She's electric! In politics I've never seen such a sudden instantaneous jolt of energy and enthusiasm happen basically overnight! iirc even Obama didn't get quite as many people excited as quickly as Harris is doing! iirc even several weeks after Obama got the nomination there were still a good amount of nay sayers and fence sitters
Don’t get me wrong. I’m extremely happy for the change, but I think the excitement you’re seeing is more indicative of how much anxiety everyone was feeling about the future of this country if Biden stubbornly stayed in, and the sudden wave of relief they’re feeling now. If Biden hadn’t decided to run again at let the primary process do it’s job to select a candidate, we might now have someone even better positioned to defeat Trump.
The stories I could tell about how companies will hire a team to run tests on their digital and physical systems while also limiting access to outside nodes disconnected or screened from their core, primary, IMPORTANT systems.
Kicker is that plenty of people who work for these companies get it. Very rarely does someone in a position to do something about it actually understand. A few thousand dollars and they could have hired a hat or two to run penetration on systems and fixed the vulnerabilities, or at least shored them up so this fucking 000 bug didn’t impact them so harshly.
I’m not sure any kind of pentest would prevent crowdstrikes backdoor access to release updates at its own discretion and cadence. The only way to avoid that would be blocking crowdstrike from accessing the Internet but I’d bet they’d 100% brick the host over letting that happen. If anything this is a good lesson in not installing malware to prevent even worse malware. You handed the keys to your security to a party that clearly doesn’t care and paid the price. My reaction to that legal disclaimer of crowdstrikes stating they take no responsibility for anything they do… responsibility is the only reason anyone would buy anything from them (aside from being forced by legal requirements that clearly didn’t have anyone who understood them involved in the legislation).
Bah… you’re right. I’ve just become so disillusioned by the smoke and mirrors. So many critical systems protected by poorly managed file mazes and a prayer that Susan in accounting doesn’t get anything higher than the digital equivalent of a toddler slamming its face onto a keyboard several times email from bos$6&[email protected] because some 13 year old with computer access got clever.
I know it seems shocking but some companies do and did plan for backup systems in the event their entire windows platform blue screened. Thats why there were some companies that had a hard time with it and some that didnt.
The original poster is correct that Delta should shoulder some of the blame. The outage caused a problem but it was Deltas response that caused 500 million in damages. I’m sure that CrowdPoint didn’t advise Delta to put all their eggs in one basket did they?
Yeah, I agree. My whole comment was basically crowdstrike is liable but companies should reflect and take some accountability for their overreliance on CS.
Thanks Common Dreams for the shitty, ragebait headline. The text of the endorsements is just a tad bit less myopic:
“Vice President Harris is a visible leader in the Biden-Harris administration’s successful work to address environmental injustice, tackle the climate crisis, hold polluters accountable, reduce water pollution, and ensure clean drinking water for all,” said Clean Water Action president and CEO Jeff Carter, emphasizing that her actions “have made a real difference in people’s lives.”
Jeff Ordower of 350 Action highlighted that in addition to being “part of the administration that invested in renewable energy through the historic Inflation Reduction Act,” Harris “has a history of taking on Big Oil and advocating for environmental justice.”
“As a global climate movement, we know Harris represents not just the ability to make progress in the U.S., but globally as well,” he added. “For those… who care about democracy, climate, and decreased corporate capture of our government, Kamala Harris is our only choice.”
“Kamala Harris’ record provides a stark contrast with Donald Trump and the far-right, pro-polluter Project 2025,” said Wenonah Hauter, founder and executive director of Food and Water Action. “Of course, much more needs to be done, and Harris’ positions do not yet go far enough to tackle the existential threats to our food, water, and climate.” “But with a President Harris, we will have a chance to build the political power to move the bold climate initiatives we need,”
“Friends of the Earth Action is excited to endorse Kamala Harris for president of the United States,” the group’s president, Erich Pica said Wednesday. “We are not going back to an era dominated by fossil fuel interests, corporate greed, and disenfranchisement. Instead, we’re looking forward to building a healthy and just future with Vice President Harris.”
“We’re breaking our usual rule of not endorsing in presidential elections, given our strong history with Kamala Harris (we endorsed her in her 2016 Senate race), her track record in taking on Big Oil and holding polluters accountable, and the extraordinary moment of this election,” explained RL Miller, the group’s president. “We are climate hawks who vote, and we’ll be flocking together for Kamala Harris.”
“What the Green New Deal really is, is understanding that everything’s connected,” the network’s national director, Kaniela Ing, toldInside Climate News. “Making sure our tax dollars aren’t just going to kill children abroad, but to build schools and hospitals here at home… Local control of resources, self-determination of our communities. That’s the vision Kamala Harris, given her background—being bused to schools, really being a product of a lot of our social programs—really understands.”
How they managed to choose the three words that sounded most like something Eeyore would say is absolutely beyond me.
I wonder if titles (like thumbnails on YouTube) are ai generated or machine selected/biased in some way due to a promp or filter for “most exaggeratory” or something 😂
Alright, alright, Americans need to calm down with the “our only X” trope. Biden was “the only X” for the country and look at him now. There plenty of alternatives out there.
Edited to clarify meaning beyond the shadow of a doubt because Lemmings are the most special beings on this planet, Jesus H. Christ.
You don’t need to assume that I’m talking about some group. I’m saying that, in general, Americans need to get it out of their heads that there is only one savior like you see in the movies.
There is only one viable candidate running against Trump: the Democratic nominee. That was going to be Biden and now it’s going to be Harris, but it’s still only one person [at a time].
Sure, knock yourselves out with your self-fulfilling prophecies. Even after you were shown that you can absolutely change things around for the better, you still cling to those ideas.
It’s a consequence of first-past-the-post voting, not a “prophecy.” It will not change, ever until after the voting system does. Learn some goddamn game theory!
I’m not talking about literal prophecies, ffs. And yet here you are, perpetuating exactly what I’m criticizing. Change that chip, change that mindset. Change happens within you first.
The bottom line is that a third-party has absolutely zero chance of winning the 2024 US Presidential election, and any assertion otherwise is at best utterly delusional, and at worst, a pro-fascist disinformation tactic.
The time for changing the system so it’s possible for third-party candidates to win is not during the election, for fuck’s sake!
How about you learn some manners first?
You’re resorting to tone arguments because you know you lost.
And yet I’m not talking about third party candidates or what the DNC is doing. You’re going there because you think that’s what I’m talking about because it’s low-hanging fruit. You’re literally having an entirely different conversation and strutting around like you won something because I’m telling you to stop being condescending.
You’re resorting to tone arguments because you know you lost.
And here is even more condescension. I don’t need this type of shit. You either talk like an adult and have respect or we’re not talking. But go ahead, take another victory lap because you want some easy win for an argument we’re not having that you’ve set up for yourself in a parallel universe. Congrats. You’re such a good debater holy shit.
There are only three possibilities for what you could be talking about:
Third-party candidates (not viable)
The Democrats picking somebody other than Biden Harris (not likely this late in the game, especially a second time)
Something entirely irrelevant to the election at hand.
You say you’re taking about #3, which already isn’t great due to the whole “being irrelevant” thing, but what’s worse is that you’re bringing it up as if it’s a rebuttal to the “our only choice” people when the “our only choice” people are clearly talking about #1 or #2!
Thank you for changing gears, I really appreciate that. Now let me explain myself because you’re still in debate mode.
Yes, my point is somewhat #3 in that I didn’t present an actionable plan for change, but a meta criticism on the trends I see on the media that get repeated down in the comments. Even the same ridiculous language is borrowed from the news. From a foreigner’s POV, you guys are obsessed with finding the chosen one to solve all your problems and you cling to that idea quite a bit. Maybe it’s your rigid political system that causes this, maybe it’s the Hollywood effect, or maybe it’s a cultural thing with the news, idk. But it’s jarring to hear you pigeonhole yourselves as if there’s nothing to be done about anything. That reminds me so much of individuals I know who think voting is futile, but at the level of party politics.
So yeah, call it irrelevant for this election if you want, but I hope you mull over it for every election you have in the future. It’s just weird* that this is the attitude that comes from the land of the grassroots movements, the home of those urging you to call your local reps for change, and the origin of the capable Karens forever asking to speak to the manager. It doesn’t seem to register that bigger change can and does happen even after witnessing it live. Only now Kamala is the ultimate and irreplaceable savior because of an agreement among all of you. Fucking hell, what a political attitude. Imagine if falling in line wasn’t the norm and the calls for Biden to step aside had been louder from the start.
Thank you Kamala. But maybe it’s not just the Republicans that are a tad bit strange.

It’s because of the context that we’re down to the wire* in an election in which we’re fighting to even continue to have meaningful elections in the future. Inappropriately bringing up issues that distract from that smells like bad-faith propaganda even when it’s not.
By US “campaign for damn near a year” standards, not EU “declare and hold an election within days or weeks” standards
Inspectors cited the owner for changing the building’s use without a permit. They warned him again the next year. But after that, housing inspectors appeared to drop the matter, even as they ordered the owner to correct other building code violations. A few years later, in 2020, a tenant complained that 14 of the 21 units were listed on Airbnb.
Start giving these parasites prison sentences and huge fines and we'll see them change their tune.
But people under a certain age are required a child seat, no? So unless those rules are changed, it would be hard for any pregnant woman to legally sit in a moving car.
Ah, good point. But doesn’t that mean that the pregnant woman can’t ride in the car at all, since the young “person” inside them doesn’t have a way to be put in a seat?
It looks like Florida and West Virginia have no seat laws, so pregnant woman in the carpool lane are good to go there!
Gradually increasing revenue each year is more sustainable, as it avoids the pressure of constantly surpassing record highs and potentially alienating your customer base. CEOs somehow fail to understand this. Morons.

If I’m reading this correctly, we now have to wait until the dog is 6 months old to import.
I wonder how this is going to impact working dogs, military dogs, and police dogs. They’re often imported from other countries. This means we’re probably going to pay more for adult, trained dogs, and have less access to puppies with the intent on training them over here.
