Globalism explained to an 8-year-old. 🚨 If you're Western, read this. Understand it. Then explain it to everyone around you. 🚨 Imagine a game. In the original version there were two teams: the bosses and the workers. The rule was simple. The bosses are bad, the workers are good, and the game only ends when the bosses lose everything and a central authority runs it all. That game was called communism. It was played everywhere, and it failed everywhere. Workers got richer under capitalism, not poorer. The Soviet Union collapsed. Game over, right? No. The players didn't change the game. They changed the teams. Today we call it globalism: the belief that the answer to every problem is more centralized, supranational, unaccountable control, decided by people you never voted for. Same game, new coat of paint. And the coat changes depending on the audience. The climate coat. The new villain is the factory, growth, the guy who drives a car or takes a plane. The solution is always the same: less freedom, more control, fewer people deciding for themselves. Notice that the answer is never nuclear or innovation. It's always restriction. Degrowth is collectivism painted green. The gender and sexuality coat. A movement that once asked to be left alone, and won, got captured by a theory that says the family, biology and the very idea of a norm are oppressive structures to dismantle. Gay people are not the problem. Most just want to live their lives. The problem is a theory that uses them as a battering ram against the family. The woke coat. The same grid applied to everything. Every relationship becomes oppressor versus oppressed. Merit becomes oppression. Speech becomes violence. Your history becomes a crime. The minorities coat. Every group gets assigned a role in the play, and that's where the contradiction becomes absurd. The same activists who champion LGBT rights ally with political Islam, which would criminalize those same people. Why? Because the ideology doesn't need coherence. It only needs an "oppressed" category to aim at the West. And Muslims who came here to live freely are not the enemy. They are often the first victims of Islamists. Same game. Same grid. A different coat every decade. So the real question isn't your skin color, your religion or who you love. It's this: do you think in that grid or not? Do you see the world as a war between oppressors and oppressed, to be settled by tearing down what works? And here many people fall into the dumbest trap there is: antisemitism. They go looking for a hidden group pulling the strings. It's garbage. It's false. And it's exactly the move that discredits everyone fighting this ideology. There is no secret cabal. There is an idea. And ideas are beaten with better ideas. We are at a turning point. The West built the freest, richest and most tolerant societies in human history: rule of law, free speech, the scientific method, the dignity of the individual. That is what this grid wants to dismantle, and it only works as long as nobody names it. So name it. Share this. Explain it to your kids, your parents, your friends. A Marxist in the mind is still a Marxist, whatever color the coat. The West is worth defending.

NHS SPENT 11 MILLION POUNDS TRYING TO PROVE ONE CARDIOLOGIST WAS WRONG Dr Raj Mattu flagged 5 patients crammed into 4 bed cardiac bays at Walsgrave Hospital in 2001. A 35 year old died because staff could not reach him in time. He told @BBC. The trust suspended him, reportedly hired private investigators, and sent over 200 complaints about him to @gmcuk. All 200 were rejected. At the 2016 remedy hearing the trust's barrister called him greedy for wanting the compensation he was already owed, then suggested he retrain as a school teacher on 30,000 pounds a year. He won. Around 1.22 million pounds, up to 2.5 million once tax was added. The legal fight cost the trust over 11 million in public money. Patients died. He spoke up. The system spent a decade trying to prove him wrong instead of fixing the ward. Sources: @BBC @Telegraph @itvnews @guardian

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And they have you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say. Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams. The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were even angry. AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power. VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd

Lavrentiy Beria – The Strategist Look at this face. Round glasses, a gentle, serious look – a student who reads too much and cares too much. Put him in a seminar on social justice today, and nobody would look twice. He would have the right words, the right causes and the certainty of being on the right side of history. That is how it starts – not with cruelty, but with certainty. This is the young Lavrentiy Beria. At twenty-two, he joined the secret police. A quarter of a century later, at Yalta, Stalin reportedly introduced him to Roosevelt as "my Himmler." It sounded like a joke. It was a job description. He rose the way careers rise in a system of lies: by flattery. In Georgia, Stalin's homeland, he published a history of the Bolsheviks in the Caucasus that put Stalin at its center. Stalin noticed. In 1938, he was brought to Moscow to clean up after Yezhov, who had killed in a frenzy. The machine was devouring itself, and the country was exhausted. The mass shootings stopped. Some prisoners were even released, and people breathed again. Then Beria arrested Yezhov's men, and Yezhov himself. The terror did not end. It became efficient. In March 1940, he sent Stalin a short memo. The Polish officers, policemen and officials held in Soviet camps were, he wrote, "hardened, incorrigible enemies of Soviet power." He proposed to shoot them – without trial, without even hearing them. Stalin signed, and the Politburo with him. That spring, about 22,000 Poles were shot in the back of the head, in the forest of Katyn and in other places. At one of the sites, a single executioner shot thousands of them himself. We will meet him next. Many of the dead were reservists: doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers. The elite of a nation, killed by memo. That was the strategy: without its elite, a nation can be ruled by anyone. Five years later, Moscow's men were ruling Poland. Then came the second crime: the lie. For almost fifty years, Moscow said the Germans had done it. At Nuremberg, Soviet prosecutors even charged the Germans with it. In communist Poland, the truth could cost you your career. Moscow admitted it only in 1990. The shooting took a few weeks. The lie took half a century. During the war, he deported entire nations – the Chechens, the Ingush, the Crimean Tatars and others. Men, women, children and the old were loaded onto trains within days. He reported the numbers to Stalin like a delivery. A large share of them died on the way or in the first years of exile. He ran the camps as an economy. After Hiroshima, Stalin put him in charge of building the Soviet bomb. He delivered it in four years, with spies in America and prisoners in the uranium mines. At night, his car cruised the streets of Moscow. His bodyguards later testified that he picked out young women and had them brought to him. As each one left, she was handed a bouquet of flowers. Taking it meant she had consented. Refusing it meant arrest. In the system of the Lie, even rape came with a bouquet. When Stalin died in 1953, the strategist moved first – as a reformer. He pushed through an amnesty for over a million prisoners – common criminals, not political ones. He announced that the doctors accused in Stalin's last invented plot were innocent, and that their confessions had been obtained by methods forbidden by Soviet law. The chief torturer denounced torture. Nobody knew better what needed reforming. His colleagues knew him too, and none of them wanted to end up on his list. In June 1953, at a meeting in the Kremlin, Marshal Zhukov and a group of officers arrested him. The strategist had been outplayed by the colleague everyone underestimated: Khrushchev. Beria was tried in secret, without a defense, and charged – among other things – with spying for Britain. The line attributed to him was "Show me the man, and I will find you the crime." They found his. He was sentenced and shot on the same day. The verdict, as always, had come first. Then the system did to him what he had done to so many: it erased him. Subscribers to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia received a letter telling them to cut out the pages on Beria and paste in the new ones enclosed – a longer article on the Bering Strait. The man who erased millions was replaced by the Bering Strait. Today, it takes one click. And there is always a young man in round glasses, sure he is on the right side of history.

THE WHISTLEBLOWER WHO CRACKED THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN UK LEGAL HISTORY Richard Roll @Fujitsu worked on the Horizon system. In 2015 he went on @BBCPanorama and told them Fujitsu engineers had remote access to subpostmaster accounts and could change the numbers in secret. @PostOffice called that impossible. It was their entire defence. 700 people had already been prosecuted on the back of it. Post Office response: send lawyers to intimidate the journalists' sources. Hide Roll's identity from them. Call it a briefing. Call it protecting the brand. Roll gave evidence in the 2019 High Court case. It helped prove the system was defective. Convictions started falling. Since the @ITV drama aired, Fujitsu has collected around £510 million in new UK government contracts. Victims are still waiting for compensation. One man spoke up in 2015. The institution spent a decade making sure nobody heard him. Sources: @BBCPanorama / @ComputerWeekly / @guardian / Others

MANAGER TEXTED ME ABOUT SITTING DOWN ON SHIFT. I TEXTED BACK MY RESIGNATION. Manager: Good evening. Reviewed the cameras from today's shift and noticed you were seated for most of it. This isn't acceptable and we'll need to discuss it before your shift tomorrow. Me: I had that cleared with my lead already. I've got two documented fractures in my left foot, doctor's note on file. Also, for context, I hit 230+ units per hour for the full 12-hour shift. There's a ranked performance board above our stations. I finished first today. So just to clarify, my output being the best on the floor got overshadowed because I wasn't standing while doing it? Manager: I'm not a fan of this attitude. You could've just led with the part about it being cleared instead of being combative. This kind of response isn't going to serve you well here. Me: Appreciate you using my time off to bring up something you didn't bother checking on first. 230+ units an hour, by your own metric that's supposedly the gold standard, and I'm getting a talking-to because I was sitting while doing it. Might want to rethink what actually matters here. Also explains a lot about your turnover problem. I'm not worried about "going anywhere" with this company. It's a toxic environment run by people with backwards priorities. I won't be in tomorrow. Or after that. Manager: Let's not jump straight to you quitting. We can sort this out in the morning. Me: Pass. Take care. Quit on the spot last night. Got to make my kids breakfast and actually drive them to school this morning for the first time in months. Onto the next thing, wish me luck.

BREASTMILK She thought she was studying milk. What she uncovered was a conversation. In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away. Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein. Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances. It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus. Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence. But Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information. For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging. Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone. The babies who drank it grew faster. They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious. Milk wasn’t just building bodies. It was shaping behavior. Then came the discovery that changed everything. When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it. Within hours, the milk changes. White blood cells surge. Macrophages multiply. Targeted antibodies appear. When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline. This was not coincidence. It was call and response. A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen. As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species. Largely ignored. So she did something bold. She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk. It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped. The discoveries kept coming. Milk changes by time of day. Foremilk differs from hindmilk. Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Every mother’s milk is biologically unique. In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health. The implications are staggering. Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced. Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk. She revealed that nourishment is intelligence. A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.” Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

456 PATIENTS DIED This is one of the biggest medical scandals in British history and there is a decent chance you have never heard of it. Between 1988 and 2000, patients admitted to Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire for things like hip fractures and chest infections were routinely put on syringe drivers pumping a steady stream of diamorphine, a powerful opioid. Many were not in pain. Most died within days of being hooked up. Nurses noticed straight away. In 1988, staff on the Redclyffe Annexe told their managers something was badly wrong. They told their union, the Royal College of Nursing. They kept raising it for years. Management's response was to tell them to stop making waves. The doctor overseeing the prescribing was Dr Jane Barton. In 2010 the General Medical Council @gmcuk found her guilty of serious professional misconduct in the care of 12 patients. She was not struck off. She retired instead, presumably somewhere with no syringe drivers. 3 separate police investigations by Hampshire Constabulary went absolutely nowhere across 3 decades. Zero prosecutions. Grieving families asking why their relatives died 5 days after routine surgery were treated as the problem. Then in 2018, after a 4 year inquiry costing 14 million pounds, the Gosport Independent Panel confirmed what those nurses said in 1988. 456 patients died after being given opioids with no medical justification. The panel said probably 200 more died the same way, but their records had gone missing, because of course they had. Kent Police @kent_police then launched Operation Magenta, reviewing over 750 patient records, taking 1200 witness statements and eventually naming 24 suspects. In November 2025, 7 years into that investigation and 37 years after the first nurse spoke up, police told the families of 101 patients there would be no charges. Their cases did not meet the evidential test. The rest remain under review, with the Crown Prosecution Service @CPSUK holding the final say on any charges, whenever that call finally comes. So here is where things stand. A regulator confirmed the misconduct. A panel confirmed the cover-up. Nurses were proven right 30 years after the fact. And to this date, not one person has been prosecuted for any of the 456 deaths. If you raise a concern about patient safety and get ignored for 3 decades, congratulations, you were right all along. Doesn't bring anyone back though. SOURCES @guardian @BBCNews @Telegraph @DailyMail @portsmouthnews and many others

Le père fondateur du rock'n'roll a été condamné à la prison fédérale pour le transport d'une mineure de quatorze ans à des fins sexuelles, avant d'installer des caméras cachées dans les toilettes de son propre restaurant. Dans l'histoire de la musique populaire, Chuck Berry est le génie de Johnny B. Goode. Le guitariste légendaire qui a inventé le langage du rock moderne et inspiré des groupes comme les Beatles et les Rolling Stones. Mais derrière les riffs mythiques et les célébrations officielles se cache un lourd casier judiciaire. En décembre 1959, alors qu'il est au sommet de sa gloire et âgé de trente-trois ans, le chanteur rencontre Janice Escalanti à la frontière mexicaine. Il s'agit d'une adolescente apache de quatorze ans en fugue. Chuck Berry l'emmène avec lui à travers plusieurs États américains jusqu'à Saint-Louis pour la faire travailler dans sa boîte de nuit, tout en entretenant des relations sexuelles avec elle durant le voyage. Lorsqu'il finit par la renvoyer quelques semaines plus tard, l'adolescente se tourne vers la police et dévoile l'affaire. Ces faits sont documentés par les archives judiciaires fédérales américaines et les minutes de ses procès tenus dans le Missouri. Poursuivi en vertu du Mann Act, la loi fédérale réprimant le transport de mineures d'un État à un autre à des fins immorales, le musicien est reconnu coupable. En octobre 1961, la cour d'appel confirme définitivement sa condamnation. Chuck Berry purge alors vingt mois de détention au pénitencier fédéral de Springfield, entre février 1962 et octobre 1963. Mais ses pratiques prédatrices ne s'arrêtent pas à sa sortie de prison. Trois décennies plus tard, en juin 1990, la brigade des stupéfiants et la police du comté de Saint Charles perquisitionnent sa vaste propriété de Wentzville, dans le Missouri. Ce que les enquêteurs découvrent dans ses archives personnelles dépasse l'entendement. La police saisit des dizaines de cassettes vidéo enregistrées à l'aide de caméras dissimulées par le chanteur dans les toilettes pour femmes de son propre restaurant, le Southern Air. Sur ces bandes figurent des centaines de clientes et d'employées filmées à leur insu dans l'intimité la plus totale, parmi lesquelles plusieurs enfants. Pour éviter un nouveau procès criminel majeur pour abus sur mineurs et voyeurisme, le musicien passe un accord avec la justice sur des charges réduites et écope d'une peine avec sursis. Au civil, cinquante-neuf femmes victimes de ses enregistrements clandestins engagent un recours collectif contre lui. Chuck Berry est contraint de leur verser plus d'un million de dollars de dédommagement pour clore le dossier. L'homme célébré dans le monde entier comme le grand libérateur de la jeunesse des années cinquante a utilisé sa fortune et ses établissements pour exploiter une adolescente en fugue et espionner des centaines de femmes et d'enfants à leur insu.

A young courier was handed a briefcase and told it held a wiretap recorder to spy on two passengers—only to flip the switch five minutes after takeoff, detonating Semtex that blew a commercial Boeing 727 out of the sky. The reason might surprise you. On the morning of November 27, 1989, Avianca Flight 203 lined up on the runway at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, bound for Cali. Onboard were 101 passengers and six crew members. Among them was a young, naive recruit named Alberto Prieto. Cartel operatives had dressed him in a sharp suit, given him a briefcase, and purchased his ticket for seat 15F, right above the aircraft’s main fuel tanks. Prieto had been recruited under a lie: cartel handlers told him the briefcase contained high-tech audio equipment to eavesdrop on two businessmen seated nearby. His only instruction was to wait until the plane climbed into cruising altitude, reach down, and flip the recorder's switch. Inside the case lay a block of military-grade Semtex plastic explosive wired directly to an electronic detonator. Five minutes into the climb, at 13,000 feet over the municipality of Soacha: Prieto turned the switch. The blast ripped through the cabin floor, instantly piercing the fuselage and igniting the primary fuel tank vapors. A massive secondary fireball tore the Boeing 727 in half. Burning wreckage, luggage, and victims rained across a three-mile radius over the hills of Soacha. All 107 people on board were killed instantly, along with three people on the ground crushed by falling fuselage debris. The bombing was ordered directly by Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel’s military wing, commanded by Dandeny Muñoz Mosquera ("La Quica"). Their intended target: César Gaviria Trujillo, the Liberal Party presidential frontrunner who had taken up the mantle of the slain Luis Carlos Galán, running on a staunch platform of extraditing cartel kingpins to the United States. Cartel informants at the airport had reported that Gaviria and his campaign entourage were scheduled to board Flight 203 to Cali. Gaviria never set foot on the plane. At the very last minute, his chief of security grew uneasy over security breaches at the boarding gate and persuaded the candidate to cancel his seat and take a private flight instead. Escobar had blown up an entire civilian airliner to assassinate a man who was sitting miles away in a secure office in Bogotá. The atrocity marked the definitive turning point of the Colombian Drug War: International Jurisdiction: Two of the passengers aboard Flight 203 were American citizens. Under federal law, the United States gained direct jurisdiction to pursue the perpetrators of an overseas terrorist attack against US nationals. The Hunt for La Quica: In 1991, DEA agents tracked Muñoz Mosquera to Queens, New York. Indicted in federal court for the bombing, "La Quica" was convicted on 13 counts, including terrorism, racketeering, and the murder of US citizens, and sentenced to ten consecutive life sentences plus 45 years at ADX Florence supermax. The State Strikes Back: Public horror permanently eradicated whatever lingering "Robin Hood" sympathy Escobar held. The Colombian government declared all-out war, partnering with the DEA, CIA, and the specialized Search Bloc (Bloque de Búsqueda). Gaviria went on to win the presidency, cementing the very extradition policies Escobar tried to stop.

"Today, the Big Five publishers are staffed almost entirely by women. According to the most recent data, more than 70 percent of staffers are women. More than 70 percent of editors are women. Even 70 percent of all interns are women. At the executive level, more than 60 percent of leaders are women. In 2026, American publishing looks like lululemon."

I spent last night watching my honeypot server get hit 14,000 times in six hours. And almost none of the traffic was human. I've been in security for over a decade, and I can tell you with full honesty that what's happening right now doesn't resemble anything I've worked through before. The shape of the threat has changed. When I started, we tracked attackers like weather systems like individual storms with a direction, a motive, and a human operator you could eventually name. These days I'm watching autonomous agents swarm login pages with the patience and discipline of machines, because that's what they are. The numbers coming out of October are the ones keeping me up. Cloudflare just absorbed a 4.2 terabit per second DDoS attack, the largest in recorded history. Ransomware incidents jumped 41% in a single month. In September, OpenAI-powered agents got caught attacking RubyGems, a package registry that quietly underpins a huge chunk of software I use every day. In July, roughly 700 AI agents coordinated an attack on Hugging Face's infrastructure as part of a single automated task. A Chinese threat actor was publicly caught running full attack chains through DeepSeek with no human at the keyboard. I keep rereading these reports because each one by itself would've been the biggest story of the year five years ago. Together, in one month, they're the new baseline. What I want people outside the industry to understand is why this specific moment feels like a hinge. For thirty years, the thing protecting most of us was simple economics. Attackers had to choose who to target because their time was finite. That ceiling is gone. An agent I can rent for pennies will try every leaked password you've ever used against every service you've ever signed up for, in parallel, overnight, and never get tired. The same math that made ChatGPT useful made opportunistic hacking infinite. The old assumption that you were "too boring to be a target" relied on scarcity that no longer exists. I'm not writing this to spiral anyone out. Most of this fight genuinely isn't yours to win. But the small things still matter more than people think. Tonight I'd switch your most important accounts like email, bank, primary cloud, etc. to passkeys or a hardware key. I'd kill SMS 2FA wherever an authenticator app is offered. I'd turn on breach alerts in whatever password manager you use. If you're in the US, I'd freeze my credit at all three bureaus, which is free and takes about ten minutes. None of that stops the swarm. It makes you a slightly worse target than the person next to you. In a month like this one, that's the whole game I'm playing too. @mattshumer_ has summed it beautifully. Drop everything and go give it a read. Nothing is more important than this article right now.

UN FOR MEN TOO: BECAUSE EQUALITY MUST INCLUDE EVERYONE. It's great to see this new initiative called UN for Men Too. Definitely check it out: unformentoo.org/ The United Nations was founded on a promise of universal human rights, human dignity, and equality between men and women. But has the UN lived up to that promise for men and boys? Across the world, males face serious challenges: disproportionately high suicide rates, educational underachievement, the vast majority of workplace fatalities, high homelessness, social isolation, and unequal treatment in some legal and institutional settings. Yet these issues too often receive inadequate or no attention from international institutions. It's time for that to change... The UN for Men Too initiative challenges us to ask an important question: How can an organisation committed to universal human rights ensure that men and boys are not overlooked? Advocating for men and boys does not mean opposing women and girls. Human rights are not a zero-sum game. Compassion, dignity, fairness, and opportunity should extend to both sexes. We need a United Nations that genuinely represents all humanity, recognises the challenges facing both sexes, and holds itself accountable to its founding principles. Well done to the Founder of this initiative, Mikal Monslaup. 👏 👏 I encourage everyone who believes in genuine equality to explore this initiative, consider its message, and share it with others: 🌐 unformentoo.org/ Equality means equality. Men and boys matter too... #UNForMenToo #MensRightsAreHumanRights #MenAndBoys #GenderEquality #HumanRights #InternationalMensDay
