It is amazing how once a person abandons Trump they suddenly get smarter. This proves MAGA is an illness that any person can recover from. It doesn't have to be terminal.

Today is a very special day for Mass Effect fans.
We've worked incredibly hard to bring together most of the original Mass Effect trilogy's voice cast to share a very important message with you.
We need to #SaveMassEffect.

Dear Democrats,
You won your historic victory on Tuesday with the help of our America First coalition on 4 key basic issues.
1. End foreign wars, war in Iran, and funding for Israel.
2. Reduce cost of living and gas/diesel (economy)
3. End corruption in Gov
4. Reduce cost of healthcare/health insurance
Which were also key components of the mandate delivered to Trump and Republicans, which they betrayed and failed to deliver.
Your party has two factions, older establishment Dems and younger populists Dems.
If the New Democrat majority returns to issues that lost your majority and presidency in 2024 and doesn’t stay focused on those 4 main issues, then the American populists movement that swung it big for you this cycle will not vote for you in 2028.
For example, bringing back 2020-2024 issues like woke, identity politics, forcing trans issues, gun control, Covid vaccine mandates, and open borders are not the issues that drove this massive blue tsunami.
Allowing the older establishment Democrats to run back to those issues that were defeated in the 2024 election would be a very grave mistake, tone deaf, and would completely undermine the opportunity you have before you.
The country didn’t suddenly join the Democrat Party with a sworn allegiance to always vote Democrat.
The country voted to end Trump and to refocus back to the main kitchen table issues that are hurting their lives.
And most of the younger generations of voters could care less about team party politics and just beating the other side.
The future is all about, “deliver results for Americans” and whoever can get it done.
To be very clear, I’m conservative and have voted Republican my entire life, but went into open rebellion and war against Trump and Republicans, the man I worked tirelessly to put in office because he betrayed his promises and the Republican Party turned back to it’s repulsive neocon elite donor focused ways and refused to deliver for the American people.
Our entire coalition did, we ended the Trump era and burned our party down, but we didn’t turn into Democrats.
For both parties need to realize that most Americans want the same basic things and the future belongs to an independent minded left/right powerful coalition that will force our elected and tax payer funded government to deliver for Americans or face punishment at the polls.
Focus on the issues that won on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, not issues the American people defeated in the past.
The ball is in your court.
Good luck!

THIS IS AN ACTUAL F*CKING GOLDMINE
Anthropic just shared one of the best tricks for Claude Code.
The idea: run Sonnet, Haiku 5.5 and Opus 5.5 at once, each one doing only the job it's best at.
Better results and way fewer tokens, because every task lands on the right model.
You just launch Claude Code like this:
claude --model sonnet --advisor opus
here's the split:
→ Sonnet 5.5 runs the session, writes the code and applies the fixes
→ Haiku 5.5 swarms the repo in parallel: search, grep and diff audits
→ Opus 5.5 stays on call as advisor for the big calls and signs off on the diff
→ you stop burning Opus context on work that doesn't need it
Opus only steps in at three moments:
→ before a plan locks
→ when the same error shows up twice
→ before calling it done
Sonnet builds. Haiku swarms. Opus reviews.
JEV engineering is the same move one layer down: the forks that need no thinker (which file, which tool, retry or stop) go to JEV in milliseconds, and the big models only see the ones that split
the full tree
> Sonnet 5.5 runs the main session and coordinates the work
> search maps the repo on Haiku 5.5, read-only
> grep finds call sites on Haiku 5.5 in its own context
> audit checks the diff on Haiku 5.5 in a throwaway worktree
> Opus 5.5 on call as advisor, reviews the synthesized diff before sign-off
> JEV routes micro-forks in milliseconds
paste the tree and this prompt into Claude Code ↓
"Reconfigure my Claude Code setup around this tree:
1. Run the main session on Sonnet 5.5 with Opus 5.5 as advisor.
2. Create three Haiku 5.5 subagents in .claude/agents: search (maps the repo), grep (finds call sites), audit (checks the diff).
3. Set isolation: worktree on audit so its checks never touch my working branch.
4. Add one rule to CLAUDE.md: delegate every repo search and test run to the Haiku 5.5 subagents to keep the main context small.
5. Route fast deterministic forks (tool choice, path selection, retries) through JEV.
Show me every change as a diff first. No edits until I say go."

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

Claude Code found every photo i "permanently deleted" from my iPhone. 3 years of deleted photos and videos sitting in a hidden cache on my device that any app with file access can read.
i plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. had Claude Code doing the security audit from my last post. it flagged something i wasn't even looking for. a directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails with over 147,000 files. photos, videos, screenshots. every single one was something i deleted.
photos from 2023. 2024. 2025. photos i deleted the second after taking them. photos i went into Recently Deleted and manually hit Delete All on. photos i deleted three separate times because i wanted to be absolutely sure they were gone. all still there.
what was sitting in that cache:
a photo of my passport i took for a visa application in 2023
screenshots of my bank app with full account numbers visible
private photos i sent someone and immediately deleted after a breakup
a screenshot of my crypto seed phrase i took "temporarily" in 2022
a photo of my ID and credit card i took to remember the numbers and deleted 5 seconds later
screenshots of my ex's private instagram stories i saved and "permanently deleted" in 2023
147,863 files in total. some of them were full resolution and all of them were organized by date going back to 2021.
when you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and your Recently Deleted folder. but it keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search index cache. this is how your phone finds photos when you type a word in search. Apple never clears it. not after 30 days. not after a year. not ever. they told you it was permanently deleted. it wasn't.
i checked which apps on my phone had Files and Folders access. 23 apps. weather apps. QR code scanners. PDF readers. a flashlight app i downloaded in 2022. any one of them could have been reading every photo i ever "deleted" this entire time.
went from 23 apps to 3 in about two minutes.
the full step by step is below. takes 2 minutes. save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone with an iPhone.

With Mass Effect 5, BioWare sought to target the exact pain points of their previous titles and course correct the studio.
- Cinematic supervisor Tony de Waal said “We were making something special: a level of autonomy and choice that no other game has been able to match. [BioWare] saw what Larian and CD Projekt were bringing to the table and started down a path to bring Mass Effect to the next level."
- Dantics reported that missions were being handcrafted as open-ended “Hitman-style” environments that would give players immense freedom and variety in how to approach objectives, unlike the empty open world of Andromeda or the railroaded Veilguard.
- The narrative aimed at the roots of Mass Effect’s former success, going with a more grounded “Cold War” backdrop that directly fed back to the endings of the Mass Effect trilogy, thus avoiding the pitfalls of Andromeda which felt too distant and Anthem which was entirely too focused on live-service and multiplayer.
- The game was being built on Unreal Engine 5, finally freeing the developers from an internal EA engine that wasn’t built for RPGs and constantly throttled their progress.
The reasons to believe in this game are well-founded and documented. Mass Effect 5 was actively being made into what fans had been asking for all this time.

I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

To those of you claiming that "woke" killed Bioware, you don't know what the frak you are talking about. BioWare was a pioneer in LGBTQ+ inclusion within Western RPGs, evolving from early same-sex options in games like Baldur’s Gate II and Jade Empire, to fully written queer main characters, explicit romances, and transgender/non-binary representation across the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series.
For those of you who claim you've played their games, but we know you haven't actually done so, here's a timeline of LGBTQ+ at a glance from BioWare games.
Early Era (2000–2005): Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003) featured Juhani as an early, semi-hidden lesbian romance. Jade Empire (2005) included same-sex options but faced editorial pushback or censorship in some markets.
Mass Effect Trilogy (2007–2012): Mass Effect (2007) sparked media controversy over a brief alien-human romance with Liara (playable as female Shepard). Mass Effect 2 expanded options, and Mass Effect 3 (2012) offered full same-sex romances for male and female Shepard, including crewmate Samantha Traynor and Steve Cortez.
Dragon Age Series (2009–Present): Dragon Age: Origins (2009) allowed bisexual/same-sex flings with select companions. Dragon Age II (2011) made nearly all main party members bisexual/pansexual. Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014) introduced Dorian Pavus as the studio's first fully gay companion and Krem as a prominent transgender character.
Later Titles (Andromeda and The Veilguard): Mass Effect: Andromeda (2017) scaled back queer options at launch, whereas later projects and studio leadership continued emphasizing expansive identity options and diverse characters.
Beyond that....
Writing & Advocacy: Lead writers like David Gaider championed authentic queer storylines, making non-straight identities a core part of fantasy and sci-fi worldbuilding rather than a joke.
Industry Influence: BioWare's commitment helped normalize LGBTQ+ characters in mainstream AAA video games, though critics and fans have also debated past missteps, missed opportunities, or inconsistent handling of bisexual representation.
(a simple Google search gives you the above, and you can go deeper if you like).
I've been playing their games since the VERY beginning. Get out of my timeline you fake-ass LARPers.

DEVELOPING:
The Coalition is closing too.
Gears of War: E-Day reportedly cost over $500 million to develop, excluding marketing.
A source familiar with Xbox’s business says the budget exceeds earlier reports of over $400 million.
Alinea Analytics estimates around 230,000 copies sold in the first week, generating about $37 million. Microsoft has not yet released official sales or player numbers.
A PS5 release probably wouldn’t have solved the problem. Gears of War: Reloaded sold 684,000 copies on PS5, which would have added roughly $33 million in revenue for E-Day after platform fees.
If true, the studio is cooked, Asha is coming for them.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post attaches a fabricated announcement of The Coalition closing its doors. In reality the studio hasnt closed despite concerns over E-Day performance.

🚨 BREAKING: LINUX IS NOW FACING TWO CRITICAL SECURITY VULNERABILITIES, AND THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL KERNEL FIXES YET.
Both rated 9.0/10 in severity.
One could allow hackers to take control of vulnerable servers WITHOUT EVEN LOGGING IN.
And the most alarming part? The flaws were made PUBLIC before patches were ready.
Here's what's happening:
→ TWO CRITICAL RCE FLAWS: Both affect KSMBD, Linux's built-in SMB file server.
→ NO PASSWORD REQUIRED: One vulnerability could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute malicious code on vulnerable servers.
→ KERNEL-LEVEL ACCESS: Successful exploitation could potentially give attackers control within the Linux kernel itself.
→ NO MAINLINE PATCH YET: Both vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed before official kernel fixes were available.
→ DISCOVERED BY AI: Trend Micro's AI-powered security scanner identified the flaws.
→ SERVERS AT RISK: Linux systems running the vulnerable KSMBD service need immediate attention, especially if port 445 is exposed.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then Python.
NOW LINUX.
And this time, the vulnerabilities are PUBLIC before the fixes are ready.
If you manage Linux servers, CHECK YOUR EXPOSURE NOW.
🚨 BREAKING: IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE. NOW PYTHON IS FACING A MASSIVE SECURITY EMERGENCY.
Python's security team has issued an URGENT warning after a certificate authority compromise put Python's HTTPS security at risk.
→ 8 CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY KEYS COMPROMISED. Some were so weak they could be cracked almost INSTANTLY.
→ FAKE TRUSTED WEBSITES: Attackers could potentially impersonate Python.org, PyPI and other websites during intercepted connections.
→ MALICIOUS DOWNLOADS: Vulnerable environments could be tricked into downloading software from attacker-controlled servers.
→ YOUR OS PATCH MAY NOT PROTECT YOU: Older versions of pip can STILL trust compromised certificates even after system updates.
→ EMERGENCY UPDATES: Python developers are being told to immediately update pip, certifi, uv and other affected tools.
→ DOCKER USERS AT RISK: Existing container images may retain vulnerable certificate stores and need rebuilding.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then LiteLLM.
NOW PYTHON.
The very systems developers rely on to establish TRUST online are becoming the attack surface.
If you use Python, PATCH NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Python certifi/pip details match the real eMudhra CA incident, but PHP, GitLab and LiteLLM involved unrelated software bugs, platform flaws and supply chain malware—not CA key compromises like this (Node.js patched concurrently for the same CA issue).

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
KSMBD is a rarely used optional in-kernel SMB server distinct from the common Samba implementation; it is not enabled or shipped by default on major distributions like RHEL, and the flaws affect only systems explicitly running it with port 445 exposed.
