Ohhhh Kay!...

For non New York followers, this was our celebrity dynasty mayoral candidate in New York, our former governor, savior and educator during COVID / #TrumpVirus and down in flames during the #MeToo height after many accusations. He came ba-ack. Maybe now gone.

New York has finally gotten ranked-preference voting, where anyone (like Cuomo) needs 51% to win instantly, and choice 2, 3, etc. may go to a runoff. Cuomo conceded - something.

Meanwhile, the two most popular candidates among the people - the NYC comptroller who fought for immigrants, and an American Muslim - teamed up to send a message: "I hope you'll vote for me #1, but if you really like him, vote me for #2." Seems there was a large contingent of "anyone but Cuomo" voters. I could be wrong now... (Monk: "But I don't think so")

And the #1 winner, of the two pro-sanity candidates is: (drumroll) ...Zohran Mamdani


And on to round 2. (The #context - This is the first ranked election for mayor in NYC - It is the primary, to choose the democratic candidate, who almost always will be the next mayor of New York. Both the two allied front-runners ("not Cuomo") have many fans.

If you are concerned that next week's move to (attempt to) proscribe Palestine Action is a fundamental threat to the right to protest and so a threat to our very democracy... then you might want to join me & thousands of others in supporting their crowdfunding for their legal costs to challenge this move to render them as 'terrorists'!

"In May, 17 of the bloc's 27 member states backed a proposal to review the EU-Israel association agreement – a political and economic cooperation pact – to increase pressure on #Israel to end its #humanitarian blockade of #Gaza.

It remains one of the most politically sensitive proposals under consideration."

This is what you need to know about #EU. Even for the minimum of measures they don't want to break the pact to stop a live stream #genocide and massive #warcrimes (or even activate the arrest warrants for israeli leaders to be investigated for the accusations), but to pretend they do something for starving #Palestinians. To hold them somehow forever hungry but not starving. To hold them under #US and EU bombs but not extremely malnourished. To cut the babies in pieces but not dying because of starvation....
And for this, they are not able to agree to review the pact.

@Yorkshire Bylines You wouldn't encourage a schizophrenic to spread their paranoid delusions as it would be unhealthy for people on the edge you are susceptible to suggestion, same is true for gender dysphoria. If it were up to me, I would not permit hormone or surgical therapy before age 25 when the brain in most people is fully developed because before that time they may change their minds as they mature, but once you've gut your penis or breasts off there is no going back and often the damage done by hormones is irreparable. I mean most kids in college change their majors four times so clearly they aren't ready for deciding what they want to be for the rest of their lives, and you can always retrain, but you can't sew your sex bits on once you've cut them off. And let's be clear there is no gender conversion, there is de-gendering because you can't give a man a functional womb or a woman functional testes. And I would not allow them in the position to influence children under 25 for the same reasons. As an adult, what one wants to do in the presence of other consenting adults is fair game, but I think we need to eliminate potential damage to children, and if that means restricting trans rights so be it. As far as bathroom situation goes, I think we should just do away with gender specific bathrooms and eliminate that problem, make sure booths have a good lock and no looking under or over and be done with it. Women's sports, I don't think it's for men pretending to be women to compete because they have genetic advantages in terms of muscle mass. Perhaps create a separate category for them to compete amongst themselves.

35 years ago, the colonial state laid siege to the Mohawk community of Kanehsatà:ke. Tanks, guns, and lies were deployed against land defenders holding sacred ground. That summer became a spark — not just for Indigenous resistance here, but for every struggle against settler colonialism.

This is the first in a series of drops marking that anniversary.
Narrated by my homie Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas, who was there, behind the lines, holding it down. In this one, he breaks down the story of the Warrior Flag — how it went from the Pines to Standing Rock, to Palestine, to anywhere people rise up for their land and dignity.

The Siege of Kanehsatà:ke wasn’t the end.
It was the warning.

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.

I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).

Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.

It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".

I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.

A USB cable with built in operating system and wifi for exploiting computers

A tiny circuit board containing an ESP32-S3 hides inside a USB-C plug on each cable, and can carry out a keystroke injection attack. The cable’s firmware is open-source, and has an impressive set of features: a payload syntax checker, payload autocompletion, OS detection, and the ability to impersonate the USB device of your choice.
\
The cable provides a control interface over WiFi, and it’s possible to edit and deploy live payloads without physical access to the cable (this is where the syntax checker should be particularly useful). The firmware also provides a remote shell for computers without a network connection; the cable opens a shell on the target computer which routes commands and responses through the cable’s WiFi connection (demonstrated in the video below).
\
The main advantage of the Evil Crow Cable Wind is its price: only about $25, at which point you can afford to lose a few during deployment. We’ve previously seen a malicious cable once before. Of course, these attacks aren’t limited to cables and USB drives; we’ve seen them in USB-C docks, in a gaming mouse, and the fear of them in fans.

🚨 STOP ‘ISRAELI’ WEAPONS FROM ENTERING THE PORT OF ROTTERDAM

Mayor Carola Schouten is ignoring the voices of thousands of Rotterdammers who have been demonstrating for weeks against the arrival of the Maersk ship ‘Izmir’. So, organisations from outside Rotterdam are joining forces to increase the pressure!

We demand that the Mayor don't let the Izmir dock in Rotterdam on Friday, June 27. In this ship are wings for the F-35 fighter jet that ‘Israel’ uses to bomb hospitals, schools, tents and other civilian targets in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran. We will not let our city's port be misused as a link in the genocide of Palestinians. Therefore, come to the EMERGENCY-DEMONSTRATION on Thursday (June 26) 18:30 at the CITY HALL in ROTTERDAM! Also make sure to bring friends, family and colleagues! Together we will put an end to our city's complicity in genocide.

ROTTERDAM IS SAYING NO TO GENOCIDE!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky on Wednesday signed an accord with pan-European rights body the Council of Europe for establishing a special tribunal to try top officials responsible for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The court would prosecute the "crime of aggression" in the invasion, which Russia launched in February 2022, and could, in theory, try senior figures up to President Vladimir Putin.

Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Wait, what were we talking about?

I'm with Frances Ryan - the cut to disability payment is the final confirmation that Labour is not the party it once was.....

Fairly often on here I see people sharing stories about #PublicLibraries being like a secret cheat code around late-capitalist extraction and the collapse of communitarian values we see every day in a world built on individualism, consumption and individualistic consumption. Here’s another one:

After arranging a drag queen story hour at her very rural library, out of the abundant depth of her caring and curiosity and without a great deal of political context, and not quite knowing what she had gotten into when chuds with sidearms and bibles showed up to block the door with their pickups, and being very appreciative when, truly spontaneously as we’d never organized together before, a much larger number of anarcho inflected antifascists of all flavors appeared from across the region to help keep the day safe (the queens were extremely sparkly and the kids were extremely giggly), the librarian was so appreciative and got so curious (again, as librarians do) that she now wants to put together a series of intro workshops around topics like de-escalation, mutual aid, protest safety, community defense and consensus-based autonomous organizing.

So, tl;dr.. some christofascists showed up to be mean and dumb about queer and trans people and scare little kids and now the targeted library is starting to look a little like an anarchist infoshop 🖤😂🖤
