How Israeli settlers are weaponizing water against Palestinians in the West Bank

Speaking of things that are definitely not over. On Monday, the New York Times reported the terrific news, “Trump Administration Demands Names of 2020 Election Workers in Georgia.” The sub-headline complained, “The Justice Department again appears to be using the investigative power of the federal government to rehash debunked claims that Democrats stole the 2020 election.”

in reply to YoungBlood

We have been told that counting the ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, was an operation so pure and incorruptible that it made the Vatican look like Tony Soprano’s strip club. If you so much as raised an eyebrow at a sudden 3:00 a.m. ballot dump, or wondered why a burst pipe required everyone to stop counting except for a few highly dedicated volunteers pulling suitcases out from under tables, you were immediately branded a threat to Democracy Itself.™

But all is not well within this immaculate monument to civic perfection. Snags have appeared.

🗳️ Within the last few days, the Department of Justice —now under Todd Blanche’s management— issued a grand jury subpoena to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections. The DOJ is asking for something fairly straightforward: the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the roughly 3,000 election workers and volunteers who touched the ballots in 2020.

With Amazon killing off all the old kindles, they’re super-cheap right now. And it turns out that jailbreaking is a minor faff, but not too difficult, really. This one was £10 and is going to somebody who was pondering getting an expensive eink ebook reader just a couple of weeks ago. 😁

so, anybody who pays attention to my activity on here can see I've been less active lately, I have been having problems, that's just how it goes when living a life like this near the bottom of the economic pile. nevertheless I'm grateful for the assistance I receive and know there is room for improvement in how I cope with bullshit.

chatting with a friend about it, I had this observation: the other nice thing for me is that I've put so much work into rebuilding the system that keeps me aware of what to do, that it's all right there waiting for me after every time I fall on my face, so I can pick back up much faster and forget fewer important things (like the appointment I would've missed 2 days from now if I didn't have this in place)

...this is all built on free software and set up to be resilient and cost almost nothing to maintain, including the hidden cost of adapting to pointless change and selling out your behavioral profile if you do the same thing with Google. it took me years to get as far as I've gotten with it, and it's good to be here. big shout out to the Tasks.org guy (who'll never see this), I've sent him a few bucks in XMR lately. still planning to do a video on that app, it's a lifesaver with DavX5 and a CalDAV storage backend of one's choosing.

us-iran war

Washington Post:

"In total, The Post found 217 buildings and 11 pieces of equipment that were damaged or destroyed at 15 US military facilities in the region.

Experts who studied this analysis said that the damage to the facilities suggests that the US military underestimated Iran's ability to accurately hit targets, did not adapt enough to modern drone warfare, and left some bases insufficiently protected.

'The Iranian strikes were precise. There are no random craters indicating misses,' said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a retired Marine Corps colonel, who studied the Iranian images at our request. Earlier, The Post reported how Russia provided Iran with intelligence data to target American forces.

During the war, Iranian state news agencies repeatedly published their own satellite images of the destruction at American bases.

The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of these Iranian satellite images by comparing them with lower-resolution images from the European Union's Copernicus satellite system, as well as with high-resolution images from Planet, where this was possible. It was not found that any of the Iranian images were falsified."

Using AI chatbots for even just for 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Oxford, and UCLA.

Does this rekindle any memories, anyone?

As a child, After dinner, after me clearing the table, I was supposed to carefully pluck the table cloth together and go out the front door, almost close the door and shake the table cloth so all crumbs and things would fall loose, and then fold the table cloth (carefully, all corners aligned), take it inside and close the front door.

This was late seventies, early eighties, Netherlands. I remember not being the only one in the street doing this.

How modern psychology is turning a genocidal army into a ‘morally injured’ one

me: so while in the short term there would be a population dispersal as large cities struggle to import enough food, most of america's large cities are where they are because those locations have access to waterways and are easily defensible; and so they'd likely remain centres of civilisation in any collapse scenario

All my finals have been completed for my bachelors. The next step will be to get my practicum completed over the summer and getting it paid for. Still waiting to see if I get any Financial Aid so far it does not look like I will so, I have to figure out how to pay for it. And on top of my crazy luck at the end of the semester, my mantis had a key cap fall off. It has been needing a cleaning for a while so I guess sometime when I get more funds I will have to send it in for a cleaning and a repair of the keyboard. At least a few things are falling in place. I will be walking across the stage this Saturday at the University of Akron to congratulate finishing my bachelors. Still working on things on the job front though. Some hopeful looking applications have been turned in and I shall see where they go.

Lansing — Attorney General Dana Nessel's office has charged Metro Detroit businesswoman Fay Beydoun with 16 counts related to the way she spent and documented expenses related to a $20 million state taxpayer-funded grant meant to establish a business accelerator, according to court records.

Comme le dit @uichelorraine, c’est pas si compliqué de faire en sorte que des enfants naissent en France — mais c’est pas avec un « réarmement démographique » et du coaching du cul par manumax que ça va marcher.

En revanche : financer l’hôpital public, l’école, et mettre en place à grand échelle des dispositifs qui permettent aux jeunes une certaine sécurité côté logement (càd pas se faire bananer par des proprios voyous qui louent des cagibis mal isolés), ça aide un peu plus les gens à se projeter.

Ah oui désolé pour ça à un moment il faudra arrêter les cadeaux aux plus riches.

You know how most #AI companies like bumhole-suggestive logos for some reason - #Claude being the perfect example (also #OpenAI, WhatsApp's "MetaAI", etc)?
A philosophical question to ponder: which direction is the bumhole facing? Towards one? Or maybe it's aiming away from one, as one metaphorically craps on anyone downstream with low-quality slop code? Or maybe it's both? I think this needs a poll (not a pole)... #Meta #LLM #LLMs #philosophy
Anus direction:

  • Towards you (66%, 2 votes)
  • Away from you (0%, 0 votes)
  • Both (33%, 1 vote)
  • Neither (0%, 0 votes)
3 voters. Poll end: in 2 days

And why should these numbers correlate? Godot is an engine, not the game itself. First, the game must generate revenue so that the developer can support the engine’s development. Creating a successful game doesn’t happen right away, and not everyone succeeds.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) presents itself as an innocuous Muslim civil rights group—a reputation it reinforces with litigation and claims of anti-Muslim bigotry. But the group finds itself under increasing scrutiny for alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Hamas. Last November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist organization.

in reply to YoungBlood

The following month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed suit, citing CAIR’s being listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorism financing case.

But as other states move to sideline CAIR, California is embracing this alleged terror front. CAIR-CA, the organization’s largest statewide affiliate, is flush with taxpayer cash. In the last five years, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has rubberstamped at least $41 million in funding to the group.
