Or this not only serves the narrative but is also pre-emptive: they already know some even worse shit will go down very soon - because they will be responsible for it.

‘cartel threats’ is a lie.

Agreed. The phrasing was they had to move “citing danger from criminals, adversaries overseas and protesters”. The placement of the “overseas” qualifier strikes me as deliberate; I think plenty domestic adversaries are ready to take action, and I for one would not call them criminals. In that I guess I disagree that “perpetrators are always maga”.

Always throwing protesters in with criminals is another thing that really sucks about this rhetoric.

Noem! Dropped like a hot potato she is deep in the finding out stage now.

… took me a while to realize you mean Hegseth. These are all rather big names.

According to the article above they did it “citing danger from criminals, adversaries overseas and protesters”. No adversaries at home? Only criminals and protesters?

The current MAGA admin have been fucking around for over a year - now they are entering the finding out phase.

I haven’t seen such verbosity in his xheets for years, which adds to the impression that it’s fake.

This Leopard Is Eating His Own Face

I hope they both lose.

“The lefties are brigading again! It’s all fake data! People love my platform and its ads!”

So if I use the service I’m helping to ddos that blog?

Yes. Every time.

is there a way to block thar with ublock eg

There might be ways to circumvent the DDOS but imo this service has lost all credibility.

A DMCA takedown, huh? Sounds a lot like what they did with Youtube-dl a few years ago. And ultimately lost. Both youtube-dl and yt-dlp are still (again) on github.

Let me guess: they’re really sorry.

I cannot fathom why such data breaches aren’t prosecuted as crimes of the company as well as the thieves.

This doesn’t happen because the hackers struck like a force of nature, but because the servers aren’t kept secure constantly. Because that would be more expensive.

It’s like a car company getting sued for making insecure cars. It’s not hard to wrap your head around.

That’s just a question of money.

100% passion fruit juice? I shudder.

I don’t know how the law is where you are, but around here there’s a clear and simple word for 100% juice. But we also have the “juice drink”. It’s a little sad because people who don’t bother with such things will fall for it over and over. But once you know the verbiage it’s simple enough.

What really fucks me up is how little juice there is in it, and how much fructose syrup. 😡 It’s possible to produce affordable drinks that don’t add any sugar. Apple or grape juice concentrate is cheap.

it would be waaay too concentrated

100% is 100%. But yeah, you probably wouldn’t like the taste.

It’s sad, because this article is paywalled hard, but archive.today and archive.ph (also .is, .md, .fo, .li, .vn) are DDOSing a blogger who investigated them. They could also be Russian assets (js from mail[.]ru).

This is from their CAPTCHA page, meaning every visitor executes that scriptlet at least once:

I obfuscated the bloggers domain because I think they have enough trouble as it is, but it isn’t hard to find.

Reminds me I didn’t have any for a while. I should make an effort.

Fair enough. That was part of the point.

/s

I even made it bold for people like you.

The way that mayor displays empathy for car drivers and very obviously none for cyclists is really something. I won’t even go into details, his arguments are all shit.

Also, I bet they were complaining like hell about how expensive it was when it was built: $4million! And now it costs 3million to remove. As they say, the cruelty is the point.

Well, your’s isn’t thinly veiled.

Seriously though, a comm with such an open-ended theme will always attract stuff like this. You have choices.

Also, isn’t a shower curtain a sort of thin veil, too?
