Due to the chemotherapy, the platelet count in my mother's blood was near 0. She needed an urgent transfusion but the hospital said they had no blood to give. We pitched in and we managed to donate 12 units the first day and and another 3 the second. My mother just used two. The staff was happy because you rarely see more donations that what is the absolutely necessary.
This was not the first time we've dealt with things like that. Where I grew up, every major event in some friend's or relative's life became a call to urgently donate blood.

"A Deputy US Marshal who fit the general description of a subject being sought by #ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was briefly detained at a federal building in Tucson after entering the lobby of the building," the U.S. Marshals Service statement said.
A deputy U.S. marshal was mistakenly detained by immigration agents inside the federal building that houses Tucson's immigration court, U.S. Marshals Service officials confirmed on Thursday.
"It's part of the history of the field of artificial intelligence that every time somebody figured out how to make a computer do something—play good checkers, solve simple but relatively informal problems—there was a chorus of critics to say, 'that's not thinking'." -Pamela McCorduck´.

I'm going to write a program to play tic-tac-toe. If y'all don't think it's "AI", then you're just haters. Nothing will ever be good enough for y'all. You want scientific evidence of intelligence?!?! I can't even define intelligence so take that! \s
Seriously tho. This person is arguing that a checkers program is "AI". It kinda demonstrates the loooong history of this grift.

Wow, Firefox by default applies DNS encryption over HTTP, to protect you from your evil ISP watching what sites you check. But you know who they use to resolve the DNS request? No other than fucking Cloudfare! So in effect, Cloudfare sees everything about the sites you visit when you use Firefox. Thanks Mozilla, but I'd rather trust my ISP than Cloudfare in that case. And cherry on the cake, they enable this by default, without opt-in request. The "champions of the Free Web" are the worst
@Zergling_man @redneonglow The default for any company based is the US is "no trust". They can claim whatever they want about doing no logs and all, but they have to abide to whatever the intelligence community tells them to do, and gag orders are a thing. So in effect, you have no way of knowing what they do with your DNS data.
@narvod yeah I'm wondering what I missed here... I use them for DoH on my home network. It's at least as much about circumventing malicious packet shaping and NXDOMAIN hijacking as it is about privacy from the ISP. The service is free and doesn't involve logging in to an account such as would necessitate tracking of user IDs. If cloudflare has been fucking around, I haven't heard about it yet.
According to Kash Patel, you could never prosecute anyone because it might re-victimize the victim. Can you name a single other case where that applied?
"I guess we have to let this international arms dealer go. The case could cause trauma to the victims of the weapons he sold."
It's 2025 and #race #riots are returning to #LosAngeles. 40+ years ago it was blacks and whites. Today it's human #Angelinos and the inhuman #Trump Neo-#Gestapo.

»The lies about the blood and the flour were dispensed by the IDF spokesperson and his submissive shills: most Israeli military correspondents. An investigation by Haaretz that determined, based on video footage, eyewitness testimony and changes to the army's version of events, that the IDF is responsible for the shootings that killed dozens, as well as an investigation by CNN, refuted these lies, one by one. We are left, then, with blood, flour and lies. We cannot remain silent about them.«
»Last Sunday, dozens of people were shot dead in the aid line to get food. The IDF claimed that the fatal incident "simply didn't happen!" Whether or not it did, at least 35 people were killed & 170 injured in a line filled with desperation.«
The lies became insults to the intelligence. The place where the ppl were killed was within what was defined as the area of the compound. The foundation operating the facility joined the cover-up: "These fake reports have been actively fomented by Hamas."«
»Since the killing of the Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank in 2022, through the killing of 15 paramedics in Rafah in March, and up to this massacre, it is already clear that the statements of the IDF spokesperson should be considered false until proved otherwise. A rare occurrence.«
»When it comes to war crimes, the likelihood of hearing a word of truth from the IDF, especially in the hours immediately following the incident, when it's still possible to spread lies, is negligible to nonexistent. Israel and its media are not particularly troubled by this; after all, everyone wants to live in the pleasant, addictive lie of the military's morality.«
»But this time it didn't work. The investigation by Jeremy Diamond and his colleagues was a gut punch to the lies of the military and the media in Israel.«
»Investigative journalism isn't only about wringing saccharine, patriotic, militaristic emotions from the audience, especially in wartime. Not a single investigation of the kind that CNN did has been aired on Israeli television.«
»Diamond brought 17 eyewitness accounts, ballistic examination of ammunition found in the bodies of the dead and analysis of the sounds of the gunfire, all proving that the source of the gunfire was machine guns exclusively in the hands of the IDF. Eyewitnesses reported being shot at from tanks, helicopters, drones and the sea. Not even the most "Levantine" imagination could attribute this massacre to anyone but the IDF«
#GazaGenocide / Azerbaijan maintains oil exports to Israel through shell companies despite official halt
Despite official Azerbaijani customs data showing oil exports to #Israel ceased in 2025, Israeli sources confirm the country promised continued supply through intermediary trading companies. The arrangement allows #Azerbaijan to avoid Turkish pressure while maintaining what was 28% of Israel’s oil imports.
Oil flows through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline to #Turkey’s Ceyhan Port, then to Israeli ports via companies like #SOCAR Trading. This provides political cover as Azerbaijan can claim it’s “not fueling planes that exterminate Palestinian children” while preserving strategic energy relationships.
Turkish opposition parties criticize Erdogan for allowing continued oil transit despite Turkey’s official trade embargo with #Israel over the Gaza genocide.
Trump’s #USAID cuts eliminated $268 million in global independent media funding, removing alternatives to state propaganda in authoritarian countries like Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan essentilay eliminated independent journalism.
Reporters Without Borders ranks Azerbaijan 167th of 180 countries for press freedom, calling it the “greatest” repression since 1991 independence. Pro-government outlets systematically doxx detained journalists using private communications, surveillance footage, and personal documents - likely obtained through torture, phone seizures, or Pegasus spyware targeting.
Meydan TV, with nearly 1 million Instagram followers, now operates with zero in-country staff for the first time in its 12-year history after all local journalists were arrested.
The government controls virtually all media through state ownership and opaque private holdings like Global Media Group, whose chair received presidential honors for “media development services.”
"Birds were the first after people to use the remains of fiber optic for their own needs <...> This is just one of dozens of manifestations of how #nature survives in the flames of #war," the brigade's message says.

The use of fiber optics allows the operator of an FPV #drone to perform tasks despite electronic #warfare (EW) equipment.

The U.S., the world’s largest producer of nuclear power, generates over 800 billion kilowatt-hours annually, per the Energy Information Institute. Yet, it pressures Iran to abandon its nuclear energy program.
Beyond media propaganda and the hesitations of certain progressive circles, popular sentiment in the Sahel is clear: a deep aspiration for sovereignty, security and a dignified life.

phenomenon that onlookers discount the behavior of an artificial intelligence program by arguing that it is not real intelligence
