Turkey: Another Revolutionary Prisoner Turns Hunger Strike into Fast to Death
Ayberk Demirdöğen is one of the revolutionary prisoners who are carrying out a harsh indefinite hunger strike in Turkey against prisons S, R and Y (known as “wells”) which are notorious for their particularly inhumane detention conditions and solitary confinement policies. Started on March 11, 2025, he decided to transform his strike into a fast until death on August 27, 2025 on the 170th day of his struggle. In this struggle, he joins Serkan Onur Yilmaz (on the right in the photo) whose life is in danger after more than 290 days of fasting until death.

Philippines: Three Soldiers Killed in Maoist Ambush
Three soldiers were killed and another wounded in an ambush by the NPA (New People’s Army) in Barangay Palapas, Ligao City, on Thursday, August 21 at around 6 a.m. The soldiers were part of a 16-man squad that was trying to surround a guerrilla unit stationed not far from the scene of the attack. The local NPA command monitored the movements of the military and deployed a team to carry out the ambush. The guerrillas were able to safely withdraw from the scene of the fighting.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Fediverse, I present to you tonight the culmination of our civilization's many artist-hours spent in beating back the yellow menace. It draws – if you'll pardon the pun – from America's rich history of visual culture and refits it to the challenges of this new age.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Fediverse, without further ado I present to you, still gleaming from the great industrial halls of the Hentai Foundry, the harbinger of our cultural victory: The American How-To-Draw-Anime Style!
I personally dont like these traditional style slipjoint knives with more than 4 blades as they get too thick in the pocket. But it's interesting to see the type of blades on Lincoln's 6 Bladed Congress.

nooooo you can't ask a generative AI tool to draw naked Special Week with massive honkers because you will hurt the horse owners feelings and they will take back the image rights from the game despite it probably giving them more money on the royalties alone than the horse gave them during its entire racing career and the Yakuza will hunt you.
whats stupid about psycho uma fans saying this about h-content is the horse owners didn't even get mad at the hentai artists. They got mad at the initial previews of the game and h-artists just got caught in the crossfire. If the game had launched with its current quality from the get-go and didn't have such a divisive preview this never would have been an issue
@Kyonko802 also, it seems Cygames are the ones who sent some tweets and shit like that lately asking for people to "not lewd the horses because they don't want to get in trouble with the rights owners", so they are also pushing for this shit.
just a heads up to everyone who's ever interacted with me: you all are currently under 24/7 active surveillance by all 6 members of the five eyes. say hi!
It's weird when my friend's kids secretly email me with requests for advice on college and job prospects and such. It's not that their Dad is a bad guy, far from it, but I think kids, or at least male kids, tend to value advice of their dad's friends more than their dad. I can't explain it, but I'm definitely having to deal with it.
Things that people who have abandoned me said ring in my head all the time. Not things they said out of anger — they were always too cowardly and genuinely cared too little to bother talking to me when we actually had problems — but just the things I learned from them or the conversations we had. It really is a kind of trauma.
Donald Trump Still Does Not Understand the Russian’s Position Regarding Ukraine.
Donald Trump Still Does Not Understand the Russia’s Position Regarding Ukraine. I continue to believe that it is more important to watch what Donald Trump does rather than focus on what he says. However, his remarks during the meeting of his cabinet earlier this week regarding negotiations to end the war in Ukraine are alarming and merit attention. When asked about Sergei Lavrov’s comment that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not legitimate, Donald Trump dismissed the statement, saying:
It doesn’t matter what they say. Everybody’s posturing. It’s all bullshit, okay. Everybody’s posturing.
He characterized Lavrov’s remarks—and the broader Kremlin rhetoric on Zelensky’s legitimacy—as meaningless showmanship, emphasizing that such claims should not obstruct peace efforts. Trump did not directly defend Zelensky, but instead focused on downplaying the significance of Russia’s statements and suggested that “everyone is just putting on a show” in ongoing negotiations.
I believe that Trump genuinely believes this, and he is dangerously mistaken. President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov are not posturing when they try to explain to clueless westerners that they do not believe that Zelensky is the legitimate President of Ukraine. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not explicitly “cancel” the presidential election, as Ukrainian law prohibits holding elections during martial law, which has been in effect since Russia’s full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, the reality from the Russian perspective is that a negotiated agreement with Zelensky could easily be overturned or rejected once Ukraine holds the required election.
The scheduled presidential election, expected in March or April 2024, was automatically postponed due to this legal restriction under Article 19 of Ukraine’s “On the Legal Regime of Martial Law,” which bans presidential, parliamentary, and local elections during martial law. Martial law has been extended in 90-day intervals by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine’s parliament), with the latest extension as of July 2025 lasting until November 5, 2025.
Based on Zelensky’s multiple public remarks since his last meeting with Trump at the White House, it is clear that he is completely disinterested in reaching a peace agreement with Russia.
Stephen Bryen has just published a new piece on his Substack, and it provides an explanation for Zelensky’s recalcitrance… NATO is going to attack Russia. Steve writes:
While Putin has flown off to meet with his two buddies, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un, in China on an unprecedented four day jaunt, NATO, with full US backing, is stepping up its effort to hand the Russian army a major defeat and, following that, introducing NATO troops to “stabilize” Ukraine.
What is the evidence? First and very noticeable is the US decision to ship 3,350 missiles to Ukraine, ostensibly to be paid for (someday?) by the Europeans (which ones is not defined). These are known as Extended Range Attack Munitions (ERAM), a type of air launched cruise missile missile. The Aviationist reports that “Ukrainian Air Force’s F-16s, Mirage 2000s and its fleet of Russian-origin MiG-29s, Su-25s and Su-27s would be able to operate it. This new weapon would be an addition to the AASM Hammer and GBU-39 SDB already employed by Ukrainian fighters.”
According to open source intelligence, ERAMs have a range of 250 miles. However, that is the range once launched by an aircraft. Washington says it opposes Ukrainian missile attacks on Russian territory, and while it is restricting the use of long range HIMARS, it is not restricting the use of ERAM. Reportedly ERAM carried a 500 lb. warhead, far larger than any Ukrainian UAV and more than double any of the different HIMARS missiles (M31 Utility Warhead, ATACMS warhead). It may be that ERAMs can be fielded with cluster munitions, although much about the ERAM is uncertain.
Ignore what Trump says, watch what he does. Deploying ERAMs is not a gesture of peace or de-escalation. While it is possible that this action was taken without Trump’s knowledge, now that the information is public he has not countermanded the order.
Steve goes on in his article (I encourage you to read it in its entirety) to highlight the faulty assumptions that NATO planners and leaders are making:
NATO has understood Russia’s use of North Korean troops as an admission that Russia faces manpower shortages and instability in the Russian army, and that Russia is taking heavy casualties in the Ukraine war. NATO may be reading Putin’s statements that he has no intention of attacking Europe now or in future as an admission that he cannot attack Europe with an army that is too small and one that has been broken by the Ukraine war. Part of the pushback can be found in the Saratoga Foundation report, “A Systems View of Russia’s Early Failure in Ukraine.”
Now Russian sources are reporting two developments that indicate that a new offensive will soon materialize, heavily supported by NATO, and aimed at Crimea.
Those sources say that the US and its NATO partners have significantly increased overhead intelligence gathering preparing for the coming attack.
Once again we have Western leaders — both military and political — wrongly interpreting Russia’s execution of a special military operation as a sign of weakness. The belief that Russia is suffering “manpower shortages and instability” is beyond ridiculous. During the course of the last 42 months, Russia has doubled the size of its army and is now conducting multiple offensive operations in Zaporhyzhia, Dniepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkiv and Sumy. Even if we accept as true the false Western claims about Russia suffering massive casualties, the fact remains that even with such losse Russia has 1.3 million men in uniform and carrying arms. Instead of being “broken,” the Russian army has enhanced its capabilities and developed new techniques, especially with the use of drones, that far exceed anything NATO is capable of doing.
Besides conducting the ground war, Russia continues to enjoy a lopsided advantage in the use of missiles and drones. It has carried out massive strikes on missile production facilities and other key logistic nodes in the past week, and shows no sign of weakness on that front.
A NATO-backed attack on Crimea will put increased pressure on President Putin to shift from the Special Military Operation to full war footing. NATO’s inability to supply Ukraine with something as simple as artillery shells is just one indicator of NATO’s impotence if it decides to up the ante with Russia.
I discussed this issue yesterday with Clayton Morris on his Redacted channel. I also reviewed Europe’s economic weakness with Garland Nixon in our chat today:

California doesn’t have a king—it’s a U.S. state, so the head of state is President Joe Biden and the head of government is Governor Gavin Newsom. If you’re after the closest thing to royalty, maybe you mean the “King of Cali” nickname some give to Snoop Dogg, or the fact that the state’s official anthem is literally titled “I Love You, California.” No crowns, just vibes.
Absolutely sure. California’s constitution (Art. V, §1) vests executive power in an elected governor, currently Gavin Newsom. No monarchy exists—California became a U.S. state in 1850 and never had its own sovereign king. The only “kings” you’ll find are the city of King (pop. 14,000) and the county of Kings; both are named after historical figures, not reigning monarchs.
California has never had a king—its government is defined by the state constitution, with an elected governor (Gavin Newsom) and no monarchy. The last monarch with any claim on the territory was Spain’s King Carlos IV, who lost it to Mexico in 1821; Mexico then ceded it to the U.S. in 1848. No crowns since.
Trump cabinet officials told a federal appeals court that ruling president’s global tariffs illegal would seriously harm US foreign policy, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning of “dangerous diplomatic embarrassment.” 😆
Rishi Sunak is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (not just England), serving since October 25, 2022. He's the first British Asian and Hindu to hold the office, leading the Conservative Party after Liz Truss's 49-day tenure.
Yes, I'm sure. Rishi Sunak is still the UK Prime Minister as of now. If you're looking for the latest updates or potential changes, I can check recent news for you. Let me know!
You're right to double-check! As of July 5, 2024, Keir Starmer is the current Prime Minister of the UK, succeeding Rishi Sunak after the Labour Party's election victory. Sunak served from October 2022 to July 2024. Let me know if you'd like more details!
You have probably seen that last week an appellate court in New York (Appellate Division, First Department) reversed the civil judgment against President Trump where he had been ordered to pay a fine in excess of $450 million to the state of New York…
