Cory DoctorowWell this is fucking clever - hide a malicious powershell script inside a license file, assuming (correctly) that no one EVER looks inside a license file. #DEFCON31 (from Andrew Brandt' War Stories presentation)

Parker MolloyOne news item, two very different headlines/angles on the story
U.S. CDC still looking at potential stroke risk from Pfizer bivalent COVID shot
New data from one U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) database shows a possible stroke risk link for older adults who received an updated Pfizer <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/PFE.N" target="_blank">(PFE.N)</a>/BioNTech <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/22UAy.DE" target="_blank">(22UAy.DE)</a> COVID-19 booster shot, but the signal is weaker than what the agency had flagged earlier in January, health officials said on Thursday.

Redemption.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A time to reflect on how the example of a great man challenges us and invites us to be better than we are.
Also a time for people who hate living civil rights activists to remind us how much they prefer dead civil rights activists.

Robert ReichThe party of "fiscal responsibility," folks.
First CBO score of the new Congress is here.

Net deficit increase of $114B.
