This morning, the FBI raided the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson, reportedly in connection with an investigation of a system administrator accused of accessing and taking home classified intelligence reports.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF).
“This is an alarming escalation in the Trump administration’s multipronged war on press freedom. The Department of Justice (and the judge who approved this outrageous warrant) is either ignoring or distorting the Privacy Protection Act, which bars law enforcement from raiding newsrooms and reporters to search for evidence of alleged crimes by others, with very few inapplicable exceptions.
“The government has said that Natanson is not under investigation, nor should she be for simply reporting information provided to her by sources. Even the Trump DOJ’s guidelines on searching reporters’ source materials (which were weakened from prior guidelines based on the administration’s proven lies about “fake news”) make clear that it’s a last resort for rare emergencies only. The administration may now be in possession of volumes of journalist communications having nothing to do with any pending investigation and, if investigators are able to access them, we have zero faith that they will respect journalist-source confidentiality.”

La Commissione carcere della sezione di Istanbul dell’Associazione degli avvocati per la libertà (OHD) ha pubblicato il suo rapporto semestrale sulle carceri nella regione turca di Marmara, chiedendo un processo di riforma globale basato sul rispetto dei diritti umani, “a partire dalle carceri e estendendosi a tutte le istituzioni statali”.
Il rapporto intitolato “Violazioni dei diritti umani nelle carceri della regione di Marmara”, copre il periodo da luglio a dicembre 2025 ed è stato annunciato in una conferenza stampa tenutasi presso la sede dell’associazione nel quartiere Beyoğlu di Istanbul.
Intervenendo all’evento, Şeyma Önal, membro dell’OHD ha affermato che la commissione ha documentato violazioni dei diritti umani durante le visite mensili a 17 carceri. Ha elencato problemi persistenti, tra cui la mancanza di riscaldamento adeguato durante i mesi invernali, l’isolamento, le restrizioni alla partecipazione dei detenuti alle attività, le continue perquisizioni corporali, l’accesso limitato ai libri, il divieto di pubblicazioni in lingua curda e le difficoltà nei ricoveri ospedalieri.
Lei ha osservato che, nonostante le aspettative sollevate dalla commissione parlamentare istituita nell’ambito del Processo per la pace e la società democratica avviato in seguito all’appello di Abdullah Öcalan del 27 febbraio, non si è registrato alcun miglioramento significativo nelle condizioni carcerarie.
“Sebbene questo processo sia in corso da più di un anno, purtroppo constatiamo che le violazioni dei diritti nelle carceri non sono diminuite”, ha affermato Şeyma Önal e ha aggiunto: “Il persistere di queste violazioni ha un impatto negativo non solo sui detenuti, ma sulla società nel suo complesso e sulle speranze di pace”.
Ha affermato che nelle carceri non vengono rispettati gli standard legali nazionali e internazionali, aggiungendo che non sono state apportate modifiche legislative per quanto riguarda i prigionieri malati e che i prigionieri politici sono esclusi dalle normative vigenti.
“Gli ostacoli che impediscono ai prigionieri malati di accedere alle cure mediche devono essere rimossi immediatamente e i prigionieri gravemente malati devono essere rilasciati senza indugio, accogliendo le loro richieste di rinvio della pena”, ha affermato Şeyma Önal.
Şeyma Önal ha inoltre sottolineato che il rilascio dei detenuti aventi diritto alla libertà vigilata è bloccato da quelle che ha descritto come decisioni arbitrarie e soggettive delle Commissioni amministrative e di osservazione penitenziaria. Secondo il rapporto, è stata impedita la liberazione condizionale di 74 detenuti nelle carceri della regione di Marmara.
Riferendosi nuovamente alla dichiarazione di Abdullah Öcalan del 27 febbraio, Şeyma Önal ha affermato che l’appello sottolineava il riconoscimento di “una politica democratica e di un quadro giuridico”, ma Abdullah Öcalan continua a essere detenuto in isolamento sull’isola di Imralı. “Affinché questo appello trovi risposta, il regime di isolamento su Imralı deve essere revocato e devono essere create le condizioni affinché Öcalan possa contribuire alla pace sociale”, ha affermato.
Şeyma Önal ha criticato il decimo pacchetto di riforma giudiziaria attualmente all’ordine del giorno, affermando che è insufficiente ed esclude i prigionieri politici dal suo ambito di applicazione. Ha concluso: “Le pratiche discriminatorie e arbitrarie nelle carceri devono cessare immediatamente. Lo Stato deve adempiere ai propri obblighi costituzionali e legali e porre fine a tutte le violazioni dei diritti dei prigionieri, in particolare all’isolamento”.
In segno di protesta contro gli attacchi ai quartieri curdi di Aleppo, le Madri della Pace si sono radunate davanti al Ministero degli Esteri ad Ankara. Nonostante il blocco della polizia, hanno chiesto la fine della guerra in Rojava e le dimissioni del Ministro degli Esteri.
Le esponenti del Consiglio delle Madri per la Pace hanno protestato ad Ankara contro gli attacchi ai quartieri a maggioranza curda di Aleppo, nel nord della Siria. L’iniziativa ha viaggiato da diverse città fino alla capitale turca per rilasciare una dichiarazione davanti al Ministero degli Esteri, ma è stata impedita dalle barricate della polizia.
Il gruppo ha protestato in particolare contro il ruolo del Ministro degli Esteri turco Hakan Fidan, il cui sostegno pubblico all’operazione ad Aleppo è considerato dalle Madri per la Pace un contributo alla violenza. Dietro uno striscione con la scritta “Em dayik rê nadin şer” (Noi madri non cederemo alla guerra), hanno scandito slogan come “Il Rojava è il nostro onore”, “Non vogliamo la guerra, vogliamo la pace” e “Hakan Fidan deve dimettersi”.
Nonostante il blocco della polizia, le madri hanno rilasciato la loro dichiarazione. Havva Kıran, portavoce del gruppo, ha dichiarato: “Siamo venute qui come Madri della Pace affinché nessuna madre perda di nuovo suo figlio. Ad Aleppo, una donna è stata assassinata e gettata da un edificio: questo non è Islam, questa è barbarie. Chiediamo alle autorità turche e alla comunità internazionale: fermate questa guerra. Se la guerra inizia ad Ankara, la pace deve essere creata anche qui”.
Emine Eren, un’altra Madre della Pace, ha affermato nel suo discorso: “Nel Rojava è in corso una guerra che ignora la vita umana. La Turchia ha addestrato gruppi armati e li ha inviati in guerra. Questa guerra è un crimine contro l’umanità. Chiediamo le dimissioni del Ministro degli Esteri. Il sangue dei bambini curdi non deve essere parte di accordi politici”. Eren si è anche rivolta all’opinione pubblica internazionale con le parole: “Al-Jolani non è altro che l’ISIS, e la Turchia lo sostiene. Ancora una volta: vogliamo la pace, non accordi a spese dei curdi”.
Meryem Soylu, membro del consiglio direttivo dell’organizzazione umanitaria MEBYA-DER, che sostiene i parenti delle vittime di guerra, ha lanciato l’allarme per un’escalation di violenza da parte delle milizie islamiste: “Se ai gruppi dell’ISIS verrà nuovamente concesso spazio per massacri, questi si diffonderanno in tutto il mondo. Ogni persona che si considera umana deve condannare queste atrocità”.
Running for the Democratic Party nomination, Drew is a fighter and a champion to the causes of the United States Pirate Party.
Drew took on the reigns of captain in August of 2023 and steered the ship back on course in a time of choppy waters. Under his leadership, the Pirate Party held its first in-person conference, endorsed a Presidential candidate for the first time since 2008, and saw the additions of Texas and Florida to the Pirate National Committee.
As his successor, and this is Jolly Mitch speaking, I can promise you that Drew Bingaman’s leadership shaped my opinion of what makes a good leader. Drew’s steady hand, honesty and commitment to betterment are qualities I can only hope to emulate as Captain, and that those qualities are sure to shine as candidate for PA 108.
If his time in the Pirate Party has been any indication, residents of PA’s 108th District have the opportunity to take on a leader that’s truly anti-corruption, pro-common-sense-and-common-folk, and unafraid to speak the truth.
You can see the meeting in which we endorsed Drew here.
Mentre si avvicina la fine dell’anno, presentiamo i manoscritti e i libri sottratti nel 2025 all’esportazione e pervenuti alla Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Firenze nel 2025 per acquisto coattivo, l’atto ablatorio attraverso il quale il Ministero della Cultura, attraverso la Direzione Generale Biblioteche e Istituti culturali, le Soprintendenze e le Biblioteche statali, può acquisire cose di interesse culturale, presentate in Ufficio Esportazione. Sono stati bloccati in Ufficio Esportazione di Firenze, acquistati e destinati alla BncF:
un manoscritto autografo di Gaetano Donizetti dell’opera L’elisir d’amore (MUS. Mss. 160a) che contiene la partitura per baritono elaborata in occasione di una ripresa parigina dell’opera; di quel brano era nota solo la stesura per voce e pianoforte pubblicata da un editore parigino e nessuna delle versioni era, come questo documento, strumentata per orchestra; alla partitura sono allegate tre foto di Enrico Calzolari (MUS. Mss. 160b, MUS. Mss. 160c e MUS. Mss. 160d);
I volumi, manoscritti e a stampa, vanno così ad aggiungersi a quelli pervenuti per acquisto coattivo tra il 2016 e il 2024, oggetto proprio un anno fa di una mostra, Acquisti Coattivi 2016-2024, il cui catalogo è consultabile sul nostro sito, a dimostrazione della vitalità e della continuità di questo aspetto particolare dell’attività di tutela svolta dal Ministero della Cultura, nelle sue articolazioni centrali e periferiche.

Il personale delle Sale di Consultazione ha completato la catalogazione dei circa duemila opuscoli di Statistiche giudiziarie pubblicati tra l’ultimo ventennio del XIX secolo e l’ultimo ventennio del XX secolo conservati nel settore pubblicazioni minori (cosiddetto Gruppi) e consultabili presso le Sale di Consultazione.
Le statistiche giudiziarie sono pubblicazioni ufficiali e riportano dati quantitativi relativi all’attività giudiziaria: numero dei procedimenti, tipologie di reati, numero di imputati, condanne, fasi processuali, durata dei processi, etc. Sono prodotte da enti governativi, tra cui la Direzione Generale di Statistica, Ministero di Grazia e Giustizia, con l’obiettivo di restituire un’immagine dell’efficienza, dell’attività e dell’andamento della giustizia e fornire all’amministrazione statale dati utili da diffondere, anche a livello internazionale, e da utilizzare per impostare realistiche riforme dello Stato.
Nella prima metà del Novecento, la redazione di statistiche riguarda sia la giustizia penale che quella civile e commerciale, in alcuni casi anche la statistica notarile; si tratta di documenti prodotti perlopiù annualmente o relativamente a specifici anni (es. Statistica giudiziaria penale per l’anno 1900) e ogni pubblicazione è articolata in varie sezioni: parte narrativa (introduzione statistica, commenti) e parte numerica costituita da tabelle, prospetti, grafici. Il linguaggio è tecnico-statistico stemperato a tratti da modi di natura più letteraria. Tali opuscoli erano pubblicati dalla Tipografia nazionale, o da tipografie statali /ministeriali, spesso con anni di ritardo tra l’anno di riferimento dei dati e la pubblicazione.
Si tratta di fonti preziose per gli studi storici in quanto riportano:
analisi quantitative che informano in merito all’evoluzione del sistema giudiziario (es. incremento dei procedimenti, modifiche delle pene e dei tipi di reato);
studi comparativi fra regioni e territori (quando i dati sono dettagliati territorialmente);
valutazioni degli effetti delle riforme legislative (es. modifiche al codice penale e al codice di procedura penale, l’istituzione del pretore etc.);
studi sociali più ampi: correlazioni con criminalità, urbanizzazione, migrazione, crescita demografica, fenomeni economici.
Alcuni limiti da prendere in considerazione per questo tipo di fonte documentaria sono:
il cambiamento dei criteri nella classificazione di delitti e reati;
la copertura informativa territoriale non sempre uniforme, a seconda delle risposte più o meno accurate fornite dagli uffici giudiziari locali;
l’indisponibilità dei dati: non sempre sono incluse tutte le tabelle;
il ritardo nella pubblicazione;
le condizioni del contesto storico (guerre, cambiamenti politici, crisi) possono incidere notevolmente sul risultato delle rilevazioni.
Questo tipo di pubblicazione è oggi rara da reperire ed è per questo motivo che la Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Firenze ha ritenuto opportuno catalogare l’intera sezione così da renderla facilmente accessibile. Tra gli Istituti che possono conservare questo tipo di materiale sono le biblioteche nazionali centrali, quindi sia BNCF che BNCR, le biblioteche universitarie (Roma, Firenze, Milano, ecc.), la biblioteca dell’ISTAT, gli archivi di stato e quelli delle regioni.
Scientists have debated the origin of the dots for years. Now, researchers say they’re “cocoons” for the youngest black holes we’ve ever seen.

Strange ‘Little Red Dots’ in Space Have a Mind-Boggling Explanation, Scientists Discover
🌘 Subscribe to 404 Media to get The Abstract, our newsletter about the most exciting and mind-boggling science news and studies of the week.
Astronomers think they have solved the puzzle of so-called “little red dots” in space, a population of bizarre objects at the very edge of the observable universe, according to a study published on Wednesday in Nature.
The new research suggests that these dots are likely the youngest black holes we have ever glimpsed, which are “cocooned” in dense gas, a never-before-seen phenomenon that sheds light on the early evolution of the universe.
“LRDs were first spotted in 2023 in the first images made with the James Webb Space Telescope,” said Vadim Rusakov, an astronomer at the University of Manchester, in an email to 404 Media. “People have very actively studied these objects since then.”
“They are tiny, bright and red objects seen when the universe was only about 5-15 percent of its current age,” he continued. “They have puzzled astronomers: on one hand, they are too compact and massive for normal galaxies, on the other, they do not look like typical supermassive black holes, because we do not detect their usual signals, such as X-rays. And they are not just a few odd apples—almost every tenth galaxy in the early universe is an LRD.”
These baffling properties have sparked spirited debate about the nature of LRDs. Some studies have suggested they might be exotic star-studded galaxies, or weirdly overmassive black holes.
Hoping to resolve the mystery, Rusakov and his colleagues analyzed JWST observations of more than a dozen of the little red dots across longer timescales. The team confirmed that the dots are likely black holes that are enshrouded by a “cocoon” of energetic gas that can explain their novel properties.
“Our simple solution is: we think that they are massive black holes wrapped in a thick cocoon of dense gas, which makes them appear red and hides the black hole,” Rusakov said. “This idea of the cocoon was inspired by another work that predicted the presence of thick gas. We could check this idea by studying the hydrogen emission from LRDs. This showed us that the cocoon is partly ionised—meaning it has lots of free electrons. This was a surprising discovery, because by scattering light, these electrons hid most useful black hole signals from our sight and also made it appear more evolved than it actually is.”
“By looking inside, we found that these are some of the youngest black holes ever seen,” he added. “This makes them unique laboratories for understanding how black holes got started in the early universe.” An image of little red dots from JADES 1 The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (Eisenstein et al. 2023). Image: The CEERS Survey/The JADES Survey/PRIMER Survey/Dawn JWST Archive In other words, it’s not that these objects aren’t radiating in X-rays, it’s just that those wavelengths are largely blotted out by the gassy cocoons. Moreover, the cocoons warp light from the black holes, making them seem much more massive than they actually are, like some kind of cosmic funhouse mirror. Rusakov and his colleagues calculated that the black holes are probably a few million times as massive as the Sun, more than a hundred times smaller than expected by their appearance.
The findings are part of a wave of discoveries about the early universe primarily fueled by the unparalleled precision and sensitivity of JWST’s infrared vision.
“The first JWST observations caused several debates about how galaxies formed in the early universe, such as whether galaxies grow quicker than we thought,” Rusakov explained. “In fact, some of those initially problematic galaxies turned out to be Little Red Dots. As our study shows, they were misinterpreted as purely stellar galaxies and they are supermassive black holes instead.”
As JWST continues to expose strange new frontiers of the universe, astronomers can determine which anomalies point to novel entities and which, like the little red dots, turn out to be familiar objects going through an unfamiliar phase.
Either way, each breakthrough raises new questions. Rusakov and his colleagues may have identified the origin of the little red dots, but it remains unclear whether these young black holes grow faster than the galaxies associated with them, and what that might mean for our understanding of galactic evolution.
“LRDs show us what the black holes looked like a long time ago, and if we are lucky, they may show us how these massive black holes got started,” Rusakov said. “Just to be clear, even though they are likely the youngest black holes we ever found, they already have masses of a few million Suns.”
“This opens up the next big questions: can we find even smaller black holes with the James Webb Space Telescope? Do black holes start tiny and grow or are they born already quite big?” he added. “These exciting questions will definitely keep us busy for some time.”

The highest-quality JWST spectra reveal that little red dots are young supermassive black holes shrouded in dense cocoons of ionized gas, where electron scattering, not Doppler motions, broadens their spectral lines.
How One Guy Crowdsourced More Than 500 Dashcams for Minneapolis to Film ICE
When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis. “The state apparatus, of course, has cameras everywhere,” Benson told 404 Media. “The citizens will also benefit from having the same cameras around to document what's going on and making sure that everything is on the up and up.”
In early January, the Trump administration sent 2,000 federal agents and officers to the Minneapolis area. DHS has said hundreds more are on the way. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump threatened Minnesota with a “DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION” in a Truth Social post. playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2… On January 7, two days after Benson put out his call for dashcams, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot legal observer Renee Good in the face. In the wake of that killing, multiple people have filmed agents threatening the lives of other observers.
Benson feels like he has to do something, so he gets dashcams into the hands of people who want them. “We need more documentation showing what these people are doing. Because I don't know—other than a compelling visual documentation of what's going on—I don't know what other tools we have until the legislative branch of our government can stand up and do its job and provide a check to all of this, because our state government can't,” he said. “So all we can do is collect evidence that this is happening and let people know about it.
Benson made it easy to buy the cameras. He set up an Amazon wishlist that has the dashcams and a 256gb memory card to go in them. People buy the equipment on Amazon and it shows up at Benson’s house. From there, he reaches out to local community organizers and gets them into the hands of people who want them. “I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said. “So we got them out fast, because we all understand exactly why we need those cameras, and we appreciate that support very much.”
Benson got the idea for the dashcam wishlist when ICE told local police that one of his friends was ramming their cars. “That was completely fabricated,” Benson told me. But there was no way to prove it. It was the word of the federal government against Benson’s friend. “Dashcams are the only way we can prevent that from happening.”
As ICE spreads across cities in the US and continues to disappear and kill people, citizens have taken to the streets to put themselves between the masked agents and their targets. These community observers use a variety of tactics, including blowing whistles to let people know ICE is in the area and recording everything and posting it online.
Benson runs the website JetTip, a flight alert service for aviation enthusiasts and it was through this work he first noticed how America was changing during Trump’s second term. “I got interested in all of the ICE things by tracking the flights that were coming in to take deportees away,” he said. “In addition to keeping track of those flights that are coming and going from the airport, I've been getting looped in with the community observation part of it.”
Benson lives in Burnsville, a Minneapolis suburb with a population of 60,000. He said that even here, ICE is a constant and terrifying presence. “There's more federal agents here now than there are local police,” he said. “And we know that they're not operating with respect to the rule of law. They're conducting warrantless door to door operations right now.”
The day after Ross shot Good, Benson was dropping his kids off at school when he noticed a man running down the road. At first he thought the man was jogging. “And then half a block down the way, there was the ICE agent who was running after him,” he said. “They were just right there when I'm driving my kids to school. And it was so frustrating and violating.”
Benson put the call for cameras on January 5, but saw an uptick in donations after the Good shooting. “It was immediately clear that ICE was lying about it, and people were looking for a way to reach out and make a difference from wherever they were in their community, and that Amazon wish list was a very low friction, easy way for people to make a constructive and tangible difference,” he said. “It was more than $75,000 worth of Dash cams that have been delivered to my house here now in Burnsville.”
From there, Benson plugged into local community organizations and got the cameras into the hands of his neighbors watching ICE. “We have to teach history or someone else will teach their version of it,” Jean, one of Benson’s dashcam recipients who spoke to 404 Media on the condition of pseudonymity for her safety, said. She said that one big plus of the dashcams is that it keeps observers hands on the wheel when they’re in their car. “This was safer. A lot of people were trying to record [on their phones] while driving.”
Jean started observing and recording ICE, and organizing others to do the same, after she witnessed a raid in December. She said that ICE brought more than two dozen cars, a tactical vehicle, and dozens of armed agents. “We have to make sure people are watching,” she said. “We have to make sure we’re keeping track of our community members.”
Letty, another ICE watcher in the area, learned about the community organizations in her area after the Renee Good shooting. After getting plugged in, they told her a man named Nick was giving out dashcams. “I think they’re a great tool and beneficial to anyone who is out patrolling and observing,” she said. “Hell, I think if you’re a person of color and vulnerable to being kidnapped, I strongly believe you should have one in one in your car even if you’re not in any [observation] groups.”
Letty, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, said the camera gives her a small amount of peace of mind. “But deep down I also know agents don’t care about whether you have one or not, “ she said. “I’ll never get rid of my dashcam now though. I feel like it adds another layer of safety.”
Benson isn’t done giving out cameras. “We need all of those cameras we can get to help the people who have the opportunity to stand up for what's right here and make sure that we're protected as best we can be from the federal government right now,” he said.
Benson said that the mood has changed in the neighborhood since ICE killed Renee Good. “My family were all immediately a lot more concerned about what I was doing, of course. It's hard when you see those videos of someone who was just out driving and ICE comes up to them and said, ‘Didn't you learn your lesson from the other day,” he said. "They're weaponizing this killing to prevent people from just existing in their neighborhood. Like, you can't even be near ICE while they're operating, because that means you didn't learn your lesson of them murdering someone who was there.”
Some ICE agents are reportedly using Good’s shooting as a threat: Videos captured by bystanders in the Minneapolis area this week shows agents asking if people have “learned from what just happened” while threatening them.
“It's upsetting, and it's just the next step in getting kicked in the guts by these guys,” Benson said. “I don't want to get in a situation where I've got a bunch of idiots yelling at me from outside of my car, possibly with guns drawn, and possibly giving me conflicting directions where they already have the outcome predetermined and my actions won't make any difference. That's the sort of thing that makes me really nervous: that they've already decided they need to make examples out of people.”
But Benson said he won’t give up. “We can't give up, and we can't stop doing everything we can to protect our neighbors, because we can't let them win.”
And so Benson hands out dashcams. “We’re in a situation right now where the only people that are helping are just good people, normal people, standing up and helping out the best way they can. That’s all they’ve got…what a stupid situation that we allowed this to get this far.”
Cop Used Flock to Wrongfully Accuse a Woman Then Refused to Look at Evidence That Exonerated Her, Body Camera Shows
A police officer in Colorado used evidence from Flock cameras to wrongfully accuse an innocent woman for package theft, then yelled at her on the phone when she told him she had evidence that exonerated her, according to body camera footage obtained by 404 Media.
The nightmare situation happened in September in Columbine Valley, Colorado and was first reported by The Colorado Sun, which obtained Ring camera footage from the woman, Chrisanna Elser, that showed an initial interaction with Sergeant Jamie Milliman at her home. 404 Media has obtained body camera footage of that interaction as well as footage from a phone call Milliman made to Elser after he gave her a court summons.
The incident highlights not only the extreme extent to which America’s cities and towns are surveilled, but also the fact that police believe this surveillance evidence, which in this case was used to wrongfully summons Elser to court, is infallible and bulletproof. It also shows that anyone can be caught in America’s surveillance dragnet; there is no safety in the idea that you have nothing to worry about if you have nothing to hide.
“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman told Elser and her husband at her home, referring to Flock automated license plate reader cameras in the nearby town of Bow Mar. He then told her the town’s Flock cameras had recorded her vehicle entering and leaving the town 20 times in the last month, including on Tuesday, September 22 “from 11:52 until 12:09, exactly,” he said. “Like I said, nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing about it … I have you on camera walking up, ringing the doorbell, taking the package, and literally running away. I have you on camera doing this … I get that this is a shock to you, but I am telling you, this is a lock, 100 percent no doubt she did this.”
But Elser didn’t do it. Elser was visiting her tailor’s home for a dress fitting, and didn’t steal the package. She had her Ring camera footage from her tailor’s house and footage from her Rivian vehicle to show that she didn’t steal the package, which she told Milliman on a phone call obtained by 404 Media.
“Why don’t you come on down and look at the video?” Elser said. Milliman refused to look at the video, and said “The next person you can tell is the judge or your lawyer. This is how this works. The judge or your lawyer.”
Elser asked to speak to his supervisor.
“I am the supervisor. That is it. There is no one else to talk to,” he said. “It is on camera many times. You’ve been served a summons … I will bring all of my evidence, the many, many, many, many videos, and you can bring yours. And if a judge says you didn’t do it then you didn’t do it.”
“What are going to be the repercussions when this is proven incorrectly and you’re wasting my fucking time?” Elser’s husband told Milliman on the call. youtube.com/embed/oBDuW7gCczs?… Elser and her husband also asked Milliman to show them the evidence he had, or to answer basic questions such as what the woman on the Flock cameras was wearing in the department’s video footage. “You’ll have to go to court for this information,” he said. “I can tell you. I am not going to tell you. I can tell you, but I am not going to tell you.”
“I’m going to go to the local police department,” Elser said.
“This is the local police department. I am the jurisdiction,” he responded.
“I want to talk to somebody today,” Elser said.
“Well, that is not going to happen. It’s not going to happen,” Milliman said.
“Yes, it can happen,” Elser said.
“I didn’t say it couldn’t happen. I said it’s not going to happen,” he said.
“No, no, it can happen,” Elser said.
“I agree it can, but it’s not going to,” he said. “You’re not talking to anybody else.”
Elser continues to explain that she has footage from her vehicle showing where she was, and that she was at her tailor’s house, not stealing a package.
“By the way, if your truck has GPS, I will simply request records from Rivian and do a court order to have those sent to me. I don’t care where your truck was. I care where you were. Your truck didn’t take the package, you did. Do you understand that? Your truck did not ring the doorbell. Your truck did not walk away with the package. You did. It doesn’t matter where the truck was. It matters where you were.”
“But you’re showing me a picture of my truck,” Elser said. “You didn’t show me a picture of me.”
Later in the conversation, Milliman says “I have been doing this for 27 years. I have probable cause because I saw you. You can laugh and giggle all you want, but I have video of you. This is going nowhere because you’re not being truthful with me. If you want to be truthful with me, you know how to get a hold of me. Other than that, you have a good rest of your day.” He then hangs up the phone. youtube.com/embed/Yz16swILvzE?… Milliman was disciplined with “extra training” after the incident, according to The Colorado Sun. A reprimand letter given to Milliman and obtained by The Colorado Sun noted that he exhibited “rude behavior,” and that his actions were “unprofessional and inconsistent with the standards expected of a sworn officer.” Milliman and the Columbine Valley police department did not respond to a request for comment.
Elser shared an additional voicemail with 404 Media that Milliman left her a day after the call in which he refused to look at her evidence. In this follow-up call, Milliman completely changed his tone and said he would be willing to look at her evidence: “Yesterday when we had talked, you had mentioned that you had some exonerating video and I mentioned you had my email. I would love to see it,” the voicemail says. “In the interest of justice and to make things right, I would love to go above and beyond and see anything that could possibly take away my probable cause for issuing the summons.”
Two weeks later, she sent an email to police chief Bret Cottrell containing evidence from her Rivian's cameras, her tailor's Ring camera, and a detailed timeline of events. Cottrell responded and said that they would be dropping the case: “After reviewing the evidence you have provided (nicely done btw), we have voided the summons that was issued," he wrote. "We have double checks with Jefferson County courts and the case was not yet entered into the system, therefore, there is no record on file. Thank you for getting back to us with the evidence you said you would be able to provide.”
In a phone interview, Elser told 404 Media that it feels like “they’ll talk to convicted murderers and rapists in a nicer way than they’ll talk to me about a $25 package and me saying ‘I have evidence I can show you and we can end this.’”
She said that she eventually saw video of the person taking the package.
“From a distance, I’m like, ‘kind of it was like my outfit I was wearing at the time,’ but my truck isn’t there at all, she had a shaved head, she’s much younger, had earrings on and all that,” she said. Elser said that before this experience, she was “very big on surveillance, and knowing we have cameras in our house because if something happens, I wanna know how it happens. Maybe not even a crime against me, but maybe my animals knocked something over and I wanted to know who.” She said that she has dash cams because she’d been involved in multiple hit-and-run car accidents.
“Honestly, I was one of those people that believed, ‘well, if you’re not doing anything wrong, what’s the big deal?’ But here’s a situation where I was doing absolutely nothing wrong, and I almost lost my entire career over this,” she said. “I’ve lost trust for law enforcement … I mean I love the Flock stories where they help out with saving a kid, and I look at them and go ‘yeah, you did that, but you’re not using the technology right.’”
“The overreach of this technology is the biggest concern. Just having it out there is scary, it’s too much,” she added. “It’s changed my mind immensely.”
We talk all about Webloc, ICE's tool for monitoring phone locations; the continuing Grok abuse wave; and how police unwittingly revealed millions of Flock surveillance targets.

Fake images of LeBron James, iShowSpeed, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and even Nicolás Maduro show them in bed with AI-generated influencers.#News #Meta #Instagram #AI
Instagram AI Influencers Are Defaming Celebrities With Sex Scandals
AI generated influencers are sharing fake images on Instagram that appear to show them having sex with celebrities like LeBron James, iShowSpeed, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. One AI influencer even shared an image of her in bed with Venezuela’s president Nicolás Maduro. The images are AI generated but are not disclosed as such, and funnel users to an adult content site where the AI generated influencers sell nude images.
This recent trend is the latest strategy from the growing business of monetizing AI generated porn by harvesting attention on Instagram with shocking or salacious content. As with previous schemes we’ve covered, the Instagram posts that pretend to show attractive young women in bed with celebrities are created without the celebrities’ consent and are not disclosed as being AI generated, violating two of Instagram’s policies and showing once again that Meta is unable or unwilling to reign in AI generated content on its platform.
Most of the Reels in this genre that I have seen follow a highly specific formula and started to appear around December 2025. First, we see a still image of an AI-generated influencer next to a celebrity, often in the form of a selfie with both of them looking at the camera. The text on the screen says “How it started.” Then, the video briefly cuts to another still image or videos of the AI generated influencer and the celebrity post coitus, sweaty, with tussled hair and sometimes smeared makeup. Many of these posts use the same handful of audio clips. Since Instagram allows users to browse Reels that use the same audio, clicking on one of these will reveal dozens of examples of similar Reels.
LeBron James and adult film star Johnny Sins are frequent targets of these posts, but I’ve also seen similar Reels with the likeness of Twitch streamer iShowSpeed, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, MMA fighters Jon Jones and Connor McGregor, soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, and many others, far too many to name them all. The AI influencer accounts obviously don’t care whether it's believable that these fake women are actually sleeping with celebrities and will include any known person who is likely to earn engagement. Amazingly, one AI influencer applied the same formula to Venezuela’s president Maduro shortly after he was captured by the United States. These Instagram Reels frequently have hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of views. A post from one of these AI influencers that shows her in bed with Jon Jones has has 7.7 million views. A video showing another AI influencer in a bed with iShowSpeed has 14.5 million views.
Users who stumble upon one of these videos might be inclined to click on the AI-influencer's username to check her bio and see if she has an OnlyFans account, as is the case with many adult content creators who promote their work on Instagram. What these users will find is an account bio that doesn’t disclose its AI generated, and a link to Fanvue, an OnlyFans competitor with more permissive policies around AI generated content. On Fanvue, these accounts do disclose that they are “AI-generated or enhanced,” and sell access to nude images and videos.
Meta did not respond to a request for comment, but removed some of the Reels I flagged.
Posting provocative AI generated media in order to funnel eyeballs to adult content platforms where AI generated porn can be monetized is now an established business. Sometimes, these AI influencers steal directly from real adult content creators by faceswapping themselves into their existing videos. Once in a while a new “meta” strategy for AI influencers will emerge and dominate the algorithm. For example, last year I wrote about people using AI to create influencers with down syndrome who sell nudes.
Notably, celebrities are better equipped than adult content creators to take on AI accounts that are using their likeness without consent, and last year LeBron James, a frequent target of this latest meta, sent a cease-and-desist notice to a company that was making AI videos of him and sharing them on Instagram.

THIS IS DIGITAL POLITICS. But it's not Monday. I'm Mark Scott, and I apologize for the one-day delay in this week's newsletter. I've come down with what I really hope isn't Covid-19, so please forgive any typos in the dispatch below. Normal Monday transmission resumes next week.
— New polling suggests European citizens may not be as keen about the bloc's digital revamp as policymakers and industry.
— The United States' departure from more than 60 international organizations is another death knell in the open, interoperable internet.
– Despite global efforts, the US still dominates the market for data centers.
The cache hierarchy of the 2008 Intel Nehalem x86 architecture. (Source: Intel) Writing good, performant code depends strongly on an understanding of the underlying hardware. This is especially the case in scenarios like those involving embarrassingly parallel processing, which at first glance ought to be a cakewalk. With multiple threads doing their own thing without having to nag the other threads about anything it seems highly doubtful that even a novice could screw this up. Yet as [Keifer] details in a recent video on so-called false sharing, this is actually very easy, for a variety of reasons.
With a multi-core and/or multi-processor system each core has its own local cache that contains a reflection of the current values in system RAM. If any core modifies its cached data, this automatically invalidates the other cache lines, resulting a cache miss for those cores and forcing a refresh from system RAM. This is the case even if the accessed data isn’t one that another core was going to use, with an obvious impact on performance.
The worst case scenario as detailed and demonstrated using the Google Benchmark sample projects, involves a shared global data structure, with a recorded hundred times reduction in performance. Also noticeable is the impact on scaling performance, with the cache misses becoming more severe with more threads running.
A less obvious cause of performance loss here is due to memory alignment and how data fits in the cache lines. Making sure that your data is aligned in e.g. data structures can prevent more unwanted cache invalidation events. With most applications being multi-threaded these days, it’s a good thing to not only know how to diagnose false sharing issues, but also how to prevent them.
The balance bikes toddlers are rocking these days look like great fun, but not so great in the snow. Rather than see his kid’s favourite toy relegated to shed until spring, [John Boss] added electric power, and an extra wheel to make one fun-looking snow trike. Like a boss, you might say.
Physically, the trike is a delta configuration: two rear wheels and one front, though as you can see the front wheel has been turned into a ski. That’s not the most stable configuration, but by shifting the foot pegs to the front wheel and keeping the electronics down low, [John] is able to maintain a safe center of gravity. He’s also limiting the throttle so kiddo can’t go dangerously fast– indeed, the throttle control is in the rear electronics component. The kid just has a big green “go” button.
Bit-banging the throttle, combined with the weight of the kiddo up front, creates a strong tendency towards wheel-spin, but [John] fixes that with a some cleverly printed TPU paddles zip-tied to the harbor-freight wheels and tires he’s hacked into use. Those wheels are fixed to a solid axle that’s mounted to flat plate [John] had made up to attach to the bike frame. It’s all surprisingly solid, given that [John] is able to demonstrate the safety factor by going for a spin of his own. We would have done the same.
An audio amplifier was once a fairly simple analogue device, but in recent decades a typical home entertainment amplifier will have expanded to include many digital functions. When these break they are often proprietary and not easy to repair, as was the case with a broken Pioneer surround-sound device given to [Boz]. It sat on the shelf for a few years until he had the idea of a jukebox for his ripped CDs, and his returning it to life with a new main board is something to behold.
Internally it’s a surprisingly modular design, meaning that the front panel with its VFD display and driver were intact and working, as were the class AB amplifier and its power supply. He had the service manual so reverse engineering was straightforward, thus out came the main board in favor of a replacement. He took the original connectors and a few other components, then designed a PCB to take them and a Raspberry Pi Pico and DAC. With appropriate MMBASIC firmware it looks as though it was originally made this way, a sense heightened by a look at the motherboard inside (ignoring a couple of bodges).

È una soluzione cinica ma coerente: non il silenzio del cosmo, bensì il nostro. Il paradosso di Fermi nasce come una domanda scientifica, ma resiste da decenni perché tocca un nervo scoperto: l’idea che l’universo sia pieno di vita e che, nonostante questo, nessuno ci risponda. Per molto tempo abbiamo cercato spiegazioni rassicuranti, legate ai limiti tecnologici, alle distanze astronomiche, alla rarità delle condizioni necessarie alla vita intelligente. Abbiamo immaginato civiltà spazzate via prima di poter comunicare, pianeti sterili, errori di calcolo. Ma esiste una lettura più semplice e, proprio per questo, più disturbante: non siamo soli, siamo solo indesiderati. Se ci osservano, vedono una specie tecnologicamente brillante e moralmente immatura, capace di produrre strumenti potentissimi senza una visione condivisa del loro uso. Vedono un pianeta che trasmette nello spazio non tanto segnali di intelligenza, quanto rumore, ripetizione, aggressività, autocompiacimento. Vedono una civiltà che confonde informazione con conoscenza e visibilità con valore. Dal loro punto di vista, la nostra crescita appare sbilanciata: enorme sul piano tecnico, fragile su quello etico. Abbiamo imparato a controllare l’energia prima di controllare noi stessi, a moltiplicare le connessioni senza approfondire le relazioni, a simulare il pensiero senza chiarire cosa significhi davvero comprendere. In questa chiave, il famoso “grande filtro” non è un evento cosmico, ma una soglia interiore. Non un’esplosione, ma una scelta. L’isolamento deliberato diventa allora una strategia di sopravvivenza per civiltà che hanno già attraversato la nostra fase evolutiva e ne riconoscono i pericoli. Interagire con una specie ancora dominata dall’ego, dalla competizione distruttiva e dalla mitologia del potere significherebbe alterarne il percorso o esserne trascinati. Così come noi evitiamo di interferire con ecosistemi instabili o popolazioni non pronte al contatto, loro evitano noi. Non per arroganza, ma per responsabilità. Il silenzio cosmico assume allora un significato diverso: non è assenza di vita, ma presenza di limite. È una forma di attesa, una quarantena cosmica che non ha una data di fine prestabilita. Forse il criterio non è il livello tecnologico, ma la maturità collettiva. Forse non si entra nella conversazione galattica finché non si dimostra di saper ascoltare, cooperare, preservare ciò che si crea. In questo scenario, il paradosso di Fermi smette di essere un problema astronomico e diventa uno specchio antropologico. Non chiede dove siano gli altri, ma chi siamo noi visti da fuori. Siamo una civiltà che usa l’intelligenza per comprendere o solo per dominare? Siamo capaci di trasformare il sapere in saggezza o restiamo prigionieri della performance? Forse il primo vero contatto non avverrà quando intercetteremo un segnale alieno, ma quando ridurremo il rumore che produciamo. Forse arriverà quando la tecnologia tornerà a essere strumento e non identità, quando la potenza sarà accompagnata da misura, quando il progresso non sarà più una corsa cieca ma una direzione condivisa. Fino ad allora, il silenzio dell’universo non è un rifiuto definitivo. È un invito implicito a crescere. È una pausa carica di significato. È la prova che, prima di cercare altri mondi, dobbiamo rendere abitabile il nostro.

Formattazione post con titolo leggibili da Mastodon
Come forse saprai già, con Friendica possiamo scegliere di scrivere post con il titolo (come su WordPress) e post senza titolo (come su Mastodon). Uno dei problemi più fastidiosi per chi desidera scrivere post con il titolo è il fatto che gli utenti Mastodon leggeranno il tuo post come se fosse costituito dal solo titolo e, due a capi più in basso, dal link al post originale: questo non è di certo il modo miglior per rendere leggibili e interessanti i tuoi post!
Gli utenti Mastodon infatti hanno molti limiti di visualizzazione, ma sono pur sempre la comunità più grande del Fediverso e perciò è importante che vedano correttamente i vostri post: poter contare sulla loro visibilità è un'opportunità per aggiungere ulteriori possibilità di interazioni con altre persone.
Fortunatamente, con le ultime release di Friendica abbiamo la possibilità di modificare un'impostazione per rendere perfettamente leggibili anche i post con il titolo. Ecco come fare:
A) dal proprio account bisogna andare alla pagina delle impostazioni e, da lì, alla voce "Social Network" al link poliverso.org/settings/connect… B) Selezionando la prima sezione "Impostazione media sociali" e scorrendo in basso si può trovare la voce "Article Mode", con un menu a cascataC) Delle tre voci disponibili bisogna scegliere "Embed the title in the body"

I bot social sono un problema noto nella società odierna. Sono influenzati da una varietà di fattori, che vanno dalla presenza di bot alla mancanza di interazione tra bot e utenti. Questo articolo propone un approccio multipiattaforma per il rilevamento dei bot social basato su metadati del profilo e incorporamenti di testo, applicato agli account utente di Twitter, Mastodon e Bluesky. Il modello risultante raggiunge un'accuratezza del 97,39% in un'attività di classificazione a quattro classi, superando diverse linee di base consolidate, inclusi approcci basati su grafici e federati, pur essendo computazionalmente efficiente. Il contributo principale di questo lavoro è la dimostrazione che le caratteristiche utente possono supportare un'efficace classificazione dei bot in ambienti eterogenei e decentralizzati, dimostrando la fattibilità della generalizzazione interdominio su larga scala. Presentiamo inoltre un nuovo set di dati che combina account bot e non bot autoidentificati da piattaforme decentralizzate.
Il set di dati creato per questo studio è disponibile su richiesta. I ricercatori interessati possono contattare l'autore corrispondente all'indirizzo fran.moreno@upm.es. Il set di dati non include componenti derivati da Cresci et al. (2017).
