New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

a lot of folks are asking how someone can do something so "stupid" as hard coding a secret token, and i'm telling you that you are holding software developers and companies on way too high a pedestal if you still think there's secure, quality code being sent out into the world
HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD

What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

Trump's performance tonight in North Carolina is a disgrace and the crowd isn't into it at all, but you could've said the same thing about innumerable rallies of his in 2024 and then 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. I hope we're smarter now!

Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."

As has been the case in recent years, the #Canes will begin camp split into two groups.

C1 remains the more veteran batch, featuring most of last season's NHL roster, while C2 mostly consists of players who spent last year in the AHL.

Just mailed in a voted Wake County NC absentee ballot, I used the drop slot INSIDE a USPS Post Office. Postage is $1.98 or 3 forever stamps. Another option at this point is delivery in person to the county board of elections office that issued it, weekdays during business hours. #ncpol

I know we’re numb to this, but it is really bad that journalists and politicians both feel so comfortable lying. Society cannot sustain itself when its elites just lie like this.

All nationalism is fake but "we founded an independent country because we were angry about the prevailing price of oil and natural gas and disagreed with federal policies regarding pipeline investment" is even faker than usual.
I will say this. Quebec separatists usually come from a genuine belief that Quebec is a distinct culture and nation that should be a country.

Alberta separatists seem to think of separation as a big "I'm mad" button that will magically force Ottawa to write them checks for being very special boys.

We have allegations that:

1) athletes were denied water

2) heat exposure polices were not followed

3) training staff didn’t follow emergency heat procedures when Mayich collapsed

4) guest “trainer” wasn’t vetted or under contract

Powers and ASU failed Mayich.
