Sir! I salute you :tiphat:

I lost a 45yr fiend to CNN. He believes everything they say is verbatim. I an retired and do a lot of research during the day on a myriad of topics, while that is going on, CNN is running in the background. But what i see and hear during the day, as been nipped and tucked by the time it hits Cuomo's time slot. BTW, he is not the only one. But my friend said he was the bestest anchor on the news and glued himself to that screen nightly. BTW, it is not only CNN that is culpable to this argument. But they are the worse! e.g the histeria wrt horseman "whipping" migrants. The dude that took the picture, debunked that statement but, not until the damage was done. By both Maxine and the "rock star". There is so much hypocrisy on both sides, I fully support your statement. You reap what you sew.

One does not reap what one sews. Sewing is done with needle and thread, sowing of seed is an offshoot of agriculture.
One reaps what one sows" is the correct usage of the term.
Next up is "bestest". Was it really your pal that used that term ? If so, why, for heavens sake did you not correct his usage, as there is not, nor has there ever been such a term?
As you state you are citing verbatim, I am left wondering who did what, with usage.

Comfortably numb!
R U a grammar Nazi or what. Tu parles tu Francais? Give me a break already!

Bestest was the word he used, in plane English, the cat's meow, right on point, the only worthy news worth watching, etc...

I did correct his beliefs not his language and yes. I was the best man at his wedding and he is the executor of my will (If my wife and I go together).

I see your favourite colour is blue! I don't have one. Place me on ignore or simply ignore me. What was the purpose of your post again?

When you come into a thread that I created and maintain, and post linguistic oddness, prepare yourself to be
questioned on it. Got a problem with that, I am indeed sorry, which changes nothing.
The intent of the thread as stated in the opening post is exchange, not pontification.
You are mistaken with respect to any favored color on my part. Madam Lulu remains safe in your presence.
Thank you most kindly for the response, I fail to see what you found difficult and bothersome about it.
I have yet to place anyone on ignore, and have no intent to start.
The intent of the previous post is identical to this one. Clarification.
I look forward to your future posting, have a nice evening.

Anonymous releases data on Texas GOP in latest Epik hack dump

The new leak is alleged to contain 'private documents' from the Republican Party of Texas.

https://www.dailydot.com/debug/anony...exas-gop-epik/

Hackers operating under the banner of Anonymous have released more data from Epik, the controversial web hosting company known for offering refuge to the far-right.

In a press release titled “You Lost The Game,” the hacktivist group announced on Monday part three of what it has dubbed “Operation EPIK FAIL.”
The latest leak is alleged to contain more bootable disk images of Epik’s servers as well as a data backup linked to the Republican Party of Texas, which is said to include “private documents” and “draft articles that didn’t make the narrative cut.” The Texas GOP website had been defaced by Anonymous in retaliation for the state’s controversial abortion ban on Sept. 11.

The Daily Dot is in the process of verifying the authenticity of the data after receiving it.

The campaign against Epik was first acknowledged on Sept. 13 when Anonymous revealed that it had breached the domain registrar, exposing at least 180GB of sensitive data. The hackers followed up on Sept. 30 with “The /b/ Sides,” a more than 300GB release containing bootable disk images of Epik’s servers.

The leaks have continued to cause widespread fallout for Epik’s customers, which includes websites such as Parler, Gab, 8chan, and TheDonald. The first release exposed everything from passwords and credit card numbers to customer names, email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers.

Epik CEO Rob Monster would eventually weigh in on the breach on Sept. 16 in an unorthodox video conference open to the public. The four-hour meeting saw Monster break out into prayer multiple times, issue warnings about “cursed” hard drives bursting into flames, and engage in a back-and-forth with a notorious neo-Nazi.

The data cache allowed the Daily Dot to discover not only websites that had been targeted with subpoenas by the FBI and others but trace the actions of prominent far-right figures such as Ali Alexander, who attempted to scrub his digital ties to dozens of domains relating to election fraud conspiracy theories in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

A real estate agent in Florida who was found to have registered numerous antisemitic domains also lost their job. A man who ran websites relating to the Proud Boys in Canada, where the far-right group is listed as a terrorist organization, was placed under investigation by his employer at a government-owned pipeline and energy company.

The Oath Keepers militia, which began using Epik following the failed insurrection, also had its data leaked on Sept. 27. Although those responsible did not claim affiliation with Anonymous, dates found within the data, which was given by the hackers to the journalism and transparency collective DDoSecrets, suggest the exposure could have been linked to Epik’s breach.

The Daily Dot was able to find at least 160 official government and military email addresses in a membership list compiled by the militia. Multiple investigations have been launched as a result of the leak. The New York Police Department (NYPD) announced last week that it had launched an internal review of two officers whose names were found in the breach.

The second release of Epik data resulted in the exposure of at least 59 API keys, which allow to securely communicate with one another, for services such as Twitter, Coinbase, and PayPal. Monster claimed during his live video conference with the public that someone had attempted to use his API key for Coinbase to steal $100,000.

It remains unclear what fallout will result from the third release as journalists and researchers struggle to sift through the enormous amounts of information already present in the previous two leaks.

The news of the latest leak was first reported by Steven Monacelli.

i didn't think anything could depress me further after our nations political situation & the corona virus deaths. that's what i get for thinking, i reckon...🤕
The penalty for assessment in interesting times.
We live in a compromised society that just does not seem to think the same of us that it once did.
I think about the many programs when I was a kid, that were designed to help the average person,
and do not like seeing them replaced with money stores and endless scams to prey upon the average person.

Fascist extremists in Ukraine brag they have received training from the Canadian Forces: report

The study from an institute at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., tracked social media accounts of the far-right group Centuria, documenting its Ukrainian military members giving Nazi salutes, promoting white nationalism and praising members of Nazi SS units.

“The Ukrainian military’s failure to check Centuria activities suggests a level of tolerance on its part for the apparent proliferation of far-right ideology and influence within the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the study warned.

One member of the group has received officer training in the United Kingdom’s Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, graduating in late 2020. Another attended the German Army Officer’s Academy in Dresden in 2019.

In the summer of 2019, Centuria came out in support of a rally held by Ukrainian far-right groups to counter the LGBTQ “Kyiv Pride” event. Centuria released a statement that it supported “right patriots, nationalists, conservatives and Christians currently defending the streets of Kyiv from perverts from the LGBT movement and their left-liberal sympathizers.”
