Murdering Journalists in Gaza
counterpunch.org/2025/06/24/mu…
"On November 19, 2023, Belal Jadallah, the founding director of Press House, Palestine, was killed by an Israeli air strike as he tried to evacuate Gaza City. A decade of advocacy for independent Palestinian journalism ended in rubble. His death, featured in Robert Greenwald’s unflinching documentary Gaza: Journalists Under Fire, encapsulates the moral and material stakes More

Ceasefire with Iran
IDF: We attacked missile launchers in western Iran that were ready to launch
Netanyahu: “All operation objectives achieved”
Meanwhile, this morning’s headlines:
Four killed in missile strike in Be’er Sheva
Soroka Hospital: We received 26 wounded from the strike in Be’er Sheva, two in moderate condition in the courtyard and one remains in mild condition
📢 🕯️ At least four Israelis were killed and others were injured, some seriously, when an Iranian missile directly struck a residential building in Beersheba on Tuesday
A "ceasefire" went into effect, according to #US President Trump, who declared that "the ceasefire is now in effect, please do not violate it."

Images are transferred from the Rubin Observatory using "direct writes via the S3 API to an object store" at the US Data Facility at SLAC in CA and distributed to the UK and France sites.
Given the high bandwidth-delay product of the links between sites (~8 Gbps per image transfer * ~165 ms round trip time RTT = ~165 MB), transfers are done using specialized connection pooling/keep-alive code and TCP tuning (e.g., initial and max cwnd size, congestion control, ..).

PS. If you’re in touch with them, they might want to know: it looks like their web site is down: rubinobservatory.org/
interesting ! Are those dedicated links used only by the observatory or it relies on existing public infrastructure connections? I know there are some direct links between LA and Santiago, so I find it surprising to go over Florida.

USA and Israel, the ultimate rogue states.
It’s hard to overstate or even begin to list all the genuinely awful precedents set by Israel and the U.S.’s behavior vis à vis Iran in the latest war. But if we had to summarize it in one expression it’d be “maximum paranoia and secrecy is the only rational security strategy.”Iran was paradoxically in many ways too transparent, reasonable and cooperative - accepting international monitoring that provided targeting intelligence, engaging in diplomatic processes that turned out to be elaborate traps and honoring agreements that were unilaterally abandoned.
In short, the key lesson for any reasonable third-party state is, paradoxically, be like North Korea.

Two suspects have been reportedly questioned after park staff alerted authorities about “marriage” involving a nine-year-old Ukrainian girlRT
The definition of political #conservatism isn’t upholding ”traditional values”, that’s just another lie they told you.
It’s about conserving the relationships of power within society. About how the rich ”deserve” their privileges etcetera.
That’s how it was and has been from the french revolution onwards. Don’t believe the hype.
Someone needs to coordinate a military operation. Instead of using purpose-built operational planning systems, they create an Excel spreadsheet with unit locations, timing, and personnel assignments. They email this spreadsheet to 15 different national representatives for “coordination.” Each person makes changes, saves a new version, and emails it back.Within 48 hours, there are 23 different versions of this file floating around on various government email servers, shared drives, and personal devices. Nobody knows which version is current. Half the recipients forward it to subordinates who “need to see this.” Some clever staff officer converts it to PowerPoint for a briefing.
Final result: Operational security details scattered across hundreds of endpoints with zero audit trail, no access controls beyond “has this person’s email address,” and absolutely no way to revoke access once the information is distributed.
This isn’t hypothetical. This is how NATO’s enterprise side operates when people need to actually get work done.

I disagree with ‘tests of purity’ taken to the extreme. Of course a university will collaborate with a range of industries, usually with the aim of improving the way things are done. Universities support change in the world, sometimes incrementally, sometimes dramatically.

When I pay you to legitimise me and to train my future workforce, we’re not collaborating, I’m employing you.
My dad’s a professor and I’ve been in academic environments my whole life and it’s pretty clear, at least from my experience, who’s holding the leash and who’s wearing the collar in the relationship between industry and academia.
(Which is sad because I still naively wish an academia removed from industry servitude existed as I’d love to be a part of it.)
* this is not to say folks don’t exist within this system that work against the grain of industry influence – often at odds with the goals of the institutions that work for. As a friend who heads up a department in Vienna once told me, “I’m the only one I know who said no to Google’s €100,000” (to whitewash their image on privacy)

The image depicts a coastal scene shrouded in a thick layer of smoke, likely from a wildfire. In the foreground, a calm body of water, possibly a lake or sea, is visible, with a sandy beach and some beach chairs and umbrellas lined up along the shore. The beach is bordered by trees and a few buildings, suggesting a developed area. The middle ground features a line of trees and buildings, partially obscured by the smoke. In the background, a mountain range is visible, with smoke billowing from the top, indicating the source of the fire. The sky is overcast, with a gradient of colors from light to dark, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The overall atmosphere is hazy and muted, with the smoke dominating the scene and reducing visibility.
