But it was entertaining lol
The staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe recently published a piece about Joshua Schulte, a former C.I.A. hacker who has been accused of the largest leak in the agencyâs history. The newsletter editor Jessie Li spoke to Keefe about what it was like to go inside the world of the C.I.A., and what to expect from Schulteâs new trial, in June.
In one sentence, how would you describe Joshua Schulte (whom you called âKing Josh,â taking his own cue, on Twitter)?
Josh Schulte was a coder in a Top Secret hacking unit of the C.I.A., but he was a difficult employee who got into an escalating series of quarrels with his colleagues, and who now stands accused of the ultimate act of revenge: leaking the agencyâs hacking arsenal to WikiLeaks.
San Diego grand jury indicts 11 Antifa supporters with 29 felonies; including conspiracy to riot.
This is apparently the first time prosecutors have gone after an antifa group with conspiracy charges:
A San Diego grand jury has indicted 11 alleged members of an anti-fascist group in connection with several assaults that occurred in January 2021 during a Pacific Beach âPatriot Marchâ organized by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
The indictment does not appear to add any charges beyond what the defendants faced when they were initially charged in December in San Diego Superior Court. But those initial charges were dropped Tuesday in favor of the indictment, which the county District Attorneyâs Office said was handed down after the grand jury heard 13 days of testimony last month.

1637: WIKI: Tulip Mania
Tulip mania (Dutch: tulpenmanie) was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels, with the major acceleration starting in 1634 and then dramatically collapsing in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history. In many ways, the tulip mania was more of a then-unknown socio-economic phenomenon than a significant economic crisis. It had no critical influence on the prosperity of the Dutch Republic, which was one of the world's leading economic and financial powers in the 17th century, with the highest per capita income in the world from about 1600 to about 1720. The term "tulip mania" is now often used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble when asset prices deviate from intrinsic values.
Just wanted to point that out.
