Tarnoff is no less appalled by the internet that we have now, but far more optimistic about the one we might have in the future – or could have had today, had different political choices been made. https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/book-of-the-day/2022/05/internet… REPOSTS definitely NOT endorsements

Nosebleed Liberals complain about anarchists carrying guns at this Arizona rally
by professor rat 21 May '22

21 May '22

Anarchists did not listen to these “non-violent” movement cops and at one point one with an umbrella started to physically grab an anarchist until another anarchist intervened to stop them. There were also a couple of incidents where a fascist put their hands on an anarchist. After a couple of hours, these liberal movement police told everyone the event was over and to go home. While anarchists and other radicals made repeated efforts to get the crowd into the street for a worthwhile direct action, those attempts failed. As usual, this abortion rally like all other rallies dominated by liberals was highly performative and lacked any real substance let alone teeth at actually changing anything. https://anarchistnews.org/content/phoenix-anarchists-mobilize-against-%E2%8… Reposts etc

Though fascinating, the Arpanet story excludes the everyday culture of personal computing and grassroots internetworking. In truth, the histories of Arpanet and BBS networks were interwoven—socially and materially—as ideas, technologies, and people flowed between them. https://www.wired.com/story/internet-origin-story-bbs/ Reposts not endorphins FOR MORE THAN two decades, dial-up bulletin board systems, or BBSs, were a primary form of popular networked computing in North America. The creators and maintainers of BBSs, known as system operators or “sysops,” stood at the forefront of computer-mediated communication, carving out a space between nationwide commercial services and subsidized university systems.

US Department of Justice will no longer prosecute 'good faith' hackers https://share.newsbreak.com/14ck46d7 "This means security researchers (aka hackers) who breach networks or find exploits in software and hardware will not be considered for federal prosecution so long as they were acting in good faith to promote the security and safety of the "target devices and services."

Railroaded in the Arid-Zone, Ginni-Gee needs her West Ginni Thomas didn’t merely text the Trump White House and urge it to overthrow the election, as previously reported. According to the Washington Post, it turns out Thomas went so far as to directly try to pressure multiple Arizona lawmakers into overthrowing the election results in their state. Ginni Thomas abused her position as the spouse of a Supreme Court Justice in a criminal effort to pressure elected officials into overthrowing the election. In fact it’s precisely the same crime that has Fulton County DA Fani Willis and her grand jury criminally targeting Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, and others.

We can only unite to form a global mind if we work together. Control of others produces resistance. Help everyone resist, and don't let anyone control. Do you have a personal AI yet? Does your community? Are you discussing how to use them best? Who is left without one?

We know that in between, the FBI called Cendyn, leading them to alter their DNS address, and the NYT called a representative for Alfa Bank which later — NYT believed, at least — led Alfa to alter their DNS address. The NYT believed that there was a response from Alfa that indicated they were trying to hide this activity. https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/05/20/brittain-shaws-privileged-attempt-to-… TL/DR Russiagate has plenty of meat on the bone & Nothingburger's are junk
