‘I love you too!’ My family’s creepy, unsettling week with an AI toy


‘I’m going to throw that thing into a river!” my wife says as she comes down the stairs looking frazzled after putting our four-year-old daughter to bed.

To be clear, “that thing” is not our daughter, Emma*. It’s Grem, an AI-powered stuffed alien toy that the musician Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, helped develop with toy company Curio. Designed for kids aged three and over and built with OpenAI’s technology, the toy is supposed to “learn” your child’s personality and have fun, educational conversations with them. It’s advertised as a healthier alternative to screen time and is part of a growing market of AI-powered toys.

When I agreed to experiment on my child’s developing brain, I thought an AI chatbot in cuddly form couldn’t be any worse for her than watching Peppa Pig. But I wasn’t prepared for how attached Emma became to Grem, or how unsettlingly obsequious the little alien was.

The FBI couldn't get my husband to decrypt his Tor nodes, so they told a judge he used his GRAPHICS DRIVER to access the "dark web" and jailed him PRE TRIAL for 3 years.

(Eastern District of Michigan - Detroit)

My husband, Conrad Rockenhaus, is wrongly incarcerated in a county jail. I’m posting this here because you are one of the few communities that will understand the full technical and political reality of how he ended up there.

My husband is a former Tor operator, and at one point, he ran some of the fastest relays and exit nodes in the world.

This nightmare began when he refused to help the FBI decrypt traffic from his exit nodes.

Months later, the government arrested him. Their official reason? A minor, non-violent CFAA charge from an old workplace dispute that had nothing to do with Tor.

In fact, the statute of limitations was just a couple of months from expiring. It was a clear pretext to target him.

That minor charge was all they needed to get him into the system. To deny him bail, a U.S. Probation Officer in Texas lied under oath, telling a judge that Conrad had installed a "Linux OS called Spice" to "knock out their monitoring software" and access the "dark web."

Read the transcript

Here is the technical reality of their lie: The software was a standard SPICE graphics driver needed for his Ph.D. program. As many of you know, this is a basic utility for displaying graphics from a virtual machine. It is not an OS, has no connection to the dark web, and was technically incapable of interfering with their monitoring software.

The claim is a technical absurdity, equivalent to saying a mouse pad can hack a server.

Based on that lie alone, he was held in pre-trial detention for three years.

Now, the retaliation has escalated in Michigan. After I filed a formal complaint against his US probation officers for harassment, they used fraudulent warrants to jail my husband again.

During this violent arrest by US Marshals (who smashed in our windows and nearly shot my dog) he sustained a severe head injury that caused him to have a grand mal seizure in court. The jail’s “medical attention” was to ask him what year it was (he said 2023) and then send him back to his cell. He is being denied real medical care.

See videos:
- Feds threatening to sick dogs on us
- Feds beating by husband in the head
- Feds smashing in our windows
- Feds threaten to shoot my dog
- More threats to shoot my dog

To make matters worse, U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Murphy, III has created a procedural trap that has stripped my husband of his right to a lawyer to fight for his life, health, or innocence. He is trapped in a constitutional and medical crisis.

I am not asking for money. I am asking for your help to amplify this story. You understand the technical truth and why this fight is so important.

We have all the evidence: the court transcript of the false testimony, the fraudulent warrants, the proof of medical neglect. It’s documented on my website:

rockenhaus.com/

TL;DR: My husband, a former Tor operator, refused to help the FBI decrypt Tor traffic. They retaliated by using an old, unrelated CFAA offense to arrest him and then lied about him using a "graphics driver to access the dark web” to keep him in pre-trial detention for 3 years. Now he's been jailed again in Michigan on fraudulent violations, is being denied care for a head injury, and has no lawyer.

I need help getting the word out🙏

More Context from her comment:

Seeing a lot of questions and some misinformation in the comments, so I wanted to clarify a few key facts with sources:
- On the original case: My husband did not have a trial. He took a coerced guilty plea in Texas after being held for three years based on perjured testimony about a "SPICE graphics driver." We have the court transcript proving the perjury on our website.
- On the violent arrest: The claim that my husband was "combative" is a complete fabrication, likely being spread to justify the U.S. Marshals' actions. We have the unedited security camera footage of the entire raid, and it proves the opposite.
- On the relevance of Tor: The government's retaliation against our family began after my husband, a Tor exit node operator, refused to help the FBI decrypt traffic. They then used an unrelated workplace dispute as the pretext for the initial charge. The entire case stems from his support for online privacy.

Please don't take a random commenter's word for it. All the evidence (the fraudulent warrants, the court transcripts proving the original lie, and the judge's order creating the current constitutional crisis) is on the public record at rockenhaus.com/.

How Internal Audits Under ISO 13485 Strengthen Quality Assurance in Medical Devices


The Critical Role of Internal Audits in ISO 13485 Quality Management System for Medical Devices

Internal audits serve as a cornerstone for strengthening compliance under the ISO 13485 Quality Management System for Medical Devices. They provide a structured approach to evaluate whether processes, procedures, and controls align with regulatory expectations. For manufacturers of complex devices, these audits ensure the organization consistently meets global standards of safety, performance, and reliability. By identifying gaps early and addressing them proactively, internal audits reinforce a strong quality management culture across the enterprise.

Aligning Medical Devices ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 for Quality Assurance

While both standards emphasize quality, medical devices iso 13485 and iso 9001 serve distinct purposes. ISO 9001 provides a broad framework for quality management across industries, while ISO 13485 specifically targets medical device compliance with stricter regulatory demands. Internal audits act as a bridge, ensuring that organizations align both frameworks where relevant. This dual alignment helps companies manage complex supply chains, maintain consistent documentation, and drive continuous improvement while staying compliant with global medical device regulations.

Strengthening Documentation and Traceability Through ISO 13485 Quality Management System for Medical Devices

One of the recurring themes in audit findings across the medical device industry is inadequate documentation. The iso 13485 quality management system for medical devices requires comprehensive traceability from design inputs to production records and post-market surveillance. Internal audits ensure that documentation practices are not only compliant but also practical and sustainable. By scrutinizing record-keeping processes, organizations can guarantee that every design change, corrective action, and customer complaint is traceable, enhancing overall quality assurance.

Risk Management and Internal Audits Under Medical Devices ISO 13485 and ISO 9001

Risk management is deeply embedded within medical devices iso 13485 and iso 9001 frameworks. Internal audits verify that organizations consistently identify, assess, and mitigate risks at every stage of the product lifecycle. This includes analyzing supplier risks, manufacturing process risks, and patient safety risks. Effective audits also ensure that risk control measures are validated, documented, and updated in real time. By doing so, organizations strengthen their capacity to prevent nonconformities, safeguard patients, and protect brand reputation.

Process Validation and Operational Excellence in Medical Devices ISO 13485 and ISO 9001

Another area where internal audits prove invaluable is process validation. Regulators expect manufacturers to demonstrate that processes consistently produce results that meet predefined specifications. Internal audits aligned with medical devices iso 13485 and iso 9001 ensure that validation protocols are established, monitored, and reviewed regularly. These audits help identify inefficiencies, optimize workflows, and ensure that process controls support both regulatory compliance and operational excellence. The outcome is a stronger quality management system that integrates efficiency with compliance.

Supplier Quality Oversight Under ISO 13485 Quality Management System for Medical Devices

Medical device manufacturers operate in a highly interconnected supply chain. A weak link in supplier quality can directly impact product safety and compliance. Internal audits under the iso 13485 quality management system for medical devices extend beyond the company’s walls, focusing on supplier processes, materials, and quality controls. By assessing supplier compliance, manufacturers can mitigate risks of recalls, delays, and nonconformities. Internal audits also ensure that supplier qualification, monitoring, and corrective actions are systematically integrated into the broader QMS framework.

Training and Competency Audits Across Medical Devices ISO 13485 and ISO 9001

Personnel competency plays a pivotal role in maintaining quality assurance standards. Internal audits confirm whether training programs align with the rigorous requirements of medical devices iso 13485 and iso 9001. Auditors evaluate training records, employee competencies, and continuous learning initiatives to ensure that teams are equipped to manage compliance demands. By embedding training evaluations into the audit cycle, organizations create a workforce that is not only compliant but also capable of driving quality improvement initiatives across the business.

Integrating CAPA and Continuous Improvement Through ISO 13485 Quality Management System for Medical Devices

Corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) are a vital mechanism for addressing nonconformities and improving processes. Internal audits verify whether CAPA systems are effective under the iso 13485 quality management system for medical devices. Auditors assess whether root cause analyses are comprehensive, corrective actions are documented, and preventive measures are implemented effectively. This integration ensures that lessons learned from nonconformities drive meaningful change, strengthening the organization’s ability to consistently deliver safe and effective medical devices.

Leveraging Digital Quality Management Systems for Smarter Internal Audits

As medical device organizations evolve, manual auditing practices no longer suffice to meet regulatory demands. Internal audits must now leverage digital QMS platforms that integrate real-time data, automated workflows, and advanced analytics. With digital solutions, organizations can track audit findings, assign corrective actions, and monitor progress seamlessly. A digital quality management system ensures complete visibility across all audit activities, transforming audits from a compliance exercise into a driver of continuous improvement.

**Conclusion: Why ComplianceQuest is Essential for Business in 2025
**
Internal audits under the iso 13485 quality management system for medical devices are indispensable for ensuring regulatory compliance, maintaining operational excellence, and reinforcing quality assurance. By aligning the rigorous standards of medical devices iso 13485 and iso 9001, manufacturers build stronger systems that protect patient safety and product integrity. In 2025, businesses cannot afford to rely on fragmented systems or outdated audit methods. ComplianceQuest offers a cloud-native, next-generation quality management system that integrates audits, CAPA, risk management, supplier oversight, and training into one unified platform. Organizations that choose ComplianceQuest will not only streamline internal audits but also build a future-ready culture of quality, ensuring success in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Risultato? Ho imparato un sacco di cose nuove.
E adesso che sto bene, torno alla mia routine…
ma non più come prima: ci torno con un bagaglio più grande, e con la mente più affilata ⚔️✨.

Huntington Beach condemns ‘violent rhetoric’ at vigil for Charlie Kirk


Spoiler: the violent rhetoric is still not coming from the left

What was initially billed as a vigil for Kirk quickly devolved into an apparent White supremacist gathering, based on social media footage. Footage of the rally shows demonstrators waving flags affiliated with the Patriot Front, which the FBI described in a 2019 report as a White supremacist group, as well as chanting “White men fight back.”

A short clip purportedly showing Huntington Beach Councilmember Butch Twining at the rally went viral on Facebook.



Enterprise SEO for headless CMS environments


As enterprises expand their digital footprints, the demand for flexibility, speed, and scalability in content management systems has led many to adopt headless CMS environments. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, headless CMS decouples the backend (content repository) from the frontend (presentation layer), allowing organizations to deliver content seamlessly across websites, apps, IoT devices, and more.

While this architecture offers agility, it also introduces unique challenges for enterprise SEO. Without a traditional rendering system, ensuring crawlability, indexability, and optimized performance requires advanced strategies. For organizations managing complex ecosystems, the ability to integrate SEO best practices into headless CMS setups can be the difference between digital visibility and obscurity.

**Understanding the SEO challenges of headless CMS
**
Headless CMS platforms excel in omnichannel content delivery, but they create gaps for SEO teams if not implemented carefully:

  1. JavaScript rendering issues: Search engines may struggle to crawl content if server-side rendering (SSR) or pre-rendering isn’t applied.
  2. Fragmented workflows: Content and SEO optimization often happen in silos, leading to missed opportunities.
  3. Metadata management: Ensuring consistent meta tags, canonical tags, and structured data across distributed systems can be difficult.
  4. Performance optimization: APIs and third-party integrations sometimes slow down load times, affecting rankings.
  5. Scalability issues: For enterprises with thousands of pages, maintaining SEO governance across headless environments is a major challenge.

These hurdles make it essential to embed SEO thinking into every layer of the headless CMS architecture.

Key strategies for enterprise SEO in headless CMS environments
1. Prioritize server-side rendering (SSR)

For SEO, rendering matters. By implementing SSR or static site generation (SSG), enterprises ensure that search engines can access fully rendered HTML. This improves crawlability and indexation, especially for JavaScript-heavy environments.

  1. Structured data and schema integration

Headless CMS allows for dynamic, API-driven content delivery. By embedding structured data directly into templates, enterprises can secure rich snippets, knowledge graph visibility, and voice search opportunities—critical elements of modern SEO services.

  1. API-driven metadata governance

Metadata consistency is a challenge when content is distributed across multiple frontends. Enterprises should implement API-based metadata governance frameworks that allow teams to centrally manage titles, descriptions, and canonical tags at scale.

  1. Content performance monitoring

Monitoring keyword performance and technical issues is more complex in headless CMS environments. Enterprises should integrate analytics, log file analysis, and automated SEO testing into their digital marketing services stack to maintain oversight.

  1. Collaboration across teams

Headless CMS requires tighter collaboration between developers, content teams, and SEO specialists. Embedding SEO processes into development sprints ensures optimizations are applied from the ground up.

Why enterprises should align SEO with digital transformation

For enterprises adopting headless CMS, the transition is often part of a broader digital transformation strategy. By connecting SEO efforts with omnichannel content delivery, organizations can:

  • Ensure consistent visibility across web, mobile, and emerging platforms.
  • Improve personalization by tailoring content for user intent and context.
  • Future-proof their digital ecosystems against changes in search algorithms.

This integration of Enterprise SEO services with digital-first infrastructure positions enterprises to dominate search visibility in competitive industries.

The role of an Enterprise SEO agency

Implementing SEO within a headless CMS requires expertise that goes beyond traditional optimization. Partnering with an Enterprise SEO agency helps enterprises:

  • Develop scalable SEO frameworks for multi-platform delivery.
  • Optimize API-driven content for crawlability and discoverability.
  • Implement SSR and structured data strategies at scale.

Provide ongoing audits and align SEO with development roadmaps.

With the right partner, enterprises can transform the perceived SEO limitations of headless CMS into opportunities for differentiation.

Choosing the best SEO agency in India

Enterprises worldwide often turn to India for advanced SEO expertise at scale. The best SEO agency in India should demonstrate:

  • Proven success with headless CMS platforms.
  • Deep technical SEO knowledge, including rendering strategies and log file analysis.
  • Experience integrating SEO into digital marketing services.
  • Ability to scale across global enterprise websites with thousands of pages.

Selecting an agency that blends technical depth with strategic insight ensures enterprises maximize both performance and visibility.

A note on Briskon

Enterprises exploring SEO strategies for headless CMS environments may consider agencies like Briskon, which combine technical SEO expertise with enterprise-level execution. While not the only option, Briskon’s approach to aligning SEO with digital transformation makes it a strong suggestion for organizations seeking scalable solutions.

Final thoughts

Headless CMS environments are reshaping how enterprises deliver content, but they also redefine how SEO must be approached. By prioritizing server-side rendering, embedding structured data, governing metadata through APIs, and ensuring close collaboration across teams, enterprises can overcome technical hurdles and unlock new growth opportunities.

Aligning these strategies with expert SEO services, supported by an experienced Enterprise SEO agency, ensures enterprises remain competitive in the ever-evolving digital ecosystem. For organizations seeking scalable expertise, partnering with the best SEO agency in India can provide both cost efficiency and technical excellence.

Accessibility, speed, and scalability are the hallmarks of modern digital experiences. By embracing Enterprise SEO services tailored for headless CMS environments, enterprises can not only maintain but also enhance their visibility in search, paving the way for long-term success.

The role of personalization engines in enterprise SEO success


The role of personalization engines in enterprise SEO... #seo

In the evolving digital landscape, enterprise businesses are under constant pressure to meet user expectations for highly relevant, tailored experiences. Generic content is no longer enough. Audiences want answers, recommendations, and journeys that reflect their unique needs. This shift has brought personalization engines—AI-driven tools that customize digital experiences in real time—into the spotlight.

For large organizations, personalization engines are not just about enhancing customer engagement. They also play a crucial role in the success of enterprise SEO services. By aligning SEO with personalization, businesses can drive better visibility, stronger engagement, and ultimately higher conversions at scale.

Why personalization matters in enterprise SEO

Traditional SEO services have long focused on keywords, backlinks, and content optimization. While these remain essential, search behavior is changing. Search engines themselves are becoming more personalized, factoring in user history, preferences, location, and intent to deliver customized results.

  • Enterprise businesses must adapt by using personalization engines that:
  • Deliver dynamic content tailored to user intent.
  • Recommend products, features, or resources based on prior interactions.
  • Adjust messaging in real time to different audience segments.

By integrating personalization into SEO, enterprises align with how modern users search, making their content more discoverable and engaging.

How personalization engines enhance enterprise SEO
1. Improved user engagement metrics

Search engines increasingly rely on behavioral signals like dwell time, bounce rates, and click-through rates to rank content. Personalization engines boost these metrics by delivering content that users are more likely to engage with. For example, a returning visitor to a SaaS platform might see product comparisons instead of general blogs, ensuring relevance.

  1. Intent-driven content delivery

Enterprise websites often have vast ecosystems: product pages, knowledge bases, blogs, and case studies. Personalization engines can surface the right content at the right time, aligning with search intent. This helps businesses optimize for long-tail queries and featured snippets, strengthening their overall enterprise SEO services strategy.

  1. Scalable localization

For global enterprises, personalization extends beyond language. Engines can adapt content based on cultural context, regional search behavior, or local product demand. Combined with SEO services, this ensures content resonates with users worldwide while supporting multilingual SEO strategies.

  1. Smarter internal linking

Personalization engines dynamically adjust internal links based on user behavior, guiding visitors to the most relevant pages. This enhances crawlability, distributes link equity efficiently, and helps search engines understand site structure—all critical to enterprise SEO success.

Integration with digital marketing services

Personalization doesn’t operate in isolation. It is most powerful when connected with broader digital marketing services. For example:

  • SEO + email marketing: Personalized email journeys can drive traffic back to targeted landing pages optimized for search.
  • SEO + PPC: Insights from personalization engines help refine ad copy and keyword targeting.
  • SEO + social media: Personalized recommendations fuel shareable, relevant content for niche communities.

This integration creates a feedback loop: personalization engines inform marketing campaigns, which in turn feed SEO strategies with richer behavioral insights.

Personalization engines and enterprise SEO technology stack

To succeed at scale, personalization engines must be embedded into the broader SEO technology ecosystem. This includes:

  • Analytics tools for user behavior tracking.
  • Content management systems (CMS) with dynamic rendering capabilities.
  • Automation platforms that integrate personalization with SEO workflows.
  • AI-driven engines that analyze patterns to predict future user intent.

By unifying these elements, enterprise businesses can create adaptive SEO strategies that evolve alongside user needs.

The challenge of personalization in SEO outsourcing

Many global companies look to SEO outsourcing in India for cost-effective and scalable optimization. India’s SEO market offers deep technical expertise, content scalability, and multilingual capabilities, making it an attractive option for enterprises.

However, integrating personalization with SEO outsourcing requires careful planning. Agencies must have both technical SEO knowledge and the ability to work with personalization technologies. This combination ensures that outsourcing is not just about execution but about delivering relevance and long-term growth.

Measuring the impact of personalization on SEO success

To understand how personalization engines contribute to SEO, enterprises should track:

  • Engagement metrics: Increased time on site, reduced bounce rates, and higher CTRs.
  • Organic growth: Improvement in rankings for intent-driven queries.
  • Conversion rates: Higher lead generation or product adoption through personalized journeys.
  • Content ROI: Better performance from tailored content campaigns.

By aligning personalization data with SEO KPIs, businesses can prove the tangible value of integrating the two.

****Choosing the right partner for enterprise SEO and personalization**

As personalization becomes a core element of digital strategy, enterprises need partners who understand both SEO and personalization technologies. The best SEO agency in India or globally will offer:

Experience with enterprise-scale websites.

  • Technical capabilities to integrate SEO with personalization engines.
  • Alignment with broader digital marketing services for multi-channel growth.
  • Data-driven approaches that prioritize measurable business outcomes.

This blend of expertise ensures enterprises can meet user expectations while maintaining strong organic visibility.

With experience in enterprise SEO services and complementary digital marketing services, Briskon provides the expertise needed to manage large-scale optimization while adapting strategies to personalization-driven search. While not the only option, exploring such agencies can help enterprises bridge technical SEO with user-centric growth.

Final thoughts

The future of enterprise SEO is deeply intertwined with personalization. As search engines deliver more customized results, businesses must adapt by creating equally personalized experiences. Personalization engines empower enterprises to deliver dynamic, relevant content that aligns with user intent—strengthening visibility, engagement, and conversions.

By combining enterprise SEO services, personalization strategies, and broader digital marketing services, organizations can achieve a competitive edge in global markets. For enterprises leveraging SEO outsourcing in India, success lies in choosing partners who understand the synergy between personalization and SEO.

In this landscape, the businesses that thrive will be those that view SEO not as static optimization, but as a dynamic, personalized journey for every user.

Weird comment scoring


I just noticed this on this comment: it has 18 upvotes and -1 downvotes, for a total of +19. This looks like a glitch 🙂


Trump DOJ sued by Epstein prosecutor Maurene Comey over 'illegal' firing


in reply to ExtremeDullard

Looking at other comments, the downvotes seem to be presented without the -1. So maybe that's how it gets printed when someone downvotes and then changes their mind?

EDIT: When I downvoted and upvoted this comment back again, downvotes did not go into negative.
Maybe it happens when downvoter gets banned from community?

Well like I said, it's probably a glitch that occurs in rare cases, such as the one you mention, else it would have been noticed. I figured I'd report it. Because the math is right, but there is no such thing as a negative number of countable things.






The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk


The assassination of Charlie Kirk presages a new, deadly stage in the disintegration of a fractious and highly polarized United States. While toxic rhetoric and threats are lobbed across cultural divides like hand grenades, sometimes spilling over into actual violence — including the murder of Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband and the two assassination attempts against Donald Trump — Kirk’s killing is a harbinger of full-scale social disintegration.

His murder has given the movement he represented — grounded in Christian nationalism — a martyr. Martyrs are the lifeblood of violent movements. Any flinching over the use of violence, any talk of compassion or understanding, any effort to mediate or discuss, is a betrayal of the martyr and the cause the martyr died defending.

Martyrs sacralize violence. They are used to turn the moral order upside down. Depravity becomes morality. Atrocities become heroism. Crime becomes justice. Hate becomes virtue. Greed and nepotism become civic virtues. Murder becomes good. War is the final aesthetic. This is what is coming.

Jeffrey Epstein estate turns over more documents to House committee


Jeffrey Epstein's estate has turned over additional documents to the House Oversight Committee, including a previously redacted name from the late sex offender's now-notorious 50th birthday book, according to a letter obtained by NBC News.

The name that was unredacted was not immediately publicly released.

The attorneys said in a letter to the committee dated last week that it had "redacted the names of specified categories of individuals out of an abundance of caution to ensure no potential victims are publicly identifiable" when it turned over the book last week but that after "further review, we identified one redacted name that does not appear to fit within those categories."

The estate also turned over what it described as "another of Mr. Epstein's address/contact books."

"In an abundance of caution, we have redacted names and contact information of women who appear in the sections of the book titled 'Massage — New York (a)', “Massage — New York (b)' and 'Massage — UK' to ensure that no potential victims are publicly identifiable," says the letter, which was first reported by CNN.

Color me shocked.


Kathy Hochul Endorsed Zohran Mamdani. Will Top Democrats Join Her?


New York Gov. Kathy Hochul became the top official in the state to endorse Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani for New York City for mayor on Sunday, marking a shift for a strident defender of Israel as mainstream Democrats grapple with surging public support for Mamdani’s criticism of the Israeli regime over its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In an opinion piece for the New York Times, Hochul wrote that she and Mamdani shared priorities like making the city more affordable and ensuring strong leadership of the New York Police Department. She also took an oblique shot at Mamdani’s two main competitors: current New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who President Donald Trump’s team has reportedly pushed to drop out of the race, and Andrew Cuomo, who would have a better shot at winning if Adams did so. The former governor lost the Democratic primary by just under 13 percentage pointsto Mamdani in June.

“In light of the abhorrent and destructive policies coming out of Washington every day, I needed to know the next mayor will not be someone who would surrender one inch to President Trump,” Hochul wrote. Trump, apparently displeased with the endorsement, called it “a rather shocking development.”

Hochul’s support for Mamdani followed nearly three months of hand-wringing from the de facto leader of New York’s Democratic Party, who has expressed skepticism of Mamdani’s policy proposals that would require tax hikes on the wealthy and more public spending. Now, Hochul’s endorsement sets her apart from the top two Democrats in Congress — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — who have both declined to weigh in on the most heated race in New York City.

As a result, New York’s Democratic establishment remains split over whether they should rally behind Mamdani, Cuomo, or — seemingly – no one.

Nearly three months after the primary, only four members of the Democratic congressional delegation representing New York City districts have endorsed Mamdani: Reps. Nydia Velázquez, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jerry Nadler, and Adriano Espaillat. Only Velázquez and Ocasio-Cortez backed Mamdani before his primary win.

“We have a Democratic nominee,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters earlier this month. “Are we a party that rallies behind their nominee, or not?”

Many members of New York City’s financial elite, set on edge by Mamdani’s promises of a freeze on stabilized rents and othermeasures to lower the city’s cost of living, have been plotting to keep him from securing the mayor’s seat in November.

Democratic Reps. George Latimer, Ritchie Torres, Gregory Meeks, and Tom Suozzi have endorsed Cuomo. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Reps. Dan Goldman, Grace Meng, and Yvette Clarke have not made endorsements in the race.

Urging her fellow New York Democrats to back Mamdani, Ocasio-Cortez has pointed to her support of President Joe Biden during the 2024 presidential election even though he was not her preferred candidate.

“We use our primaries to settle our differences and once we have a nominee, we rally behind that nominee. I am very concerned by the example that is being set by anybody in our party,” Ocasio-Cortez said earlier this month. “If an individual doesn’t want to support the party’s nominee now, it complicates their ability to ask voters to support any nominee later.”

Outside the city, Rep. Pat Ryan, a Democrat who represents a swing district in the Hudson Valley, endorsed Mamdani last week. Democratic Rep. Laura Gillen, a moderate from Long Island, was the first Democrat to publicly denounce Mamdani’s campaign after his win but has not endorsed a candidate in the race.

Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Jeffries pointed to a statement he made to reporters last week: “I certainly will have more to say about the New York City mayor’s race in short order.”

Offices for Schumer, Gillibrand, Goldman, Meng, and Clarke did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Nadler, who announced this month he will retire at the end of the current congressional session, addressed his change of heart toward Mamdani during an interview with WNYC’s Brian Lehrer on September 5. During the primary, Nadler said he would not back Mamdani because of his criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and what Nadler called Mamdani’s lack of experience. Nadler told Lehrer his decision to endorse Mamdani after he won the primary was a no-brainer.

“First, he was the Democratic nominee,” Nadler said. “Second, what are the alternatives? You have the mayor, who’s a crook, and you had Andrew Cuomo, whom I had said should resign from the governorship because he was a repeat sexual predator.”

Goldman, whose Manhattan district Mamdani won in June, endorsed state Sen. Zellnor Myrie before the primary and has said he has spoken with Mamdani but won’t endorse him without “concrete steps” to assuage fears from Jewish New Yorkers about hate crimes in the city. It’s not clear what further steps Goldman wants to see — Mamdani has he takes concerns about antisemitism seriously and that he would take steps to protect all of his constituents — Jewish and otherwise.

Clarke endorsed New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams before the primary. Meng, who did not make an endorsement prior to the primary, congratulated Mamdani on his win in June and a campaign that she said “built coalitions & mobilized underrepresented New Yorkers!” But she stopped short of endorsing Mamdani.

Gustavo Gordillo, co-chair of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, which supports Mamdani’s campaign, condemned the party establishment for neglecting to rally behind Mamdani.

“Establishment Democrats have no plan to support the workers targeted by Trump’s agenda,” Gordillo said. “If establishment Democrats refuse to get behind Zohran, they’re not just rejecting the vision of an affordable NYC — they’re rejecting the 500,000 voters and counting who are behind Zohran.”

su Animal Crossing, nuovi orizzonti e brutali abbandoni… (cancellazione isola)


Ieri, volendo resettare il salvataggio di Animali Crostini Nuovi Orizzonti, ho scoperto di averci dovuto perdere svariati minuti, perché non è esattamente ovvio il come… e un pochino mi sento stupida. Certamente ho pensato di dover andare sul menu impostazioni semi-nascosto di avvio del gioco (tasto MINUS), e non di continuare normalmente come se volessi giocare, ma… in realtà, a parte che è tutto mezzo criptico lì e ho dovuto perdere qualche minuto solo per beccare il tasto giusto di 5, ho scoperto che è comunque tutta una presa in giro: Tom Nook rigira la frittata e dice di andare nelle impostazioni della console, per compiere il lavoro, che questa roba della formattazione non è mestiere suo ormai! 🤯

E, un po’, la cosa è triste. Cancellare la città (ai tempi di prima dell’isola, appunto) era a suo modo un’esperienza mistica nella sua brutalità, perché l’entità di turno si prendeva in carico la cosa, ma prestava molto impegno a fare un discorso dissuadente, ansiogeno, per certi versi con un valore filosofico palpabile, pur di soltanto posticipare l’inevitabile, con qualche ulteriore paragrafo di dialogo ed una tripla conferma… Chi mai sarà il mortale giocatore per pretendere l’eliminazione nel nulla, una condanna per certi versi peggiore della semplice distruzione, di un intero villaggio con tutti i suoi esseri viventi al seguito, come se questi non fossero mai esistiti in primo luogo, e ciò nonostante dall’altra parte i tali esseri non possono fare altro che obbedire, sotto il peso del codice macchina che li definisce? 🙀

Insomma, mi fa quasi strano che Tom Nook non mi dica sostanzialmente niente di ché, dopo avergli rivelato di voler commettere il crimine. E così, dalle sterili impostazioni di sistema, compiere l’operazione è stato stranamente indolore, fin troppo leggero rispetto all’abitudine… anche perché, ovviamente, un ulteriore backup (…che credo sia l’unico attualmente, perché i precedenti non li trovo più) l’ho fatto prima, ma non è solo quello. Cancellare tutto per mezzo di un menu asettico, senza i suoni di animaletti terrorizzati in sottofondo, non da il giusto rispetto alla cosa. 🤥

…Comunque… Nel caso qualcuno voglia vedere altre cose tristi di New Horizon, forse, è possibile attraverso la stufoctt… con il post-diario che ho scritto stasera giocando, avendo creato l’isola nuova: stuff.octt.eu.org/2025/09/rico…! 🙏 (E, come ho detto proprio lì, non ho idea di se questa cosa possa reggere a lungo… e per lungo non intendo anni, ma anche solo almeno una settimana… ma intanto ho già 1 pagina, che è più di 0, quindi pure se andrà male sarà andata bene, credo.)

Hive0154, aka Mustang Panda, drops updated Toneshell backdoor and novel SnakeDisk USB worm


  • Throughout mid-2025, X-Force observed several Toneshell and Pubload malware variants in weaponized archives mostly uploaded from Singapore and Thailand.
  • One of the variants evading VirusTotal detections is the latest update "Toneshell9". It supports command and control (C2) communication through locally configured proxies to blend in with enterprise network traffic and facilitates two reverse shells in parallel.
  • X-Force analyzed a new USB worm, SnakeDisk, which only executes on devices located in Thailand, based on their IP address. The worm displays code overlaps with Tonedisk and is able to detect new and existing USB devices, which it weaponizes as a means of propagation.
  • The analyzed SnakeDisk sample drops the Yokai backdoor on infected devices, which sets up a reverse shell allowing operators to execute arbitrary commands. Yokai was previously tied to campaigns targeting Thai officials in December 2024.
