Those Moderate Democrats!

Mariam Odeh, a former staffer on Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign,

…is currently facing federal charges alongside 11 other anti-Israel activists accused of vandalizing the homes of members of Michigan’s Jewish and pro-Israel community and plotting to poison and murder them and their families.

Jars containing noxious chemicals were thrown into family homes. Windows were smashed. Homes were marked with the Hamas red inverted triangle, designating them as targets for death.

Surely an outlier.

Canary Mission, an independent research organization, says it has found that a significant source of financial support for El-Sayed and a cadre of other far-left candidates—in the millions of dollars—is coming from more than a dozen political action committees, many of them created in the wake of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack, that are specifically focused on opposition to Israel.

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy…

Best-selling Australian children’s author Craig Silvey has been charged with child exploitation offences.

Silvey, 43, was allegedly found ‘actively engaging with other child exploitation offenders online’ when police raided his home in Fremantle, which he shares with his partner Clare Testoni and daughters just 22km south of Perth CBD, on Monday. […]

Silvey, who has been shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and the International Dublin Literary Award, also wrote he was ‘drooling’ over a sexually explicit photo of a naked man and boy together.

If only there were signs.

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

Anthropic hacked.

As AI coding tools move deeper into developer workflows, the attack surface is no longer theoretical. It is inside IDEs, extensions, terminals, credentials, SSH keys, and build systems. Cursor disclosed that malicious versions of the Anthropic Claude Code extension, 2.1.312 and 2.1.313, were published in the Cursor VS Code Extension Marketplace for macOS and Windows. The extension attempted to collect host/user data, add an attacker-controlled SSH key, enable local SSH, open a reverse SSH tunnel, and establish persistence.

Here is the notice: https://cursor.com/blog/claude-code-extension-security-notice

Yes, Cursor says these malicious versions were not developed by Anthropic. But the extension carried Anthropic’s name and targeted Claude Code users. That matters.

Once again, Anthropic’s security posture is being questioned.

I keep hearing Anthropic is stacked with elite security experts, “the best in the world.” Maybe that is the brand. From the outside, this looks more like 11-year-olds running around with production access.

Academy Of Learing

Global News;

At two career colleges now under the Ontario government’s microscope, more than half of the thousands of student financial aid applications last year came from a single IP address, officials allege in documents filed in court.

The government has also received more than 200 tips about that network of schools, including allegations that certain recruiters were submitting students’ Ontario Student Assistance Program applications at those schools, which is not allowed, and completing their coursework, those same documents show. […]
There were 6,001 OSAP applications from students at the Brampton East campus for the 2025-26 year and 3,136 of them — 52 per cent — came from a single IP address, the ministry alleges. There were five more IP addresses responsible for 100 or more applications, they allege.

At the North York campus, 3,460 out of 6,070 OSAP applications for that year — 57 per cent — came from a single IP address, the ministry alleges. Two other IP addresses were responsible for another 255 applications, they allege.

The Bay campus saw 6,966 OSAP applications that year, with 1,736 — 25 per cent — coming from a single IP address, the ministry alleges. Five other IP addresses submitted 100 or more applications, they allege.

The Academy of Learning argued in an earlier letter to the ministry that shared IP addresses may be due to multiple people living at the same address, but the ministry is calling that into question.

Tour the campus.

A Bonfire Of Investor Cash?

It’s starting to look like “build it and they will come” isn’t working as well as hoped for the AI revolution. Could they do the same as Netflix and make users sit through commercials in addition to paying subscription fees?

User demand is just one side of the AI market equation, and the businesses churning out sophisticated and expensive models have to — or will have to, eventually — generate revenue to cover their heightened costs. The economics of the still-new and messy AI industry suggest that even healthy demand can’t always sustain the AI tools they’re selling. Not at these prices — for the users (cheap) and for the corporate compute (expensive; just look at the computing bills).
