House Dems push to ‘Block the Bombs’ amid Israel’s widening war #Palestine mondoweiss.net/2025/06/house-d…

A brain drain is expected to occur in American universities due to funding cuts and academic freedom concerns.

Professors facing funding cuts and uncertain futures are quietly signaling their availability and receiving high-paying offers from institutions abroad.

The outflow of top researchers is being compounded by a decline in new talent coming in, as international students are increasingly looking elsewhere.

Gaza Civil Defense announces the martyrdom of one of its employees by Israeli enemy fire dailyyemen.net/2025/06/19/gaza…

Something that I noticed in the FOSS and decentralized tech movements (outside of the crypto space) is that there aren't that many incentives to get small businesses to become less dependent on Big Tech which I think is a problem. Small businesses are at the mercy of Big Tech services for web hosting, email, etc and most business owners aren't tech savvy enough to self-host or find alternatives.

I think this is a hole that should be filled by FOSS/decentralized tech developers and activists. There should be more easy to use tools for self-hosting, communication, and other things that small businesses need that are open-source and decentralized. Along with support and advocacy groups to help promote them. I think RetroShare and YunoHost are such tools that could be great for small businesses, but I rarely see any promotion for them.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an extreme anti-capitalist sentiment in the FOSS and decentralized tech communities and would be opposed to this. Personally, I think this is much different than something like Meta creating a fediverse instance with the plan to EEE it. Trying to fight for a decentralized future also means to get your local Mom & Pop shop off of Big Tech.

Building 7 was destroyed in the manner of a classic implosion, falling suddenly, symmetrically, and in absolute free fall into its own footprint.

The Twin Towers were destroyed by waves of explosions that pulverized the building contents and hurled steel beams up to 600 ft in all directions.

Let's not forget, while Israel is committing crimes of aggression, and bringing the world to the brink, they're also now committing one of the most heinous crimes against humanity the world has seen.

They are baiting desperate, starving, people in, only to shoot them when they attempt to get the pittance of food offered.

This is not just a war crime, this a crime against humanity, and yet another act of genocide against the Palestinian people by their occupiers

In a powerful interview, former Congressman Curt Weldon, who recently appeared on Tucker Carlson's podcast, comes clean about what actually happened on 9/11. After twenty years in congress, Curt Weldon was set chairman of the House Armed Services Committee when he publicly questioned the accuracy of the 9-11 report.

i just noticed something interesting about twitter. when you view posts with a large number of replies, it seems to completely hide all replies by non-verified users.

for example this post has 1.2k replies, but you can scroll to the end and won't see a single reply by a non-verified user. (i didn't actually count the replies to confirm that you're even seeing all 1.2k of them)

looks like another insidious form of algorithmic downraking i wasn't aware of

When I initially told people I was retiring months ago, it was funny that more than I expected reacted with “What will you do? I would be so bored!”

Since retiring, and albeit I’m still trading for fun 1-2 hours a day max, I’ve been so busy with hobbies and just living life

It’s almost like some people don’t have hobbies or don’t know how to enjoy life outside of stressing over work or dumb political/news shit. Hiking, golfing, traveling (domestically), reading, learning, etc. The list goes on

The marching in last Sunday's parade in DC didn't look like this!

Life sucks if you love #bananas or #banana #flavoring.

It is damn near impossible to find #banana #pudding (not the "banana cream pie" crap).
It's impossible to find #banana #IceCream (again, not the "banana cream pie" crap.)
It's damn near next to impossible to find #banana #bread.

The World does not enjoy bananas as much as I.

At least #BlueBell #IceCream makes frozen banana pops.

President Trump on TS, and almost exactly what I was saying earlier today:

“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

how to boot alpine linux on your mnt reform 2 with the rcore module:

- Install alpine in a chroot
- enable the main and community repos (libgpiod is in community)
- packages I installed in my chroot: sciops.net/downloads/rcore-wor…
- Add my repo to /etc/apk/repositories: sciops.net/downloads/alpine/ed…
- Add my pubkey to /etc/apk/keys: sciops.net/downloads/khm-6850e…
- apk add linux-rcore
- delete the /boot/extlinux directory
- put this file in /boot/boot.scr: sciops.net/downloads/rcore-boo…
- format an sdcard with two partitions: partition number one vfat, partition number two ext4
- copy /boot from the chroot to the sdcard's vfat partition
- copy everything else to the sdcard's ext4 partition
- insert the sd card and turn on the computer
- log in as root
- run rmmod dwmac_rk; gpioset -c 3 -t 100ms,100ms,0ms 23=1; modprobe dwmac_rk
- plug an ethernet cable in the computer if you don't have wifi
- install to nvme via setup-alpine
- check the resulting /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
- reference: sciops.net/downloads/rcore-ext…
- boot up / rock out

TODO:
- publish the APKBUILD and config for the kernel package
- try out some different kernel versions (lts and stable?)
- make a 'reformations' package that does gpioset on boot and contains some useful sway config
- fix bugs

@Arthur_500 Xi Jin Ping has already gone on record stating that Israel’s aggression against Iran is unacceptable. And apparently when the war started there were several countries allied with Iran that wanted to immediately join the conflict, but it was Iran that told them not to, as Iran hasn’t yet even used 1/3 of its true military capability.

hot take:

addictive screen use isn't leading to mental health issues in the youth, it's a symptom.

society increasingly doesn't care, so kids are trying to compensate.

that doesn't mean that commercial social media isn't designed to be addictive. the truth is that kids not properly cared for will be addicted to _something_. it's just another thing to get addicted to, which is easily accessible and doesn't raise immediate suspicion.

if it wasn't media consumption, it would be booze, weed or something else.

Chinese scientists using gene editing technology have successfully developed a new type of anti-aging cells called senescence (seno)-resistant human mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs), which generate exosomes that act as messengers in transmitting "youthful signals" for cell rejuvenation. The study offers a new cell therapy approach for humans to combat age-related health decline.

What grocery items are always worth the extra $1-$5?


Prices keep climbing, so I’m trying to pick my battles in the supermarket. Which items do you refuse to cheap out on, and why? Taste, health, longevity, peace of mind… I’d love to hear what’s worth the few extra dollars for you.

For me, it’s honey from local beekeepers—supermarket brands locally are known to sell fake or adulterated sugar syrup as honey.
