Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Now that the democrats are virtually assured to lose, they put this out.

“Dominion Voting Systems machines used in at least 16 states have software weaknesses that make them vulnerable to hacking, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) has warned election officials.

According to AP, which obtained the CISA advisory ahead of an anticipated Friday release, the agency said it has no evidence these vulnerabilities have actually been exploited, but is urging states to implement measures to prevent and detect hacking.“

gadfly said...: Good Morning Drago! Stale news from a twisted mind is what I need to read while sipping my morning coffee.

I am humbled to see that I bother you to the point where weak insults are all you have to give.; 6/3/22, 6:19 AM
tim in vermont said...: If you have ever watched "Seven Years in Tibet" you remember the scene where the young woman was shouting Chinese war propaganda full of outright lies over the radio. Well, I got that same vibe from some old lady long time MIC think tank/ Davos creature on Bloomberg hectoring us as to why we needed to fight Russia in Ukraine and defeat them, whatever the cost.

I like Bloomberg because they have a business imperative to maintain some semblance of credibility, they push the Democrat line, of course, one of the morning guys caught himself before expanding on why he thought the Biden White House was chaotic, because he said that if he said it, he would be put in "time out," but just by saying that, he said it. Not to mention that you can make inferences based on the numbers about what is really going on, and it's fun when the press pushes some obviously false take on some event, and it will move the market for a couple hours, and then the market will figure out reality and move back, so you know there are people out there who see through this crap. And the interviews give you insight into what the war mongers are thinking, even if they are pretty thin gruel if you are looking for the truth on the ground.

BTW, I was pretty amused to find out that my opposition to this war makes me "anti-semetic," I am maybe the only guy on the lake who has rigged his fishing boat out for whitefish, for my smoker. I am thinking of finding a recipe for gefilte fish, so I can use the pike I usually catch and release, as well.; 6/3/22, 6:46 AM

The end of an era.
"When asked why she chose to focus on chemistry and physics, Natalie exclaimed that “those were the two subjects that were hard for me and so I wanted to learn about them…chemistry and physics were a challenge, and I like a challenge.”

Robert Cook said...: "Iran is cyber attacking children hospitals in the US while the US is negotiating with them."

Sure...all we have to go by on this is an allegation by the FBI that a cyber attack by Iran was "planned," but that the FBI "thwarted" the plan.

Sure. Don't shit on me and tell me it's a mudslide.

"They have enough enriched uranium to make one nuke bomb."

Even if true, so what? What do you think they can do with it?

Your own country, the blessed USA, is far more violent in the world outside our boundaries than a hundred Irans, and we're far more likely to use nukes than any other nations who have nukes, (which Iran doesn't). We are the world's mass school shooter.; 6/3/22, 7:44 AM

Note to self: gadfly gets upset when anyone recalls his/her/xer's robotic pushing of all democratical talking points .

I suppose that could be because these recollections hamper the moronic spreading of todays democratical de rigueur talking points.

I will leave it to the crowdsourced collective wisdom of the Althouse commentariat to plumb the "depths" (LOL) of gadfly's "true conservative" (wink winl) daily pushing of democratical talking points and hoax conspiracies.; 6/3/22, 7:44 AM

Jupiter said...: A colleague mentioned that a meeting is held every other week for al the "stakeholders" in a particular program. I am old enough to remember when the usual collection of smarmy shitheads -- the women who can't program, the PR flacks who want to appear relevant, the slightly-over-his-head new manager -- all started talking about "stakeholders", meaning that collection of useless individuals who had no right to any consideration but would surely demand some anyway. But today, it turns out that someone has told him to stop using the word, because it is offensive to Indians.

Now, in my racket, "Indians" means people from India, and there are a lot of them, and some are OK and some are not. But taking offense at words in the English language is not one of their typical drawbacks, so I was a bit perplexed by this. But he explained that it was American Indians we are to avoid offending. Something to do with Europeans "staking out" their claims to Indian lands, which they (meaning we) then proceeded to steal.

So, some little sack of shit-covered stupidity, with a *** studies degree, got hired into some bullshit job that doesn't actually do anything, and she cooked up this idiotic claptrap, and published it in a business e-mail, and was not fired. I gotta sell my stock.; 6/3/22, 5:18 PM
