Besides the description of the scandal for non-Danish audiences, this was also an interesting reflection on the deception inherent in the production of any kind of documentary work, even when it's portrayed as straight CCTV footage. &g

I figured as much — I think that’s similar to how iphone contacts work based on how it prompts me to change my young cousin’s display name to his setting of “mr balls”. Seems very likely that Goldberg (who confesses to being a Signal noob)

Isn't there a substantial difference between someone who has been convicted and has subsequently reformed (at least to the satisfaction of the justice system), versus someone whose indiscretions were never disclosed prior to his employ

I haven't used Signal for group chats, but given that the published screenshot [0] says "Michael Waltz added you to the group", does that not mean that the adding user (Waltz) has Goldberg in his Signals contacts? Even if it

Staggering display of incompetence and carelessness. And unfortunately, one that we’re unlikely to get much transparency about, in terms of how such an operational screwup was allowed to happen. > At 11:44 a.m., the account labeled “Pet
