Please, don’t forget us… Hope is fading as donations slow down. We’re holding on to the little hope we have left. All we’re asking for now is to secure the most basic rights in life: Food, water, and medicine for my sick father. Please, stand with us. Your support keeps us alive. #gaza
I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza.

I used to suspect that the whale statue in front of the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, aka "Sandy the Gray Whale" was cast from the same moldings as the whale statue in front of the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History.
Having investigated such things again now (despite having been local to the areas in my youth), it appears as if the Santa Cruz equivalent in Tyrrell Park has apparently been updated in 2025 and now has a baby whale companion! Whoa!
So I have no idea about their potential relation anymore!
The whale statue @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io shared is also new to me, but to my eyes? The barnacles do not appear as if they are to a consistent scale. ;)

Analysis: "In conditions like the conditions the Palestinian people in Gaza face today, the concept of free choice is a lie."
“Israel has no right even to be in Gaza or in the West Bank.. everything Israel does there.. is also illegal, including in implementing any of these plans for forced displacement whether within or outside of Gaza."
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them... maybe you can hire..."
"just mad at myself for being upset and then feeling bad."
Been there. As a sage friend of mine once phrased it: "I eventually learned to stop beating myself up, for beating myself up."
Admittedly, I am not sure if I figured out that friend's solution for myself? His way of phrasing it was helpful framing to at least attempt to acknowledge when I am caught up in some similar mental anguish loop.
For me, changing scenery is a methodology that I find is sometimes helpful? Going for a walk in nature if possible, far away from humans and their noises is ideal! A babbling brook, raging rapids, or the moon reflected in an ocean with waves crashing seem to be fantastic for me when I can enjoy such things.
Rain drops, while soaking in some rustic hot springs far away from most signs of so-called "civilization"? Better still!
Unfortunately, it is not always easy or possible to change scenery to such realms without significant effort and often expenses.
Simpler things, such as making an herbal tisane, the meditative qualities of watching steam "peel" off the "skin" of the tea cup, help to slow down and be in the moment, a different moment than incessant negative thoughts.
Tea kettles and water and loose leaves are not always readily available.
So perhaps some headphones, and a song, or album, or something musical can be helpful, for me at least, to have another frame of reference when I am in exceedingly urban hellscapes full of human maladies.
Barring that, earplugs.
Admittedly, reducing inputs from the world around me that I find harrowing isn't the be all end all, but a starting point.
If stuck with human trappings and no good tunes are readily available, vegging out to some movies or something similar (ideally: comedic in nature if looking for levity) might be beneficial?
No doubt, if the negative thoughts are persistent (as they often are in my experience) such strategies may be of limited utility, but even temporary distractions can still be welcome in my experience.
Well, Bazzite just obliterated one of the last reasons I was still clinging to Windows 11.
My living room PC has an RTX 3090, yet Windows still won’t run anything at 4K 60fps. It caps out at 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps—no matter what I do. For years, I blamed the TV. Thought maybe I cheaped out. Spent all this money on a high-end rig, and it never delivered what I wanted.
Then I docked my wife’s Legion Go. It dual-boots Windows 11 and Bazzite.
Guess what? Same problem on Windows. But boot into Bazzite? Boom—4K at 60fps, no issue.
Turns out it wasn’t the TV. It was Windows.
Once again, Linux quietly proves it’s the better OS for gaming.
Fuck. Sorry bro, I think I ripped her asshole. My cock is just too big for her dirty tail pipe. How come you said you love fucking her in the ass? You got some skinny dick or something cuz mine barely fitted.
Universities and artists face funding threat under antisemitism plan being considered by Australian government | Australian politics | The Guardian theguardian.com/australia-news…
"The report recommended all levels of government adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism. However that definition is contested in some quarters, with some concerns it was increasingly being used to conflate antisemitism with criticism of Israel."

The Empire Is A Nonstop Insult To Our Intelligence
The US has imposed sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for using her position to oppose the most thoroughly documented genocide in history. caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-empire…
Corporate media is more outraged at the possibility of a Democratic socialist entering the NY Mayors office than at the certainty that a white supremacist has reentered the White House.
Corporate politicians are more outraged that Mamdani won't condemn something he didn't say than they are at Trump repeating racist things he definitely said.
Silicon Valley is more accepting of a racist who dehumanizes Muslims than they are of a Muslim who defies billionaires.
The Great Depression can be seen as a sort of (very painful) correction to wealth inequality. 2008 can be seen as an aborted correction of the same type. Without that correction, we have now reached the point where the wealthy are so far ahead that they can be blatant about their ownership of the government, and there is mass unrest. They turn us against each other instead of against them. And so fascism is born.
U.S. Tourism Just Lost Its Big-Spending Tourists To Its Friendliest Ally
data from the World Travel and #Tourism Council suggests that the only country among 184 globally to experience a decline in international tourist spending in 2025 will be the United States
The US tourism industry will lose over $12 Billion this year
European Travelers Are Skipping The U.S. For Toronto
“Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have gained access to a massive database of health and car insurance claims and are using it to track down people they want to deport”
The database, called ISO ClaimSearch, is nearly all encompassing and contains details on more than 1.8 billion insurance claims and 58 million medical bills.
"Albanese said on Wednesday that the governments of Italy, France and Greece needed to explain why they provided “safe passage” to Netanyahu, who they were theoretically “obligated to arrest” as an internationally wanted suspect when he flew over their territory on his way to meet United States President Donald Trump on Sunday for talks."
McDonald's uses an AI bot to do hiring, and it stored the personal data of everyone who applied, hidden by the security equivalent of a post-it note saying "plz no steal".
After her parents, sister and husband were killed in a bombing, Lubnah prayed they would be the last victims of the war.
Her father, Dr Marwan al-Sultan, was one of Gaza’s most respected physicians, the director of the Indonesian Hospital and one of only two surviving cardiologists in the Strip.
On July 2, an Israeli bomb killed him alongside his wife, Dhikra, their daughter, Lamees, his sister, Amneh, and his son-in-law, Mohammed, Lubnah’s husband.
In recent days, attacks on tents and residential buildings in Gaza City and Deir el-Balah killed dozens of Palestinians, including medics and their families.
As far as I can tell, the DNC does not adopt policies with broad appeal across both parties. The DNC instead concentrates on narrow policies supported by some wealthy donors, and shit talks the GOP.
I mean, it worked for the NYC mayoral race, right?
@violetmadder As long as the donors are funding the DNC and their circle of consultants and strategists, election results seem optional. I mean, what are the plebs going to do about it - vote for the 3rd party?
The DNC is the political equivalent of a non-profit company that doesn't really do anything to make the world better, but all the executives make excellent salaries and the company runs expensive, tasteful advertising about their corporate success.
To avoid confusion, I don't favor Democrats over Republicans, and not the other way around either. I consider them both parasites.
And here's a more controversial opinion: although Mamdani distanced himself from the rest of the herd and went more socialist and offered something more of substance, I am skeptical about him because of his resorting to "vibes".
I prefer boring people who address our minds, not performative entertaining sales persons.
Tbf, in his case I think it's both vibes *and* policy. He's pledged 65 million to trans kids, government owned grocery stores, and his campaign was generally focused on how unaffordable NYC is for working class folk. It's just that he's so charming (and his character has been smeared so constantly) that his policies don't get talked about much.
Absolutely. It's why I said he offered something of substance. His message resonated with people, unlike, say, Kamala Harris.
Perhaps it's just me, I tend to be skeptical whenever someone employs entertainment or vibes; what I call a sales personality. It immediately subtracts from their genuinity.
Maybe he's just trying all possible means and I should give him the benefit of the doubt.
I don't wanna make fun of Indians, they're the victims of companies like “builder.ai” or the “Amazon Go” store, which all claimed to have some newfound magical box, when in reality they had off-shore teams working day and night to make whatever idiotic thing they promised possible.
Even before the ChatGPT hype I visited seminars where they talked about click-farms, where people in the global south were paid cents by the hours simply to mark on images what pixel belongs to one object and which to the other.
Whatever AI will become, I will never forget the blood it was built on. With capitalism, there's no magic, it's just exploitation, every time.

Longtime Washington Post columnist Joe Davidson recently resigned after the paper — which is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — killed his latest column for being "too opinionated.
Three years ago today, in Sri Lanka, a combative crowd stormed the Presidential Palace, the Presidential Secretariat, and the prime minister's residence, forcing the president to flee the country.
The struggle is far from over in Sri Lanka, just as it is far from over in the US.
But it's important to remember that when we fight, we can win.
Maybe I'll summarize my experiences later? My favorite talk was without a doubt @ic3qu33n@infosec.exchange's on EBC (admittedly, perhaps the only talk to even make mention of the demo scene which is near and dear to my heart). Dr. @azonenberg@ioc.exchange's presentation was also outstandingly excellent!
Met some neat new folks, did not see as many old familiar faces as I was hoping, but am still very grateful to have had such an enjoyable experience!
Thanks to Hugo, Anne, Cat, David, the PHRACK crew for their special edition physical release and everyone else whom I failed to mention in these humble greets explicitly who made it come together!
@Max_Imum I've done toe in for the past 30 ish years. Putting it all in right now ain't the best decision financially. But the call to risk it is swelling. Soon, that rusty wire holding that cork will break. So I tell myself at 56 years. 😉
I'll say it again: If you're writing software for self-hosting or will otherwise never see more than a few transactions per second, there's absolutely no reason to bust out Postgres or even worse MongoDB.

The US imposed sanctions on the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, citing her work on Gaza.
The president of the United States is compromised, obviously, and no one will admit it or prosecute it because they're also compromised (not because it's not true).
This is how oligarchs control the policy apparatus known as government, the crown jewel of the oligarch power stack.
