This whole incident reminds me of the Tuttle OK vs Centos incident from 2006

Does anyone have context on what the newspaper “hacked”? The video implies that some teachers’ SSNs were in plaintext on the HTML of a government site, I believe.

Not an American, I genuinely struggled with whether this was satire or not.

Not a great sign for a campaign video?

When's he's next up for election? I think it's time to vote this clown out of office. If he's being this stupid about this, what else can he be stupid about?

Four days old. Not released or produced by Parsons, but by a PAC that supports him.

Obviously this ad is just the latest in a long line. But it's exceptional because it's on a fresh topic and so at odds with objective reality, common sense, and an open society that it can't be waved away through relativism. Is there anything to be done about this Lugenpresse political movement, besides crossing our fingers and hoping that enough people have retained their faculties such that the Republican party implodes rather than explodes?

I'm reminded of Moldbug's call to build a more trustworthy source of truth (somewhat ironic, I know). The current zeitgeist is definitely a correction from how the mainstream media has been traditionally manipulating. But rather than appreciating more reliable sources, it seems that people are more interested in confirming their biases rather than confronting uncomfortable truths. I'm at a loss of how this can be reformed through grassroots information technology, besides taking steps to protect myself from whatever societal decay lies ahead.

My hacking tool of choice is curl.

i dont think ive ever seen a video so thoroughly downvoted.
