Going Dark
As you might be aware, for a couple of years now Spies of all sorts, but particularly Cops, have been able to use a $15,000 tool called a “GrayKey” from a company called “GrayShift” to access the data on your iPhone by using a brute force technique that exploits flaws in Apple’s USB/Lightning Port. Apple …

2018 World Series Game 2: Dodgers @ Red Sox
A Tale from The Walking City Don’t get me wrong, Boston has an excellent Above/Below Ground Transit System usually called just the “T”. It’s cheap and reasonably kempt, the main problem is it doesn’t run 24/7 (or at least it didn’t). So a bunch of friends and I were at a Show in Harvard Square …

Know Your Terrorists
Well, the predictable “False Flag” excuse has been raised by the predictable apologists for the entirely predictable violence of Trump’s and the Republicans Far Right Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (MVSN or Voluntary Militia for National Security, commonly called Blackshirts) and Sturmabteilung (SA or Storm Detachment, commonly called Brownshirts Fascists.

2018 World Series Game 1: Dodgers @ Red Sox
A Tale from the Athens of America To lead off there are 33 other Countries in América del Sur y Central and one that’s 3.5% larger to the North, so “America” is hardly descriptive of our geographic location which is why I prefer “United States”. It shows what Bostonians think of themselves though and the …

Violent Mobs
I suppose it’s because Right Wing violence is ubiquitous that it’s mostly ignored by the Corporatist Media (more than a few Racists, Misogynists, and Bigots in their ranks too, especially at the higher Executive levels). It’s a ‘Dog Bites Man’ story. Should a handful of “Antifa Protesters” break a window or burn an unoccupied car …

Candygram
Knock, Knock, Knock. Who’s there? Candygram. Look, I’m 120+ years old. Of course I remember the first season of SNL. Unfortunately a lot of the sketches aren’t on YouTube, including “Land Shark”.
