1. Scrutiny of the "Tea" Dating AppThe women-focused dating app "Tea" faces backlash after two data breaches exposed 72,000 sensitive images and 1.1 million private messages. Though security upgrades were promised, past data remained exposed, and the app lacks end-to-end encryption. Additionally, anonymous features enabling posts about men have sparked defamation lawsuits. Critics argue Tea prioritized rapid growth over user safety, exemplifying the danger of neglecting cybersecurity in pursuit of scale.2. North Korean Remote Work InfiltrationCrowdStrike has flagged a 220% surge in North Korean IT operatives posing as remote workers—over 320 cases in the past year. These operatives use stolen/fake identities, aided by generative AI to craft résumés, deepfake interviews, and juggle multiple jobs. Their earnings fund Pyongyang's weapons programs. The tactic reveals the limits of traditional vetting and the need for advanced hiring security.3. Airportr's Data ExposureUK luggage service Airportr suffered a major security lapse exposing passport photos, boarding passes, and flight details—including those of diplomats. CyberX9 found it possible to reset accounts with just an email and no limits on login attempts. Attackers could gain admin access, reroute luggage, or cancel flights. Although patched, the incident underscores risks of convenience services with poor security hygiene.4. Risks of AI-Generated CodeVeracode's "2025 GenAI Code Security Report" found that nearly 45% of AI-generated code across 80 tasks had security flaws—many severe. This highlights the need for human oversight and thorough reviews. While AI speeds development, it also increases vulnerability if unchecked, making secure coding a human responsibility.5. Microsoft's SharePoint Hack ControversyChinese state hackers exploited flaws in SharePoint, breaching hundreds of U.S. entities. A key concern: China-based Microsoft engineers maintained the hacked software, potentially enabling earlier access. Microsoft also shared vulnerability data with Chinese firms through its MAPP program, while Chinese law requires such data be reported to the state. This raises alarms about outsourcing sensitive software to geopolitical rivals.6. Russian Embassy Surveillance AttackRussia's "Secret Blizzard" hackers used ISP-level surveillance to deliver fake Kaspersky updates to embassies. These updates installed malware and rogue certificates enabling adversary-in-the-middle attacks—allowing full decryption of traffic. The attack shows the threat of state-level manipulation of software updates and underscores the need for update authenticity verification.7. Signal's Threat to Exit AustraliaSignal may pull out of Australia if forced to weaken encryption. ASIO's push for access contradicts Signal's end-to-end encryption model, which can't accommodate backdoors without global compromise. This standoff underscores a broader debate: encryption must be secure for all or none. Signal's resistance reflects the rising tension between privacy advocates and governments demanding access.8. Los Alamos Turns to AILos Alamos National Laboratory has launched a National Security AI Office, signaling a pivot from nuclear to AI capabilities. With massive GPU infrastructure and university partnerships, the lab sees AI as the next frontier in scientific and national defense. This reflects a shift in global security dynamics—where large language models may be as strategically vital as missiles.

We continue our discussion of the deep issues raised in the case of US v. Skrmetti.  Last time we observed the Court wrestling with questions of whether the Tennessee law banning gender dysphoria treatments in minors was a form of sex discrimination.  Later in the argument the Court addressed the question of whether transgender individuals, or some related group, constituted a so-called “suspect classification” and therefore laws purporting to affect that group would be subject to close examination (“Scrutiny”) by the Court.  In this episode we listen, and react to, those arguments as the Court itself did.  Professor Vik Amar returns to join Akhil in this task, and rightly so, since the “brothers in law” have written several recent posts on the deep questions raised by this and other recent cases.  This has resulted in a new unifying theory which they begin to articulate in this episode.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the last several days Justin Bieber has been squarely in the spotlight, not only for the feverish headlines but for landmark moments that could shape his biography for years to come. His latest music video "Yukon," released on August 5 and directed by Cole Bennett, is making waves not just for its stylish black-and-white visuals or the catchy melody but for showcasing what Parade calls his “close bond” with wife Hailey and especially their baby boy, Jack Blues, who turns one this month. With the video, Bieber brought his son into the public eye for the first time, filming sweet family scenes onboard a boat, swimming and relaxing—projecting an image of togetherness, even as divorce rumors have swirled in the tabloids. The single "Yukon" is part of his seventh studio album "Swag," dropped in July after a four-year recording absence, marking his first solo release as a father and signaling what People described in July as “a huge milestone” creatively and personally.The release and reception of "Swag"—hailed by Good Morning America and ABC News as a deeply personal record reflecting “his devotion as a husband and father”—suggest Bieber is using this moment to reclaim the narrative after months of erratic headlines, including reports of confrontations with photographers and unusual social media behavior. These personal struggles were dissected most notably in Hulu's documentary TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber, where executive producer Harvey Levin asserted Bieber has been upfront recently about battling issues like marijuana use and, according to Levin's investigators, some “demons” related to mental health and finances.The tabloids and social media personalities have fueled suspicions that his inner circle and businesses have been rocked by these personal circumstances. Most notably, Bieber announced in April he was no longer involved in his Drew House brand, deleting posts and teasing a cryptic new project, SKYLRK, while Instagram accounts now monitor his every business tease. Speculation about Bieber's wealth and motives spiked after he sold his 291-song catalog for $200 million in 2022, with the TMZ documentary alleging financial pressures led to the sale, though no comment came from his reps.Hailey Bieber, meanwhile, can't escape the spotlight either: in a May Vogue interview she described the ordeal of postpartum life amid the relentless rumors, but has since pivoted her skincare brand rhode into a billion-dollar acquisition by e.l.f. Beauty, keeping her in the headlines and ensuring their family remains a formidable business force.Whether Bieber's next act is a Las Vegas residency, as Extra TV and TMZ now speculate, or a quieter chapter, it is clear—based on music, business, and new family milestones—he is entering a transformative period, with the whole world watching and commenting across every platform from Instagram to major media outlets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Eric shares firsthand how this transformative reform is taking root across the country. From its early adoption in Wisconsin and Florida to new victories in Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming, and Kentucky—with more states on the way—the REINS Act is shifting power back where it belongs: to the people's elected representatives. Through stories of outrageous past regulations that crushed jobs and industries without a single vote, Eric explains how the REINS Act not only prevents future economic harm but also gives states a way to future-proof against the next crisis-driven power grab.

Tucker Carlson's Controversial Putin Praise Sparks Global Backlash and Renewed Scrutiny

Tucker Carlson - Audio Biography

Tucker Carlson has sparked global headlines this week after a provocative interview with the German newspaper Bild, where he praised Russian President Vladimir Putin's leadership, calling Putin's stewardship of Russia superior to recent German leaders and attributing Germany's decline to domestic policy failures rather than the conflict in Ukraine. His statements have drawn sharp criticism from German officials and political commentators across Europe, many of whom accuse Carlson of spreading Kremlin-aligned talking points and undermining Western unity amid the ongoing Ukraine war. The interview has fueled renewed debate over Carlson's influence on conservative media, with some describing him as a leading voice shaping right-wing narratives not only in the United States but increasingly on the international stage.Carlson continues to lead his own subscriber-driven platform, the Tucker Carlson Network, where he has recently hosted interviews with high-profile figures such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and progressive commentator Ana Kasparian, showcasing his commitment to airing perspectives both from across and outside the mainstream political spectrum. The network is partially funded by investment from 1789 Capital, a venture firm linked with anti-ESG and “parallel economy” projects, whose backers include prominent figures like Donald Trump Jr., Chris Buskirk, and Omeed Malik. This financial backing has underscored the professionalization and expansion of Carlson's media operations, which are increasingly seen as competitors to more established news organizations.Fox News, Carlson's former employer, is navigating its own post-Carlson landscape, recently finalizing the acquisition of Red Seat Ventures, which produces content for personalities including Carlson and Megyn Kelly. The move reflects a broader trend as major platforms like Netflix intensify their pursuit of talent and audience in the rapidly growing podcast and video podcasting space. According to Business Insider, Netflix has renewed its search for a leader to drive its video podcasting initiative, reportedly showing interest in licensing content from creators with large, established audiences—potentially including shows like those produced by Carlson.In terms of public interaction, Carlson's endorsement of Putin has prompted direct rebukes from European leaders and reignited debates on his reliability as a commentator, especially concerning issues of authoritarianism, Western alliances, and the future of conservative politics. Supporters argue that Carlson is merely challenging orthodoxy and exposing overlooked perspectives, while critics warn that his rhetoric risks amplifying anti-democratic actors and undermining the credibility of established institutions.As of now, no new legal actions have been reported involving Carlson, though Fox News' earlier cease-and-desist warnings regarding content overlap with his previous show continue to loom in discussions among media analysts. Despite these challenges, Carlson's audience engagement remains noteworthy, with online viewership for his shows and podcasts continuing to rise, as reflected in the increasing crossover of political debates into mainstream and alternative media spaces.Listeners, thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson news Tracker podcast.

Constitutional Law I Lecture Four: Equal Protection – Scrutiny Standards and Government Classifications

Law School

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 18, 2025 27:30


Judicial scrutiny, vital for U.S. constitutional law, assesses if laws comply with the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses. It has three levels: Rational Basis Review (lenient, for non-fundamental rights), Intermediate Scrutiny (mid-tier, for quasi-suspect classifications like gender), and Strict Scrutiny (highest, for fundamental rights or suspect classifications like race, often "fatal in fact").The Equal Protection Clause, requiring similar treatment for similarly situated people, has evolved, notably expanding to corporations. However, "pluralism anxiety" has led to limitations on traditional, group-based civil rights by restricting heightened scrutiny classifications, foreclosing disparate impact claims without discriminatory intent, and curbing congressional enforcement powers under Section 5.Despite these limitations, the Court has shifted to "liberty-based dignity claims," using due process liberty analysis to protect subordinated groups, as seen in cases like Lawrence v. Texas (sodomy laws) and Roe v. Wade (abortion rights). This approach often frames rights universally, circumventing traditional scrutiny bars and Section 5 limitations.Critics argue the scrutiny framework has ambiguous boundaries, allows too much judicial discretion, is overly deferential in rational basis, and struggles with modern issues and intersectional discrimination.U.S. v. Skrmetti, addressing gender-affirming care for minors, is a pivotal case that will define the application of the Equal Protection Clause to transgender issues. Arguments revolve around whether the law discriminates on sex, age, or transgender status, and the state's justification for the ban. The outcome, expected in June 2025, will significantly impact equal protection jurisprudence.In conclusion, the scrutiny framework, while foundational, faces challenges in adapting to societal changes. The shift to liberty-based dignity claims offers a new avenue for protecting rights, but cases like Skrmetti highlight ongoing debates and the framework's future.

Regenerative Skills
Pioneering regenerative dairy production, with Phyllis Van Amburgh: redux

Regenerative Skills

At this point I've covered a wide array of practices and management styles that fall under the broad umbrella of regenerative agriculture. Some could be considered traditional while others are more modern and innovative and they span continents, climates, biomes and industries. Nonetheless I've noticed a pretty big gap that I've yet to cover in detail that I hope to begin to fill in today.  Dairy farming has been under sharp criticism in recent times. Scrutiny over everything from the appropriateness of dairy in the diet to the methane emissions of cows and the controversial practices of early separation of calves from their mothers to maximize milk production have all contributed to a diminished reputation.  Though these critiques are very legitimate, what if there were solutions to all of them without the need to turn to non-dairy alternatives? Today to explore these solutions is one of the leaders in regenerative dairy and a growing movement of dairy producers working to develop a new way of managing dairy cows and the pastures they coexist with. Phyllis Van Amburgh along with her husband Paul and their family are leaders in holistic land use, biodiverse cultivation, Organic dairy herd management, and more.  Together they are dairy farmers in upstate New York, and have been involved in key innovations in the dairy industry, mostly in western parts of the world, re-integrating dairy cows as a cornerstone for ecological health and for human communities to thrive. Phyllis and Paul have also helped develop the Grass-fed certification program with NOFA-NY and PCO.  In this interview Phyllis starts by sharing her inspiring story of transitioning away from her previous career as she and Paul embraced a gradual move into full time farming.  We explore the intuition she had that much of the conventional wisdom and ways of doing things in the dairy industry were not really in the interest of either the cows nor the farmers and how that led them to rethink their own dairy operation.  Phyllis outlines the key aspects they consider essential for managing a dairy herd regeneratively and the pioneering journey they're on to make exclusively grass fed dairy cows viable through selective breeding and holistic managed grazing.  We also explore Phyllis' insights from her work helping large dairy operations in the USA and Europe to transition to regenerative management and the challenges and opportunities that the wider industry has to transform.
