Today's news and jokes









(Sudan’s air force has destroyed a UAE aircraft carrying Colombian mercenaries as it was landing at an airport in Darfur controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), army-aligned state TV reported.")















(Gibson Dunn, while representing the city of Grants Pass, Ore., recently secured a landmark ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that upheld laws barring homeless encampments in public spaces.")







(“We’ll sue,” Newsom said during a news conference with Texas legislators over California’s effort to counter a contentious Republican redistricting plan in that state)







Researchers at Defcon just showed they can crack the Securam ProLogic locks used on high-security safes to protect guns, cash, and narcotics in pharmacies. When they told Securam last year, it sent them legal threats—and didn't fix the flaws. www.wired.com/story/secura...

("About two years ago, security researchers ... got curious about a scandal in the world of electronic safes: Liberty Safe, which markets itself as 'America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,' had apparently given the FBI a code that allowed agents to open a criminal suspect's safe in response to a warrant related to the January 6, 2021, invasion of the US Capitol building. Politics aside, [the researchers] were taken aback to read that it was so easy for law enforcement to penetrate a locked metal box—not even an internet-connected device—that no one but the owner ought to have the code to open.")









("The medical conditions of the three researchers, all members of the U.S. National Science Foundation, were not disclosed")







So now Rupert Murdoch's New York Post is begging Trump to endorse Eric Adams. This comes just a few months after publicly begging the police commissioner to run against the mayor. I guess it also serves as a sign that the Post is about to go all-out for Adams. Get ready nypost.com/2025/08/07/o...

Mayor Adams' legal defense fund, which he has used to cover lawyer fees in his corruption case, is still $3 million+ in the red after receiving no donations in 6 months — and that debt doesn't include plenty of bills from his priciest attorney, Alex Spiro. www.nydailynews.com/2025/08/08/m...

("Nantucket business owners who rely on summer sales told the Wall Street Journal the influencer disrupted them by demanding free products, comped hotel rooms and discounts for the camp in exchange for social media advertising. Residents also complained that Swanson brought in vendors from outside Nantucket, where there is an unspoken rule that shopping must be done locally. As locals see it, Swanson was a so-called 'washashore'....[She] said she doesn't care about the criticism, and is planning more camps in places like the Cotswolds in the English countryside")















(Every week in the summer there are multiple small fires very close to where summer olympics events will supposedly be held)
