Looks like it's time to post @clareblackwood.bsky.social's masterpiece again. Because American governors' crocodile tears are just not cutting it. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/dro...

Navigating Nuance: Carney’s Bold Diplomatic Shift at the G7, @msSharanKaur writes. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/06/17/n...

I was standing ten yards away when this happened, and while I totally get Starmer's instinctive reaction, the optics are a bit unfortunate.

So this happened last night,our Prime Minister and British Prime Minister having a beer in a local Ottawa pub. It doesn't matter what your political party is, it's still pretty amazing to be Canadian!😊❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

In some sermons that we reviewed, Vance Boelter can be heard railing against the LGBTQ community and abortion www.wired.com/story/shooti... story with @timmarchman.bsky.social and @leahfeiger.bsky.social

“Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.” Werner Herzog

Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter seems to be associated with the authoritarian, charismatic Christian right. 2 months ago, The Christ for The Nations Institute (CFNI) honored Cindy Jacobs, a top apostle and prophet in the theocratic New Apostolic Reformation movement.

In which I explain that Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter is associated with the welter of charismatic Christian cultic groups which comprise the [theocratic] New Apostolic Reformation movement that is organizing state by state to put Americans under "biblical law".

This project broke GitHub. If OpenSSL is Ikea, llhash is Lego. Building blocks to work from, but not a room full of tools and raw material. A rapid prototyping kit for CTFs. It is the fastest (on x86_64) open source implementation of most algorithms it supports. github.com/ryancdotorg/...

Etats-Unis / Le sénateur californien Alex Padilla vient d'être expulsé de force d'une conférence de presse du DHS et menotté après avoir voulu poser une question au secrétaire d'État, cette situation a suscité une importante réaction politique, Gavin Newsom la qualifié de “dictatorial and shameful”

Paragon Graphite Spyware used a zero-day exploit to hack at least two journalists’ iPhones

Absolutely brilliant book. Highly recommended. 'An Espionage Operation Unfolding in Real Time' via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

Vibe Coding will be the new gold rush for hacking.

🇨🇦 Canada has announced new military aid to Ukraine worth over 35 million CAD (approx. $25.5M). The package includes Coyote & Bison APCs, ammunition, and electronic warfare systems.

The Ford government keeps talking about how they’ve made a world-class health care system. I asked if they still believe this while ERs close, 2.5 million people go without a family doctor, and patients die on waitlists. My question hit a nerve. #onpoli #Nepean

Building More Scalable GenAI Applications for Startups and Developers

I'm biased, but this report is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the state of AI in 2025. It explains how AI is entrenching power for big tech and the oligarch class, speeding deregulation, dislodging human expertise and threatening workers—and how there's still time to refuse all that.

Alright infosec hive mind, I asked this a few years ago on Twitter and I'm curious what books I missed since then. What are your favorite fiction AND non-fiction books about hacking, hackers, and cybersecurity? Previously I was told: 1/3

“Engineers in Noida and Bangalore manually coded client projects while being instructed to mimic AI-generated responses.” It’s not only deception, it’s dehumanization, which is the inevitable result of turning humans into machines. www.techspot.com/news/108173-...

Secret note reveals Russian drone C2 tactics

Just the tip of the iceberg from this roll-your-own security protocol. We're about to usher in a golden age of Valhalla-level AI pwnage, and it'll be riding on the coattails of badly designed agents. invariantlabs.ai/blog/mcp-git...

Today I am is at booth A155 at #Websummit2025 in #Vancouver in case you wanted to say hello and maybe even talk about using #OSINT to perform due diligence on startups, mergers and acquisitions, or whatever. #VenteNova

Thursday May 29th I am at booth A155 at #WebSummit. If you are interested in learning about due diligence on #startups then check us out.

We're live at #WebSummit Vancouver. Garth and I are excited to unveil what we’ve been working on. VenteNova is a platform designed to give #venture #investors real operational insight into startup execution. If you spot us walking around, ask for our "Unicorn Hunting" sticker, hot off the press.

Tesla sales in all of Europe dropped by 52.6% in April, according to ACEA - European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. One can only wonder why.

CRITICAL vulnerability in AI software engineering layer (MCP server of Github). Expect many, many more of such issues. This is a first real-world demonstration of how agents can be hijacked, leaking secret or private data. invariantlabs.ai/blog/mcp-git...

@citizenlab.ca Let’s get to it.

Well it finally happened. A porch pirate stole a delivery.

Another day, another email from Russia's fake news factory. If you want an insight into where Russia's strategic interests are at the moment, we've received a dozen emails like this about the President of Moldova since April 21st, and none before. Seems someone got their orders in April.

Wow, PM Carney is soaring while seatless loser Poilievre is below the basement; far less than half of Canadians feel Pierre has qualities to be a good political leader: nanosresearch.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/NanosS...
