man, that had to hurt.

I worry

Trump is like a cornered cat about to lose everything

I think he is going to gamble and try again for a coup

He really should have been removed by now like when you fire someone you escort them out

There is really no reason concerts should not begin immediately for the vaccinated.

as long as vax'ed folks are OK paying $2,000 a ticket, sure!  because that's what a venue would need to charge, given how small the population of vax'ed people is.

there is also the issue of finding a band that has been 100% vax'ed.  indie musicians are pretty low on the vaccination priority list…

but please, carry on with your delusion.

The Rolling Stones @ The Anthem?

Teachers and other essential workers start getting the vaccine this weekend in Faifax County (I think.) 75+ has started. Bring back the geezer rock first with a senior/teacher/essential worker discount.

UPDATE: Jacob Chansley (AKA Jake Angeli or QAnon Shaman) will be fed organic food, in line with his strict shaman diet, while in federal custody. "We will abide by the judge's order," U.S. Marshal David Gonzales said.

I'm fine with this plan.

This is how easy it is not to incite terrorism

Isn't 170 kind of already in the hundreds?

DOJ has opened cases on 170 people already, "that number is, I expect, likely to grow into the hundreds." From assault on officers to theft to felony murder and civil rights.

I watched the presser and heard him say "70" not "170".

It’s going to be 500-1000

Serious jail time

this was scary

JUST IN:@FBI is still looking for who placed the pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC. Sherwin, "They were real devices. They had timers. We don't know why, exactly, they did not go off."

and this is kind of pathetically small for that
FBI says they have issued a $50,000 award for the ID of individual(s) who left the pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC.

Parler got owned. Badly. Whilst scrambling to keep operational as various server providers pulled Parler from their services the admins left open a security loophole that allowed hackers to create administration accounts. They used this to create MILLIONS of admin accounts and to start downloading all of the data that Parler had stored. Amongst this data, discussions planning to attack the US Capitol from verified users (with pictures of their drivers licences etc. ), GPS data, photos with EXIF data.

Not true.  It was even worse, like elementary school programming worse. per WIRED:

By Monday, rumors were circulating on Reddit and across social media that the mass disemboweling of Parler's data had been carried out by exploiting a security vulnerability in the site's two-factor authentication that allowed hackers to create "millions of accounts" with administrator privileges. The truth was far simpler: Parler lacked the most basic security measures that would have prevented the automated scraping of the site's data. It even ordered its posts by number in the site's URLs, so that anyone could have easily, programmatically downloaded the site's millions of posts.

Parler's cardinal security sin is known as an insecure direct object reference, says Kenneth White, codirector of the Open Crypto Audit Project, who looked at the code of the download tool @donk_enby posted online. An IDOR occurs when a hacker can simply guess the pattern an application uses to refer to its stored data. In this case, the posts on Parler were simply listed in chronological order: Increase a value in a Parler post url by one, and you'd get the next post that appeared on the site. Parler also doesn't require authentication to view public posts and doesn't use any sort of "rate limiting" that would cut off anyone accessing too many posts too quickly. Together with the IDOR issue, that meant that any hacker could write a simple script to reach out to Parler's web server and enumerate and download every message, photo, and video in the order they were posted.
