Here to remind everybody that the LA Times is one of the publications that wouldn't let their editorial board endorse Harris because its billionaire owner wanted to cozy up to Trump.

Get your news from another source.

Maybe just dox Heritage Foundation members right back ...

For those of you scoring at home, we're taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and Great Britain.

Not often the top comment has a c-bomb in it. well played and totally on point.

If the Trump legal team has viewed it, and it's been submitted to a judge, enough people have seen this thing for an "anonymous leak" of the reports to the media.

Do it.

Love QI!

"Faced strong GPS jamming"

Guess which fascist regime is responsible for that? Merry Christmas!

To be fair, I think it always has been. Think about the unimaginable wealth the Catholic Church has amassed over the past couple of centuries.

I saw something recently that the Trinity Church in New York by itself has like $7 billion in assets.

The trouble is if they step down now, we're going to get some unqualified, young friend of Trump on the court for the next few decades.

I have YouTube TV and only use it for sports.

I'll go one step further and say I haven't watched a new, regular network television show in at least a decade. Who has time to watch 20-something episodes each season - with much of that time spent on fluff story lines that only exist so the show can fill a time slot for 22/23 weeks a year?

Here's a great example: Lost.

At the time it was amazing. But there was also a lot of unnecessary BS in there because, frankly, they needed to fill time. If you go and look, almost all of the top rated episodes for the series were the last handful of episodes at the end of the season.

Now imagine if they took that show and made 10/13 episode seasons out of it.

I think you could make the same case for most network TV shows. Even if they were amazing at 23 episodes, they'd be even better at 10 or 13.

A great example IMO is Friday Night Lights. Amazing show overall, but that first season was just too long. Then because of a variety of reasons, they moved to 13-15 episodes a season (instead of 23 in season one), and the show excelled.

ABC capitulated on the bullshit lawsuit he filed against them, so now he's targeting other organizations.

If you're looking for a VPN, check out Mullvad.

It's just €5 / $5.25 / £4.15 a month. They haven't changed that price since launching in 2009. So they've also been around a while. Does everything you need a VPN to do. And they're based in Sweden, which seems to have some good privacy rules. They also don't keep logs.

Might be a bit of a contrarian take, but at this point I think Trump needs to have a gigantic fuck up to drive people to the streets in anger, South Korea style. One of those 'we need our medicine before we can get better' moments.

For some reason tens of millions of people buy his "'I'm the greatest - only I can save you - they're evil and stupid" rhetoric.

So it's going to take a truly epic fuck up that he can't bullshit his way out of - and that the media can't ignore - for people to finally see that him and his cronies are all gigantic pieces of shit.

Honestly ... Just don't connect the TV to the Internet.

And laptops, desktops, televisions ...

Yeah because somebody as motivated as the shooter in Manhattan will totally be deterred by removing the "Our Team" pages from your website.

Talk about focusing on the wrong thing. How about instead of worrying about how to hide the names of your executives you instead have a meeting where you decide to be an ethical company that balances the needs of the shareholder with the needs of your customers.

Novel idea, I know.

How many times has he used this 'caravan of migrants' baseless claim?

For those scoring at home, Canada, Mexico and China account for 1/3rd of our imports. Such a tariff would have some pretty significant inflationary implications.

The impact this will have on oil and gas alone. 62% of our petroleum imports come from Canada and Mexico. And 70% of our crude oil imports.

Financial corruption is the entire point.

You have to assume at this point everything is able to be bought, from cabinet positions to getting your nephew a job in whatever agency you'd like.

Good. Democrats need to start playing hardball to combat the GOP's anti-democratic antics.

I enjoy that they're focusing on 'promoting pirated software and game cheats' before talking about malware first.

Cybersecurity ethusiast Karol Paciorek who spotted the playlist said, "cybercriminals exploit Spotify for malware distribution. Why? Spotify has a strong reputation and its pages are easily indexed by search engines, making it an effective platform to promote malicious links."

That's a very different, more helpful story. "Watch out, Spotify links are being used to distribute malware to your computer."

When abusing platforms, spammers and scammers leave no stone unturned to promote their agenda.

Money. They aren't doing this as part of a 'peons of the world unite to steal software' scheme. They're doing it to generate traffic so they make more ad revenue.
