I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

I just watched the start of Frauds (iTV), with Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker. Looks good so far, & Guardian gave it a good review.

Ps my old COVID test kits had expired, showed negative. New, fresh ones picked up my recent infection.

"Did someone say my name..."

a man in a cowboy hat is smoking a cigarette in front of a train .

Alt: James Cockburn - sorry, Coburn - lazily pushes a tan cowboy hat back from his face with one finger.

Oh somebody stop me!

a man with a green mask on his face is wearing a hat and saying somebody .

Alt: A man with a green Mask puts on a big yellow hat and says "Somebody stop me!". From the movie The Mask (1994), probably the best film of that year.

It's interesting that Scotland had strong Conservative/Unionist support until the end of the 1970s. Then Labour were dominant until the 2010s, then SNP until now.

The start to this story gives me the shivers...like when a group of young kids find a spooky house in the woods. "No! I know something bad is going to happen!" 🫣

An excellent case of cutting-edge technology meeting consumer needs.

For example, I frequently stream some money to my mouth so I can eat it.

I get strong Snowy-from-Tintin vibes whenever I see this word. Love that Snowy's barks were not translated!

A Tintin comic strip in three panels: in the first, a gorilla drops an unconscious Tintin in surprise, while Snowy the dog (off screen to the left) barks "Wooah!"
In the second panel, Tintin lies stunned on the floor (dressed, inexplicably, in a kilt) while Snowy chases the gorilla off, barking "Wooah! Wooah! Wooah!"
In the third panel, Snowy turns to Tintin and says That's seen him off, Now let's attend to Tintin.

Note that in French, 'Wooah' sounds like "wow!" as in "bow wow"
