Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank.
This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history.
Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

为什么你花 2 万块买的旗舰智能电视，按遥控器还是卡得像十年前的安卓机？
昨天安全研究员 @log4j 把自家 3000 刀的三星电视 Root 了，扒出来的底层代码堪称年度草台班子大赏：
1. 电视后台每 500 毫秒截一次屏（连 HDMI 投屏看电脑桌面都截），打包发给近 400 家合作商。如果电视没麦克风，后台进程甚至会顺着蓝牙和回音壁去「借」一个麦克风继续听。
2. 最搞笑的来了：为什么菜单这么卡？
另一位研究员 @mike64_t 拆包发现，三星在电视那颗羸弱的 CPU 上，塞了一个叫 alex.tflite 的模型——246 万参数，2012 年古董级的 AlexNet。
这玩意每隔 2 秒抓一张画面跑推理，猜你在玩什么游戏。结果因为颜色通道写反了，它 99% 的时间什么都认不出来，纯烧 CPU。
3. 那如果你在设置里关掉「隐私追踪」呢？
代码逻辑是：先死命跑完 CPU 推理，准备上传时再看开关——发现你关了，就把结果扔进垃圾桶，2 秒后继续跑。
4. 结局更是重量级：
当号主用 OpenAI 逆向分析「自己花 3000 刀买回家的电视固件」时，OpenAI 反手一个 Cyber Abuse 把他号封了，顺带没收了剩下的 500 刀余额。
三星负责偷窥客厅，2012 年的 AI 负责烧干电视 CPU，OpenAI 负责保护三星的屎山代码不被你发现。

Look at the Paulista in Brazil last night:
Thousands upon thousands of people celebrating Lula’s victory and the defeat of Trump-Netanyahu ally Bolsonaro.
Brazil sent a clear message that US imperialism and Zionism will not take control of their country.

Spanish Police battering teachers peacefully protesting for better working conditions.
We need to elect leaders who will fund education AND put these thugs and their bosses in jail where they belong.

The Government™ has made an ad about the protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.🌍🌎🌏

The French are decades ahead of Americans when it comes to politics:
“It started with the student revolt, but it concerns the entire society. We are fighting against the government, against war, and against capitalism. The entire society needs to change.”

Joe Rogan is stunned to learn British taxpayers were still paying off SLAVE OWNERS until 2015.
Britain abolished slavery in 1833. The government paid the slave owners £20,000,000 for their “lost property,” which was 40 PERCENT of the entire budget at the time.
Britain couldn’t afford it, so the government borrowed the money. Ordinary taxpayers spent the next 182 years paying interest on it.
Not a penny went to the people who had been enslaved. All of it went to the owners.
Someone born in 1990 was still paying off that loan.
The Treasury confirmed it in 2018. The final bonds weren’t redeemed until February 1, 2015.
KARA: “When the British abolished slavery, okay, they wrote a check to the slave owners.”
ROGAN: “Oh my god.”
KARA: “The British taxpayer was repaying that loan up until 2015.”
ROGAN: “Holy sh*t.”

Nobody is doing it like the people of Albania right now. Last week they set their Supreme Court on fire, and tonight they are launching fireworks at police all to stop their corrupt government from allowing Jared Kushner to build a resort on public land.

Claude can no longer “Reverse Engineer Anything.”
Anthropic just quietly killed REA.
But Interesting timing.
After a few viral cases of people using Claude to reverse-engineer Samsung TV firmware and identify data-collection services, Anthropic appears to have restricted those reverse-engineering abilities.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Elon Musk just called Hitler a socialist again and every time he does this Grok corrects him and points out that he was a fascist.

Google did this to build a data center in Finland.
It was illegal, but they did it anyway.

Lula versus Bolsonaro: Passei 1.901 dias em confinamento solitário por revelar a verdade sobre os assassinatos e a espionagem do governo dos EUA, inclusive contra o Brasil e suas indústrias. Lula, fora do poder, lutou pela minha liberdade. Lula, no poder, discutiu minha perseguição com o papa Francisco, que decidiu se encontrar com minha família e ajudar. Depois da minha libertação, Lula e eu nos encontramos em Roma para lamentar a morte do Santo Padre. Lula foi gentil com meus filhos e não pediu nada em troca. Em contraste, Jair e Flávio Bolsonaro nada fizeram e nada disseram. Sem a capacidade de dizer não a Washington e a Tel Aviv, não pode haver política interna, apenas ordens estrangeiras. Essas instruções são sempre as mesmas: “Ampliem nosso roubo de recursos e salários e calem a boca sobre nós assassinarmos crianças”. Os entreguistas entregarão tudo em troca de uma fatia, até a própria língua.
