Last night I finished a book I read for a reason that did not give me particularly high expectations: the author is a friend of my wife. I knew knew that she (the author) liked Babylon 5, so at least she had good taste.
To my surprise, I found myself really enjoying it. There are a couple of places where the writing is clunky but the characters were interesting and the story was engaging. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel (due this year).
If you enjoy low-stakes science fiction mysteries, I can thoroughly recommend Artificial Selection by Marianne Pickles. I will try to avoid spoilers, but if you hate people putting machine learning in totally inappropriate places, there is a two-page rant about 3/4 of the way through that you’ll enjoy (I did!).

So I finally turned a recent popular post here into a proper story.
Teen on Musk’s DOGE Team Graduated from ‘The Com’
Wired reported this week that a 19-year-old working for Elon Musk‘s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was given access to sensitive US government systems even though his past association with cybercrime communities should have precluded him from gaining the necessary security clearances to do so. As today’s story explores, the DOGE teen is a former denizen of ‘The Com,’ an archipelago of Discord and Telegram chat channels that function as a kind of distributed cybercriminal social network for facilitating instant collaboration.

Muskwatch.com analyzed URL traffic for an image sharing service run by Coristine (tesla dot sexy), and found between April 2021 and September 2021 that numerous noxious URLs redirected to Coristine’s site, including, “children-sex.party,” “child-porn.store,” “kkk-is-cool.club,” “nigga.rentals,” “nigga-sex.download,” “owns-a-slave.shop,” “raping-women.club,” “ketamine-rape.date,” “rape.business,” and “rapes-wo.men.” Internet archives of the URLs show they redirected traffic to tesla.sexy but any content they may have linked to has disappeared.
