โIt is time to retire this 18th-century invention that disenfranchises millions of Americans,โ Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a press release.
Well. The idiots need a convention of states, good luck, the current "convention of states" is not going anywhere at the moment.

Peter #Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The People #Johnstone
Billionaire Peter Thiel had a fascinating televised moment the other day when asked by Piers Morgan what he thought about the public making a hero of the man suspected of murdering #health-insurance CEO Brian #Thompson. The way he stumbled and stuttered when trying to answer the question gives a lot of insight into how terrified such people are of the public turning against them one day.
โAnd to those who think this shooter is a hero, because he did it because he said this healthcare executive is presiding over a healthcare system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover, what would you say to them?โ Morgan asked. [...]
For those who donโt know, Thiel is a proper deep state oligarch who owes his vast fortune to his enmeshment within the US military-intelligence machine. His company #Palantir is a #CIA-backed #surveillance and data mining tech company with intimate ties to both the US intelligence cartel and to #Israel, playing a crucial role in both the US empireโs sprawling surveillance network and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. He backed #Trump in 2016, and Vice President-Elect JD Vance was a protรฉgรฉ of his, so this man is thoroughly entrenched in the halls of power.
Thielโs blustering response when asked what he thought about the public support we are seeing for the practice of assassinating health insurance CEOs reveals a lot about the kinds of things that keep men like Peter Thiel up at night. [...] caitlinjohnst.one/p/peter-thieโฆ #US #USA

Here we show, based on our analysis of a newly identified genus, Anadoluvius, from the 8.7โMa site of รorakyerler in central Anatolia, that Mediterranean fossil apes are diverse, and are part of the first known radiation of early members of the hominines. The members of this radiation are currently only identified in Europe and Anatolia; generally accepted hominins are only found in Africa from the late Miocene until the Pleistocene. Hominines may have originated in Eurasia during the late Miocene, or they may have dispersed into Eurasia from an unknown African ancestor. The diversity of hominines in Eurasia suggests an in situ origin but does not exclude a dispersal hypothesis.
An 8.7 million year old ape from Tรผrkiye shows that Mediterranean fossil apes are diverse and part of the first known radiation of hominines (African apes and humans). Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that hominines originate in Europe.

#Palestine / Israelโs Supreme Court orders demolition of illegal settlement construction on Palestinian land near Nabi Aner, 7 years after the case was filed
The case, filed in December 2017 by the head of Ras Karkar village council, two residents of Deir Amar village, and the human rights organizations Yesh Din and Emek Shaveh, challenged the illegal construction and takeover of the Nabi Aner archaeological site.
The site, partially located on Palestinian-owned land near Ramallah, contains significant cultural heritage including springs, a mosque, and ruins of historical structures. Since the early 2000s, Palestinian landowners have experienced severe violence from Israeli settlers, hindering access to the site. Israeli settlers subsequently transformed the area into a recreational site, illegally constructing pools, pathways, and other structures, even boasting about displacing Palestinians.
Despite repeated appeals to authorities, the illegal construction continued. The Israeli government attempted to delay enforcement by citing the โRegularization Law,โ but the Supreme Court rejected this argument in 2020. Finally, on December 17, 2024, the court ruled in favor of the petitioners, ordering the demolition of illegal structures within six months and the restoration of the site to its pre-occupation state.
The court emphasized the state's obligation to protect Palestinian property rights and ensure access to heritage sites. The ruling also criticized the government and prosecution for their handling of the case.
Photo: Settlers after they encroached upon the Nabi Aner site, which served to irrigate the lands of the villages of Ras Karkar and Deir Amar. This is part of a widespread phenomenon of โsettlement tourismโ, which involves taking over Palestinian lands and claiming them to be public goods (while violently denying access to the rightful owners of course).
Nordids, a.k.a. "Nordics", are strongly depigmented, orthognathic and leptomorphic dolicho-mesocephals of northern Europe. The general Nordid type probably evolved through the blending of gracilized northern European Cro-Magnoids (robust broad-faced Upper Paleolithic types) with various types, including tall leptomorphs associated with the Battle-Axe and Boat-Axe peoples, who entered Europe from the Eurasian steppes (carrying the Corded type with them), penetrating the various Nordid-formative territories in several consecutive waves. The resulting blends were subsequently stabilized, and the resultant types further specialized, to yield the present Nordid varieties. The ancestral Corded type (named after its association with the Corded Ware culture), with its high vault and long head, was skeletally "nordiform" (approaching a Nordid), or perhaps Mediterranid (of a larger, more robust variety).

Este es el primer castillo que he construido, para ser el primero estoy bastante contento con el resultado. Poco a poco iremos creando cosas mรกs complejas.
Hoy: la Torre de la Hechicera. En las profundidades del bosque se encuentra esta imponente torre. Construรญda hace generaciones por los elfos, se yergue hacia las alturas, donde los vientos de la magia soplan con mayor fuerza. Los elfos llamaban a esta estructura "Tol athellas", la isla de las hojas sanadoras. Pero los elfos hace tiempo que se marcharon, y ahora se supone abandonada... o quizรก no.
Y mรกs #TinyGlade (hoy ha sido, ejem, productivo).
El campo de justas, el lugar donde el seรฑor del castillo gusta de celebrar cualquier acontecimiento, y a donde todos los caballeros del Reino se dirigen para batirse en duelo, lanza en ristre, para alzarse con el honor y la gloria y la admiraciรณn de la plebe.
Bueno, sigo con el #TinyGlade (perdรณn por dar la turra, si no querรฉis verlo os sugiero silenciar el hashtag).
Estos dรญas he estado haciendo cosas tรญpicas de poblado medieval tรญpico. Por ejemplo, el tรญpico pozo. Tambiรฉn, y como no podรญa ser de otra forma, una taberna donde nuestros hรฉroes se reรบnen frente a una pinta de cerveza tras una aventura.
Otra cosa que me he fijado es que todo el mundo hace poblados medievales con sus puentes, fuentes, casas, posadas, castillos, iglesias, etc. Pero casi nadie (bueno, no he visto a nadie aรบn) repara en dos edificaciones tรญpicas de los poblados medievales; el lavadero pรบblico (donde se lavaba la ropa a mano, aprovechando el rio) y el horno comunal (un horno de piedra a disposiciรณn de la gente del pueblo para hacer pan, por ejemplo).
No os pensรฉis que he abandonado el #TinyGlade, yo sigo haciendo cosas. Por ejemplo รบltimamente he estado refinando este pueblo para incorporar su iglesia con cementerio y campana, una fuente de agua e incluso un hรณrreo:
Hoy mismo acaban de poner en el #TinyGlade la opciรณn de mover, duplicar y rotar los objetos que salen aleatรณreamente como ruedas, sillas, bancos o barriles, lo que significa que adiรณs a mi vida social.
Pero el juego este ยฟtiene objetivos? o es en plan creativo que haces mapitas hasta aburrirte? me genera curiosidad y los pantallazos son muy bonitos pero me parece que sin objetivos/una direcciรณn me aburrirรฉ pronto :/
Una pregunta, de profano a historiador: ยฟEra muy comรบn que hubiera lavaderos en las ciudades? Porque es la tรญpica cosa que en los pueblos pequeรฑos es construcciรณn del siglo XIX, regalo de algรบn indiano.

Another very important testimony on what happened in the now infamous #Russia - #Ukraine peace negotiations in Tรผrkiye, 6 weeks into the war.
This time by Jean-Daniel #Ruch ๐, who was Switzerland's ambassador to Tรผrkiye at the time.
He confirms other accounts that it is the West - specifically "the Americans with their British allies" - that "pulled the plug on the negotiations" when they were "on the edge" of succeeding. He says they did so because they thought it was too early and they wanted to "first weaken Russia".
As he describes it, he found the decision "deeply immoral" because "it was clear at that time that if the war continued there would be an escalation and the dead would be at least in the tens of thousands, more likely in the hundreds of thousands".
He asks, rhetorically: "why did all these people die?" because now "they may have weakened Russia but they weakened the whole West at the same time, maybe not the Americans but certainly Europe." Also, if a peace deal was done today, it would still "pretty much be based on what was negotiated in Istanbul", assuming the Russians are still willing, a tall order given he's "not so sure that the Russians are prepared to compromise today."

Un autre tรฉmoignage trรจs important sur ce qui s'est passรฉ lors des dรฉsormais tristement cรฉlรจbres nรฉgociations de paix entre la #Russie et l' #Ukraine en Turquie, 6 semaines aprรจs le dรฉbut de la guerre.
Jean-Daniel #Ruch, qui รฉtait ร l'รฉpoque ambassadeur de #Suisse en #Turquie, confirme d'autres tรฉmoignages selon lesquels ce sont les Occidentaux, et notamment ยซles Amรฉricains et leurs alliรฉs britanniquesยป, qui ont ยซinterrompu les nรฉgociationsยป alors qu'elles รฉtaient ยซsur le pointยป de rรฉussir. Selon lui, ils l'ont fait parce qu'ils pensaient qu'il รฉtait trop tรดt et qu'ils voulaient ยซd'abord affaiblir la Russieยป.
Selon lui, cette dรฉcision รฉtait ยซprofondรฉment immoraleยป car ยซil รฉtait clair ร l'รฉpoque que si la guerre continuait, il y aurait une escalade et les morts se compteraient au moins en dizaines de milliers, voire en centaines de milliersยป.
Il demande, de maniรจre rhรฉtorique : ยซPourquoi tous ces gens sont-ils morts ?ยป car ยซils ont peut-รชtre affaibli la Russie, mais ils ont affaibli en mรชme temps tout lโOccident, peut-รชtre pas les #USA, mais certainement lโEurope.ยป De plus, si un accord de paix รฉtait conclu aujourdโhui, il ยซserait toujours basรฉ en grande partie sur ce qui a รฉtรฉ nรฉgociรฉ ร Istanbulยป, en supposant que les Russes soient toujours disposรฉs, une tรขche difficile รฉtant donnรฉ quโil nโest ยซpas si sรปr que les Russes soient prรชts ร faire des compromis aujourdโhui.ยป

If you think the current democratic party is anything but useless you haven't been paying attention. Do they represent your interests? They haven't represented mine. Ever. If I'm being honest. The only reason I'm in this fucking party is because I hate the Republicans even more.
It doesn't matter what I think, or what you think. It's the majority that matters and the majority of Democrats are NOT going to all switch to this new hypothetical party you propose.
Of course not, because there is nothing for anyone to switch to. But our current political system isn't working for a lot of people, and a lot of people are frustrated and fed up. One of these days the shit will hit the fan. #USpol
Life pro tip: People won't know how you feel unless you tell them.
If you like someone, tell them. If you're mad at someone, tell them. If you've got a crush on someone, tell them. If you're disappointed in someone, tell them. If you're confused by someone, tell them. If someone makes you joyful, tell them.
Whatever emotion you have that you want someone else to understand, you're going to have to put on your big adult pants and actually tell them what you want them to know. They're not going to just figure it out any other way.

If only I was a programmer, would love to see someone developing a decentralized search engine ๐ then we could tell them all were to go... Decentralized Fediverse, decentralized XMPP chat, decentralized email and now.... ๐
Edit: The one I've been looking at as an example is Goosle since its in PHP, the language I work with.
oooooh okay. i saw that it wasnt stable and i saw that it aggregated from other search engines. but i didnt realize it wasnt the decentralized solution you were describing.
Hehe, I've been looking for a few months now, trying to find out if anyone was doing it. There is a number of search engines in open source but I haven't found a decentralized system...
My thoughts: 100 servers looks at 1,000 sites per day and syncing with each other... Keeping the load down for each other and having a NON AI infested search engine.
I only really work with PHP and was thinking that other programers would have a better/faster idea than that language.
yeah i wish i could help you. my programming knowledge = 0. finally learned some basic html, trying to find time to get to css. i think C or maybe C++ will be the first proper language i devote myself too.
it shouldnt be that hard for you to learn. the syntax is simple. hold on i got some good resources i was working through before i decided to spend my efforts elsewhere

(The Center Square) - A poll found 41% of adults younger than 30 say the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was acceptable while more than the 40% in that same demographic consider it unacceptable.
Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said younger voters diverge from the majority on several issues, including Thompson's murder.
Perhaps the end of our patience with the murder & maiming of We The People by Big Pharma & the Medical Industrial Complex will force the US Congress to do something to stop the Crimes Against Humanity that is ongoing. And, while they're at it, get the damn drug ads off TV that are running 24/7.

Iโve been thinking through a lot of the feedback on (and things I've learned about peoples' perception of) @flathub's MetaInfo quality guidelines. I think I'd like to iterate a bit on how we present/talk about them; it could be helpful to make them more "branded" in a way to help make it more clear that they're really more of an opinionated, almost editorial thing.
I'm still brainstorming, but rather than inconsistently using "quality guidelines," "quality checks," and "high quality app data," I think I'd like to align on something more specificโplus some sort of consistent iconography. Even consistently using "Flathub Quality Guidelines" and e.g. a โ icon would be an improvement, but I think people are still tripped up by "guidelines" and it still doesn't convey that these are criteria to be featured as an app of the day or in the weekly banner rotation.
I'm thinking something along the lines of "Exemplar" but that sounds maybe a bit *too* fancy/out there. Paired with a laurels icon, thoughโฆ it could work. ๐ค
Apps that meet them make Flathub look better and are also eligible to be featured in the big weekly rotating banner and as the "app of the day" on the flathub.org home page (among a few other things).
The issue I see is that many apps have the same icon/name they had for ages and both are major brand identifiers. I understand the guidelines in regards to those from a desingers perspective but I feel like there should be limits to how much you want to interfere as an app distribution platform and especially uneven treatment like exceptions just because the app is big (E.g. GIMP) seem like a bad idea to me too.

Or if you're into #mmt #manga , there's this. Taxpayers do not fund national governments who issue their own currency and have a high degree of monetary sovereignty, as Canada does...
...as Canada's own data on its sources of borrowings show, 97.9 percent of borrowings are its own Treasury Bills or bonds, all of which are payable in Canadian currency.
Modern Monetary Theory explains that a country that issues its own currency (like the UK and USA), can instruct its Central Bank to credit the money into an
@pluralistic but now its... now we print as much as we want to the capitalist class and when things get bad we take it away from everyone. ...brilliant
One can argue the government defacto issues the money, but whether democrats or republicans, whether ancient history or now. We all observe where the budget goes and we all know the Politicians, their transition into business, their positions in many boards
There is so much wealth and there is who can buy that wealth and its always the capitalists. They are rich, connected and in politics and business and "the masses of people" never get printed money proportionally
VCs, (Investment) Banks, etc... the rich capitalists all have access to borrowing money and seeing never ending global debt expansion, money that essentially never gets paid back, thus essentially money printing, so they can pay us all employee salaraies to do what they want. Nobody outside the capitalist class hs access to this. They can buy everything and outspend everyone using this and they do. Governments can borrow too. Soon trumps goverment. ...
@pluralistic Now in the past, before MMT, the point was, that money get paid back with interest, not with money from new money printing loans given to other capitalists or the same... to pay to rhe one that needs to pay back some debt... expanding money supply faster and faster to keep up this ponzi.
Now MMT says... oh, that is fine and if it is ever not, lets use taxes to get money broadly from everyone, to make sure folks dont have too much money. its a bit ridiculous imho
@pluralistic I am not saying MMT is incorrect or wouldnt work, but also, what does MMT actually mean?
It means to acknowledge that money printing is accellerating and the loans being paid back cant really be used to reduce money supply by taking from those who got it printed... but rather money goes somewhere, so lets use taxes to take it from ppl, so they cant spend it, thus prices are stay more stable... less inflation, but ppl can afford less... yay! ๐
