George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽For Donald Trump, the results of November's midterms are everything. Will Democrats take back Congress and stymie his final two years in office or will Republicans hold onto majorities in both chambers? Trump is already trying to rig the outcome in the GOP's favor, but what other tactics might he use between now and Election Day? And will he be successful? Here’s a look into those questions and more. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-subvert-2026-midterms

Jeff JarvisIt was a bravura moment of political diplomacy for Mamdani, but of course, the #BrokenTimes must find an extremist to give it "mixed reviews." The #MamdaniVendetta continues.

BrianKrebsSocial engineering -- the art of tricking people into doing stupid shit -- has always been the most reliable way to hack anything. Now with AI browsers and agentic this and that, we've actually built social engineering into the code. So it can be used to trick others but also trick itself. Brilliant!
God's work.

Qasim Rashid, Esq.As a lawyer let me remind y'all that "UN-indicted co-conspirator" is not a legal term. It is a made up term to demonize Muslims, immigrants, & Black & brown people—simply anyone they want to depict as scary & dangerous.
An indictment requires "probable cause." "UN-indicted" means there wasn't even probable cause of wrongdoing. So when they attack Zohran for taking a photo with an "UN-indicted co-conspirator" they're pushing racist & bigoted propaganda—not facts. Recognize & reject it as such.
So much news, so little clarity. Here’s a place to follow what actually matters. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/

If you want to learn about how threat actors bypass MFA and security controls, this is a really good video. Spoiler: they just use infostealers.
It’s 2x real threat actor videos, where the threat actor recorded themselves. From 2023.
1st is YouTube account takeover replaying session cookie
2nd is corporate Outlook email theft using session token, via GraphAPI. As I’ve said before, attackers live in Graph now (yes, it’s a pivot of John Lambert’s saying).
