…early October 2023 and two Egyptian warnings about signs of an impending attack from #Gaza had gone unheeded by #Israel. Kamel called Israeli PM #Netanyahu to deliver a third alert, said officials in an #Arab government.
Egypt warned Netanyahu of attack days before Oct. 7, after two previous warnings — report
Intel chief Abbas Kamel called PM in early October, having already warned officials that Gaza was a tinderbox, WSJ reports; premier has denied receiving warnings from Egypt, UAE

So the US is “working on a deal” to buy Potash from a dictator allied with Putin instead of Canada.

Oregon is worst for funding road maintenance, and has 2 of the 3 most expensive highway expansion projects in the nation. Hardly a coincidence. cityobservatory.org/bankrupt-a-3... oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/09/18/o...
Oregon has one of the nation’s largest funding gaps to meet road maintenance needs • Oregon Capital Chronicle
The Beaver State has the second highest gap-to-expenditure ratio in the country, behind New York and tied with Connecticut.

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.

This Flock camera is running obsolete, end-of-life software.

- It's on Android 8.1, released in 2017, support ended in 2021
- It's on Android patch level 2018-06-5
- It's running Linux 3.18, released in 2017

This shit is like 8 or 9 years old, and full of vulnerabilities.

I tracked down the very likely specific Flock camera itself. It's in Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee. Here's a photo of it from Google Street View. The GPS coordinates were in the logs

Affording actual equal rights to those pictured below would really move the needle: the big and heavy users literally infringe on the space and safety of others without commensurate cost. Wonder where #ODOT funding goes?

To freebies like road repair for the heaviest of users.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers.

Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself.

Textbook corporate greed.
