Mark it.

Peter Thiel's invitation-only society, two decades of careful silence, undone because someone left a directory sitting in the source code of a webpage. The men who want to surveil all of us couldn't be bothered to surveil their own website.
113 names spilled into the open. A Treasury secretary. A senator. A NATO commander. https://twp.ai/4hrjus

Bi ciùin. Bi treun. Bi beò.
Be still. Be brave. Be alive.
