"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."

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.

@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.

May both parties go to hell.

@SheWasSpeaking

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.

Anyway, why do I bother? I live in Montreal.

USA sanctions Francesca Albanese for working with the International Criminal Court, and for being early at calling the Gaza Genocide a genocide.

This regime is a global menace, to the freedoms of each of us. Where will this end?

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.

At SFO waiting at the baggage claim for my checked backpack. Hopefully TSA or other TLAs aren't leaving anything "interesting" behind?

Thank you to @recon@infosec.exchange for a fantastic 20 year anniversary!

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!

The poster is a criticism/denunciation of Leonid Radvinsky, owner of OnlyFans, for his donations to AIPAC during the Gaza's genocide.

At the top left is AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) logo with a stylised American flag. Below AIPAC logo: a red frame with "Boycott OnlyFans!" in white. And the OF logo.

I've spent not-insignificant amount of time at protests in the US, looking for signs of IMSI catchers and never found anything, so when I saw this, my ears perked up:

TL:DR brief life update

Admittedly, I was only planning to attend Anime Expo for one day; and bought the 4 day pass, mostly because they claimed they had sold out of the Friday passes.

Artificial scarcity? Upsell?

I have no idea. It wasn't insanely expensive regardless, and I think I last took my daughter to that event circa 2000; so it's not as if I have been keeping that flame alive with my limited investments.

The badge was RFID based and they had limited places to "badge in"/"badge out" and so there were a distressing number of apparent exits, only to be turned away by volunteer staff saying that such a thing wasn't an exit. ;( Also, as crowded as the Los Angeles Convention Center was, the air conditioning did not seem to be doing a very good job! I was sweating and many others had fans (both manually operated and battery powered) to try to cool themselves off, even indoors!

There was a Big West/マクロス「Macross」exhibit, which seemed to be under appreciated, but it was cool to at least see? I guess later in the evening they were going to be doing some screenings, but not of new material and given their flyer claimed that most of their series are now streaming on Hulu, I decided there wasn't much for me to stick around for as a result. Making a "bee line" for the exit, was an impossibility, and navigating my way back to my car (thankfully I found free parking only a few blocks away) took the better part of 45 minutes. There weren't many places to sit either, though there were a lot of "NO SITTING" signs, and people sitting on the floor anyway despite the signage; I thought about taking pictures of the irony, but I really didn't take many pictures at all.

On Saturday I woke up early and soaked in some hot springs, which my right leg badly needed since I think I banged it on something Thursday night and then was walking on it most of Friday. It's now Wednesday and only today is it not painful to walk on; despite having tried to be mindful of keeping off of it as much as possible.

Later Saturday after a vegan brunch as Shine Cafe in Morro Bay, I stopped by the Vreamery (a vegan "cheese" shop in Paso Robles) on the drive back to NorCal to get some things for later. I also stopped at Cultiva in San Juan Bautista as they were selling their "Cali Dawg" vegan hot "dogs" in celebration of July 4th (though yes, Saturday was July 5th). There were more people there than I had ever seen! There was even a line before I ordered! Hopefully that bodes well for them, given that they reduced their hours to only being open two days a week in recent months?

Much later on Saturday, after extensive driving all the way up to Fairfax (stopped to get some fresh fruit groceries at Good Earth, my credit union to replenish some dwindling cash reserves, and stopped in for a quick refreshing beverage at Wu Wei Tea Temple where apparently I wasn't quick enough to greet a lovely friend who vanished between the time I walked to the back and returned to the front to hopefully say hello, whoops!) in the early evening, I attended a live performance that @unwoman@mastodon.social put on at Little Hill Lounge in El Cerrito. I probably should have stuck around to have seen Halou (Unwoman was also playing organ during that set) but I was knackered, having set my alarm for around 6am and having driven over 300 miles earlier in the day.

Also, Halou is apparently performing again on August 14th at The Knockout (3233 Mission Street, San Francisco: 8pm doors 9pm show with Waves Crashing and Soft Science as openers); so I figured I maybe didn't need to stick around for the rest of the set with another opportunity to see them live relatively locally so soon?

I had never been to the Little Hill Lounge before, but it was a cozy intimate venue! Totally my thing as contrasted with the way too big stadium show of Wu-Tang Clan and RTJ recently. Or Anime Expo (I have no idea how many people attended, but the Los Angeles Convention Center is enormous and cute cosplayers as eyecandy notwithstanding, it was way too much for me, even during my brief four-ish hour exploration).

Ironically, the SPJA (Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation) began closer to El Cerrito (it was an outgrowth of Cal Animage Alpha at UC Berkeley). So in a weird way, it was kind of like returning to source (geographically speaking) for an AX weekend. Anime Expo, began as Anime Con in 1991, in San Jose; before being renamed to Anime Expo after SPJA had a falling out with Gainax over having lost what was, presumably a LOT of money due to overselling Japanese animation fandom in the USA or some related misunderstanding? No doubt, fandom has caught up to what the SPJA seemed to foreshadow, but it definitely was a much smaller event when I attended in 1991. AX remained in San Jose in 1992 and then bounced up to Oakland for 1993, before relocating to Southern California in 1994 where it seems to have remained stuck, ever since.

I looked into some job application stuff. Distressingly, every opening of this company, though relatively local has "Engineer" in the title and I do not have a degree in an engineering discipline. Their pay structure seems unusually egalitarian. Even more distressingly: their documentation system (they have something called "RFDs" in homage to RFCs more or less) has broken GitHub links; so while I would submit Pull Requests to update e.g. RFD 1's incorrect "requirement" to use Homebrew to install GNU sed on OS X (it's macOS now) to oh, y'know utilize gsed from MacPorts; I don't even know how I would begin to submit such a Pull Request.

It's one of those nit pick sorts of things that to me, seems indicative of the kind of hair pulling minutia which is probably representative of much bigger underlying issues that would no doubt reveal themselves if I were to make it to the point of a job application, let alone interview and being hired. Documentation: particularly if already having used some version control system, being treated as a second class citizen to code? Not a good sign.

Not only that, it is a militaristic dictatorship of infinite hierarchy of 100% armed obedient soldiers. No kids, no elderly in this VarouFuckICE communism.

VarouFuckICE is living inside an academic economic bubble of his own. In this mindset someone can say that the US military health system is the closest to the model of fully socialized medicine, the absolute socialist health care. There is never a charge for anything, all are employees working shifts, making no more or less based on quantity served, they can never refuse service, and all (personnel and dependents) are covered for life.

VarouFuckICE was so delusional as to think that the bankrupt state of Greece can negotiate with bond-holding banksters with the alternative to total submission being that his bankrupt state can reissue a total new currency from 0, after globally been projected as a bankrupt debt denier, and expect 11 million people to survive on local energy and food production. This is not economics, this is superstition and magic. If you asked me, yes I would have rather tried this suicidal no-plan, rather than submit endlessly to be a waiter on the land handed to US/UK/EU banksters.

Heroic but his survival was never threatened, he just played dice with his voters lives. He lost the silly bet, he gained a political career and fame, not bad. But lets us not get too carried away with the nonsense of a mass media persona.

He was part of a "left" the US/EU/IMF/WB and banking world needed to legitimize grand-theft of a country of 1/2 trillion in debt the same had pocketed after they had lent it. To make the whole scheme go down in history as legitimate, they needed some clowns to represent the Greek left, and they got what they needed.

Over 100 years people lost their lives fighting, struggling, being tortured, sent to prisons and exile, so a handful of clowns can climb to power for 2-3 years and underwrite the largest commitment of suicide for residents of Greece. Land, water, infrastructure, education, industry, hopes, dreams, ... all handed to bankers on a silver platter by this "left".

Fuck them till they are dead then fuck them some more! This was the largest disgrace of the people of the left for over a century.
