  RE: https://wikis.world/@legoktm/116799699414928964 🚨 🚨 🚨 Darializa Avila Chevalier, a PhD student, aka "DAC" has defeated 10-year incumbent Adriano Espaillat, Chair of the Hispanic Caucus, who had been in elected office since 1997. This is a far far bigger upset than Zohran (an elected official) defeating Cuomo (a scandal-tarred candidate who already had to resign). #NYCpol #NYC #DemTeaParty

  RE: https://social.freedom.press/@securedrop/116805553545070289 The low priority issue we disclosed today managed to get assigned CVE-2026-50000. Didn't include this in the writeup, but just for the purpose of keeping score, this would likely not have happened if it was written in #Rust because mutability is part of the type system, so you don't end up accidentally mutating what should be an immutable object! https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/security/advisories/GHS...

  "So what, some say, if he is legally barred from ever seeking the White House? Republicans do illegal things all the time. They’ve been talking about running Trump for an equally unconstitutional third term since he won the election. Most might dismiss such thoughts out of hand, but I find it to be more fun to entertain them." lmao https://www.ettingermentum.news/p/the-official-aoc-alternative-tier

  RE: https://wikis.world/@legoktm/116817249311475780 "The single most important statistic in New York City politics is not someone’s race or whether they have a college degree or own their apartment — it is what year they were born." https://www.michaellange.nyc/p/when-narratives-meet-facts

  What a sad downfall at what used to be an incredible media outlet. Time to pull the plug. https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/intercept-signal-tip-line-breach-hack And subscribe to Drop Site News, which is truly carrying on the legacy of The Intercept.

  You know things are going super well when people are learning about the intricacies of the Court of Arbitration for Sport procedures and how its ad hoc court system works. #WorldCup

  RE: https://social.freedom.press/@securedrop/116885499842929296 fwiw, Opus 4.8 was not able to immediately find this bug, whereas Fable was (once I pointed Opus to the specific file, then it spotted the issue)

  reminder that the US did once abolish DST and everyone hated it so much that Congress reversed itself within months yes, switching is bad but losing that much sunlight is way worse tbh there are a number of other problems, like the fact that a number of states/cities are in the wrong timezone! https://www.natesilver.net/p/save-daylight-savings-time

  New blog post: Archiving Hell Gate's FYIs https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/05/08/archiving-hell-gates-fyis.html Hell Gate's website has a "FYI" blurb which is usually one to two sentences with a link to a story about some current event. Unfortunately it's not well advertised; so I've created an archive of them and set up an RSS feed: https://legoktm.com/hellgatenyc-fyi/ #HellGateNYC

  RE: https://social.freedom.press/@securedrop/116443679071546817 “While vulnerabilities were identified, none are considered easily exploitable by attackers. This lowers their practical risk and indicates that SecureDrop Workstation is on a good security level compared to systems of similar size and complexity.” 😎

  Wow, kudos to the brave leaker who gave the New York Times internal U.S. Supreme Court memos from the first-ever "shadow docket" case, and to the Times for publishing them in full. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/04/18/us/politics/supreme-court-shadow-docket-papers.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b1A.MqRC._TCHnqobQlDI&smid=url-share (gift link) More #SCOTUS leaks please!!

  I would've been shocked if a *jury* didn't find #Ticketmaster guilty https://apnews.com/article/live-nation-ticketmaster-antitrust-trial-f0ffdd20dd4f64e8b4bb9d97134b826f Kudos to the (lowercase) united States for sticking with the case after the (uppercase) United States tried to corruptly cut a deal. Now it's time for remedies!

  I don't know why people are focusing on IBM's history when we know that Red Hat, today, is a military contractor working with the US Air Force to make their AI-powered drones faster so they can "compress the kill cycle" (a real thing they advertise!!) in all of the US's illegal wars https://vmst.io/@jalefkowit/116310286504776036

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@nathandyer/116353464692290660 Red Hat has since removed their war crime-supporting "Compress the kill cycle" marketing page from their website but left other references up, e.g. https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf (also saved on IA now) A really good summary of what compressing the kill cycle means in practical terms was recently published in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/ne...

  RE: https://wikis.world/@legoktm/116365775366782119 Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project.

  EXCLUSIVE: Justice Sotomayor on AI, taxes, and more In answering questions from law students at CUNY today, Sotomayor said there are three "critical skills" students absolutely need to learn: writing, public speaking, and ... AI?? “You should not be graduating without taking an AI course,” she said. And that using it is explicitly "not cheating." She also talked about taxes, birthright citizenship, never losing a case again / losing all your cases, and more...
