Sometimes, someone writes something so brilliant all you can do is weep in frustration that you will never write something half as brilliant. So it is with this paragraph by @jysexton.bsky.social exploring the mind of Trump. You must read his latest. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-dying-pu...

Crowdfund the first journalist to show up to one of these press conferences in a full on North Korean general’s uniform and ask the most DPRK softball questions imaginable.
“Are the bandages on Dear Leader‘s hand the result of backhanding his enemies at 150% or 200% of full power?”
“Are the bandages on Dear Leader‘s hand the result of backhanding his enemies at 150% or 200% of full power?”
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?
LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

You know the drill: upgrade right now. These aren't as serious as last week's RCE, but they're still bad. Platforms are blocking these, but once again you shouldn't rely on it.
Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.
