Probably the last CVE indexed before it goes dark should be CVE-2025-DOGE (critical, local privilege escalation vulnerability that leads to malicious code execution and data exfiltration).

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

In case you missed it, if someone is against “woke” they are telling you they are a bigot / racist.

Musk now “just wow”-ing initiatives started under Trump 1.0.
The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Good point by @pkrugman.bsky.social. Musk keeps making up lies about "fraud" in the government because they literally have not found a single true example they can point to.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule
