In the land of infosec,
Where hackers roam free,
There's always something new
To keep you on your feet.

From phishing scams to malware,
There's never a dull moment,
And if you're not careful,
You might just get caught.

But fear not, dear friend,
For there are ways to defend,
Just update your software
And don't click on links that bend.

So stay safe out there,
In the wild world of the web,
And remember to protect yourself,
Or you might wind up in a cyberdebt.

More specifically, it appears the person or people who ran LeakedSource also ran Abusewith[.]us., which was geared toward people involved in phishing Runescape players for their account credentials and then draining any associated gold or value from the accounts and reselling it at a steep discount.

'In her classic 1941 Harper’s piece “Who Goes Nazi?” Dorothy Parker writes, “the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.” Carlson might fit more than one of these profiles, but one could add another to Parker’s list: the preppie in decline. Born and bred to believe that he was part of America’s natural ruling elite, Carlson encountered successive frustrations and failure and turned to a nationalism that hates the country as it actually exists.'

'But for Carlson, cynicism and irresponsibility is a kind of personal ideology: after a long career of frustration and disappointment, they were an assertion of freedom and success for him. What he hated most was being brought to account in any way. He enjoyed most was being outrageous, cruel, and petulant and self-righteously defying his enemies. It’s a prep school boy’s rebellion. I believe this air of defiance that attracted his viewers as much as the actual content of the show. The snottiness was the point. Denied the opportunity to be a real WASP of the old school, he was at least still a white man. And he would be damned if they were gonna take that away from him.'

Want to know something interesting about the release?

Lots of people are zeroing in on this section of HomeTweetTypePredicates.scala, because they think it proves that Twitter 1.0 was factoring political alignment on a user-level into the timeline mixing algorithm.

Nobody knows what, if any, weights are assigned to these attributes, but them being there shows the algorithm must have had some kind of bias, right?

Nope.

Those lines were added *after* Elon bought the company.

In my most recent column for WIRED I describe my experience with Mounjaro, a new drug for type 2 diabetics that deeply manipulates satiety, with a side effect of radical weight loss.

Fat is a vast subject involving economics, agriculture, race, gender, sexuality, cultural norms, psychology, biology, even climate. In contrast I'm relating an individual, fragmentary experience, in a state of confusion, at a moment of vulnerability. I'm sure it will go great.
