Hundreds of thousands will die because of Musk and Trump. Don’t look away.
By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for two weeks.
He bundled her into a rented canoe and paddled toward the nearest hospital, eight hours away.
Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

Last week I announced that we're finally killing off RC4 in the Windows Kerberos stack.
This has been a long time coming, so much so that we've been working on it for more than a decade, albeit off and on as we sometimes had to target other more pressing issues.
What does this mean?

Lol Corrupt without competence
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

A recent modeling study in JAMA showed that if MMR vaccine rates drop 10% (easy to see happen with this), we’re back to 400,000-500,000 cases a year. Our current outbreak is 2,000. This turns the clock back to 1950 🚨🚨🚨
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
