In genocidal regimes like Rwanda and Nazi Germany, media plays key role inciting hate & dehumanizing victims, thus normalizing genocide. Israeli media has followed suit. Human rights suit accuses Israel's Channel 14 of incitement to genocide.

I have a #MeerMittwoch mystery for you today! A few years ago in #Hawaii I came across a beautiful rock in a tide pool that I took a photo of, only to realize later that it might not be a rock, because rocks don't usually come with Chinese characters on them. Can anyone tell what this says and what this might actually have been a part of?

Since this has come up a few times, going to pin this here for future reference. If you use a Pi-Hole or similar product and use this troon's blocklist (github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklis…) "hagezi/dns-blocklists" you're going to have issues with a large chunk of Fedi. From big players like Poast, NCD, to smaller ones like Tsundere, we're not heckin wholesome chungus so we're on the block list.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is looking to get the Big Apple on a tighter budget,and seems to see cuts to the New York Police Department (NYPD)as a way of getting the city back on track.

Mamdani's predecessor,Mayor Eric Adams, proposed at the end of his term that the city hire 5,000 more NYPD officers. However,upon entering office, Mamdani moved to cancel all orders signed by Adams following his Sept. 26, 2024, indictment. This included the proposed NYPD personnel increase.

Στιγμιότυπα από το συναπάντημα της διαδήλωσης για τις δολοφονημένες εργάτριες της Βιολάντα με την κινητοποίηση των οπαδών του Σάχη στις 14/2 στα Προπύλαια

Με το σύνθημα «Free Free Palestine» και «Οι λαοί Νικούν με το όπλο στο χέρι κι αυτό η Παλαιστίνη πολύ καλά το ξέρει» αντιμετώπισαν διαδηλωτές/τριες της κινητοποίησης για τις δολοφονημένες εργάτριες της Βιολάντα, την πορεία των οπαδών του Σάχη που πραγματοποιούνταν την ίδια ώρα στα Προπύλαια το Σάββατο 14 Φεβρουαρίου.

Οι Ιρανοί οπαδοί της αιματοβαμμένης φιλοοσιωνιστικής και φιλοαμερικανικής μοναρχίας του Σάχη, της οποίας την επιστροφή διεκδικούν μέσω των όπλων ΗΠΑ Ισραήλ, κρατούσαν πορτρέτα του Σάχη και τη σημαία του σαχικού καθεστώτος, καθώς και ουκρανική σημαία ενώ εθεάθη για λίγο και μια σημαία του Ισραήλ. Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι η στάση κάποιων εξ αυτών ήταν ιδιαιτέρως προκλητική με χειρονομίες και βρισιές προς τους συγκεντρωμένους της διαδήλωσης για τη Βιολάντα.

Η φωτογραφία είναι καρέ από βίντεο που έχει αναρτήσει Ιρανός οπαδός του Σάχη στο διαδίκτυο, το οποίο μάλιστα διανθίζει με υβριστικά σχόλια κατά του κόσμου του αγώνα.

Monopoly Deal c'est 1 jeu de cartes super sympa !
J'en avais eu un il y a plusieurs années ms ma femme n'avait pas accroché, je l'avais quasi de suite bazardé, alors depuis pas mal de tps je jouais seul sur mobile. Lundi j'en ai trouvé un pas cher à Auchan, j'ai insisté pr l'acheter, j'ai joué avec mon fils qui a tt de suite accroché. Et du coup… J'ai entendu ma femme me dire "Bon, ben, je jouerai avec toi chéri, il est sympa ce jeu !"

But du jeu, être le premier à rassembler 3 groupes de propriété complets (rues 🟤🟣🟠🟡🔴🟢🔵, gares⚫ ou services publics⚪)

Mais certaines cartes pimentent le jeu : vol ou échange de propriétés, vol de groupes, double loyer... Et on paye uniquement avec les cartes sur la table.
Pas de cartes "billets" ? Il faut payer avec... Des propriétés !
Pas la somme exacte ? Pas de rendu de monnaie !

Parties rapides de 15 minutes enivrantes, on a envie d'enchaîner !

I fixed this meme that has been circulating.

President Trump is the hero of the Epstein case. The Epstein files prove it. President Trump had zero communication with Epstein, and the Palm Beach Police Chief confirmed to the FBI that Trump was one of the first people to report Epstein back in 2006. Trump is literally Batman.

"Στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας, καταγράψαμε την εργασία Νεπαλέζων σε πληθώρα περιοχών της Πελοποννήσου, της Βοιωτίας, και της κεντρικής Ελλάδας, όπου -όπως εν γένει οι μετανάστες εργάτες γης- διαμένουν σε εξαθλιωτικές συνθήκες.

Οι «τελικοί λήπτες της υπηρεσίας» τους, όπως το έθεσε η έδρα στο δικαστήριο υπόθεσης που παρακολουθήσαμε, είναι Έλληνες παραγωγοί. Αλλά παρότι σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις ταυτοποιήθηκαν, οι ίδιοι και οι επιστάτες τους, η αστυνομική έρευνα αποφάσισε να τους αφήσει εκτός κάδρου.

Δεν διερευνήθηκε ο δικός τους ρόλος – δεν κλήθηκαν καν να καταθέσουν ως μάρτυρες.

Όσον αφορά τα ίδια τα θύματα, σε πολλές περιπτώσεις βρέθηκαν να τίθενται υπό διοικητική κράτηση ή και να επιστρέφουν στην πατρίδα τους, δίχως οποιαδήποτε προστασία."

Νέο κρεσέντο αυταρχισμού στο ΑΠΘ - Δεκάδες συλλήψεις στην Πολυτεχνική σχολή

Προηγήθηκε προβολή ταινίας, αλλά οι πρυτανικές αρχές έχουν απαγορεύσει εκδηλώσεις μετά τις 22:00 στο πανεπιστήμιο
"Ντου»" ΟΠΚΕ, ΜΑΤ και κρατικής ασφάλειας.

efsyn.gr/ellada/koinonia/50133…

Ηαστυνομική και πρυτανική αυθαιρεσία του ΑΠΘ εκδηλώθηκε στο μεγαλείο της καθώς, η ΕΛΑΣ ανακοίνωσε αστυνομική επιχείρηση το βράδυ μετά τα μεσάνυχτα, η οποία οδήγησε σε 48 προσαγωγές και σε 38 συλλήψεις.

Τα άτομα συνελήφθησαν για «διατάραξη λειτουργίας υπηρεσίας».

Η αστυνομική επιχείρηση έρχεται μετά την την απόφαση των πρυτανικών αρχών να απαγορεύσουν εκδηλώσεις μετά τις 22:00, που δεν έχουν ακαδημαϊκό και ερευνητικό χαρακτήρα, στον απόηχο των πρόσφατων επεισοδίων.

@mhjohnson “live updates” every 15 mins. My sports site of choice would have play by play “updates”, probably about 60 sec. behind live play. But because NBC controls the broadcast, they can’t do the live play by play. The actual Olympic site that you linked is the same garbage the NBC gives me. The coverage has been terrible from Day 1.

"We are sailing to Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people.

The Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival.

The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.

That is why we are launching the Nuestra América Flotilla, setting sail from across the Caribbean Sea in solidarity with the Cuban people.

And we are asking for your support, to help us prepare the mission and purchase the food and medicine that we will bring to the Cuban people.

Together, we can break the siege, save lives, and stand up for the cause of Cuban self-determination.

Join us, as we convene peoples from across the world and prepare for departure next month."

In previous years, I published two "fediverse tech roadmap" posts:

- Fediverse tech roadmap 2024
- Fediverse tech roadmap 2025

However, I didn't publish such post this year because not much has happened in 2025. Many problems I talked about require complex solutions, but unfortunately proposed solutions are often very limited or lead to centralization. Or worse, there is no solution but only an imitation of work. I don't want to write about that.

I saw a thread today where ATProto ecosystem was compared to #ActivityPub. Things are happening in the Atmosphere, but not in Fediverse. MAU graphs are flat. What's going on?

There are multiple factors at play, but I think fake activity may be the biggest contributor. Trivial developments presented as breakthroughs. Features that already exist somewhere in Fediverse presented as new inventions. Vaporware. Specs written by people who have no idea how to implement them. Working groups that do nothing but meetings.

Real work is ignored, competent developers see that and quit.

We need to fix this.

For my part, I will continue to document #Fediverse development at @weekinfediverse. But this newsletter doesn't have much impact.

I’m not sure giving President Trump the credit for this is accurate. I’m inclined to believe that insurance adjusters have put their foot down and told the hospitals that they will withdraw coverage because of the intense liability.

Folks, can you BELIEVE it? George Costanza, was Deputy Director of the FBI for a MONTH under Sleepy Joe? SAD! A TOTAL DISASTER! This is what happens when you let LOW-ENERGY, not-smart people get anywhere near our GREATEST institutions! You'd have files misplaced, investigations stalled because he couldn't find a good parking spot, and probably classified documents used as coasters for his diet coke! He'd be worried about getting caught napping under his desk, or trying to expense a marble rye! Leakin' James Comey was bad, but Goofy George? He'd make Comey look like a GENIUS! This is why we need STRONG leadership, folks, not some bonehead who can't even keep a job at Vandelay Industries! Make the FBI Great Again — because when Trump leads, we have WINNERS, not WHINERS! 🇺🇸💥

One of the occasionally heartbreaking aspects of studying surveillance tech is being swept into long email chains (often with dozens or more prominent recipients) from people convinced they’re being personally targeted and persecuted by giant conspiracies of some sort. It’s clear they’re deeply hurting and need help, but it’s of a kind I’m unqualified to provide.

It’s generally kindest not to engage, but it always saddens me.

Got three of those recently. Something’s going around.

in reply to Matt Blaze

I feel bad for folks who suffer from those delusions because the Epstein file release has done them no favors.

While there are clearly conspiracies within the documents and those should be brought to justice, not every association implies a conspiracy. But for the sort who want to believe in a shadowy cabal controlling the world, boy howdy has knowing all these people talk to each other given them something to latch onto to blame all their problems on. 😞

But they want to give the people ‘regenerated’ water. They named the state the paradise of data centers, but it’s the State of Extinction, because we don’t have water.
