The crowd was not pleased, but Third Eye Blind didn’t care. “You can boo all you want, but I’m the motherfucking artist up here,” lead singer Stephan Jenkins said.
Jenkins and Third Eye Blind were performing at a concert hosted by the Recording Industry Association of America and AT&T — a special event for the convention-goers and GOP allies. But Jenkins and the band are apparently not fans of Trump and his policies (Jenkins wrote a piece for the Huffington Post in 2012 about how Republicans are the wrong side of history and policy), so they decided to stage a rebellion.
They used their time onstage to give the musical equivalent of a middle finger by sticking to their less popular songs, mixed in with questions to the crowd like, “Who believes in science?”
Being a parody of the Sad Boner Confessional that Huffington Post ran yesterday. (Original here for comparison.)
Oh man. Nailed it.
The original is so bad, so full of male entitlement and a complete lack of actual love for his (now-ex thank god) wife, that I couldn’t finish it. This is much better.
Holy shit that original. What a self-absorbed narcissistic douche! I want to read his wife’s story of how her ex was inexplicably surprised that she wanted a divorce after he cheated on her while they were having infertility treatments.
“I think we should try an open relationship.” I can’t quite believe the words are tumbling from my mouth. Within the paradigm of the dominant culture, the sanctity of monogamous marriage is supreme.
And yet I feel compelled to reconcile the deeper longings of my desire, haunted by the alternative: the vision of a pleasant but passionless coupledom, like so many marriages that choose the facade of stability instead of the fire of truth.
But then:
A few hours before, she had revealed how she had begun drifting from our marriage the first time I’d confessed about kissing the other women, almost a year earlier. “You never told me,” I pleaded. “How could I have saved us?”
I believed wholeheartedly the myth of the One. The belief that human happiness means finding your other half, pledging them your heart and soul, and committing until death do you part.
Fuck you Adam Rossler. I don’t even care what you thought of the movie or if it was good or bad. Fuck you for humiliating a director like that, you entitled, whiny asshole.
Duncan Jones clearly had a lot of passion for this movie and no matter its failures HE DOESN’T DESERVE to be treated like this.
So fuck you Adam Rossler
So rude and unprofessional. Jones handled the situation patiently and tactfully.
Whether or not your liked the Warcraft movie, Jones and his crew did put a lot of love and care into it for better or worse, and enjoy the product despite its qualms. I have no clue what Rossler was trying to prove beyong being a massive donkus.
Why anyone would act like that on video baffles me.
In the last few weeks there have been releases of some very high profile database breaches, linkedin, myspace and now tumblr.
All of these sites have been hit with hacks, and resulted in massive data breaches, yet these hacks are only now coming to the surface.
Tumblr has now confirmed it was hacked in a data breach from 2013, which affected a set of users “Email addresses and Passwords”, but Tumblr has refused to reveal how many people were affected. With the release of the data, for sale on The Real Deal darknet marketplace, it has now been confirmed that there are 65 Million records available.
Have i Been pwned has obtained a copy of the stolen data set, allowing people to check if their accounts have been breached. Records show that there are currently 65,469,298 unique emails and passwords.
Tumblr has at least done one thing correctly, the passwords were both hashed and salted. Salting is adding additional random bytes at the end of the password, this makes reverse hashing much harder, even when using the weak encryption of SHA1.
The hacker with this latest breach should come as no surprise to those who follow these kinds of leaks. Peace, has offered the data for a small fee of 0.4255 BTC or $150, the reason for the relatively small price is due to the hashing and salting of the data, which is essentially a massive database of email addresses.
Other databases are also available from Peace (Profile name on the market: peace_of_mind), with the linkedin one being sold for 6 BTC, again on the same darknet marketplace as the current one is being sold.
The leak which is now listed on have I been pwned, is the third largest ever, after the linkedin hack (Also completed by Peace) and the Adobe hack which was for 152 Million accounts. Any affected accounts should have had contact with Tumblr advising to change/reset passwords, after the announcement of the hack.
What all of these hacks have in common is they are actually a few years old, yet the data has been hidden and dormant, and now has arisen to the top, and is available for sale. Whether there will be more leaks to follow, only time will tell.
Another question is, who has been sitting on this data for all of this time, and why? Why release the data now?
I guess these are questions, that we don’t/won’t have the answers too at the moment, but they could be answered within weeks or even months.
Peace is another hacker to keep a close eye on, along with FineasPhisher, who seem to be excelling at pwning massive databases or even sites.
