Virginia State SealEvery time I think this country can’t get stupider, by heavens! it goes and proves me wrong. (Additional stupid at the link.)

A school district in Texas has removed information about Virginia from its online learning platform because of the exposed breast on the commonwealth’s flag and seal.

Words fail me.

The stupid. It burns.

One more time, “social” media isn’t.

Indeed, it incubates idiots and nurtures nutbags.

Daniel Ruth contends that we’ve seen this show before. Here’s one of the examples he cites; follow the link for the rest.

Foreign aid gets the boot. Public health is gasping for air. And don’t think of visiting a national park. Meanwhile, the Blofeld of Bedminster strokes his pet Big Mac and orders his own personal James Bond-like Le Chiffre to fire another 100,000 people just for the fun of it.

Signal Achievements, Reprise 0

Security expert Bruce Schneier takes a deep dive in signalgate and its implications. In the light of recent events, the whole thing is worth a read. Here’s a tiny little bit.

Smartphones present a similar trade-off. The biggest risk of eavesdropping on a Signal conversation comes from the individual phones that the app is running on. While it’s largely unclear whether the US officials involved had downloaded the app onto personal or government-issued phones—although Witkoff suggested on X that the program was on his “personal devices”—smartphones are consumer devices, not at all suitable for classified US government conversations. An entire industry of spyware companies sells capabilities to remotely hack smartphones for any country willing to pay.

Yeah. Right.
