    OL REIGN LEGEND: KATE STARBIRD – FORMER PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER AND PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON ********************************************************** Kate Starbird left Twitter ostensibly because of Elon Musk. Who is Kate Starbird, you ask? Well, she sits on the Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation and Disinformation Subcommittee for the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee (CCAC). Her job is to monitor mis-, dis-, and mal-information (MDM) and make recommendations to the CCAC about how to counter the cyber (MDM) threats that “undermine” public trust. Most recently, she advised on how to counter MDM in the 2022 elections. Prior to that, she “peddled the...

    Elon Musk’s noble crusade to restore free speech to the global public square has so far been everything patriots dared hope for: a declaration of war against our corrupt regime and the censorship required to sustain it. So far Elon has met and exceeded our expectations, having restored President Trump, announced a “general amnesty for banned accounts,” and done away with the site’s old Orwellian Covid “misinformation” policy. We predicted in a now-classic piece (which Elon read) that the Regime would respond ruthlessly to such a provocation. Real free speech is simply too dangerous to be allowed, and any effort...

    The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) colluded with Google to auto-install contact-tracing spyware on the smartphones of over a million Massachusetts residents. Though this collusion is not authorized by any statutory law, Margret Cooke, Acting Commissioner/General Counsel for DPH asserted a public benefit justification. "The purpose of the spyware was to distinguish between citizens who were obeying our pandemic lockdown orders and those who were flouting them," Cooke said. "Since few owners of smart phones were voluntarily downloading the app that would allow us to track their movements we reached an agreement with Google to surreptitiously install the app...

    2016 ordeal over Wikileaks' DNC dump showed reporters that there's a simple and quick method for verifying emails' authenticity. By 2020, they forgot it. More than two years after the New York Post broke the news of crack addict-turned-first son Hunter Biden’s laptop, CBS News reported that the laptop is authentic — just days after the second election day in which it might have made a difference. CBS said it commissioned experts at a Minneapolis-based firm called Computer Forensics Services to evaluate the hard drive. It used a variety of digital techniques, but in the end, it leaned heavily on...

    www.dilbert.com has been down for over two days. So has the syndicate website gocomics.com. I believe that it is likely that Scott Adams' is targeted for cancellation because he is an effective voice against wokeness. He has been "cancelled" in 77 newspapers already, and his website may have been targeted for his content, in my opinion.

    The news surrounding Elon Musk and his takeover of Twitter seems to change by the hour. Last night, it was liberal journalists — but I repeat myself — with their hair on fire over what they thought was the impending shutdown of the site. A site, it should be noted, that they considered their personal sandbox before Elon came along and peed in it. Many Twitter Circles were formed so they could cry it out together; some channeled their inner teenage girl and dramatically announced their departure for other platforms … only to find those other platforms were laborious to...

    At his post-election press conference Wednesday President Biden was asked if he had concerns about Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. "I think that Elon Musk's cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at," he responded. "Look, we had a great relationship with Twitter before Musk butted in," the President said. "They were very compliant with our desire to censor erroneous information, ideas, and opinions. Trump was permanently banned. Questions about the covid vaccines were quickly stifled. Dissent from our policy on the war in Ukraine was suppressed. Musk has reneged on all of this. He...

    A Twitter engineering manager reportedly vomited into a trash can after being told to fire hundreds of people by one of Elon Musk’s advisers. The revelation came in a lengthy article from the New York Times on Musk’s first weeks as the owner of Twitter. "The fallout has often been excruciating, according to 36 current and former Twitter employees and people close to the company, as well as internal documents and workplace chat logs,” the Times report says. “Some top executives were summarily fired by email. One engineering manager, upon being told to cut hundreds of workers, vomited into a...

    I was browsing the November 2023 Costco savings booklet. I noticed a Bose SE 45 Quiet Comfort headphones on sale on Black Friday Weekend for $219. This seems like a decent discount from the prices I have seen at Amazon and similar sites. I have never owned a high-quality pair of headphones. I am not an audiophile. This would be what I am looking for: 1: Comfort: I would wear these multiple hours during the day at my desk. 2: Sturdiness: The reason I have not invested in good headphones is I tend to abuse them, or they were poorly...

    Elon Musk is having way too much fun being the head of Twitter now and he’s entertaining us all in the process.Some on the left have been throwing tantrums over his takeover as well as his proposal to charge $8 per month for verification with some extra perks such as fewer ads. Among the people throwing fits were people like Kathy Griffin who decided to get back at Musk by trying to impersonate him on the site. Sarah Silverman and Valerie Bertinelli were doing it as well but pulled back when Musk said he would enforce the current terms of...
