I very much admire Lara Logan. She is a fine journalist with keen instincts, but I have mixed feelings about the cleavage-revealing wardrobe she favors for her appearances and interviews.
One would dismiss her credentials at their peril if they base their opinion on how she dresses, and maybe that's a strategy on her part.
But I find it curious....

Considering what the BBC has said today about their broadcast of Bob Vylan from Glastonbury, I can only assume that in future if any musical artist makes a political statement the broadcast will immediately be cut.
And that, chums, is simple authoritarian censorship.

Τι συνέβη έξω από το νέο κυλικείο της Νομικής με την "εργαζόμενη" του ΕΜΠ Γεωργία Τύρου , που τελικά έχει τρία κυλικεία
youtube.com/watch?v=4LVuOCUoPR…
Πέμπτη (3/7), δεύτερη μέρα ανοίγματος του χώρου, ήμασταν και πάλι εκεί. Αυτή τη φορά το μαγαζάκι άδειο, με τρείς ΔΑΠίτες που δεν έμειναν και πολύ. Φωνάζοντας συνθήματα προσεγγίσαμε τον χώρο και ανοίξαμε το πανό μας μπροστά στην είσοδο. Αυτό δεν άρεσε πολύ στους κυλικιάρχες, που μας έβγαζαν βίντεο, έπαιρναν συνεχώς τηλέφωνα και μας επιτέθηκαν επανειλλημένα. Πολλές φορές προσπάθησαν να αρπάξουν το πανό, και η Γεωργία Τύρου, ούσα εκπαιδευμένη άλλωστε στις επιθέσεις, με το μένος της μία φορά σχεδόν τα κατάφερε, ενώ χρειάστηκε η επέμβαση του θυρωρού για να ηρεμήσει και να εμποδίσει τα χειρότερα... Παρόλα αυτά αργότερα ο συνέταιρός της δεν δίστασε να ρίξει χλέπες στον συγκεντρωμένο κόσμο.
...φάνηκε ξεκάθαρα ότι στρατηγική τους ήταν να προβοκάρουν για να προκαλέσουν ένταση ώστε να μπορούν να εδραιώσουν την παρουσία τους μέσω της θυματοποίησής τους και προκαλώντας την λύπηση προς το πρόσωπό τους διασπείροντας ψεύδη. Ξέροντας τον τρόπο που λειτουργούν και πώς στήνουν ψευδείς δικογραφίες τραβήξαμε και δικά μας βίντεο, στα οποία φαίνεται ότι τα αφεντικἁ-φίλοι-των-πρυτάνεων ξαναεπιτέθηκαν σε φοιτητά και σε αγωνιζόμενο κόσμο μέσα σε πανεπιστήμιο.

Once upon a time, I was friends with a guy named Jim. A very, very few of you might know him. Almost all of you won’t.
I walked away some years ago, blocked him on the socials over his support for the fascist, because I said that the fascist’s promises absolutely, positively, literally required American concentration camps, and that’s what he was supporting by supporting the fascist, and I could not abide that…
…and yet, he carried on, saying I was a fool, and that none of it would ever happen.
(I asked him then why did he support someone he insisted was lying to him. I do not remember getting an answer, before I quit.)
So now that we have American concentration camps…
…and now that people with direct access to the fascist are talking about sending literally every American citizen of Latino heritage there to die…
(it will require more concentration camps than that, of course, but that’s a detail which makes no difference)
I wonder…
…has he yet been moved to repentance?
Or is he still a good and solid member of that wretched cult?
It’s immaterial now, of course. We are long past the point where the pebbles’ opinions matter, and crimes already done cannot be undone.
But once in a while, I think of it.
And for a moment – a pointless, irrelevant moment – I still wonder.

Several people I respect recently made similar observations to the effect that there is the security community, and then there's the security industry, which are frequently two VERY different things with somewhat misaligned goals and incentives. Seems like there's a lot of truth to explore there.
From my various provocations on LinkedIn the past six months, it's become clear the latter is largely content to sit quietly or even cheer as this administration makes a public mockery of everything their industry claims to stand for. I suspect this may have something to do with tons of security firms suddenly recasting themselves as AI-focused companies.
Am I way off base or too idealistic or simplistic here, or just jaded? I've been trying to identify the real source of my malaise over attending security industry events over the past few months, and I think this dynamic is a big part of it.

be it human bodies, ability to grow food or valuable shit under the ground, it's all about resources and the power gained by granting or denying access to them on the global market.
If countries were all small, there would be fewer centers of power and more collaboration. We'd still need something LIKE the UN to stop East Bumblefuck from invading West Bumblefuck, but there would be more coalitions because each political unit would have less power.
