Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of a rare celestial visitor: a comet from beyond our Solar System.
Officially named 3I/ATLAS, this newly identified interstellar object is only the third of its kind ever observed, following the famous 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019.
Don't remember why I don't like Grimerica, so giving that another chance. Also trying the Millennial Media Offensive. And some random podcasts from a libertarian podcast list.
I'm looking for podcasts - with good sound quality - that are entertaining - that leave me feeling smarter at the end.
Point 1 is the real struggle. A lot of podcasts are poorly recorded, and I have no tolerance for that. Also, I usually listen in the car, so there's a lot going on, aurally.

@scottdhansen They are decent for geopolitics. They still thought Trump was winging it with the Iran strike. They do not understand Trump and are very pro Russia. They have been dead on with Ukraine /Russia conflict though.
BTW Russia is coming up the Southern Pivot -- I know I say it all the time -- but looks like they finished taking the last town that spans the coastal edge of the next to the last defensive line guarding the major Eastern supply route to the South (1/2). Once they get fire control there then they can collapse the last real defensive line.
Ukraine is still scrambling to send men down to defend, but looks like it's going to be too late to hold off a late Summer sweep. Likely why the US halted arms shipments as they will just be in Russia's hands as much as we have no stock left.
I talk to other "warlords" from time to time. Ukraine is set to collapse now Russia is bombing their recruitment centers and the local citizens are cheering them on -- right before elections in Ukraine. :3
Houseplants are such a barometer of self care, although the flower pictured here is one I made from paper.
I have a weekly alert to water the houseplants, but it’s usually just a backup to remind me if I’ve been preoccupied. If I’ve been taking time for myself, I’ll water when they catch my attention by loosing their alertness, like a drooping ficus leaf or a leaning peace lily spike. This week both the plants and I have been thirsty, despite the break from the heat. I’m noticing I’m drinking more water, even though I’ve been avoiding going out during the hottest part of the day. Are you staying hydrated? Despite the bright hues, this color combination feels cooling to me. The green section below the “flower” unravels. I hid gifts inside the paper heliconia as I glued the spathes together. #bloomscrolling #color #fediart #houseplants

I very much admire Lara Logan. She is a fine journalist with keen instincts, but I have mixed feelings about the cleavage-revealing wardrobe she favors for her appearances and interviews.
One would dismiss her credentials at their peril if they base their opinion on how she dresses, and maybe that's a strategy on her part.
But I find it curious....
@Phil - you can thank me later for being the straight man for whatever you're going to say...
The cleavage helps her expand her audience and get her message across. It also helps keep men from recognizing her face, which helps to mitigate the negatives effects of fame.
@MissusTruth__1776 Details of Logan's gang rape are brutal. So much so that she continues to experience significant, long-term health consequences and has required repeated medical interventions since the attack. A special ring of hell awaits the men who did this to her
It was awful beyond belief. Thankful for cleavage loving men like you to stand up for actual women who’ve survived horrific crimes like Logan did. Loving cleavage comes with that “manly” territory. I believe this is how God designed men and women.
I know timing is everything, and everyone is mired down in congressional news, but let's not forget that "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues" releases this September! It's been 40 years* since Rob Reiner and cast unleashed the cult classic Spinal Tap. Let's do this. #SpinalTap #spinaltap2 *sorry to remind you.

Considering what the BBC has said today about their broadcast of Bob Vylan from Glastonbury, I can only assume that in future if any musical artist makes a political statement the broadcast will immediately be cut.
And that, chums, is simple authoritarian censorship.

Πέμπτη (3/7), δεύτερη μέρα ανοίγματος του χώρου, ήμασταν και πάλι εκεί. Αυτή τη φορά το μαγαζάκι άδειο, με τρείς ΔΑΠίτες που δεν έμειναν και πολύ. Φωνάζοντας συνθήματα προσεγγίσαμε τον χώρο και ανοίξαμε το πανό μας μπροστά στην είσοδο. Αυτό δεν άρεσε πολύ στους κυλικιάρχες, που μας έβγαζαν βίντεο, έπαιρναν συνεχώς τηλέφωνα και μας επιτέθηκαν επανειλλημένα. Πολλές φορές προσπάθησαν να αρπάξουν το πανό, και η Γεωργία Τύρου, ούσα εκπαιδευμένη άλλωστε στις επιθέσεις, με το μένος της μία φορά σχεδόν τα κατάφερε, ενώ χρειάστηκε η επέμβαση του θυρωρού για να ηρεμήσει και να εμποδίσει τα χειρότερα... Παρόλα αυτά αργότερα ο συνέταιρός της δεν δίστασε να ρίξει χλέπες στον συγκεντρωμένο κόσμο.
...φάνηκε ξεκάθαρα ότι στρατηγική τους ήταν να προβοκάρουν για να προκαλέσουν ένταση ώστε να μπορούν να εδραιώσουν την παρουσία τους μέσω της θυματοποίησής τους και προκαλώντας την λύπηση προς το πρόσωπό τους διασπείροντας ψεύδη. Ξέροντας τον τρόπο που λειτουργούν και πώς στήνουν ψευδείς δικογραφίες τραβήξαμε και δικά μας βίντεο, στα οποία φαίνεται ότι τα αφεντικἁ-φίλοι-των-πρυτάνεων ξαναεπιτέθηκαν σε φοιτητά και σε αγωνιζόμενο κόσμο μέσα σε πανεπιστήμιο.
Αναδημοσιευση από βίντεο και κείμενο που μας στάλθηκε: "Αυτή τη τριπλέτα διαπλεκόμενων συμφερόντων (Κράτος- Αφεντικά- Κομματικοί στρατοί/φιλήσυχοι πολίτες) μ...
The genocide in Gaza "coincides with a ban on international media and a calculated extermination campaign to assassinate the limited number of people left to document and expose Israel’s atrocities" "In Gaza and the West Bank, Israeli soldiers consistently threaten journalists and their families" “As Palestinian journalists, we can’t separate ourselves from Gaza or the struggles that we lived"
..and Poppy Bush said he would never apologize for it.
But when MH17 was shot down, they immediately blamed Russia and applied 'sanctions'. ( it was directed to fly over the war zone at one of the lowest flight levels, and was hit over Ukrainian territory, but somehow it was Russia's fault )
Acabo de ver la imagen más horrible del genocidio en GAZA. Y llevo casi dos años viendo imágenes horribles desde Gaza El cuerpecito carbonizado de un bebé acurrucado entre los bracitos de otro niño también asesinado por #IsraelTerroristState Y luego quieren que una frase como DEATH TO THE IDF me haga sentir mal. Y quieren que me importe una mierda que se inventen antisemitismo donde no lo hay. Y que no me cague en todos los muertos de los Sionistas monstruosos. PUTO USRAEL Y LOS DEMONIOS QUE LES APOYAN. #GazaGenocide

Several people I respect recently made similar observations to the effect that there is the security community, and then there's the security industry, which are frequently two VERY different things with somewhat misaligned goals and incentives. Seems like there's a lot of truth to explore there.
From my various provocations on LinkedIn the past six months, it's become clear the latter is largely content to sit quietly or even cheer as this administration makes a public mockery of everything their industry claims to stand for. I suspect this may have something to do with tons of security firms suddenly recasting themselves as AI-focused companies.
Am I way off base or too idealistic or simplistic here, or just jaded? I've been trying to identify the real source of my malaise over attending security industry events over the past few months, and I think this dynamic is a big part of it.
I don't know about you (and others), but in my experience nowadays, when someone says they're in Security/in the Security Industry, they really mean they're in Compliance, which...I think explains the state of the industry, in more ways than one.
The guts of infosec and "security" have effectively diverged, I think.
Personally, I lay this at the feet of the "business" parasites who co-opted otherwise honest business ventures and relationships in search of capital.
"Jamie Raskin's Preamble to the Big Ugly Bill and Trump didn't like it”, DailyKos
“Mr. Speaker, I found a Preamble to this Big Ugly Bill. We the billionaires, and our King, in order to deform and sicken our Union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our peoples defenses, undermine our general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and our posterity staggering debt servitude for eternity, do herby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase copays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by 4 trillion dollars, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America. Please include this Preamble in the legislative record. I yield back.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland took the Big Ugly Bill to task Wednesday night. He was angry about the bill, so he "found" a preamble to it that he read aloud on the House floor. It went like this: Clip on Bryan Tyler Cohen's Instagram of Raskin's...
Byung-Chul Han, a star of German philosophy, continues his passionate critique of neoliberalism, trenchantly describing a regime of technological domination that, in contrast to Foucault’s biopower, has discovered the productive force of the psyche.
The House Democratic campaign arm (DCCC) has promised to let every voter in battleground states know what Republicans did to them with the reconciliation bill.
I swear the world would be a better place if there was a limit on how big a state could could be. And by state I mean what is commonly referred to as a country.
Texas is huge in the context of the United States. It's monstrous compared to some countries in Europe, but on the same scale as France and Germany. But it's only a fraction of countries like China, India and Russia.
The influence of the US and these other countries is proportional to the resources they control.
be it human bodies, ability to grow food or valuable shit under the ground, it's all about resources and the power gained by granting or denying access to them on the global market.
If countries were all small, there would be fewer centers of power and more collaboration. We'd still need something LIKE the UN to stop East Bumblefuck from invading West Bumblefuck, but there would be more coalitions because each political unit would have less power.
READ: Israel is constructing tunnels that Palestinians will be required to pass through in the heart of the West Bank, making large parts of the occupied territory accessible only to Israelis. The aim is to remove the Palestinian presence around Jerusalem.
