Automated Sextortion Spyware Takes Webcam Pics of Victims Watching Porn A new specimen of β€œinfostealer” malware offers a disturbing feature: It monitors a target's browser for NSFW content, then takes simultaneous screenshots and webcam photos of the victim.

For years this was the premise of a common scam email. Now it’s real. from @agreenberg.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/steale...

Lol at these Lincoln Project dipshits trying to raise a million dollars for "liberty vans" that will follow ice raids around. Fucking scammer grifting garbage.

Knowing how *I* feel about the new Superman movie, I legit can't wait to hear @whwoolhat.bsky.social and Devin talk about the film on their Watchmen podcast.

What voters think nativism will mean: stop giving benefits to others, so you can focus resources on citizens

What it actually means in practice: stop giving citizens benefits, so you can focus resources on punishing others

We are, and this is very literal, in a war for the human spirit. That is the framing of how the other side already sees it. And this is their vision.

These people are very clearly sociopaths.

This isn’t just about immigration. It’s about who Trump/Stephen Miller thinks "belongs" in America.

Couple this with Trump’s remarks in the same press conference about denaturalizing Mamdani over political views and creating a system of detention centers.

Trump is envisioning concentration camps across the country holding Americans stripped of citizenship as β€œforeigners” subject to disappearance.

anil isn't kidding. this level of transparency and detail β€”Β talking to voters like adults β€”Β is remarkable. i would imagine it also helps people feel like they are part of something bigger. and, christ, mamdani is insanely charismatic and good on screen. like, you just want to watch him talk!

Something's up in Nashville. We got 4 ridiculously rad bands coming up for #MidWestFriendsFest, and frankly, it might be TOO much good music for folks.

Y'all.

If you're not hip to @manorgatesmusic.bsky.social yet, you really need to remedy that oversight post haste.

We're so stoked to welcome them back to this year's #MidWestFriendsFest. Tbh we're kinda giddy about it.

We've been fans of Tooth Lures A Fang since the band first started and are so stoked to welcome them back to #MidWestFriendsFest this year. "Lightly-hinged power pop" doesn't really do the band's eclectic sounds and stellar live show justice.

Come check them out on May 31. Please?

Y'all ready to get a little rowdy with Columbus, Ohio's Year Twins? Because we're pretty sure that's what's on the agenda when they hit that stage at #MidWestFriendsFest at Southgate House Revival next month.

Get your tickets, then let's get weird.

Leisure Hour is hitting the road with @cinemastare.bsky.social around #MidWestFriendsFest and we think that's the coolest thing ever. We can't wait to lose our voice singing along to tracks from their debut LP, The Sunny Side, and hope you're ready to do the same!

Get them tickets ASAP, y'all!
