The article discusses how Kristi Noem, dubbed 'ICE Barbie,' initially criticized her unflattering portrayal on 'South Park' but later attempted to embrace it by updating her social media profile with a modified image from the show. The episode satirized her role as a Homeland Security secretary and her controversial past actions, including shooting her puppy.
Key Points:
Kristi Noem was parodied on 'South Park' for her role as Homeland Security secretary and her past actions, including shooting her puppy.
Noem initially criticized the portrayal as 'lazy' and 'petty' but later tried to own the narrative by sharing a modified image from the episode on social media.
Other MAGA figures, like JD Vance and Charlie Kirk, were also ridiculed in the episode, with some attempting to spin the parody in their favor.
The episode depicted Noem hosting a training video for ICE recruits while gunning down puppies, a scene she later referenced in her social media post.
Noem's attempt to embrace the parody included adding 'laser eyes' to the image, a meme associated with 'Dark MAGA' culture.
"Though she criticized her depiction on the show as 'lazy' and 'petty,' Noem appears to be warming up to the send-up. In addition to sharing a slightly altered image of herself from the episode on X, she updated her profile picture with the same image."

Trump reneged on his 2024 campaign promise to provide free IVF, despite initially framing it as a pro-family policy.
Feminists were skeptical of Trump's promises, recognizing that anti-abortion conservatives often oppose IVF due to their desire to control women's reproductive rights.
Conservative activists celebrated the broken promise, revealing their opposition to IVF as part of a broader agenda to restrict women's autonomy.
The article critiques Trump's dishonesty and the broader conservative stance on reproductive rights, emphasizing the impact on women's healthcare.
"Feminists were always skeptical, noting that many abortion opponents also despise IVF, because what motivates them is not 'babies' but a desire to strip women of control over their bodies and lives."

The article argues that HTTP is not a simple protocol, despite common misconceptions, due to its complex implementation details and historical evolution. The author, with decades of experience, highlights various aspects of HTTP/1 that contribute to its complexity, such as parsing challenges and multiple end-of-body mechanisms.
Key Points:
HTTP/1 may appear simple due to readable text and basic use cases, but its actual implementation is complex.
HTTP/1 has multiple ways to determine the end of a body, leading to security issues and parsing challenges.
Headers in HTTP/1 can be arbitrarily long, folded, or merged, adding to the protocol's complexity.
Features like HTTP Pipelining and the 100 response code were specified but rarely used, complicating implementations.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 accumulate complexity by requiring HTTP/1 implementation and introducing new challenges.
"HTTP is not a simple protocol. Far from it. Even if we presume that people actually mean HTTP/1 when they say that."

OpenFreeMap, a free mapping service, unexpectedly handled 100,000 requests per second due to a surge in traffic from a collaborative drawing website called Wplace.live. Despite the unprecedented load, the service remained largely functional, showcasing the robustness of its architecture. The incident prompted the creator to implement Cloudflare rules to prevent future disruptions and offer assistance to Wplace.live for self-hosting.
Key Points:
OpenFreeMap survived an unexpected spike of 100,000 requests per second, demonstrating its resilient architecture.
The traffic surge was caused by Wplace.live, a collaborative drawing website that grew to 2 million users in days.
Cloudflare's sponsorship and agile support were crucial in managing the bandwidth and traffic.
The creator implemented Cloudflare rules to mitigate future disruptions and offered to help Wplace.live self-host.
The incident highlighted the importance of communication and preparation for sudden traffic spikes.
"As the sole person running OpenFreeMap, I'm incredibly proud of these two numbers. First, that my architecture hit a 99.4% CDN cache rate, which is fantastic for a service with weekly data updates. And second, that my own servers successfully handled the remaining 1,000 requests per second."

The article explores security vulnerabilities in HTTP/2, revealing new classes of threats caused by implementation flaws and RFC imperfections. It details HTTP/2-exclusive desync attacks, request tunnelling techniques, and novel exploit primitives, with case studies targeting high-profile websites and servers.
Key Points:
HTTP/2 introduces new security threats due to implementation flaws and RFC imperfections.
HTTP/2-exclusive desync attacks can hijack clients, poison caches, and steal credentials.
Desync-powered request tunnelling is a widespread but often overlooked vulnerability.
HTTP/2 exposes fresh server-layer and application-layer attack surfaces.
The research includes tooling and techniques to exploit these vulnerabilities.
"HTTP/2 is easily mistaken for a transport-layer protocol that can be swapped in with zero security implications for the website behind it. In this paper, I'll introduce multiple new classes of HTTP/2-exclusive threats caused by both implementation flaws and RFC imperfections."
