GOODBYE.
how could you leave out the most obvious
THIS POST IS RAELLY PISSIN ME OFF LKFADGJDGIO
How have I been so blind
donāt know if anyone else has added this butā¦
how can you miss the most obvious comparison
holy shit
how could you leave out eggman
What the absolute shit
Wake up America
OH GOOD LORD
TL;DR on the latest round of Wikileaks:
Literally nothing you do is safe from the CIA. There are numerous full-on spyware suites developed by them, mostly for iOS and Windows, but also targeting Android, Linux, OS X, and Solaris. Apps thought to be secure (Telegram with encryption enabled, WhatsApp, Signal) were compromised as well, as were a host of other devices (ie smart TVs).
THIS DOES NOT PERTAIN ONLY TO AMERICANS.
If you live in a Shengen area country, your country likely hosts several CIA backed cyberwar experts. They came in via the US consulate in Frankfurt. If you donāt, you likely do as well, but I canāt find anything without sifting through the files myself.
āI have nothing to hide, why does this matter?ā: Because there are now multiple thousandĀ āzero hourā- ie ādevelopers get zero hours to fixā- vulnerabilities floating around that no one had any idea existed. The vulnerabilities themselves werenāt leaked, but itās the fact that someone knew about these and didnāt say.
I hate to make this kinda clickbait-y thing, but this is honest to God one of the most important leaks in history. Our response to this is pretty much going to be life or death for privacy in the developed world.Ā Be loud about this, be annoying about this, and do not shut up about this. Please reblog this and other posts relating to it.
Not just any someone, this is one of the U.S. federal governmentās foremost intelligence agencies, the CIA, which even mainstream media has reported operates on a black (off the record) budget, infamous for handing over āfullā reports that are almost entirely redacted.
Itās a wonder that anyone out there could believe they are not the subject of surveillanceāeveryone has something to hide.

And this leak shows that the CIA has all of these technologies and proliferates them to other entities who want this information all the time. You need your privacy to protect yourself and your information. If you have nothing to hide, you have plenty to hide:
The line āif youāve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry aboutā is used all too often in defending surveillance overreach. Itās been debunked countless times in the past, but with the line being trotted out frequently in response to the NSA revelations, itās time for yet another debunking, and there are two good ones that were recently published. First up, weāve got Moxie Marlinspike at Wired, who points out that, youāre wrong if you think youāve got nothing to hide, because our criminal laws are so crazy, that anyone sifting through your data would likely be able to pin quite a few crimes on you if they just wanted to.
Julian Sanchez points out:
Some of the potentially sensitive facts those records expose becomes obvious after giving it some thought: Who has called a substance abuse counselor, a suicide hotline, a divorce lawyer or an abortion provider? What websites do you read daily? What porn turns you on? What religious and political groups are you a member of? Some are less obvious. Because your cellphoneās ārouting informationā typically includes information about the nearest cell tower, those records are also a kind of virtual map showing where you spend your time ā and, when aggregated with others, who you like to spend it with.
We simply cannot possibly know when something is going to incriminate us and the State is not above scapegoating individuals or coercing them into submission. James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and former defense attorney, notes:
Estimates of the current size of the body of federal criminal law vary. It has been reported that the Congressional Research Service cannot even count the current number of federal crimes. These laws are scattered in over 50 titles of the United States Code, encompassing roughly 27,000 pages. Worse yet, the statutory code sections often incorporate, by reference, the provisions and sanctions of administrative regulations promulgated by various regulatory agencies under congressional authorization. Estimates of how many such regulations exist are even less well settled, but the ABA thinks there are ānearly 10,000.ā
Supreme Court Justice Breyer elaborates:
The complexity of modern federal criminal law, codified in several thousand sections of the United States Code and the virtually infinite variety of factual circumstances that might trigger an investigation into a possible violation of the law, make it difficult for anyone to know, in advance, just when a particular set of statements might later appear (to a prosecutor) to be relevant to some such investigation.
Not just the State, but anyone could draw suspicion against you if they had the right information with the right circumstances. We are entitled to our privacy, and these institutions must be held to account.
Reblogging because the links in the bulleted list were broken, as someone brought to my attention.
This is Scooby-Doo in a nutshell right here, folks.
So, these three are investigating an abandoned sawmill, because of course they are.
Shaggy stands in his designated Totally Unsuspicious Floor Square thatās utterly indistinguishable from the rest of the floor.
Trust me. It just is.
They talk for a bitā¦ Scooby makes this faceā¦
ā¦and Velma is inevitably grabbed by a ghost yeti.
ā¦additionally, I should note thatĀ being grabbed by a ghost yeti makes her hat change colors.
Next, Shaggy falls through the floor, because OMIGOSH IT WAS ACTUALLY A TRAPDOOR CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?
ā¦though, to be fair, I guess anything is possible in Scooby-Dooā¦
Ā ā¦after all,Ā an entire new wall snuck up behind them between shots.
I freakinā love this show.
This popped up in my activity feed again, and I giggled.Ā
A lot.

The fact that we can accidentally bite the insides of our cheeks has to be the biggest design flaw of the human body.
NO SORRY ITāS THE FACT THAT OUR TRACHEA AND ESOPHAGUS CROSS AND BRIEFLY OCCUPY THE SAME HOLE DOLPHINS DONāT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
WE ONLY GET ONE SET OF ADULT TEETH THAT ARE DESIGNED TO LAST MAYBE HALF OUR EXPECTED LIFESPAN
OUR LOWER BACKS ARE STRUCTURALLY FUCKEDĀ FROM MAKING A SHITTY TRANSITION TO BEING BIPEDS
INTELLIGENT DESIGN MY ASS, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST WEāRE NOT HORSES
āIn conclusion, the humans were extremely angry until they saw the horse, and then thoughtĀ āWell, that bastardās got it rough, this aināt so badāā

Memes for days
For many wealthy and powerful people on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, the future of technology is really about just one thing: escape.
Last year, I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech to what I assumed would be a hundred or so investment bankers.
ā¦
After I arrived, I was ushered into what I thought was the green room. But instead of being wired with a microphone or taken to a stage, I just sat there at a plain round table as my audience was brought to me: five super-wealthy guys ā yes, all men ā from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology.Ā
They had come with questions of their own.They started out innocuously enough. Ethereum or bitcoin? Is quantum computing a real thing? Slowly but surely, however, they edged into their real topics of concern.Which region will be less impacted by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? Is Google really building Ray Kurzweil a home for his brain, and will his consciousness live through the transition, or will it die and be reborn as a whole new one? Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, āHow do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?ā
rich people are fucking terrifying
I know this commentary points out that ārich people are fucking terrifyingā but I think thatās really shallow in that terror just doesnāt even begin to describe whatās happening here (and whatās been going on).
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers ā if that technology could be developed in time.
Itās so much more than being terrifying; it really goes beyond their actions as instilling terror in our hearts by virtue of their wanton disregard for human life. These meetings, and these glimpses into the lives of the elite in general, paint a world which truly is detached from our own. Theyāre not just having their discussions because theyāre eccentric or because they want to āescapeā from us and our lifestyle.
Thereās nothing wrong with madly optimistic appraisals of how technology might benefit human society. But the current drive for a post-human utopia is something else. Itās less a vision for the wholesale migration of humanity to a new a state of being than a quest to transcend all that is human: the body, interdependence, compassion, vulnerability, and complexity. As technology philosophers have been pointing out for years, now, the transhumanist vision too easily reduces all of reality to data, concluding that āhumans are nothing but information-processing objects.ā
Itās because they see the writing on the walls about what they describe as āthe Eventā, and theyāre trying to inherit what comes next. They are trying to position themselves so that in the next big economic crash, or the next huge terrorist attackāwhatever the paradigm shiftātheyāll be poised to lord over what remains.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Lettersā¦ S.T..R ā¦ My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingridās husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some donāt die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read thisā¦ STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a strokeā¦totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the ā3ā steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questionsĀ : S * Ask the individual to SMILE .. T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg āIt is sunny out todayā). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTEĀ : Another āsignā of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to āstickā out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is ācrookedā, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. And it could be your own.
First reblog post that actually saves a life.
This is a life-saving post.
