Indeed, data poisoning is a great way to hide your data trail, confuse those looking for traces, and make space for those who need to be less visible.

So someone made this post on Mastodon:
https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116268399785747534

And that led another person to make this site: https://boat.horse/clock/index.html

This feels like some real old school internet stuff. For the younger folks out there, this is the kind of stuff that would pop up all the time on the internet in the late 90s and early 00s. No reason for it beyond it being cool and beautiful.

While the animated clock in the link sort of hurts my head, it still is beautiful.

"He was doing fine, until he started talking about art history and then the whole conversation got teleported to a wafflehouse"

#CDC has been without a director for most of Trump 2.0. A new nominee was put forward today, Erika Schwartz, a former deputy surgeon general. (Nomination was scooped earlier this week by the Washington Post's Dan Diamond and Lena Sun.)
Let's see what happens. https://www.statnews.com/2026/04/16/erica-schwartz-cdc-director-nominee/

Trump taps former public health leader Erica Schwartz to run CDC

Schwartz's background as a physician with plenty of government service experience will likely be popular among lawmakers.

Well this is truly bad. US national level OS-level age verification bill. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/all-info

The text of it isn't out yet.

EDIT: Well the text is now out and it's as bad as you could imagine. It's not even just that you need to verify your age to access a website... operating systems must verify your age to let you *use a computer at all*

EDIT EDIT: Thanks to @Andres4NY for pointing out that it also holds responsible anyone who has any software shipped on the operating system of a computer, meaning FOSS developers eveywhere
