Palestinian Presidency holds the United States responsible for Israel’s massacre at Al-Tabi’in school:

Congrats to Professor @rhlchatterjee, who recently received an @nsfgov CAREER Award. Building upon his work with @DAISofDaneCo, Chatterjee’s proposal asks a startling question: What if everything we "know" about system security no longer applies? More: https://t.co/by7Va5yeXB

🏆 Professor @royaensafi has received with the @UMich Henry Russel Award, the University's highest honor for early- to mid-career faculty, recognizing her outstanding research and teaching contributions. More on this award and her work:

Italian guy at the ice cream kiosk asked where i’m from; when I told him, he rolled his sleeve up and showed me his tattoo 🤍✊🏼

Steve Harvey: the category is “what you don’t want your eunuch doing.” Emperor Qin Shi Huang: After much reflection, Mr. Harvey, the fortunes point me to “scheming.” Steve Harvey: show me “scheming”! (Buzzer dings, first tile flips over, Harvey and audience start going crazy)

Karl Marx:

The cruelest myth of European colonization, whether in the subcontinent or the Levant or west Africa, remains the idea that we had nothing, that we didn’t build our societies & our peoples - that we would be wandering & wallowing in filth, were it not for their gracious violence.

My review of the latest @MaintenancePod

A US Department of the Interior 1911 advertisement offering Indigenous Land for Sale. Birds of a colonial feather flock together.

Oh my god

What type of "self-defense" does this?! "By mid-December, Israel had dropped 29,000 bombs, munitions and shells on the strip. Nearly 70% of Gaza’s 439,000 homes and about half of its buildings have been damaged or destroyed." https://t.co/qd8OPLSd83

It's interestig to see how biased @nytimes and @CNN are. They are not far from rightwing Fox News style craps.

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitism. What Israel is doing is nothing short of genocide. And seeing blind support from the USA is sickening. Killing people at random will only give rise to more radical and dangerous groups like Hamas.

@amazon @Walmart @eBay As such, we find that the existing ecosystem of devices and detectors enables abusers and fails survivors in need. You can read the full preprint of the paper at my website, https://t.co/loplPTPsFH.

@amazon @Walmart @eBay We also examined products that claim to detect hidden devices, including both apps and handheld detectors. None of these products work. For a survivor of IPS, they are a waste of money at best, and they provide a false sense of security at worst.

@amazon @Walmart and @eBay all have guidelines for what users can and cannot sell on their platforms, but none of these three companies prevent their users from selling devices intended to enable surveillance and abuse.

These devices included hidden microphones, cameras disguised, and GPS trackers. We found that user reviews provide anecdotal evidence that these devices are being used for IPS, and some of the devices even explicitly advertise themselves as being usable for IPS.
