At 17, Haya is no stranger to war. On again, off again, it was a frequent part of her childhood, but this time it has brought her to the brink of despair. When it started, she was studying, but her school was one of many destroyed in the bombardment.
Haggs Castle on the southside of Glasgow. Built in 1587 for the Maxwell Family, it's considered one of the few Medieval buildings still standing in Glasgow. Others include Glasgow Cathedral (built 1197), Provand's Lordship (built in 1471), Provan's Hall (built around 1450) and Crookston Castle (built around 1400).
In @pluralistic 's The Lost Cause there was some software that kids used to show fellow residents a vision of a better future by modelling their streets and their houses. Basically what construction companies do to sell houses, or what road building companies do to sell asphalt. But easier and faster to use.
The question is, do we have anything like that? I'm at a point where I need to show a future of my town to residents, and I want to show them pictures and renderings, not just maps.
Time for some summer books! Looking for some light fare to load on my e-reader for travel: some history, a few spy or detective yarns. Anyone have something to recommend?
On June 12, 2025, Aflac Incorporated, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), identified unauthorized access to its network. The Company promptly initiated its cybersecurity incident response protocols and believes that it contained the intrusion within hours. The Company’s business remains operational, and its systems were not affected by ransomware. The Company continues to serve its policyholders as it responds to this incident and can underwrite policies, review claims, and otherwise service customers as usual. The Company has engaged leading third-party cybersecurity experts to support the Company’s response to the incident.

Israeli forces killed 23 Palestinians Friday after opening fire on crowds gathered near an aid distribution site, witnesses and medics say.
Tanks and drones fired at thousands of people near a distribution centre in central Gaza run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the witnesses and medics said.

Perceptions of democracy in China are *higher* than in the US, the UK, and France. This data is coming from the world's largest democracy perception study, published by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (a Danish-based non-profit organization).

YNet berichtet über #OperationNarnia - ein seit 2012 geplantes Projekt des Militärgeheimdiensts von #Israel in dessen Rahmen 2022 eine Liste von 100 Top-Wissenschaftlern des #Iran aus der Atomforschung erstellten, die wörtlich "enthauptet", also niedergemetzelt werden sollten.
באמ"ן דירגו יותר מ-100 חוקרי אטום מרכזיים, לפי ארבע רמות: א' - החשובים ביותר - ב', ג', ד'. ואז הגיעה מכת הפתיחה של המלחמה, והשמות בצמרת הרשימה חוסלו בזה אחר זה | הסיפור המלא: היום ב"ידיעות אחרונות" במוסף "7 ימים"
Seit September begann dann die entsprechende konkrete Vorbereitung, weil man glaubte dass die Gelegenheit günstig sein wird das Projekt umzusetzen. Die Wissenschaftler auf der Liste wurden vom "Enthauptungsforum" - nach Kenntnisstand, Fachwissen und Bedeutung in Kategorien A, B, C, D selektiert, in der sie dann in der Reihenfolge von A bis D "enthauptet", also ermordet werden sollten.
Der Beginn des Angriffskriegs von Israel auf den Iran vor einer Woche diente dem Umsetzen der Operation Narnia. Also begann man die Reihe der Liste entlang zu gehen und ermorderte Wissenschaftler.
Ich denke das wirft einen wichtigen Blick auf die Begründung Israels für den plötzlichen Angriff.
Einen Einblick darüber wie diese Angriffe - zur Ermordung von Personen auf der Liste ausgeführt worden sind gibt dieser CNN-Beitrag.
Da wird dann schon mal ein ganzes Gebäude mit Einwohnern darin zerstört, in dem ein Wissenschaftler lebt.

I think he has it mostly straightened out and has the class he really needs for his major (Actuary) but the scheduling counselor was appallingly worthless.
they often are. I am glad some things got squared away. Watch for the upper level course work as some classes are specialty. By then you should be friendly enough with the deans and profs. To have them help a bit more. One of my nieces is thinking of going into the same school of study (actuary).
I think the trades are good if your intent is to run your own shop - get certified and get 2-3 years of good experience in and then open your own business.
Perhaps, but not a single person wanting to study chemistry should be denied the opportunity because the university is instead putting money into professors to teach about Queer Japan.
⚪️ A child picks up spilled flour from the ground. Others search for bits of pasta — all just trying to find something to eat, as Israel and the U.S. tighten the starvation siege on Gaza.
The video depicts a poignant scene on a street where a person, dressed in a dark, soiled jacket and pants, is seated on the ground, facing away from the camera. Beside them is a large, transparent plastic bag and a small bowl, suggesting a situation of need. The person is seen reaching out towards the ground, possibly in search of something, while the background shows a closed shop with a metal shutter and a few pedestrians walking by, including one in a red shirt. The scene is set in a desolate urban environment, with the ground appearing dirty and the overall atmosphere somber. The video captures the essence of the person's plight, highlighting the stark contrast between their situation and the indifferent passersby.

Race shilling is racist, because it involves racial segregation, with "whites can't mix with browns and blacks because browns and blacks always fuck shit up" type of arguments, it's a social organization based on race and ethnics. Is it as hostile and violent as neonazi skinheads curbstomping and killing black guys on the street and calling them slurs? No, but it's still racist, racial segregation is the kind of speech these guys use for PR and plausible deniability as well, as many of them surely wouldn't mind venting their frustration by beating the living fuck out of "them filthy niggers".
Also always assume this kind of echochambers are a honeypot, feds have experience with this.
@sally you're making a lot of assumptions. i don't think having racial preferences is necessarily racist and i don't see anything there that's explicitly against other races, so i'm not convinced there's anything racist about it.
just playing devils advocate here with regard to the term "racist"
Whites likely get killed (though I'd blame them for going to a place they're not welcomed, bullying tourists is always correct), blacks get three times longer sentences for the same crimes whites commit in the US.
I get blacks do a lot of shit by virtue of being poorfags and crackheads but surely the State is handing them ammo very liberally by bullying them harder.
@sally @Yoruka >blacks get three times longer sentences for the same crimes this may have been true sometime in the distant past but it's quite the opposite now, especially in soros-controlled jurisdictions. whites get the book thrown at them and non-whites get let off for social justice reasons
Considering the US is a mostly white country with a majority of leaders being white I'll take this with a grain of salt, specially considering prisons and jail time are a business in the US, and blacks and chicanos being the racial minority (which are also much more likely to do violent crimes because they're poorfags and crackheads) are the easier target to print money off labor camps because they're that, a minority, far less numbers.
The jewish elite doesn't care about white goys much like they don't care about brown and black goys, but they're not stupid, they'd rather blatantly bully the weaker than the stronger, as harming the status-quo ultimately doesn't benefit them.
@cjd @Yoruka there is a difference between free association, which is fine, vs. segregationism which explicitly excludes certain people from their society based on race. That is what ethnostates necessitate.
@Yoruka @cjd How big would something have to be in order to be considered a "society"? Would something like a China-town or a Native American Reservation fit the idea of "freedom of association"?
@cjd @Yoruka freedom of association can include discrimination for sure, but I'm talking about a larger scale scenario where we're talking about inclusion in a state. I.e. black people don't have to hang out with white people, but that is different than white people not being allowed to be in a society with black people.
Maja is on hunger strike! Anti-fascist days of action 20-22 June 2025
Following an illegal extradition from Germany to Hungary and almost a year of cruel solitary confinement in Budapest, Maja, an anti-fascist from Jena, went on hunger strike on 5 June 2025. Maja is demanding to be transferred back to Germany.
The situation is acute. We must act now.
Every day of fasting increases the risk of damage to health. However, the German government and the German Foreign Office have not yet exerted any noticeable influence on the Hungarian government. It is therefore up to us to increase the pressure on them.
That is why we are calling for international days of action in solidarity with Maja on the weekend of 20 to 22 June. All over Germany and in other countries, rallies and actions should take place in front of German and Hungarian institutions and embassies and the seats of the responsible parties.
The action days take place 15 days after the start of the hunger strike. After two weeks of fasting, Maja will then already be in a critical phase. On 20 June 2025, the court in Budapest will also decide on their application to be transferred to house arrest.
Get active!
Form action committees in your cities now and prepare actions.
Activate your international contacts! We must build international pressure.
Go to the embassies and consulates of Hungary and Germany.
Organise demonstrations and creative actions in public spaces.
Send us your calls to solikomitee-maja@systemli.org by 17 June 2025 so that we can publish all actions together.
After your actions, publish reports, pictures and videos on Instagram in collaboration with our @free.maja account.
Free Maja goes Pride
We are also calling on people to take part in the CSD and Pride demonstrations before and after the days of action and to make Maja’s cause visible there. You can find templates to print flyers and a banner at: basc.news/aktionskit-unterstue….
Bring Maja back home! No extraditions to Hungary! Freedom for all antifas!

WTF went wrong with so many western countries?
Interestingly, Switzerland is still the only country in the world that practices direct democracy.
I'd say this is evidence that when THE PEPOLE get to tell the government how to manage the country by voting on issues and not just electing politicians, the result is far better!
I never understood why anyone ever trusted politicians to do the right thing.

Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers
I'm looking for a privacy-focused, open-source Android browser. Here are some options I've found: * IronFox – Privacy-oriented and recommended by LibreWolf. GitLab Link * Fennec F-Droid – Seems like development has stopped. F-Droid Link * Waterfox – Waterfox Link * Librewolf – Privacy-focused but not sure about Android support.
Is there any other browser out there that fits this criteria? Is there an even better choice? I’m particularly interested in ones that focus on privacy.

You, @anonymiss, didn't write the headline. You saw the problem with the headline, but Tom's Hardware apparently did not.
I have a lot of fun laughing at poorly written (or simply wrong) headlines. Could I have done any better? I think I did.
There are sites dedicated to ridiculous headlines: headlines like "British Left Waffles on Falklands."
I've heard of at least one copy editor who lost his job because he (for the fun of it) wrote a terrible headline for an article. There's an English-language newspaper in Japan called the Mainichi. They once published an article about a new device meant to speed up processing of people entering the country. The device was made by Kinki Electric. Kinki is a region of Japan also known as Kansai. The headline was Kinki Device Eases Entry.

Should say current dive, for weapons you find underwater.

You purchase it once and you can use it every dive after that if you want.
