There was a small outbreak in May that was contained. This is a new, larger one, 1500 miles away, and in the middle of a whole bunch of armed groups that don't trust outsiders or each other.

Manafort's entire defense at this point is basically, 'Nuh-uh!' and they said their piece during cross examination. If they bring any witnesses in defense they'd get munched up and spit out by a gleefully grinning prosecution and they're not exactly brimming with evidence of his innocence. It probably is in his best interest, such as it is, to not do anything more. Raise doubts during the trial, sum up burden of proof in the closing arguments and roll the dice on some Trumpian mouth breathing mother fucker in the jury holding out for a hung jury then a retrial where he can play the victim card every one of these hypocritical poo poo stains love to carry around.

Maybe a giant plague will wipe out so many people that some of the worst effects of climate change will be staved off a few decades. One can hope!

Oh yeah if we did indeed already set off the methane gun (they're mixed on the matter right now, which should terrify people but it's 2018 so lol) in the tundra we're hosed even if you had simultaneously stopped all industry and internal combustion engines period forever. There's an absolute shitload of greenhouse gasses stored in the permafrost/tundra. We're either dangerously close, or in some cases already breaking into it and setting the gasses free. That in turn will make the area hotter, which will in turn free more gas, etc. It will be a completely runaway reaction with absolutely no way to stop it at all period. I think they last estimated that there's enough methane and other stuff in the tundra to raise global temperatures by like 3C which is enough to basically end the world as we know it and make things VERY interesting.

Trump loyalists have not changed the fundamental rules of the city — the weapon of shame remains most powerful in the hands of the shameless — but they have redefined the boundaries of play. Some people seem uncomfortable with that, but not Kellyanne. Here’s a conversation from a few days after our walk: Good article. Kind of feel bad for George but, only a little

When the leak of the CIA toolset in 2017 happened, the speculation in hacking circles was why it was so crappy compared to the NSA leak, in so much as it looked like it'd either been ripped from the NSA badly or built by a very few people with a bit of copying going on. The CIA don't have 30 thousand computer hackers working for them, they aren't going to be poo poo hot at it.

Also means you have to build your human intelligence up from the bottom. Likely not easy. So you have to rely on NSA to catch stuff which presumably the chinese are moving around on closed networks. You are probably right though. I think it shows a sloppiness as a very high level which could be dangerous in the near term due to that depletion of assets.

The CIA doesn't have people capable of making field grade modules. The NSA has people but is so stingy they sit on the good stuff for six months without 'risking' using it before it becomes obsolete anyway. Its a dumb situation which is so dumb that dumb ideas like CYBERCOM are somehow less dumb than known dumb ideas like Space Force.

I’ve been seeing a lot of my conservative colleagues posting about this liberal couple that went biking through ‘ISIS’ territory to prove ‘evil doesn’t exist.’ I haven’t found anything to fully back up those claims but the couple seems to be pretty hippy dippy and did get murdered in Central Asia. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/washington-dc-couple-american-cyclists-tajikistan-isis-lauren-geoghegan-jay-austin/

The hippy part and "there's no evil come from his blog posts. Nothing wrong with the concept, and apparently it's a common enough thing that there were a pack of them that got hit. The thing to note here is that apparently Tajikistan's buttoned-up reputation might not be 100% up to par. If they have a growing amount of disaffected young dudes, that's a bad thing in Putin's backyard.

I wanted to do the Pamir Highway trip someday. Thing is it's probably pretty safe 95% of the time. ISIS doesn't have to have an appreciable presence in an area for some messed up kids to run you over and claim allegiance after the fact.

One of my best friends knew the male cyclist from his time at HUD, and described him as a bit of a hippy, but not naive. Bike tour riders act something like unofficial ambassadors. People seem genuinely curious about you and your bike, and will often go out of their way to help you. I’ll never forget riding around Lake Ponchartrain with my girlfriend, and having some dude in a pick-up truck honk, flash his brights and abruptly swerve to a stop on the side of the road. As we approached with pocket knives hidden in our hands in case the guy turned out to be looking for a fight for some reason, we noticed he was leaning up on his truck with a huge grin. Turns out the guy was drunk as poo poo, proclaimed his love for bicycles and announced he just happened to have a couple of ice cold 1L bottles in a cooler in his truck bed. He told us about some camping spots ahead and then took off in his truck. Of all my friends who tour consistently, stories like that are the norm, not the exception. One thing I’ve read repeatedly is that Iran is one of the friendliest countries ever, with most tourers never wanting for a meal or a place to spend the night at their hosts’ insistence.
