Trump: “I’ll pay you guys to vote for Republicans and tack it onto our $40 trillion debt” Democrats: “we are going to give you guys a ton of free things + import infinite third worlders who hate the US if you vote for us” How is this the current state of our politics???

Trump with a $5,000 bribe for the midterms… Now imagine AOC in 2028. You. Don’t. Own. Enough. Hard. Assets.

BREAKING: The Omani co-pilot accused of attacking the captain aboard FlyDubai Flight had been barred from flying in Oman over concerns about his radical ideological views. FlyDubai later hired him and assigned him to the UAE-Israel route, according to the WSJ.

One particular part that bothers me about the Cornell lawsuit is she is suing her sorority for not preventing her from binge drinking while under their “care, custody, and control.” Bizarre that an adult can sue someone else for not stopping them from making their own choice.

He was too intoxicated to consent to her snorting ketamine off of his erect penis.

This is the kind of stat that when you mention it to non-political normies they think you’re insane because it’s hard to come to terms with a government doing this to its own people.

the first time a president died in office, there was a crisis over whether “the Same” in this bit of the Constitution meant “the said Office” or “the Powers and Duties of” it. but arguably, it could refer to “his Death”, meaning that if the president dies, we have to kill the VP

[ ZOOMER ] NEAR INTENTS EXPLOITED, SITE STATUS SHOWS ONGOING INCIDENT IMPACTING MULTIPLE EVM CHAINS: ZACHXBT

MetaMask Staking doesn't control the withdrawal keys. an operator compromise can't redirect the staked ETH. it can redirect the block fees. Sep 30, 12:12–16:46 UTC: 18 blocks from @MetaMask -run validators paid their fees to a wallet funded through Tornado Cash at 10:27. total: 0.36 ETH. whoever set that address had access somewhere inside the validator operation. that's enough to treat the signing environment as potentially compromised. bad signatures can get validators slashed. Ethereum can't rotate a validator signing key in place. you exit, withdraw and restake with fresh keys. so they're rotating the validator. btw, we've seen the containment playbook before. Sep 9, 2025: Kiln disclosed a security incident and exited its Lido validators. 28 days later, the cause: compromised GitHub token -> CI workflows -> cloud credentials. 104 days later, the bill: 207.312 ETH in missed rewards across 5,726 validators. MetaMask hasn't disclosed the root cause or the validator count. one thing is already different. Kiln found no evidence its Ethereum validators were touched. here, someone was already collecting the fees. etherscan.io/address/0x98B92…

after some onchain sleuthing, i think this is what happened: 19 metamask validators had won block rewards, and 18 of the rewards were not paid to the correct fee recipient but instead to this tornado funded account: 0x98B9231de84334c1d48BA0b72CF13f92484924A3 ~17k validators proactively exited, ~523k eth total, unknown whether the attacker had the ability to change all fee recipients it appears that 3 of the exploited validators have not yet been exited, and that 821 potentially impacted validators in total have yet to exit, unclear why attacker only stole ~0.36 eth in rewards and likely never had the ability to withdraw any staked eth. however, depending on how the attacker managed to get signing access, they could potentially cause the validators to be intentionally slashed

Following an investigation into an infrastructure compromise, MetaMask Staking (ex Consensys Staking) has taken precautionary steps to protect client assets related to its operated Ethereum validators. These steps include exiting its Ethereum (ETH) validators in the Lido protocol, and will likely incur foregone rewards as well as possible downtime penalties should validators be taken offline in the near future to reduce risks related to potential network penalties. Relevant validators have begun the exit process, with the final validators expected to be exited (but not fully withdrawn) by the end of October 7th, 2026. No action is required from stETH holders. ETH exited from MetaMask Staking-operated validators is expected to return to the protocol gradually as the relevant validators complete the exit, withdrawal, and re-entry cycle, which is estimated to take approximately up to 45 days due to the extended entry queue. As a reminder, staking operations are non-custodial in nature and MetaMask does not manage withdrawal keys for staking on behalf of clients. As always, the Lido Protocol’s diverse Node Operator set and other security systems including the ad hoc reserve fund (of over 6,750 stETH), are designed to contain and mitigate disruptions to the normal operations of the protocol, in addition to other potential routes. research.lido.fi/t/security-… A full investigation is underway, and further updates will be shared as they become available. For further details, please refer to the MetaMask Staking release linked below.

Security Update: We are responding to a security incident affecting part of our infrastructure. At this time, we have identified no immediate threat to MetaMask wallets. As a precaution, we are proactively exiting affected validators within our non-custodial staking operations, in coordination with clients, partners and security advisors. We’ll share further updates as appropriate. metamask.io/news/user-update…
