Raw Story:
George Conway reveals why 'nihilist' Republicans have turned 'anti-American'
George Conway diagnosed the underlying problem that's causing Republicans to undermine military readiness...
"They hate the United States military because it's a part of the United States government," Conway said. "This is basically, the Republicans have become anti-American, anti-government, anti-the United States. That's their shtick now.

@Nonya_Bidniss A good example of why we shouldn't elect stupid people to lead us.
@keraba What sort of differences are you interested in?

Small scoop here: In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

From the story:
"...the researchers learned the attackers frequently grouped together victims by sending their cryptocurrencies to the same destination crypto wallet.
By identifying points of overlap in these destination addresses, the researchers were then able to track down and interview new victims. For example, the researchers said their methodology identified a recent multi-million dollar crypto heist victim as an employee at Chainalysis, a blockchain analysis firm that works closely with law enforcement agencies to help track down cybercriminals and money launderers.
Chainalysis confirmed that the employee had suffered a high-dollar cryptocurrency heist late last month, but otherwise declined to comment for this story."

@ericschutte @georgetakei No, no. That doesn't permit the incumbent party to manipulate the outcome. Both parties do it. The minority party just suffers through it until the pendulum swings and they become the majority party. Then they do it. So neither party wants to take it away.
@rtushnet Ah yes, hiding behind children is the refuge of the scoundrel as she panders to the ignorant.

Elon Musk is suing the Anti-Defamation League for defamation. The organization which combats hate speech against Jewish people has documented an increase in anti-semitism on the X platform. The Messenger has more on Musk's response.

@JonChevreau Hmm. Getting a Service Not Available error. Server must be overloaded.
However, yeah, TFG thinks of himself as royalty so all the little people owe him because he allows them to live.
@TruthSandwich I'll try that trick. I'd rather have a half cup of acceptable coffee than a whole cup of tan colored water. And I'll check out YouTube. TY.
@TruthSandwich Good point, and I guess that's the answer. Hard to get around the physics of it. A full K-cup is about half my standard measure when making drip coffee.
@dbdc4dc6031900bb2cbce65958f468fb2af3c4251e5a2c84f4e93836522686fb Hah. I doubt that #FP is a very popular tag. Not worth spamming.

All those loudmouths who claim weather events are God’s wrath against sinners sure have been quiet about that tree literally falling on Ron DeSantis’ house.
@TruthSandwich Absolutely. Ordinary drip coffee makers like Mr. Coffee, Melitta, Bunn, Silex all make fine coffee, but not the Keurig in my experience.
If you can see through the coffee to the bottom of the cup, something is wrong. Lol.
@freemo Interesting. I messed with iron gall years ago, but I wouldn't get it anywhere near my FPs. I'll stick with what they were designed for and enjoy the marvels of modern chemistry, like bulletproof ink.
Each to his own. Part of the fun of fountain pens is doing your own thing. But I think you've found the answer to the rust problem. Gold should solve that.
