Remembering Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian
On January 6, 2007, a young White couple, Christopher Newsom and his girlfriend Channon Christian, went to visit a friend in Knoxville, TN. They never made it. They were kidnapped by five blacks (4 males and 1 female), who took them to a house where Christopher was repeatedly sodomized with a foreign object; after which he was bound, gagged and blindfolded, shot in the back . . . stormfront.org/forum/blogs/u15…

Pirate and chill: The effect of netflix on illegal streaming,

Abstract: Over 188 million people in the United States use a subscription video streaming service, yet digital piracy remains prevalent and costs the U.S. economy an estimated $29.2 billion annually. This paper investigates the relationship between a movie's availability on Netflix, the largest video subscription service, and intent to illegally stream the movie. We leverage a contract dispute that caused Epix (a cable network company) to move all its movies from Netflix to Hulu, representing a substantial decrease in the legal streaming availability of these movies. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that reducing legal streaming access via the removal of Epix movies from Netflix results in a 20% increase in piracy intent relative to movies that remained on Netflix, as measured by Google search volume. This study contributes to the understanding of the substitution between legal streaming services and movie piracy and has implications for content owners deciding what platform to offer their movie on.

Same. I've never been much of a tv/movie person in general, but netflix in its prime was fantastic. But nowadays there are like 30 different streaming services, every single one is egregiously priced, and everything has their own exclusive libraries. Hell I'm surprised they're not streaming genAI slop "movies" yet at the rate they're all going (or maybe they already are, who knows). Fuck all of that noise.
Spotify did the same thing for me years ago. Went from a hand-maintained local library to Spotify, held on to that for like 10 years, ditched them at the start of this year when they were overwhelmingly supporting fascists with political donations. Switched to Tidal for a bit since it has higher quality and better artist payouts, but today I'm right back to hosting a local library (which is better than ever these days), buying what I can directly from artists to support them rather than subscription fees.
Wait, he wants to make it easier to fire government workers?

Sans eux, la révolution ukrainienne n’aurait jamais triomphé.
En février 2014, des groupes paramilitaires ont affronté la police au coeur de Kiev et ont fait fuir le président Yanoukovitch. Ils ont installé un nouveau gouvernement.
Dans le récit médiatique communément admis, ils ont été présentés comme les héros de la révolution. Ils étaient du bon côté de la barricade.
En fait, il s’agissait de corps francs d’extrême droite, désormais lourdement armés.
Ils s’appellent Secteur Droit, Azov ou Svoboda. Ils ont créé de véritables armées parallèles, largement incontrôlées. A Odessa, en mai 2014, ils ont commis un massacre de masse sans être sanctionnés. 45 personnes brûlées vives. Un massacre passé sous le radar.
Comment a-t-il pu nous échapper ?
Pourquoi les démocraties occidentales n’ont-elles pas fait entendre leur voix ?
Sans doute parce que les milices nationalistes ukrainiennes jouaient les soldats supplétifs dans une guerre beaucoup plus large. La révolution ukrainienne a été soutenue massivement par la diplomatie américaine.
Dans la nouvelle guerre froide Russie-USA, l’Ukraine est un pion décisif dans une stratégie de contention de Poutine.
Pour mieux comprendre le conflit en #Ukraine, vous avez deux options complémentaires :

„Es ist jetzt klar, dass nichts dem Westen genug Scham bereiten wird, um Israel vom geplanten “totalen Sieg" in Gaza abzuhalten. Aber ich habe dies aufgeschrieben, um noch einmal daran zu erinnern, dass wir alle wussten, was kommen würde. Niemand kann Unwissenheit vortäuschen.

And here all this time i thought Airplane! was original, and now I find out it was just a parody of a movie from 1957.
Best wel een aardig stuk. Diversiteit van strategie is super belangrijk! Al deze groepen hebben inderdaad zo hun functie binnen het actiewezen (mooi archaïsch woord is dat toch 😉). Grote groepen fungeren als instap, en de kleinere zorgen ervoor dat het Overtom-venster radicaal naar links wordt getrokken. Zo werkt dat ook in de partijpolitiek. Je ziet dat aan het Gaza-standpunt van GL/PvdA, die door activistische leden naar links is getrokken. Daarom is het ook belangrijk dat er zo meteen ook een radicaal linkse partij in de Kamer (terug) komt, om GL/PvdA links te houden.

An impressionist painting is more beautiful than a photograph of the same scene because the painting expresses much more than just physical reality.
These are some impressionist paintings of the American artist Fredric Michael Wood. It is said he often used family members, especially his daughters, as subjects.
He was no Monet but he did some good stuff.
Beauty is universal and can transcend any circumstance you are experiencing.
This is a feast for your eyes. You should view this in full screen mode.

'In 2014, the 25 July was nominated as ‘International Day of Solidarity with Jock Palfreeman’. In 2015, thanks largely to the efforts of New York City Antifa, this became an ‘International Day of Solidarity with Antifascist Prisoners’, which in 2017 is publicising Jock’s case as well as those of antifascist prisoners in Belarus, Russia and Sweden.'
PS. Jock was released from prison in Bulgaria a few years ago.

"Edward Said, in a measured and exacting essay, recounted a pivotal moment: watching the signing of the Oslo Accords in New York, seated beside Mahmoud Darwish. Hearing Arafat, he thought he was listening to Rabin. He wrote that the shame was so deep he wished the earth would swallow him. He understood then: a threshold had been crossed.
Today, that threshold has become the norm. Gaza is no longer a diplomatic issue. It is a fault line: between memory and amnesia, morality and management, sovereignty and servitude.
The official Arab order has not faltered. It has abdicated. It no longer represents. It disables, surveils, and disciplines. It no longer thinks. It replicates.
This is not a crisis. It is a strategy. This is not a defeat. It is a doctrine: do not disturb the order. Preserve the flows. Silence the pain.
Palestine does not resist to exist. It resists to prevent the erasure of truth.
Gaza stands. Because if it falls, everything falls with it.
And those who abandon it today will answer. Not before a court, but before history."

ESA’s Living Planet Symposium came to a close today, concluding a week of networking, discussions and meeting of curious, scientific minds.
Today, one of the focal points was thermal imaging instruments, which are critical for monitoring land-surface temperature – and will be carried on upcoming missions such as the upcoming Copernicus Land Surface Temperature Mission. ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission celebrated passing its 15-year milestone in orbit – the mission has helped improve weather and climate models. Three new contracts were signed for ESA’s InCubed programme, which is central to the agency’s efforts to turn promising concepts into successful Earth observation services, strengthening Europe’s position in this rapidly evolving sector.

Tiranı koruyan silahlar değil, onu destekleyen ve bütün ülkenin ona kul olmasını sağlayan üç beş kişidir. Başta inanması zor gelse de bu harfiyen doğrudur. Bu beş altı kişi her zaman tiranın gözüne girer, ona yaklaşır ve bizzat tiranın kendisi onları zulümlerinin ortağı, zevküsefalarının yareni, pis ahlaksızlıklarının pezevengi, yağmalarının yardakçısı olmaya davet eder. Bu altı kişi, reislerini öyle iyi idare ederler ki tiran, topluma yalnızca kendi kötülüğüyle değil onların aracılığıyla da zulmeder. Bu altı kişinin altında da saygın yerlere getirip beslediği altı bin kişi bulunur. Cimriliklerini yahut zalimliklerini gözetmeleri, emirlerini vaktinde yerine getirmeleri, dört bir yanında kötülük etmeleri için bu altı bin kişiyi eyaletlerin yahut mali işlerin başına getirirler. Böylece bu kişiler, yalnızca onların himayesi altındayken varlıklarını sürdürebilir yahut kanunlardan ve cezalardan muaf tutulabilir.
