Predatory Sparrow is distinguished most of all by its apparent interest in sending a specific geopolitical message with its attacks, says Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, an analyst at cybersecurity firm SentinelOne who has tracked the group for years. Those messages are all variations on a theme: If you attack Israel or its allies, we have the ability to deeply disrupt your civilization.

I am not sure if this 'specific geopitical message' is so unique to Israel. This is what countries like China , Russia, and others are doing as well, aren't they?

Seems Israel and China are competing to sell their spyware to world.

To whom it may concern:

How will Project 2025 affect you locally, in your community?

Our new Toolkit for Community Organizers is designed to help answer that question and support community organizers and stakeholders to facilitate community conversations about Project 2025’s impact. The toolkit consists of 13 modules on core topics of Project 2025’s plan and focuses on local impacts, but covers its global reach. [...] It will soon be available in Spanish and French.

I get your point, but we shouldn't forget that cheap products are often cheap because people elsewhere pay the price through low salaries, and sometimes no salaries at all. Not that I think that Trump would care about these people (or any people), but tariffs are a bit more complex than what Trump describes here as we know.

The Theranos case is not a scientific fraud in that sense if I understand the article correctly. Holmes had raised hundreds of millions of USD over several years before the first scientist even joined the Theranos board. They apoarently never had a technical (and assumably no financial) due diligence for their 'blood test', let alone a research paper. I'd call that a financial fraud, not a scientific fraud.

@ulkesh I would just add that he is supporting the NRA (their lobbying might be one reason for this 'opinion'), but I fully agree with what you've said.

Maybe, we can't be sure nowadays.

The site/URL was first registered on 1997-11-14, though, and the NYT is featuring him also at https://www.nytimes.com/events/climate-forward-2024

The content spread by the right-wing creators is misi.formation, not the linked article itself. I edited the title a bit to avoid a misunderstanding.

They have now, if and when they coordinate and cooperate between themselves, according to the researcher:

Africa’s voice is minimal in the agenda-setting, due mostly to the multiplicity of African states, African Union weakness and competing needs among African countries.

@PatheticGroundThing It really helps if you read the entire article before posting.

@PatheticGroundThing

It's in the article:

Why the company chose to hire human cosplayers for last week's World Robot Conference remains unclear. Were they hired as "booth babes," an outdated and sexist form of promotion? Or were they purposefully there to trick attendees into thinking they were robots?

Given the reception of the videos on social media, it's possible it's a mix of both.

Japan lodged a protest with China after one of its naval survey vessels entered Japanese waters on Aug 31, the second incursion into its territory by the Chinese military in less than a week - (Archived)

An uptick in Chinese military activity near Japan and around Taiwan in recent years has stoked concerns in Tokyo.

Japan has responded with a defence buildup that it says aims to deter Beijing from using military force to push its territorial claims in the region.

How Fox helped Trump break the law and turn his Arlington National Cemetery visit into a political event

Fox gave immediate fawning coverage to Trump’s campaign visit, which broke federal law despite his staff being warned prior

Yeah, I too hope she is well but there's been no news in a long time.

Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes (August 2023) --- [Archived version]

When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than as genuine human beings.

[...]

Naomi Wu's devastating July 7th [2023] tweet alluded to a pressure that had long been feared by many, yet optimistically hoped she could manage to avoid indefinitely.

Ok for those of you that haven't figured it out I got my wings clipped and they weren't gentle about it- so there's not going to be much posting on social media anymore and only on very specific subjects. I can leave but Kaidi can't so we're just going to follow the new rules and…

If we want to know whether or not digital devices should be allowed in schools, why don't we ask the folks in the Silicon Valley. They must know it, and have been telling us for years:

Parents working in Silicon Valley are sending their children to a school where there’s not a computer in sight – (2015)

In the heart of Silicon Valley is a nine-classroom school where employees of tech giants Google, Apple and Yahoo send their children. But despite its location in America’s digital centre, there is not an iPad, smartphone or screen in sight.

Texas AG raids homes of Latino civil rights group members, setting up a voting rights showdown -(Archived)

The raids have triggered outrage and cries of voter suppression in a state with a long history of discrimination against citizens of Mexican descent, which helped give rise to LULAC.

Reid Hoffman & Co have been heavily lobbying against Linda Khan, recently also with donations to Kamala Harris' campaign. I also hope Ms. Khan keeps her job after Ms. Harris became president ...

A far right-wing agenda by Trump's supporters to overthrow democracy in the U.S. See, for example, here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240810100005/https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-project-2025-secret-training-videos-trump-election
