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."

Negative thoughts, advice wanted

Negative thoughts, advice wanted

"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.

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 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.

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.

Sigh...Are we great yet?

Thanks for that link! I knew it was bad here. I didn't realize it was even worse in so many places. We are only in the top ~40!

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.

"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.

Grumble 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

@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.

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!

It's interesting, I see the ebb and flow of the Epstien bullshit. Why does it matter? It's the end of Maga! But I'm in the it matters camp for this reason, which is, character matters. Integrity matters. With Epstein, we all know how real it was. The people seemingly barring the truth have even spoken about it's existence, and now appear at least to deny it. Integrity matters at the end of the day. Wrongs must be righted. That's maga. Liberty must kept and fought for.Evil crushed. Show it to us!

I wish I could playback the things I observe on a daily basis. So one clip from today is two women and a dude, running past the plant at like 5:30pm, all dressed in their sexy workout clothes. LuLu Lemoned ladies, except, one of the ladies ass cheeks were like positioned about 4 inches lower than normal down the back of her legs. Like...saddle bags, but in the back of the legs. I shook fucking head a little and dashed into the local nightmare traffic which at this point was rather pleasant.
