Caution, though, Watts' set and setting is so excessively decadent dark so he probably broke a knob in case of Blindpraxia, where he introduced no less than vampires(!) and failed to explain them properly effectively making them very flexible dei ex machinis to fix otherwise broken plot.

Blindsight worth reading indeed, depiction of scary aliens is excellent there, Echopraxia is completely disappointing disaster movie in the print form. I'm going to point you at The Island novelette and whole Sunflowers series if you can endure its decadent dark set&setting.


UN can't even provide the very first human right, the freedom of expression. Neither can prevent acts of illegal war. Hence, this is just cheap populism exploiting current hype on "green" agenda.


Frances Haugen, the former Facebook employee who testified before the Senate commerce committee today, has a history of left-wing activism and is working with the same lawyer who represented the alleged Ukraine whistleblower who sparked the second bogus Trump impeachment.

Haugen testified before the Senate Commerce Committee today after getting the celebrity treatment from the establishment media, including a full-length interview on 60 Minutes.

Haugen, unlike other Facebook whistleblowers who have been ignored by the media, has called for more censorship of the platform, not less — and, according to her remarks at the hearing today, wants the government to step in to make it happen.

Not only that, but she believes that she, and people like her, should be in charge of regulating Facebook.

“There needs to be a regulatory home where someone like me could do a tour of duty after working at a place like [Facebook], and have a place to work on things like regulation,” said Haugen.

Laws were humane enough when allowed one to run for president


So, in a nutshell, presidential candidate is a felon.


I prefer John Carpenter’s “Hoax Watch”, tho :)


Its OK as long as gossip fit "progressive" agenda and/or comes from renowned "progressive" newspaper Pravda. Otherwise it is a racis' conspiracy.

That WaPo Krebs article links malware analysis which goes into dire detail on how that ransomware probes for Volume Shadow Copy (via amateur WMI) yet... omits keyboard layout probe method(s) at all (there are at least 3 possible ways)


Problem is - three-pigment e-ink was a new tech 10 years ago and still of luxury niche.


Honestly, I'm finding this headline more straightforward and matching the reality since Dr. Zuckerberg started his practice giving medical advices on Cow ID right and left.


> crazy conspiracy theory that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction

Don't blame NYT, they are just like proverbial broken clock which displays correct time twice per day. WMDs from Hussein's stockpile were still used in Syrian War until recently by Baath Socialist militants, the pathway for sarin is pretty clear.
