I withdraw my earlier speculation about faulty pagers.

Today it was mobile radios - walkie talkies - that went boom

ETA - the BBC is reporting speculatively that Hezbollah may have figured out that their comms devices were compromised and that Israel was faced with a "use it or lose it" situation.

Some vulnerabilities there too.

Sure, but compared to the capabilities of and attack surface of a modern cell phone?

""The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire is under fire after allegedly writing on social media that assassinating Vice President Kamala Harris would be heroic.

Multiple users, including reporters, posted screenshots of a deleted post shared to X early Sunday morning that read: “Anyone who [redacted] Kamala Harris would be an American hero.”

The Libertarian Party addressed the post Sunday morning, writing that “Libertarians are truly the most oppressed minority.”

“We deleted a tweet because we don’t want to break the terms of this website we agreed to,” the post said. “It’s a shame that even on a ‘free speech’ website that libertarians cannot speak freely.”"

Knuckleheads. my brackets. Oppressed my arse.

Jesus Christ, the Entitled Victim mentality has even penetrated the Libertarians.

From what I can see of right libertarianism, that's all it ever is, entitled white guys playing the victim.

Again, read my replies above. It wasn't always this way.

There should be no release for murderers, imho.

If you take a life via murder, you lose your own,via life in prison.
