb said Russia’s war in Ukraine is a failure, comparing it to the US achieving in 12 hours in Venezuela what Moscow couldn’t in years of war. He said 34,000 Russians died in December and mocked false claims of capturing Kupiansk. #Ukraine

That today‘s jackbooted thugs look more like Rammstein than historical authoritarians should get both Till Lindemann and history teachers thinking

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

And we're back. The moment the danger passes, people rush to pretend everything is alright again. It isn't and will not be.

Davos should be a watershed moment: it is obvious that Trump is mentally unable to be the President of the US. The path forward is either to remove him (which will not solve the underlying problems of this dysfunctional democracy) or let the US (and the world) slip into a dark age of destruction.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Das ist eine historische Rede. Mark Carney bricht eine Lanze für eine neue Weltordnung. Eine ehrlich pluralistische bei der Allianzen unter gleichwertigen Partner mit gleichen Idealen geformt werden. Das ist eine sehr schlaue und sehr hoffnungsvolle Rede. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Here’s the really bad part: over time, this dynamic breeds bigger and bigger crises. Markets keep updating their beliefs about TACO, so it takes ever more extreme actions to convince them he might not TACO. Buckle up.

the schmaltzy piano music in the background is what really puts this clip over the top

Classic TACO. Mann muss dem senilen Päppu nur mal zeigen wo der Ausgang ist, und dann kuscht er.

I am sure the deal is that the US pays a certain amount of money to Greenland, and they will get the lifelong right to build as many military bases as they want, including having as many US boots on the ground as they want, and the right to hoist US flags.
