NEW: An Italian parliament inquiry concluded that the Italian government used Paragon's spyware to hack activists working to rescue immigrants.

The committee, however, said it did not find any evidence that Italy's intelligence agencies (nor anyone else) spied on journalist Francesco Cancellato.

The report leaves a this, and other, key questions unanswered.

Every time I see estimated costs for Trump's birthday parade, and $15m of the budget is allocated for road repairs afterward, I wonder about the gullibility of both the people putting together these estimates and those reporting on it

So, a quick poll

The damaged roads in DC will be repaired:

  • before the end of the year (0%, 0 votes)
  • before the end of Trump's term (0%, 0 votes)
  • lol (100%, 62 votes)
62 voters. Poll end: 2 months ago

They have shitty sleep because their own jowls choke them at night. So much of life is out of bounds to them because they can't move properly. They simply choose to "live" this way.

It is very strange.

I know people who are slowly drinking themselves to death. Bad teeth from sugary alcohol. They're probably on the fast track to alzheimer's. This is preferred over... life? Reality? It's almost like these people— extremely well-to-do sportsball fans and system-believers— are burdened by some vague consciousness of what we "wrongthinkers" know, but can never acknowledge.

Like they have some suspicion that the future is an ugly place, not worth showing up to. :cirnoShrug:

Israel arms ISIS-jihadists to fight against Hamas just like they armed Hamas to fight against the PFLP.

You may ask yourself “when will they ever learn?” but that's assuming the Israeli government's goal is to live in peace. Why should they need to learn, when arming terrorist groups that destabilize and escalate this conflict isn't a mistake?

Considering how much genocide, ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism and hence the expansion of their borders they have been able to justify due to hamas; considering their main argument behind stopping the entry of humanitarian aid was because they were sometimes raided by terrorist militias, which as it now turns out they funded, it was a worthy investment.

so im inclined to scold you for all your self-deprecation but then i would be a hypocrite. but i do like this part:

"Basically this is that kind of music you'd expect to find in a random MySpace or Soundclick profile in the 2000s. That kind of thing you'd get 128k MP3 downloads in a static HTML site. That kind of stuff that would normally be done by some passionate young person who just discovered they can do cool stuff to share online in a cyberworld full of people willing to discover and listen more random, creepy stuff like this. "

and i think you'll find plenty of company around here. especially as a #caturday-er.

anyways, you do a really good job with bass sounds. the overall tonal quality and just getting bass synth sounds. often times better than actual bass guitar but let's not awaken the bassists, right? i aint tryna die right before the weekend.
favorite track on the placeholder of something... i think gotta be absurd. ill check out the other album after this last listen.

hey thanks a lot for listening! this means a lot to me ❤️ (even if I don't agree with my fake bass sounding any better than real bass haha)

Regarding the self-deprecant comments... well, it's complicated, but let's say I was in a bad time and dealing with a bad situation in certain communities regarding harsh criticism and I was tired of that, and just felt the need to break with that and go more my way without any pressure. Feeling a lot better about that already, so no worries 😀

thats good to hear. theres a lot of pressure from our economic and societal systems to make the creation of art something that turns a profit, or needing to be a certain amount of prolific. all nonsense. the point of making art is the part where you are making it. that journey, that mindset. the best therapy, imho (or at least thats what i keep telling myself bc hell no i;m not paying for therapy lol).

heck yeah! Couldn't agree more. In fact sometimes it's not even about economic stuff but more like some folks pretending to be Yngwie Malsteen (even when Yngwie seems to be not that arrongant anymore haha), or obsessing on production/mixing (which can be kinda elitistic, since oftentimes that's more a matter of money and expensive tools rather than simply doing stuff). Art should be more about having fun and expressing things, not about bratting or obsessing on getting better at it!

and yeah, I like the idea behind the paragraph you quoted! I can't say I was a huge fan of everything that was done in the internet in the mid-late 2000s, and it wasn't the greatest times for many people (too much of bigot bullsh*t, you know). But when it comes to art and creatives stuff, definitively missing that special charm and the prominence of more amateur-ish attitude, in the best way. I just love the underground side of music and art 😀 and it's a pity some of that got lost.

What is Ghost?

Yet another site or project where you read endless paragraphs that talk abstractly about ideas and concepts instead of just showcasing what the delivered product/app actually is or looks like. Drives me up the goddamn wall sometimes. Why should I be interested, you know what I'm saying?

Edit: alright guys, every person doesn't have to reply saying what it is. I'm not actually interested anymore. My point was to whine about how it wasn't clear from their home page. 👍 When I realized it was too hard to figure out what this is, I lost interest.

OP linked to an entry in their newsletter. If you check out their site, they are being pretty clear that they're in the business of "Independent technology for modern publishing", stating in pretty big letters that "Ghost is a powerful app for professional publishers to create, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members.".

Reading their newsletters would get boring fast if they started every single one of them with repeating what they are.

It’s easier to understand conservatives when you realize that they operate on a system of vertical morality while we operate on a system of horizontal morality. In a system of horizontal morality, something is right or wrong based on whether it causes harm, violates consent, etc regardless of the social status or class of an individual. In a system of vertical morality something is right or wrong based solely on whether an authority figure says so or not
in reply to Danielle Foré

This is why they say things like, “without god what’s to stop you from going around murdering and raping?” In their system of morality, those things are only bad because an authority said they were bad. And when the authority says they are okay, they’re okay. Which looks inconsistent to us, but makes perfect sense to them.

This is why they also think that abolishing the police would result in the purge for example. They can’t conceptualize morality independent from authority

So when you wonder, “How can they flip flop on liking Elon?” It’s easy: Elon is good when their authority tells them he is good and he’s bad when the authority tells them he is bad. It doesn’t matter that Trump is a rapist or a cheat or racist or anything else, because the authority said he is good. That is the only requirement. Everything is built on appeal to authority

So some Democratic politicians actually got the memo, but clearly others are flailing. To help them out, I’d like to offer my sage political wisdom. Try the following message:

1. Kick Trump out.
2. Tax the living shit out of billionaires.
3. Use the money to get folks back on their feet and clean up this mess.

Just that. Simple and direct, no fussing around. Give that a try and see how it lands. Float a trial balloon in some minor swing district election and see what happens.

Occasional renewal of the prediction that Trump will not finish his term, and I think it's even plausible he'll be out by the midterms.

The current situation is unsustainable, even for the people who are benefiting most from it. Those people will, of course, try to keep him in place as long as they can, but it's a losing battle. With a lot of ugly tradeoffs in the meantime.

Sadly, Dem leadership are among the ones who believe they benefit. They don't even try to hide it. Schumer and Jeffries, like the fash faction and theocrat faction, want to keep Donny Littlehands in the Oval Office as long as possible, because they think that's what's best for them. Lesser techbros will start turning on Trump now, with Musk and Thiel paying the bills, but they can't do much harm without getting hurt back. And the bigger techbros (Goog, MS, FB, Apple, Amazon) are basically part of the Big Bidness faction. That faction isn't going to defect until the very very last minute.

BTW if you want to be horrified go look for Jeffries's response when a journalist asked if he was planning to do anything about Trump having crossed Jeffries's "red line" of congressional arrests. When I say he'll be much worse than Pelosi that's what I mean. Pelosi was good at procedure and knew how to use money to whip. The only things Jeffries is good at are passing the buck and reassuring donors.

That means the rest of us just have to hope we survive, and that midterms don't get derailed by a terrorist attack, and Trump doesn't get martyred in a way that cements GOP power, or any of a dozen other obvious that could wreck the possibility of Dems regaining control of one or both chambers.

Been off my anti depressants since April now and now I feel like I've reached a state of craziness. I've developed an unhealthy obsession with someone (who hopefully doesn't know, but I did send a Facebook request), and am not sleeping at night. If I don't work through this over the weekend, I'm afraid it is back to the Zoloft for me.

Keep checking my fb to see if the request is accepted, and I'm guessing it will not be. Keep checking said persons active status on Teams at work. Keep trying to walk past said person. I am a psycho.

Also in the strangest coincidence, when I tried messaging said person at work, it actually failed to go through. You can't block internal people so that was fucking weird.
