  @Kierkegaanks They covered their asses with a qualified immunity case a few years back. They've been getting their ducks lined up for some time... :ducc: 🦆 The current case on the topic says you get immunity just for being employed by the government. :dunno: 🤷 https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-8th-circuit/2153153.html

  A bureaucrat in California noticed a garden hose poking out of a supposedly vacant warehouse. When they went inside there was an illegal China-funded biotech facility inside. :ah: #News #China #Biotech #Epidemiology https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-03-25/she-uncovered-terrifying-lab-hidden-in-california-with-alleged-ties-to-china

  One of the two largest #Mortgage providers in the #US just decided you can use #BitCoin when you offer collateral, effectively allowing every #TechBro in the country to cash out at the same time. The #Mortgages will be left unbacked if defaulted on, since there is no way for the bank to cash out after seizing them. :blobfearful: #FinancialNews #RealEstate #Finance #2008financialcrisis https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/coinbase-fannie-mae-enable-crypto-120846995.html

  Every day a person wakes up locked in a box. The switch to let you out is on the ceiling, but the only thing that could reach it is a broken stick. A speaker says, "oh no! Your stick is broken? What are you going to do? Maybe you should be a Marxist, or a Christian, or keep your head down and work harder!" There's a foreign guy shouting from the next room that you're stupid for wanting to try to hit the switch because being locked in rooms is just natural, and h...

  Welcome back to #Minnesota ❗️ Just a reminder: They don't have any civilian police training and none of the policies and procedures that are meant to guide the real #Police in what is, admittedly, a hard job. Either side of the issue, local police should be responsible for this. :blobcatangery: #News #LawEnforcement https://youtube.com/watch?v=SG9N3ztZRjM

  Data storage is an interesting field. New methods are proposed regularly, but cost to market vs. alternatives is often the rub. Either way, this is an interesting read. :blobthinkingsmirk: #TechnologyNews #DataStorage https://techxplore.com/news/2026-02-laser-etched-glass-years-microsoft.html

  You know the journalists are serious when they title part of their article, "Palantir products in Gaza: optimizing the kill chain." The authors are evidently being targeted by a #SLAPP suit. They were reportedly turned down by #Switzerland because, among other reasons, associating with #Palantir was seen as a reputational risk. :aneodog_blink: #ForeignRelations #TechnologyNews #CensoredNews https://www.republik.ch/2026/02/18/how-tenaciously-palantir-courted-switzerland

  @leolaporte I'm trying to find an old episode of the Security Now podcast but I'm not finding the episode I was looking for. Any chance you remember a conversation around a leaker talking about a "ring sub-three" (below ring zero) security access method dependent on a physical Ethernet connection?

  @sereeena The main voice for appeasement was Neville Chamberlain with Edward standing behind him rubbing his shoulders like a boxing coach. They both turned out to be Fascists themselves. If the #Boomer Democrats are pro-Fascist maybe they're just Fascists. :blobamused:
