If I lived in your community, I’d be your biggest silent champion. Keep up the good work.

Lol no. El-Sayed won the primary in spite of the DNC - not because of it. The DNC rallied hard around Haley Stevens. They retaliated against El-Sayed for his uncommitted stance om Biden. The DNC sat idly by as their AIPAC donors shelled out incredible amounts for El-Sayed’s competition. He got the cold shoulder from leading Democrats like Gretchen Whitmer, Gary Peters, and Hillary Scholten

This press release you shared is merely the turning point where the DNC went from quietly rooting against him to actually needing him to win for hopes of a blue wave. It is highly misleading to quote the DNC’s boilerplate “Congrats” memo as proof they were in his corner.

On the real, I’ve heard the used CD market is making a massive comeback. There’s something to be said about physical media in the age of internet becoming more and more scary.

If you see risk being very high, make low risk investments: high yield savings accounts, CDs, bonds.

So then you’d concede Ukraine is not democratic since they can’t vote out Zelenskyy, right?

The point here being - democracy isn’t just “the presence of multiple political parties”.

Non sequitur that has absolutely nothing to do with the validity of the graph.

So then why in the same study do we see abysmal ratings for other authoritian dictatorships? Iraq, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, Russia, etc… If your point is that civilians in authoritarian regimes are coerced to show support in these types of polls, the results prove that notion wrong.

Why not?

What’s your point?

So then why did Russians in the same study claim abysmal democracy? Aren’t they afraid of the KGB?

Throughout 2026, IBM X-Force observed a dramatic increase in publicly disclosed vulnerabilities across major software vendors, including Microsoft, Oracle, Google Chrome and Apache. While the causes behind this increase are difficult to quantify, recent advances in AI-assisted vulnerability research demonstrate how vulnerability discovery can now occur at unprecedented scale. In August 2026, Unit 42 published a report highlighting that its autonomous vulnerability discovery platform, NOVA, identified more than 14,000 previously undiscovered vulnerabilities across nearly 4,000 open-source projects in just two months. The question is no longer whether AI can help researchers find vulnerabilities, but whether AI is changing vulnerability discovery faster than organizations are prepared to manage the risk.

Vulnerability disclosures are up 578% in 2026 across major software vendors. Publicly disclosed CVEs across Microsoft, Oracle, Google Chrome and Apache increased from approximately 1,493 disclosures during January-September 2025 to more than 10,124 during the same period in 2026, representing roughly a 578% increase. The acceleration became most apparent in Q2 2026. Vulnerability disclosure volumes remained relatively stable through the first quarter before increasing sharply beginning in April and continuing through the summer months.

Your head’s in the sand, friend.

October 2026 AI is drastically better at finding these holes compared to pre 2026 AI. Do you agree?

It seems like your main point is that the threat has not elevated. But the news from this week proves that is wrong, I feel.

I have had a fully public facing server for years with no issues.

To be fair, that was before AI was finding all these holes.

“Tankie” is just the latest evolution of “pinko”. It’s a pejorative against communists. It’s that simple.
