Together with @mrjimmyblack.com (and Claude) we developed a tool that helps detecting hallucinated references in academic papers! This evolved from a simple python script into a full system written in Rust to quickly go through thousands of citations. Check it out!

Anonymous has also been mercilessly targeted for infiltration, with some of the biggest names of Anonymous (Gregg Housh, Kirtaner, BB, Sabu, etc.) having a documented history as federal cooperators.

Some info at the link, lots more out there that I didn't get to talk about at @hope.net last year.

Do not lose track, ever, of the root cause: the US cried wolf on Iraq, credibility was shot.

The current situation offers fascinating parallels…

The best thing about Canaries & Canarytokens, is when they surprise you:

"printed some and put them round the office"

"but then they were put into the bin, and at 21:43 someone scanned them… looks like this place has dumpster divers"

"never thought that was still a thing"

/me screaming in the void

A photograph of an official notice posted in San Francisco following the passage of Executive Order 9066. A partial excerpt: "Western Defense Command and Fourth Army Wartime Civil Control Administration Presidio of San Francisco, California May 23, 1942 Instructions to All Persons of JAPANESE Ancestry Living in the Following Areas ... Pursuant to the provisions of Civilian Exclusion Order No. 96, this Headquarters, date May 23, 1942, all persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien, will be evacuated from the above area by 12 o'clock noon, P.W.T, Saturday May 30, 1942. No Japanese person will be permitted to move into, or out of, the above area after 12 o'clock noon, P.W.T., Saturday May 23, 1942, without obtaining special permission from the representative of the Commanding General, Northern California Sector, at the Civil Control Station located at ... The Following Instructions Must Be Observed ...."

A black and white archival photograph showing Japanese Americans lined up next to a train car while opposite a long row of military police standing shoulder to shoulder stand guard.

An iconic black and white photograph by Dorothea Lange taken on March 30, 1942, showing a street-level view of the Wanto Co. grocery store located at 8th and Franklin Street in Oakland, California. On December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the owner, Tatsuro Masuda, hired a painter to make and install a large sign over the front windows reading "I AM AN AMERICAN." At top, above the name of the store, another large sign reads, "SOLD by White and Pollard." (The Masudas always rented the property, so that sign is probably not referencing their store.) Parked in front of the store is light-colored Buick coupe.

A rare Kodachrome color photograph showing a young Japanese American boy, Billy Manbo, standing on a barbed wire fence surrounding the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming. To his right and stretching far into the distance behind him are a long row of wood and tar paper barracks.

Today in 1942 was another date which should live in infamy—President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, leading to the forced eviction, property forfeiture, and internment of some 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast, about 70,000 of whom were US citizens.

How do you say “thrown under the bus” in the Queen’s English?

There you go.

I wish they just said the truth: "Nobody wants to test but the orange one. He wants to test because he has a small willy and, therefore, thinks that a big b00m will make up for it."

great minds, etc. we just have to remember not to let the idiot into our gang.

Actually… he's a prime suiciding candidate.

It is always the same: the idiot in your gang is the one which makes the whole organisation fall. Furthermore, it is always some ancillary charge which then opens the flood gates.

That this is not obvious to everyone is where we have ultimately failed…

Hi. Former NSA hacker here:
This portal will be used by US intelligence and law enforcement for intelligence collection and to deliver 0-days to targets of interest. You can take that to the bank. I'd bet my mortal soul on it.

YouTube video by Health At Work SETIF Quand le Hoggar devint théâtre d’un essai nucléaire10 – Mémoire atomique à In Ecker.

The French nuclear test on May 1, 1962. It is known as the Béryl incident - apparently, there was serious release of radioactivity. But the film does not mention it at all. Maybe that was why it was made www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHMr... The explosion is at 11:45.

I worked with those… oh my, so wonderful to see them again :)

Place them inside a computer that you are decommissioning, then bury it somewhere as the ultimate joke for future archeologists.

historically, the problem of perception has always been known…

It was a fever dream and you have my unwavering support.

there are so many wonderful grapefruit uses, the pleasure of eating it as a child in school during the Winter months, little spoon, sugar on top, during the break will never be forgotten.

it is not a huge loss, I regretted mine for a long time, then realised I had a wonderful day while the others waited for hours in a smelly (still students…) hall.
I was at the seaside, watching the stormy sea, swimming against the waves and feeling, admiring, and respecting the full force of nature

never say never, they might figure out some meds without interaction… a variant of the Campari orange with pink grapefruit is what I miss most.

yes, I had 30 happy years…
