What it doesn't say is that the MD Grand Lodge of Freemason's HQ, established in 1787, is in Cockeysville. None of this is proof, but connections are interesting, and I'm having a hard time believing it's a conspiracy theory.
I don't know what you're theorizing, but the obelisk in St. Peter's is WAY older than the freemasons (I think it's significantly older than the church too).
@jforseth210 That's fine. I'm talking about the conspiracy theories of certain groups. Illuminati, Freemasons, Jesuits, Skull and Bones. Stuff like that.
Certain symbols are used pretty much universally throughout the halls of power, e.g. the fasces, the eagle, and the laurel leaves.
It has been suggested that the ruling elites in every modern country consider themselves citizens of Rome, and they are governed by laws, courts, etc which are kept completely hidden from the layman. Countries as we know them are in essence "colonies" of this hidden empire.
Western nations pretended to be shining cites on hills, beacons of freedom, but as the genocide against Palestinians has revealed, they are actually giant mounds of horseshit, nothing more than violent arbiters of a global racial caste system.

I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need. These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.
That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 9 months.
If you like this project and want to loan us money, message me on WhatsApp or Telegram for more details.
If our project is suitable for you and you would like to lend money to our holding, send a message to my WhatsApp number or Telegram username below and I will give you detailed information.

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, responds to US calls for her removal from the UN, reaffirming her mandate to speak out against war crimes and genocide.
She discusses "Israel’s" recent attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, denounces violations of international law, and highlights the global community’s failure to hold the Israeli regime accountable.
The propaganda machine is tuned so unless the target is on their payroll they wouldn't mention their name even if it appears as a worst enemy. By directing criticism and making a hero of their opponent they are telling you who to support. Individual opponents with no political commitments are much more manageable than ideas.
So keep expecting from media personas to ever bring change, it will never come. Look for ideas, principles, proposals that are never mentioned by media @foufoutos
so since my account almost went out with a bang I am going to post this throwback from a year ago where I saw two different Sapphires from the My Little Pony fandom and the Uma Musume fandom having an argument.

Today I coded something I've been dreaming about for many months - a solution to the #ActivityPub scaling problem.
The problem is that if 20 people cast 5 votes and those votes are federated to 500 servers, the instance hosting the community needs to do 20 * 5 * 500 = 50,000 network requests.
The solution is to bundle the activity up into chunks. I describe the solution and how #PieFed does it here peertube.wtf/w/v5aWpxjS2P4pJSn… (probably only of interest to developers).

What makes Ronnie O’Sullivan the greatest player in the history of snooker? It isn’t just statistical dominance—it lies in his style, in the difference between thinking and acting.
Very different in style, of course, but similar in a way then to David Foster Wallace's famous essay about Roger Federer, which was also interesting to read without knowing a thing (or caring sbout) tennis?

#Armenia denies Ukrainian claims that #Russia is increasing its military presence in the country to regain influence in the Caucasus amid tensions with #Azerbaijan.
Russia's declining influence in the Caucasus region could highlight its waning geopolitical strength.
The news comes amid a major deterioration in Russian-Azerbaijani relations after a deadly June 27 operation in Russia's Yekaterinburg, where Russian security forces killed two Azerbaijani nationals.
Russia’s attack on Kremenchuk hit a Ukrainian military enlistment office, the third recruitment center this week.
No casualties have been reported so far, but the attack points to a deliberate campaign to disrupt mobilization efforts amidst Ukraine’s lack of military manpower.
On July 6, Russian forces attacked the city of Kremenchuk in the Poltava region. A local military enlistment office building was hit, according to the Ukrainian Ground Forces on Telegram.

There are two very important lessons here. 1) Don't trust #Adobe. For real. Adobe has been pulling shit like this for *years* and yet people still continue to use it or go back. Why? Are you masochists? There *are* alternatives. Both open-source and commercial. **Use them.** 2) It's safe to assume that any new software update will probably include features you're not interested in. Whether it be the #Cloud or #AI or AI in the Cloud. I don't know about you but I *religiously* go through every single setting and configuration page of every new software I install (or update) prior to me using it. It's a great way to learn new things about the software you're about to use.
Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.
THE PROBLEM I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.
I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.
As someone who is forced to use multiple Adobe products at work, I concurr 100%. Adobe are sneaky shitty mcshittersons. And the amount of sneaky shit they sneak into your software is astounding.
The one and so far ONLY thing I have found that any Adobe package still does better than anything else is Acrobat comparing two PDFs.
No idea why my overly religious IT dept. is OK with Adobe crunching our IP in PDF form in their cloud, yet I can't use some foss tool that doesn't leave my PC.
Before I retired from the InfoSec group at the power company I worked at, we were an Adobe shop for decades. We had a lot of critical business processes built-up around Acrobat and other Adobe products. Especially in Supply Chain and Vendor Management.
Then it came down to money. (That and the constant patching.)
Finally the bean counters in IT realized how much money we were throwing away at Adobe and in less than a year we completely switched and re-tooled those business processes to move away.
It wasn't that hard.
Maybe one day your Company's bean counters will see the same light.
Hm, die Georgetown-Website kennt den „Politologen Thomas Greene“ nicht, Wikipedia kennt ihn nicht, das gesamte Internet kennt ihn nicht, nur die Fake News-Schleuder kennt den Mann. Laut US-Verfassung sind aber auch die „Wiederwahlchancen“ von Trump eher gering, dafür braucht es keinen „Berater“. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rp2kl…
OK, so let's ask; @tzimmer_history, we're wondering whether a German rightwing fake news outlet made up (or probably had some chatbot make up) a politicial scientist named Thomas Greene or whether he really exists.
Thanks! To clarify: I knew you're not a political scientist in terms of academic discipline, but I've seen you write detailed commentary on U.S. politics...
Can we talk for a minute about how completely ludicrous a $4T valuation is for a company like NVIDIA or Microsoft? Investors often talk about P/E: the ratio of the share price (P) to the earnings per share (E). Or, if you simplify the equation slightly, the market capitalisation (price per share multiplied by number of shares) divided by the annual profit. This is, roughly, how many years it would take the company to make the amount of money that it is valued at. For NVIDIA and Microsoft, these ratios are, roughly, 50 and 40, respectively.
The simplest model of share ownership is that you get a share of the company’s profits. In practice, that only applies to companies in the ‘cash cow’ phase, where they are no longer growing and are just redistributing all excess income to shareholders. This kind of P/E would be ludicrous for such a company. With a P/E of 50, the company would be returning at most 2% of your investment each year, which is the kind of return you get from bonds at much lower risk. The idea for growing companies is that they’re investing a lot of their profits (and money raised by diluting shares) in growth. Putting money in now lets them become more valuable and that means that you’re happy to not even get the 2% return now because you expect to get a larger return on a larger valuation in the future. If a company has a share price of 100 and, instead of giving you a 2% return, it spends five years investing in growth and turns into a company with a share price of 1,000, then gives you a 1% return, you’ll make as much in the fifth year as you would have in the first five years in total if they had just returned the money, then you’ll make the same again in the sixth.
So far, so good. But let’s think about another ration: price to maximum-possible-earning-in-shiny-pixie-land. Let’s call it Price to Pixie ratio, P/Px. There are 8B people in the world (roughly). A trillion is a thousand billion, so a 4T market cap means that you have a valuation of $500/person. That’s more than the annual disposable income for a large proportion of the population. The median wealth for people is around $8K, a number somewhat skewed by the large number of people with a lot less. These valuations are all assuming a lot of growth, but how many people can actually afford to spend more on NVIDIA or Microsoft products? Of those, how many of those would choose to? These companies are making a lot of money at the moment because of lock in. Microsoft with Win32 and Office / SharePoint, NVIDIA with CUDA. That’s very fragile.
I wouldn’t be surprised if P/Px for these companies is only very slightly lower than P/E: if everyone who could afford their products bought them, it wouldn’t move the needle on their earnings more than 50%. For either company to be at a stable P/E, you’d need everyone in the world to be spending $20/year with them. Or the people in rich countries to be spending in excess of $200/year. Can you think of any company, in any market where that would make sense? At the moment, that spending is heavily skewed to other companies burning VC money for both. For Microsoft, it’s other companies who believe that they make more in increased productivity from using their systems than using something else, but between putting up prices for M365 for features no one wants and firing all of the people who build the things customers actually care about, that doesn’t look like a long-term revenue stream. NVIDIA’s revenue comes primarily from selling to companies that sell to companies that burn VC money and make a loss. Again, not sustainable. Which may mean that Px < E for both companies.
And that’s exactly the situation that leads you to a crash.
Catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country has killed 32 people, including 18 children, with seven victims still unidentified. Rescue crews are searching for 27 missing girls from Camp Mystic. More rain is expected, worsening flood risks. ...
