⚡️🔎 ARCHIVE - On this day in history, 28 years ago, cryptographer Nick Szabo published the foundational essay conceptualizing "Smart Contracts" for the first time on his personal blog. This document laid the philosophical and technical groundwork for programmable digital money and Bitcoin.

⚡️🎙️ WATCH - Theo Von: “Nobody wants a data center dude. And the people that want them to me, they seem kind of evil. Nobody wants this shit. One of these companies is gonna own all of this information. There’s gonna become this social or emotional credit score and then AI is gonna try to become our new God”

⚡️🔎 LOOK - This photo was published of the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner. What’s the problem? Giving a foreign leader visual access to a USG laptop, while using someone else’s CAC to log in. Pure incompetence at every turn.

⚡️🚨 TECH - Critical remote code execution in libssh2, the SSH client library embedded in countless tools: CVE-2026-55200, rated CVSS 9.2 by VulnCheck. Every version up to and including 1.11.1 is affected. It's an out-of-bounds heap write in ssh2_transport_read(), which fails to bound-check the SSH packet_length field. A malicious or MITM'd SSH server can send oversized packets to corrupt memory and run code on the connecting client. No known exploitation yet and it's not in CISA's KEV. Fix: move to a build that includes commit 7acf3df (PR #2052), and inventory anything that links libssh2 for SSH, SCP, or SFTP.

⚡️🎮 FUN FACT - In 2012, a Reddit user shared a Civilization II save he’d been playing on and off for ten years. The game had reached the year 3991 AD. Only three superpowers remained, locked in endless nuclear war, with most of the world ruined. A strategy game accidentally became a dystopian novel.

⚡️🇶🇦 NEW - FM/PM of Qatar: “Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the Israeli Prime Minister has created a state of escalation in the region, through the continued occupation and expansion into Lebanese and Syrian territories, and the failure to commit to withdrawal from the Gaza Strip or to fulfill obligations related to agreements.”

⚡️👀 NEW - Nvidia: « Water usage has been a hot topic in the AI data center world, but the numbers may surprise you. According to the Manhattan Institute, data centers use 0.2 percent of daily water usage in the U.S. and that number has dramatically decreased in the past few years due to a new method: liquid cooling. By moving to 45°C liquid cooling, AI factories in favorable climates can use dry coolers instead of conventional cooling-tower-based systems, cutting facility cooling water use from roughly 2.6M gallons per MW per year to near zero. Liquid cooling enables AI factories to be both water and energy efficient, while creating opportunities for heat reuse and dispersal to local communities, allowing these factories to become energy grid assets. »

⚡️🇦🇷🇮🇱 NEW - Israeli FM to Argentina's Milei: Please bring the fourth World Cup to Argentina in July. Netanyahu: Okay.

⚡️🇺🇸🇪🇺 NEW - « Trump could cut us off from everything. Since virtually all of our payment methods are American, we are creating our own European system: “The digital euro: the currency that sets us free, or sovereignty over our payment methods” » - Aurore Lalucq, Member of the European Parliament

⚡️🎙️ NEW - Christian theologian JD Hall tells Tucker Carlson that Israel has an AI called “The Gospel,” which he claims is used to intentionally kill women and children as a way to mock Christianity. He says Israelis feel something of “spiritual value” when they go to war and kill gentiles. “Why do they call it the Gospel?” “That’s their way to mock Christianity.”

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Chris Wright: 121 years ago, Albert Einstein... Trump: Nobody cares. Wright: Good point, good point.

⚡️👀 WATCH - Israel's first quantum computer was funded by the Rothschild family through the Weizmann Institute of Science. The goal is not only to build quantum computers, but also to advance quantum communications, sensing, and cybersecurity. "Quantum computing is the holy grail of modern computing." "This computer will be able to calculate things that the largest computers cannot."

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Howard Lutnick announced that the United States government will be fully implementing Q, Quantum computing, with $2 billion in U.S. taxpayer funding. "Once we have quantum chips, we have to protect everyone in this government." "To make sure all of us are protected and defended."

⚡️🔎 NEW - Bitcoin is performing the strongest it ever has during a bear market in its history

⚡️🚨💻 NEW - A Chrome extension called Volume Booster, with roughly 2 million weekly users, activated a commerce-tracking SDK across its entire base without ever prompting for consent. The trick: a broad all-sites permission was granted in an earlier version and left unused, then a later update switched on the Give Freely affiliate SDK without requesting any new permission, so Chrome shipped it silently. The SDK registers a persistent device ID, geolocates users by IP, and sends telemetry continuously, while the store's privacy declaration still claims no data collection beyond core functionality. A broad permission granted early and activated later via a prompt-free update is a detectable supply-chain signal.

⚡️🎙️ NEW - Tucker Carlson: I would not support the Republican party, there's no chance I would support the Republican party. How could I support a political party that is not loyal to the United States. I voted Republican my entire life, I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican party, but there is no defending this. I'm out

⚡️🎮 NEW - Valve has announced the pricing for the new Steam Machine. - 512GB model: $1,049 - 2TB model: $1,349 Valve says the hardware is being sold close to cost rather than at a loss like traditional consoles. Reservations are now open, with the Steam Machine set to launch on June 29.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - JD Vance says Jared Kushner is the architect who came up with a strategy for how hundreds of billions of dollars in unfrozen Iranian assets will be distributed.

⚡️💻 TECH - Vivaldi CEO Jon von Tetzchner says the company has no plans to add AI chatbots or AI-powered browsing features to its browser. While rivals like Chrome and Edge push AI tools, he says Vivaldi users have made their feelings clear: “Hell no!” According to von Tetzchner, features like AI summaries and chat assistants could make people rely too much on AI instead of exploring information themselves. He warned that turning the web into “passive consumption” could hurt the diversity and openness of the internet. Vivaldi says it will only consider AI if it enhances user autonomy without privacy risks or diminishing the open web. Until then, the company plans to focus on privacy, customization, and giving users full control over their browsing experience.
