🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Joao Neves has gone viral for showing up to work in a £7k Peugeot van. · Fans recorded Joao arriving at training with PSG and were surprised watching him drive an old van. · Neves earns around £150k per week, so this naturally caused shock among fans, showing how humble the Portuguese is.

Microsoft Threat Intelligence
@MsftSecIntelJun 1
Microsoft has identified a npm supply chain compromise impacting 90+ redhat-cloud-services/* packages, including patch-client 4.0.4, insights-client 4.0.4, rbac-client 9.0.3, host-inventory-client 5.0.3, frontend-components 7.7.2, and others. The payload is a self-propagating worm that infects other npm packages and self-publishes. Each compromised package adds a malicious preinstall hook, embedding an index.js script in the package.json that silently executes “node index.js” during installation, downloads Bun, and runs a payload that steals secrets from npm, GitHub, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Secure Shell (SSH). The added code bloats index.js from ~8KB to ~4.3MB, acting as a heavily obfuscated ROT-9 eval loader. If any of the compromised packages are installed, users and organizations should assume compromise, rotate credentials, revert to a previously trusted version, and block compromised packages. Identified compromised npm packages have been taken down, and we continue to work with the npm team. Microsoft continues to investigate this attack and will publish updates as more information is available.

All this crap generated about Greenland and Venezuela is just to distract from the Epstein Files, which have still not been released. In defiance of the law, might I add. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

I understand the symbolism of the ruinous arena: the current administration will leave the country in ruins. But what's with the latex suit? Is that some kind of covert reference to Trump's adventures with Epstein?

Flying back from Prague to Lisbon: just one thought. Czechia vs Portugal: same population (10M), similar GDP per capita ($30K). But completely different engines. 🇵🇹 Portugal: tourism ≈17% of GDP 🇨🇿 Czechia: tourism ≈3%. The rest runs on high-tech manufacturing. Where Portugal sells views, Czechia sells machines. One exports all year. The other rides the seasons. Portugal still feels like a one-legged economy. There are incentives and tax breaks for change. But are we early, or is something structural missing?

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value. 2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger. 3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die". 4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying? 5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression. 6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc. 7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all. It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.
