The hacker told 404 Media that they targeted TeleMessage because they were “just curious how secure it was... If I could have found this in less than 30 minutes then anybody else could too. And who knows how long it’s been vulnerable?”

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

I just met my client Dr. Badar Khan Suri for the first time in person. He said something I won't soon forget. "I was who they wanted me to be, my head down, silent. But after they did this, why should I be silent? If they wanted me to be silent, they shouldn't have arrested me." #FreeBadarKhanSuri

This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament (!) in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War and need stronger domestic opposition.

Always another adventure in getting ADHD meds. Usually you can’t get more than 30 days. Pharmacy just said they can’t fill the kid’s scrip because his dad’s insurance now requires 90 days, and this was written for 30–because he has an appointment in two weeks, which is also required. WTF.

“There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.” This is the energy I am trying to encourage people to cultivate instead of “they’ll arrest you next.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a drag as deep as, “I’m going to offer you a role on my big famous TV show playing characters who act as stupid as you did at the last family dinner.” Family keeps you humble.

Feels concerning to me that the era of "do your own research" as policy is coinciding with the era of "all the highest quality research is paywalled and there's an absolute fountain of true and reliable sounding garbage floating around in fake journals available for free"
