Everything Macron does here is calculated. It's the difference between leaving no tip and leaving a nickel as a tip—the latter is a no-ambiguity message, "This wasn't oversight, it was a deliberate choice"

And it's not just that Macron doesn't shake Trump's hand, it's that his hand moves to Zelenskyy's back after letting Trump hang in midair

The contrast between his admiration for one man and contempt for the other couldn't be clearer

Day in the life of a Black Hat reviewer

submission #37/219: Here's 2 years of work in which we pwned several Internet exchanges and ISPs, spent 6 mos coordinating disclosure w/ 16 vendors, and a completed 40 slide deck & full whitepaper.

6. What is the environmental cost of the paradigm that OpenAI proliferated with their top notch propaganda & is now pushed by Anthropic? (Of course we wrote about this back in 2020 which is what I got fired for, but its only gotten massively worse since then: Section 3 https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3442188.3445922).
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

TIL: The 2000s piracy PSA used a font designed by the fantastic Just van Rossum, whose brother Guido created the Python programming language. https://fontsinuse.com/uses/67480/piracy-it-s-a-crime-psa

Any politician that throws Palestinians under the bus, will throw transgender people under the bus, will throw queer people under the bus, and people with disabilities, people of colour, women, the poor, the elderly - whichever group they can scapegoat will be next when the old one is exterminated.

New from 404 Media: that "college protester" you see online isn't real. Instead it's an AI-powered undercover bot for cops.

We've obtained documents showing how 'Massive Blue' is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to protesters. Examples:

This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops

Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

The World Press Photo this year was taken despite a genocidal apartheid nation violently murdering journalists that tried to cover its child murdering, red cross executing ways. Israel cannot stop the truth of its unparalleled evil reaching the world.
