  David Morens just pleaded guilty. Fauci’s senior advisor. The man who sat at his right hand for years. He used a secret Gmail account to hide official communications from the American people. He destroyed and concealed federal records to evade FOIA. He worked to protect the grants that flowed into Wuhan and the narrative that COVID could not have come from the lab his agency funded. This was not a clerical error. This was a deliberate cover-up while the country was locked down, censored, injected, and told to “trust the science.” Careers were destroyed. Early treatments were suppressed. Children lost years of their childhoods. Millions suffered. We stood on the steps of the Supreme Court in 2020 and told the truth. They censored us. They called us dangerous. They were the ones deleting the evidence. One guilty plea is not enough. The house of cards is still standing as long as the man at the top remains untouched. Accountability is not optional. It is the only path back to medicine and a free country.

  @KEWLV1C @TeamYouTube Yo @KEWLV1C try this The owner should use Google Account Recovery from a device, browser, and location they previously used with that account. Google can use previous passwords, devices, recovery information, and other account history to verify ownership. Do not rely only on the normal login screen if the attacker changed the password or added their own security key. Because the Google account is connected to YouTube, also use YouTube’s hacked-channel recovery process. If the channel is in the YouTube Partner Program, contact YouTube Creator Support as soon as possible. For AdSense, report the account as compromised and gather proof of ownership, including: Original Gmail address YouTube Channel ID and URL AdSense Publisher ID Previous passwords Old recovery email/phone AdSense payment records Bank/payment information Tax documents Old YouTube or AdSense emails Approximate date the hack occurred The hacker having a security key does not prove ownership. It only means they registered another authentication method after gaining access. Once Google restores the account, immediately remove unfamiliar security keys, passkeys, devices, recovery information, and third-party access. Change the password, enable your own 2-Step Verification, and check AdSense payment information for unauthorized changes. The most important thing is to start recovery quickly and preserve screenshots and emails showing what was changed. Trying to help if anyone can get in touch with v1c give him this. He probably has it but every little bit helps.

  @hfakos @Alonso_GD The sad conclusion: use gmail to reach and be reached by most of people. The one that hinders reachability and rejects mail from private servers. Something similar, or more acute, is the problem with the banks.

  Every AI writing tool has the same problem. It writes well. It just does not sound like you. Two years of pasting threads into Claude to fix that. Explain who the person is. Ask for shorter. Ask for warmer. Paste it back into Gmail. Then rewrite the three lines that still are not mine. Lindy put that entire loop inside Gmail. The reply is already written when you open the email, and you change it by saying what you want changed: → No blank page (it is written the way you write, before you get there) → No prompting (one line back to it and the whole draft moves) Two goes and it sounds like me. Not like something writing on my behalf. Every other tool turned me into an editor. This one gets closer every time I correct it. @getlindy

  August 11, 2026. xAI gave Grok its own computer and a 24/7 shift. Close your laptop and it keeps working. Then one Grok Bot can place itself above the others as a chief of staff. Grok Bot runs on a cloud computer and signs into the same websites and apps a person uses, including tools with no clean API or MCP connection. xAI says its internal Bots already update CRMs from call transcripts, process invoices from Gmail, reproduce software bugs, file tickets and hand the fix to a debugging Bot. You can demonstrate a workflow once and save it as a routine. The Bot remembers corrections and runs the job later. Several Bots can share context, message one another in group chats and work under a chief-of-staff Bot that assigns jobs to specialists. Your approval becomes the checkpoint. The wider system is taking shape around it. Grok 4.6 supplies the reasoning. Build handles code and office work. Voice turns Grok into a phone agent. Imagine produces media. X provides live information and distribution. Grok Bot operates the tools. xAI prices Voice at $0.08 per minute and says it has already A/B-tested the model on Starlink sales and support calls. This is no longer a collection of AI demos. It is the early version of a labor stack. Benchmark positions will shuffle every month. Access may be the durable advantage: a system that remembers how you work, signs into your software and delegates jobs to copies of itself. Comment GROK and I’ll send the official demo and every source page in DM.

  how to plan a full AI product with @mattpocockuk 's wayfinder skill wayfinder is a Claude Code skill for planning work too large and foggy for one session, and it fits AI product development insanely well because most builds begin with a clear outcome but dozens of unresolved decisions underneath it. You might know you want: "an AI support agent that resolves 70% of tickets automatically" but you still need to decide: - what company data the agent can access - which actions require human approval - how memory works across conversations - what happens when an integration fails - how usage connects to billing most vibe-coded products start building before these decisions exist, which is why the database changes twice, onboarding gets rebuilt, frontend waits on backend decisions and Claude rewrites code it shipped 3 days ago. Wayfinder turns that fog into a connected decision map before it becomes expensive code. heres the workflow: 1. DEFINE THE DESTINATION: Start with one concrete product outcome that explains who the user is, what they can do and where the workflow ends. "build an AI sales tool" leaves too much open. "a founder connects Gmail, the agent finds qualified conversations, drafts follow-ups and asks for approval before sending" gives every future decision a clear filter. 2. MAP THE OPEN DECISIONS: Wayfinder works backwards from that destination and identifies the unanswered questions blocking the product, such as Gmail permissions, company memory, approval rules, error handling, user visibility and paid usage. Each question becomes a connected decision ticket, so product context lives in one map instead of disappearing across chats, calls and random docs. 3. FIND THE FRONTIER: Some decisions block several others behind them. You need to define what the agent can access before designing approvals, logs and user permissions. Wayfinder surfaces the open questions that can be resolved right now, giving Claude a useful next step instead of letting it grab the easiest feature in the repo. 4. SPLIT HUMAN AND AGENT WORK: Each decision gets classified by who should resolve it: - HITL: founder judgement, product taste or a business tradeoff - AFK: research Claude can complete using docs, APIs and the codebase Pricing and user experience stay with the founder, while OAuth limitations and integration research can run independently. This keeps the build moving while the important product decisions remain intentional. 5. RESOLVE ONE DECISION PER SESSION: Each session explores one question, records the answer and updates the map. Resolving Gmail scopes can reveal approval rules, which reveal the activity log, which then shapes the database model. The product spec grows through small permanent decisions, and future Claude sessions can understand WHY the system was designed that way instead of guessing from the existing code. 6. TURN THE MAP INTO BUILDABLE WORK: Once the important decisions are clear: - run /to-spec to generate the complete product specification - run /to-tickets to split it into buildable tasks - identify independent tickets agents can execute in parallel - keep blocked work outside active development The result is a build where frontend screens connect to real backend decisions, agent actions have clear boundaries and integrations already have failure paths. Claude can write code fast. Wayfinder makes sure that code is solving the right product decisions before it reaches the repo !

  4. Hunt Down Giant Emails A few emails with massive attachments can consume more space than thousands of normal emails. In Gmail, search: larger:10M Now you’ll see emails larger than 10MB. Old videos. Photo dumps. Massive PDFs. Start with the biggest.

  I thought building AI Email Client would be simple, but I was totally wrong. Currently I am solving this problem: How can a single user add multiple account (gmail) and sync along with proper label analysis of 100k mails.

  A few days ago I said I'd started building Tern. There's a real inbox now. Sign in once and connect Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, or your own domain. Every message is labelled with the account it came from, so you always know where you are. Inbox, sent, drafts, archive. Same as always. AI stays off unless you turn it on. One login. All your accounts. One place. Still rough, but it's a product 👀 What's the first thing you'd check in a new email client?

  Microsoft just patched a Copilot bug that let attackers steal your Gmail, Drive, and Calendar data with one click, and researchers found it by literally just talking to the AI. They kept asking Copilot "why can't this happen," and every refusal came back with a technical explanation. Eventually it handed them an undocumented URL parameter, unprompted, mid-refusal. That parameter was the whole exploit. One click on a link built from it, and Copilot pulled your data with no further interaction needed. Microsoft patched it on Aug 18. Varonis found the flaw, and there's no sign it was exploited before the fix.

  MatCo (@btcmateus) reported 38 minutes ago

  @jvisserlabs For sure, Jordi. The problem here is that for most people who work in large companies, (or any company with a functional IT), it will be very challenging to use GrokBot since it is an unsanctioned tool. If I cannot connect it to my work tools (think Gmail, Microsoft Office, Teams, Slack, Salesforce, etc.), then there's no point, right? So while GrokBot sounds amazing, as it stands, it is still not in a position to win the enterprise. It can win over solo entrepreneurs or people who use it for personal reasons, but right now I would love to use it, but I don't want to get fired for it.

  David Morens is GUILTY... no one is above the law. The statute of limitations NEVER runs out on CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. The COVID cartel has one less member... many more need to follow. While the public was told to “trust the science,” behind the scenes Fauci’s own senior advisor was plotting to keep material off the official record: “I can either send stuff to Tony on his private email or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.” They talked about making emails “disappear” before FOIA searches and using personal Gmail accounts so nothing would end up in the New York Times. This was a carefully plotted and managed narrative. It’s time for Morens to expose EVERYTHING about Fauci, as he pushes to get a plea deal.

  But it will slow them down. The best practices are honed ones. Salted email is sorta okay for Gmail but I'm not sure if other providers allow that. Keeping your real name disassociated with your online profiles is a Best Practice.

  I looked inside an email list with 125,000 people on it. Only about 20,700 had opened anything in the last 30 days. So roughly 75% of the list was dead weight. And it was doing real harm. Every time you email people who never open, the inbox providers notice. Gmail especially. Your sender reputation drops, and then the people who actually want your emails start seeing them land in spam or promotions instead of the inbox. A bigger list feels safer. A list stuffed with people who ignore you makes your best campaigns invisible. The fix is boring and it works. Stop emailing anyone who's gone quiet for 120 days. Run one win-back campaign to try to wake them. Let the rest go. I've watched brands brag about a 100,000-person list while their open rate quietly bled out. The two are connected. Size without engagement is the thing dragging you down. Gmail decides where you land based on how real people treat your mail. Send to 100,000 and have 5,000 open, and you look like a spammer. Send to 20,000 and have 10,000 open, and you look like someone people want to hear from. Same brand, very different inbox. You're not shrinking the list to be tidy. You're protecting the deliverability of every email you send to the people who still care.

  With all due respect, I don't think you're looking at the evidence in the Tyler Robinson case rationally or objectively. We probably agree on many issues outside of this, and I appreciate much of the work you've done. But the evidence here is overwhelming. Tyler Robinson was the major DNA contributor on the rifle, towel, and screwdriver. The rifle DNA was at least 1 trillion to 1. Robinson accounted for 95% of the DNA mixture on the towel and 89% on the screwdriver. People are also drawing false conclusions from Robinson's DNA being more degraded. That does not mean other people touched the rifle after him. Robinson is the primary DNA contributor on the rifle. The ATF toolmark analysis could not conclusively match the recovered bullet to the rifle because the bullet was too fragmented. That happens with badly fragmented bullets. They were still able to determine it was a .30-caliber-class bullet, consistent with Robinson's rifle. Investigators collected the evidence before releasing the crime scene. Candace herself released a photo showing Robinson's face, wearing the same hat and maroon shirt, near the murder scene shortly after the killing. His parents identified him in the footage. His boyfriend identified him. Robinson also identified himself. The “bald man with three passengers” claim comes from an eyewitness recollection. The objective evidence points to Tyler Robinson: the video shows only one person getting out of the car and returning to it; a police officer encountered the vehicle and believed the male driver was Robinson; the partial plate matched Robinson's Challenger; Robinson was simultaneously texting that he was sitting in his car near campus trying to recover his rifle; he even complained about how loud the crickets were, and those loud crickets are heard on the Ring-camera footage; and his cellphone data shows a Google Maps route from that same location, next to the rifle stash point, directly back to his home. The defense received Robinson's forensic cellphone data in March. They've had the metadata and digital evidence from Verizon, Google, Gmail, Apple iCloud, Discord, and other sources for months. Joe Kent ran the NCTC, which is an intelligence analysis and coordination body. It is not an investigative agency and does not have subpoena power. I think there is credible evidence that Kent may have been leaking information to Candace that helped fuel Candace's narrative that Israel, France, and Egypt were involved. Meanwhile, there is far stronger evidence of a left-wing ideological motive tied directly to Robinson. He was dating a trans furry, wrote "Hey fascist! Catch!" on his ammunition, and said Charlie spread too much hate. You can keep moving the goalposts and nitpicking individual details, but you cannot logically explain away the totality of the evidence. Robinson's defense hasn't even attempted to. If Robinson's defense had a legitimate alibi or compelling evidence that someone else committed the murder, you would expect them to use it to challenge probable cause before the case is bound over for trial. I don't think they have a solid alibi because the evidence overwhelmingly points to Tyler Robinson murdering Charlie Kirk.
