Imagine if the NY Times take from the beginning had been:
Biden’s lawyers find classified documents on his premises!
By immediately notifying the authorities, returning the documents, and inviting further searches, they create a political problem for Trump: Highlighting the contrast between the right and the wrong way to treat the discovery of classified documents. Trump’s indictment for obstruction now seems inevitable.

Lexmark has released a security firmware update to fix a severe vulnerability that could enable remote code execution (RCE) on more than 100 printer models.
Currently playing around with @elk which I saw someone (I forget who) recommend to me. In lieu of any "desktop Mastodon apps" for Linux yet, it's a nice alternative to the main Mastodon web ui (which is perfectly usable, I just like trying different things). So go check it out if you like @ elk.zone
This excellent post by @jamisonfoser about egregiously bad journalism by @peterbakernyt &co. is very much along the lines of what I would have written if I had the energy: https://findinggravity.substack.com/p/the-new-york-times-invents-a-biden

BREAKING: The system for handling classified info is BROKEN. Congress must fix it.
I’m introducing Defending Our Classified Secrets (DOCS) Act, which requires federal officials, within 30 days of leaving office, to certify under oath that they possess no classified documents.

@stevenbodzin @vernaf @parkermolloy we allow Russian propaganda to be played on our military bases as the main source of news (fox). Until dems acknowledge that is enemy propaganda and stop treating it like a legit news network, we are never gonna get to fixing our own sources of info. We limit “free speech” when it’s detrimental or threatening (yelling fire in a theater or threatening a life), it’s about time we acknowledge the harm fox is doing to us daily.

Perhaps Donald Trump attacking everyone who once supported him as he is facing imminent indictments is not the best idea, but please, proceed. https://youtu.be/QOjvdxWWi-k
The world's plutocrats -- including, sadly, the Biden administration on this issue -- are telling everyone to get back to normal re covid. But when they feel even slightly at risk, they pull out all the stops to ensure their own safety.
Their hypocrisy is transcendent, and countless more illnesses and deaths are on the way because of this. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/orwellian-white-house-covid-policy/?custno=
