It seems WSJ doesn't understand what an ISP is. They cite Cisco and Microsoft as affected, neither of which are ISPs unless I missed something somewhere.

Also:
Last week, U.S. officials said they had disrupted a network of more than 200,000 routers, cameras and other internet-connected consumer devices that served as an entry point into U.S. networks for a China-based hacking group called Flax Typhoon.

Eric Adams just got indicted


Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe that has shaken his administration, sources told The Post.

The historic indictment of the first sitting mayor of New York City is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources. The news was first reported by The New York Times.

Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.

“I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement to The Post.

“If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”


A rep for the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which is prosecuting the case, declined to comment.


Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but are believed to be connected to allegations of the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign, according to sources.

Wasn't Eric Adams somewhat liked by the people of New York? Would the indictment affect the election odds for that state?

His whole mayoral administration has been having quite a few investigations into it for some time now. So far his chief fundraiser has had her home raided and some belongings seized, his police commissioner resigned and had his phone seized, his legal counsel resigned, his deputy commissioner resigned and his deputy commissioner's twin brother got his phone seized. The deputy mayor of New York City for public safety and his brother, the schools chancellor, are being investigated for a possible bribery scheme. His Asians affairs advisor is being investigated by the FBI. A senior advisor got his phone seized. Finally, the deputy mayor got her phone seized.

Adams himself being indicted is the cherry on top of everything else at this point.

He WAS for a brief microsecond when he was first elected (see: the cult of "vote blue no matter who"). However, he's such an extreme fuckup whose monkeyshines know no bounds, that he's thusly attacked by all sides. Despite being a barely-literate negro who speaks in ebonics, an actual DEI hire, a Democrat, a police-defunder, and defender of pedos (see his tweet honoring the legacy of Joseph Rosenbaum), even Redditards on r/nyc hate his guts. Speaking empirically and powerleveling a bit, one of my close relatives is a leftoid gay Zoomer who lives in Manhattan -- and he hates Eric Adams as much as Trump.

The funny thing is, though, shitlibs on social media hate Adams so bad that they deny he's a Democrat. They seriously try to argue that he's a DINO, or a Republican infiltrator who got elected to corrupt NYC from within. Any time you look up various anti-Adams threads on r/nyc, it's a big circlejerk of Redditards seething at the mayor they proudly elected whilst claiming he's technically not really a Democrat. Sort by "controversial" to see any comments about Eric Adams being a Democrat and elections having consequences being downvoted and ratioed with angry trannies saying, "Um, actually he's not a Democrat, he's just a corrupt RepubliKKKan who infiltrated our party and won an election. I bet he has ties to Russia. just like Blumpf."

Has anyone posted the Rosanne Barr/ Tucker live show from today? Miss Barr is batshit fucking insane, and probably right about everything.

Haven't seen it yet but Roseanne is batshit insane but I can't help but love her anyway. Her sitcom still stands up today, too. Still funny, still sweet. A good watch.

Edit: Holy shit was not expecting Roseanne to call Kamala a prostitute.
