Al-Qassam Brigades has published an image of an IDF soldier being dragged with a caption stating "We remind those who forget: Death or captivity" in Arabic and Hebrew.
PS. Palestinian resistance fighters tried to capture IDF soldiers twicewlast night and once tonight. IDF activated the Hannibal Directive to prevent their soldies to be taken late last night. But they still claim 4 soldiers"missing" from the ambushes
@prolrage @rzeta0 This is why they confiscated all the mobile phones of the people who recorded the events.
I remember seeing a video of IDF soldiers hiding behind people at the festival and between the cars full of people. But the videos were all delete on YouTube and Twitter
@rzeta0 Yes, reports from last night was shared by both Israeli and Arab telegram channels when Israeli helicopters bombed the location of the ambushed soldiers.

OK, I'm convinced, the bubble is close to popping.
It might not actually do so, there could be just enough taking the foot off the AI pedal to keep the hype cycle going a while longer. What I'm convinced of is that the bubble is currently critical — and that that has execs scared shitless.
Here’s a CIO Magazine headline: “31% of employees are ‘sabotaging’ your gen AI strategy”! [CIO] This claim comes from a Writer AI survey. Writer surveyed 800 C-level executives and 800 employees in…
Note that the above is not a prediction! It's me being convinced of what I now believe is currently true, not any statement about what I expect will happen as a result of that being true.
My actual prediction is that **if** the bubble is truly at critical, we are in for some fun times, as different execs, investors, and companies each try to save themselves with wildly different and contradictory approaches. That whatever happens next will be unhinged.

Do not just fawn at the riot pawn. Study the footage. Learn more about the movement that how built up over years of hard work and resistance. Practice the lessons in your locality.
Solidarity with those who fight. Solidarity with you.
1. Do not assist their media strategy. Neo-Nazis have a simple strategy when it comes to media: If they can't get an opportunity to appear in the media, they create one. They perform public stunts to create opportunities. They confect outrage (singing “Waltzing Matilda” in Adelaide on Australia Day, pretending to be “regular blokes” getting kicked out of the Shrine of Remembrance etc). They revel in and celebrate the attention they receive whether it is positive or negative. They do this because reporting on their actions almost always leads to more support for them. That's why you're here and that's why this guide exists. The attention is all they are after. That doesn't mean “Don't report on them.” It means “Don't do their dirty work for them.” The rest of this guide will show you how to best do that.
"Neo-nazis and politicians among protesters at anti-immigration March for Australia rallies [...] The marches were promoted by neo-Nazis, as well as anti-lockdown figures who gained prominence during the pandemic [...].
A counter-protest also assembled in front of the State Library of Victoria, with the weekly pro-Palestine rally merging with an antifascist counter-demonstration to protest against the March for Australia.
Victoria police blocked off Flinders and Swanston streets to the north of the intersection, in an apparent attempt to keep two rallies apart, but they eventually met at the corner of Collins and Elizabeth streets with a barrier of police between them, three rows deep, including officers on horseback.
A volatile verbal confrontation ensued, with a bottle thrown from the anti-immigration protest smashing at the feet of the antifascist demonstrators, and an open can of beer flying over the police line towards the anti-immigration march.
The antifascist demonstrators were then pushed back by police in riot gear, who pepper-sprayed approximately a dozen protesters at the front of the crowd." theguardian.com/australia-news…
Several thousand flagwits in MEL today, & budding fuehrer Thomas Sewell fulfilled his dream of addressing the masses outside the VIC parliament.
As an added Bonus!, later in the day a group of flagwits & nazis attacked Camp Sovereignty in the Kings Domain, with a number of people reportedly injured and the camp wrecked.
Uncle Robbie Thorpe and Indigenous advocates want the area, known as Kings Domain Resting Place, to be recognised as a ceremonial space and to be made more accessible.
'Camp Sovereignty was first established on 12 March 2006 to bring international attention to the unresolved issues of the "Black GST" - genocide to end, sovereignty to be acknowledged and treaty to be negotiat[ed], whilst protesting against the Commonwealth Games, referred to as the "Stolenwealth Games". A camp was established and a ceremonial fire was lit at the so-called 'Kings Domain' Resting Place. The site is a burial site for bones from the 38 original nations of so called 'Victoria' that were repatriated from the Melbourne Museum.
Bunjileenee Robbie Thorpe reestablished the camp on Invasion Day Friday 26 January 2024. The camp is working toward a name change, the site to be handed back to the original custodians and a cultural interpretation centre to be established. It's a place for gathering, healing, community organising and having rich conversations.'

It's easy, you just write a C program that generates the awk to do the filtering, and the tedious parts of the C program you can generate by piping the man page through awk. If you wanna make it self-contained, then you just embed the C source in the awk source as a giant base64'd string and make the awk source spit out that string if you pass 'f=csrc' to it. Easy.
Sometimes getting something to work involves ugly hacks. I'm not proud of some of the dark arts I had to perform in CSS to get the frontend looking good in a hackathon once.
@ent I think it was convoluted to create but not really ugly, like it's basically an executable table lookup: any big table is going to be kinda ugly visually but if you wanna look up a table, you need to have a table somewhere. The bit where the C code generates the awk code and the awk code can print out the C code, that was the reason I posted it, it was kinda funny. I thought "Shit, I'm gonna lose track of the code I generated this thing with, I should make the awk script self-contained." and realized it had become a loop. tread_ouroboros.png
@ent Oh, yeah, big base64 chunks are definitely ugly, but I get a perverse chuckle out of doing it like that instead of attaching a file; used to be really common on mailing lists because they reject attachments. And, you know, Phrack does shit like embedding uuencode'd stuff; when I was reading Phrack on the Plan 9 box, I had to write a uudecode script and I decided to just write it in awk instead of porting the C program:
One man dropped weight on feet then continued lifting with blood visible through socks and was told they do not need all ten toes and finished set before going to hospital then ended up missing a toe

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan holds an emergency hearing as the Trump admin is reportedly trying—imminently—to deport hundreds of Guatemalan children without required process or access to representation. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
Judge Sooknanan: Are you aware that I have issued an order on the docket about the putative class? DOJ / Drew Ensign: I have not, your honor Judge Sooknanan: I want you take 5 minutes now to look at that order and circulate that through the govt/DHS (Hearing pauses)
DOJ: I have transmitted your order both to TK and to DHS, and I don't believe there will be an issue. Judge: Have any flights departed? DOJ: My understanding is that all flights are on the ground. Judge: Is it possible that any flights department? DOJ: It's possible one took off and returned
Plaintiffs: Our understanding is that the planes are on the ground in Texas, but the children are still on the planes. Judge Sooknanan: Mr. Ensign, do you understand why? DOJ: I do not, maybe contingent on this hearing
Judge Sooknanan: Mr. Ensign, tell me your position on what the govt is here, given the legal protections? DOJ: These are not "removals" under the statutes. These are "repatriations" under 6 USC 279 (b)(1)(H). The US is facilitating requests from Guatemalan parents to return their children.
Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told
Judge: And from plaintiffs' situation, you don't think that's true? Plaintiffs: Your honor, we know that's not true. Named plaintiff isn't in that situation. And even if someone were in this situation, wouldn't negate requirement of appearing before immigration judge.
Judge: Mr. Ensign, are you saying this reunification provision overrides requirements? DOJ: Not overrides, but distinct provision with own process Judge: You think protections are inapplicable? DOJ: Yes, don't prevent children's reunification with parents
Judge: I have declarations contrary to what you're saying today. How do I resolve those? DOJ: Sounds like needs to be resolved through briefing Judge: OK, schedule? DOJ: File brief on Friday Judge: I was thinking earlier, but if that's the time you need ...
Judge: You won't be able to remove any of these children before we finish this briefing DOJ: We understand Judge: Plaintiffs, how long do you need for response? Plaintiffs: If they file on Friday, we can reply Monday
Judge: I don't want there to be any ambiguity in what I'm ordering or what the govt is expected to do. Plaintiffs: Because of multiple misunderstandings that have resulted in irreparable harm, I would like to extend hearing until children have been removed from plane.
Judge: Let's recess and let Mr. Ensign find out the situation with children on planes and whether they plan to deplane and return to custody and if so when, so we can get status reports DOJ: OK, I'll try to find out, and again, the planes will not be leaving
We're back! Judge: All right, Mr. Ensign, do you have an update for me? DOJ: Yes, I've spoken with HHS and confirmed that plan is to deplane the children and return them to ORR custody during TRO Judge: OK. Will you file a status report on the docket to confirm when that's happened? DOJ: Yes
Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.
Judge: My understanding is we have two paths. One is removal, the other is voluntary departure. Protections are recognition of the fact that this population is incredibly vulnerable. And I don't see anything in what you're saying to me that overrides those protections.
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
Judge: I have done all I can to make a decision based on what's in front of me. I will continue to be here and act expeditiously. I am trying to do the best *I* can to fulfill *my* obligations as an Article III judge.
Judge: I will look forward to the govt's status report, hopefully today, that all the children have been removed from the planes and returned to ORR custody. I want to take a moment to thank my courtroom staff, who I called at 2:30 a.m., who have been working on Labor Day wknd, and my law clerks
UPDATE: Judge Sooknanan asks the govt for a status update WITHIN THE HOUR on the status of removing the Guatemalan children from planes, after previously asking for an update without a specified time
Trump resurfacing alive on his golf course doesn’t mean that he isn’t in extremely bad health. Trump is downright obese compared to Biden who was slim. Trump’s weight coupled with the stresses that come with his position have likely taken a serious toll on his blood pressure. My guess is that some kind of cardiopulmonary episode and they had him under observation for a few days. Heart attacks don’t always take someone out in one shot. There are often instances where someone can have a series of small heart attacks which occur in increasing frequency until the heart of the patient in question simply sustains too much damage.

I see why this theory is compelling, but I think think it will work out this way. Trump is in a tricky corner, if he invades Iran then the next presidential election goes to whoever is against him - and the Left has made it very clear that if he ever strays too far from the Whitehouse, he's going to prison. So his approval rating is a Sword of Damocles.
New York and California may hate him, but they don't have the muscle and belligerence to start an actual civil war. The people who COULD start a civil war mostly don't mind him, and if he pisses them off then he ends up in the unfortunate situation of having pissed off *everyone*, so the "civil war" is "America vs. Trump".
It's hard to read, but I think American Civil War died when the elites decided to get behind Trump. During Biden the US was a powderkeg, and if they had blatantly rigged the election for Kamala then things could have gone kinetic in a real hurry. I think what saved America was Oct7, because it became clear that if America descends into civil war, Iran will wipe out Israel, so everyone with Israeli connections agreed that stabilizing the US is priority number one.
Israel does have superior technology, but Iran has 90 million people who are excited at the prospect of fighting. Israelis have been shown to be western people who are not interested in dying over some geopolitical spat, so if it ever comes to a ground war, Israel is in serious trouble.
I think under Biden things got close. Recall the Texas boarder crisis when Texas national guard began defending the border and throwing the federal government out, and sent a nasty letter to Washington and a half dozen other states signed it.
If that had escalated further, it's possible that we could have had secession - which the fedgov might have refused to accept, leading to a second civil war.
But the fedgov seems to have been very strategic about it, calming things down and then later allowing Trump to be president which seriously defused most of the issues.
Agree with your point, Democrats are not going to do anything.
Silicon Valley is funny because while it's ostensibly deep blue, the power players are connected to Thiel, Musk, Andreassen, etc, who are in turn connected to Trump. So in many ways Trump has proven the best antidote to potential civil war...
That's always been the belief in Washington, but I think it is hubris. The same people thought Russia would be bankrupt within 6 months, so I don't give them too much credit.
I wouldn't call it over yet. It's always easier to fight Iran in Lebanon and the Israeli border compared to fighting them in their own mountains, because then they need logistical support. I think right now, this war will be left on the back burner until Russia needs to distract the US from Ukraine, then they will re-supply Iran and encourage them to launch another rocket attack...
The problem is there is no "California" to secede, without going through the Silicon Valley power players, who will most likely veto it.
Also the US government has a terrifying array of "dirty tricks" they can use to harm people: From releasing diseases, to wild fires, to sending special forces to pose as rioters and burn cities, their arsenal is as frightening as their willingness to use it.
The reason why they're hemmed in when it comes to e.g. Texas is because those special forces are at risk of mutiny if they try to use them against Christians / Conservatives.
I'm not going to pontificate on how long Russia can last and how much reserves they have, because so many people have been so wrong on this before.
For what it's worth, the Russian propaganda was also completely wrong. But still it seems that one of their tricks is convincing others to underestimate them, so I refuse to assume that there's any knowable date when they will run out of resources...
The EU is in a terrible situation for a couple of reasons:
1. A decade ago they imported millions of immigrants from Africa and the Middle east - a lot of these people are violent and lawless as one would expect, and now there are mass protests because they occasionally rape white women. This has made European governments extraordinarily unpopular to the point that multiple EU governments are close to outright civil war - or at least close enough that forced conscription is completely off the table, so sending manpower to Ukraine is essentially impossible.
2. Europe is largely Leftist, and Islam/Iran have been quite active in courting the Left, and Israel has been relatively open about the genocide of the Palestinians which upsets the Left. And the aforementioned millions of immigrants from Africa and the Middle east are extremely anti-Israel, so European governments feel boxed in to not be seen supporting Israel in any meaningful way.
So basically I wouldn't rely on Europe to do much of anything, they're boxed in.
At risk of tautologizing tautologies, Europe is like Europe, Canada is like Canada, and California is like California.
But a concrete example of this is Islam and antisemitism, fairly widespread in Europe but rare in California.
California is a land of paradoxes. The ostensibly blue state that gave us Nixon and Regan. It's blue now because of a gerontocracy and their Mexican servants, but gerontocracy is conservative (even reactionary), they will never accept anything as crazy as secession.
Like I said before, there's a fairly high chance that California flips red again in the coming years.
I'm glad my analysis skills aren't completely off 😀 California is such a complex region, honestly I feel more confident talking about the middle east lol.
The left in Europe likes Ukraine just enough to put a flag in their profile, but that's it. What they really care about is financial aid because they all depend on the state for their income.
The right likes military, and would be prepared to impose compulsory service FOR THE RIGHT LEADER. But they have no interest in the EU, they would rather their nations be independent and they have no interests beyond their own national borders.
The people who ACTUALLY care about Ukraine are the European leaders, or Court Eunuchs. They're neither right nor left, they're liked by no one, but they win because (for now) they're hated less than the sides hate each other. Their support for Ukraine is based on the fact that they're terrified of civil war and their nightmare is that Ukraine collapses and dumps tens of thousands of battle-hardened ASOP Nazis into Europe. These people have been betrayed by the centrists and so they will side with the extreme right and overthrow the European governments leading to the collapse of the EU.
Basically Europe can't do anything because they're in a stalemate.
Californian leftism is just completely different from European leftism. Another example is that California is female-dominated (because it's American) and Europe is male-dominated.
My point is it's just way too dangerous to make these types of generalizations.
> You're underestimating young people, and I said "if".
But those are not the Democrat voters. The Democrat voters are elderly people and their Mexican servants. And the Mexicans are on the fence, which is why I can easily see California flipping red in the next election.

In light of the Plaintiffs' 2 A Motion for TRO and the Plaintiffs' 6 A Motion to Certify Class, the Court further ORDERS that the Defendants shall not transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States for 14 days absent further Order of the Court. The Court ORDERS that the Defendants cease any ongoing efforts to transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States. The putative class includes all Guatemalan unaccompanied minors in Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement custody as of 1:02 AM on August 31, 2025, the time of the filing of the Complaint, who are not subject to an executable final order of removal.
