I feel kinda sorry for LindLoh, she has clear drug and psychological problems, her family is utter shit and abusive, hollywood is utter shit and abusive, and she keeps trying to win back love and respect from both.
Like at the same time she broke up with her rich boyfriend accusing him of being abusive, she was defending Weinstein from abuse allegations.
"It's not just a wall of water, it's a wall of water full of debris: concrete, trees, cars - everything being churned around like a giant cement mixer. It's like a huge bulldozer that clears away the land and afterward you're left with complete chaos," Timmins told Al Jazeera.
Simonyan could barely contain her tears. This was one of the saddest stories she had ever heard. But worse was still to come. What really hurt Petrov and Boshirov the most was that they had been accused of carrying Nina Ricci perfume. “Isn’t it silly for decent lads to have women’s perfume?” Boshirov wept. “The customs are checking everything, they would have questions as to why men have women’s perfume in their luggage. We didn’t have it.”
Accusations of being GRU assassins they could live with. The suggestion that they might wear women’s perfume was just too much. If they had been carrying novichok they would have done so in a can of Lynx. Because they were proper Russian men. Fashionable guys with tight pants and biceps bulging under their sweaters, as Simonyan had kindly observed. But not girly boys. Anything but that.
It is possible the propagandists are so inured to lying without consequence that they genuinely thought the explanation would fly. But if this was an attempt to sow western suspicion that MI6 had got the wrong men, the interview will have had the opposite effect.
That's pretty much the final nail in the coffin. There could have been some non-zero chance that this was a rogue operation I guess, but you can forget that now.
Welp. Adding New Zealand of all places to the listt of countries bwhere I wipe my phone before travel. I'm boring. But my photos and banking app is my boring.
Nested on the servers’ motherboards, the testers found a tiny microchip, not much bigger than a grain of rice, that wasn’t part of the boards’ original design. Amazon reported the discovery to U.S. authorities, sending a shudder through the intelligence community. Elemental’s servers could be found in Department of Defense data centers, the CIA’s drone operations, and the onboard networks of Navy warships. And Elemental was just one of hundreds of Supermicro customers.

But that’s just what U.S. investigators found: The chips had been inserted during the manufacturing process, two officials say, by operatives from a unit of the People’s Liberation Army. In Supermicro, China’s spies appear to have found a perfect conduit for what U.S. officials now describe as the most significant supply chain attack known to have been carried out against American companies.

Some people, including Apple and Amazon, who stepped out of their usual 'no comment' role to give details, are calling this report bullshit.
An interesting analysis, Bloomberg Reports China Infiltrated the Supermicro Supply Chain We Investigate complete with the suggestion that if this report is as bullshit as some claim an SEC investigation of who knew when this report was going to be released should be taken since it's something that will clearly affect stock prices of Supermicro.

Let's see how this pans out. It seems to me that the report is much too specific to be nonsense. On the other hand, Bloomberg isn't the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of top-notch investigative reporting. But just hypothetically: what kind of response would you get from Amazon and Apple assuming that everyone who knows about this has some kind of gag order on them (and spilled the beans anyway as sources in that article)?

Indeed, it's gotten interesting fast as both sides seem to have dug in their heels.
Apple came out swinging with a reasonably long response that has some pretty certain, 'fuck no!' style wording that straight up calls Bloomberg a liar. What Businessweek got wrong about Apple - Apple
Meanwhile Bloomberg has fired back with a, 'no you're the liar, we're certain it's true!'
When giants fight, however this turns out there's a pretty good chance at least one person somewhere is getting fired and at least one person somewhere is getting a raise, but who and where is still uncertain.
ISTANBUL — Turkey has concluded that Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last week by a Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder,” two people with knowledge of the probe said Saturday.
Turkish investigators believe a 15-member team “came from Saudi Arabia. It was a preplanned murder,” said one of the people. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
The investigative website Bellingcat has identified the second suspect responsible for poisoning Sergei Skripal as Alexander Mishkin, a doctor working for Russia’s GRU military spy agency.
