Resistance in Gaza: Command Post Struck, Tanks Destroyed
At least five Zionist soldiers were wounded in three separate incidents in the Gaza Strip, occupation newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Saturday. A “security incident” in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, also prompted an emergency aerial evacuation of wounded personnel.
The Palestinian Resistance launched a series of coordinated attacks against Zionist occupation forces across the Gaza Strip, delivering yet another blow to the military amid the ongoing genocidal war.
Al-Qassam targets C2 position, snipes soldier
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters targeted a Zionist command-and-control post east of al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City with heavy mortar fire. In a separate operation in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, a Resistance sniper struck a Zionist soldier with a fatal shot.
Al-Quds Brigades targets forces across Gaza
Simultaneously, al-Quds Brigades—the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)—confirmed multiple successful operations targeting armored vehicles. The group detonated a pre-planted anti-tank explosive device east of al-Tuffah, destroying a Merkava tank during its incursion.
Another explosive device was used to destroy a tank east of al-Zaytoun neighborhood. Fighters returning from the operation reported direct hits and confirmed the tank was neutralized.
Earlier in the day, al-Quds Brigades said its fighters struck a military vehicle along the Kissufim supply route northeast of Khan Younis using a pre-planted improvised explosive device (IED). Additionally, a barrel-shaped explosive device destroyed another military vehicle in the Sheikh Nasser area east of Khan Younis.
Occupation troops were also targeted with mortar fire on Jabal al-Sawrani, east of al-Tuffah, where occupation forces have been massing in recent days.
A groundbreaking study published in July 2025 demonstrates that African savannah elephants use intentional gestures to communicate their goals, similar to great apes[^1]. The research team presented semi-captive elephants with desired and undesired items, recording their communication attempts when experimenters met, partially met, or failed to meet their goals[^1].
The study identified 38 different gesture types that elephants used almost exclusively when a visually attentive experimenter was present[^1]. The elephants showed three key criteria for intentional communication:
Audience directedness - signaling only when someone was watching
Persistence - continuing to gesture when goals were partially met
Elaboration - using new signals when communication failed
The research was conducted at the Jafuta Reserve in Zimbabwe, where elephants combined specific vocalizations with gestures in greeting behaviors[^6]. They used different types of signals including:
Silent-visual gestures
Audible gestures
Tactile gestures
Rumble vocalizations
The findings reveal that elephants, like apes, assess the communicative effectiveness of their gesturing and adjust their signals based on the audience's visual attention[^6]. This expands understanding of intentional communication beyond the primate lineage[^9].
A crucial feature of language is the ability to communicate cognitive goals to a specific audience, i.e. goal-directed intentionality. Core criteria for...

Kenyan Communist Revolutionary, Julia Njoki, Murdered in Police Custody
Communist revolutionay Julia Njoki was murdered by police in a cell in the Nanyuki police station, a city in central Kenya. Julia Njoki was kept in detention because she was unable to pay the deposit of 50,000 shillings decided by a Kenyan court. She died following multiple head injuries.
Her death comes in the context of a huge uprising against the right wing government.
The death toll from the uprising in Kenya has surged to over 30 people,with at least 107 others wounded during the nationwide marches.
The marches saw clashes erupt between protesters and police in the capital, Nairobi, as well as the city of Eldoret, with the KNCHR accusing the police of cooperating with armed gangs, who were armed with machetes and spears, in the wake of the violence.
There was widespread destruction of property in the uprising as the privatization of the country drives poverty and resistance.

Macron is now indicating that a ceasefire in Gaza is a precondition for France to recognise the State of Palestine. What a gift to Netanyahu! All he needs do, to prevent the recognition of Palestine is ensure that there is no ceasefire in Gaza!
Hospital sources told Al Jazeera that Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 85 people since dawn, including 46 in Gaza City alone.
Meanwhile, Al-Shifa Hospital Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya warned that Gaza’s hospitals could shut down by tomorrow without fuel. He accused the Israeli army of restricting fuel deliveries “up to the point of death,” saying medical teams are stretched thin and supplies are running critically low.
People are absolute about their privacy. But none of those types will ever factor in that if the law is supposed to work, there needs to be an accurate record of interactions. The cops can't just write in a report, "Talked to a guy."
Just like the #Nazis tried to #erase #Jews from #Germany's #History, #Trump's attempt to erase #America's #LGBTQ+ population will not be successful. He can take down as many websites as he wants and erase as many #references to LGBTQ+ history and #culture that he wants but he will not be successful. ---

Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighbouring regions of the
universe, ...
Does this explain the spooky redshift stuff that seems to say we're much closer to the outer expanse than previously thought? Seems like it confuses that even more.
Because they are not, in fact, older than the universe. That is literally, definitionally impossible.
The age of objects are derrived from simplified equations that proximate real-world phenomina. They're mathematical models, not absolute facts. When an object appears to be "older than the universe", it can mean many specific things, like the acceleration of the expansion of the universe changes over time when most mathematical models do not account for that. It could mean the object is simply further away than we expect to be able to see. It could mean it's simply traveling away from us in some uniquely fast way.
Basically, it means the mathematical model used to derive how "old" the object is, is likely wrong in some way, or that the measurements taken may have inaccurate results, both of which are absolutely and wholly normal for science. Again, they're mathematical models, based on measured observation, not absolute universal truths. There are many, many, many ways data can both be gathered incorrectly or analyzed incorrectly, not even requiring anyone to make a mistake. Science at the fringe of knowledge is very difficult, and requires rigerous testing and validation before it should be trusted. NEVER trust clickbait BS, especially if it's not directly from a scientist's mouth.
We already know our mathematical models are inaccurate in several ways (see dark matter and dark energy for the obvious ones). We just need to figure out how and why they are wrong.
1) this report seems to have evidence of a void 2) redshift observation would be impacted if true 3) ge er gravitational relationships between galaxies would be kind of a huge thing considering our limited view of their

PKK Burns Weapons in Bid for Integration Into Reactionary States
Following a call from PKK leader, Abdullah Öcalan, to lay down its arms, the PKK held a disarmament ceremony in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) on July 11th.
Besê Hozat, co-chair of the KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council, led the group of 15 male and 15 female guerrillas who burned their weapons and belts.
Speaking at the historic ceremony, Besê Hozat said: “We are taking this step in response to Leader Apo’s call, the February 27 call, and the decisions of the PKK’s 12th Congress.”
Kurdish militants want to return to Turkey and enter mainstream politics, one of the PKK’s joint leaders told AFP on Friday after the group’s fighters began destroying their arms at the ceremony.
Speaking to AFP after handing in her own weapon alongside 29 of her comrades, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s top female commander Bese Hozat said if Turkey were willing, the disarmament process could be completed very quickly.
But the 47-year-old militant also warned the fragile peace process risked being derailed if Ankara fails to free the PKK’s jailed founder Abdullah Ocalan, also known as ‘Apo’ — Kurdish for ‘uncle’.
“If Apo were freed tomorrow and… Turkey made legal and constitutional arrangements the next day, within a week we could return to engage” in bourgeois state politics, she said of a process which Ankara expects to last for months.
Hozat said it was essential Turkey put in place mechanisms to allow them to return without fear of prosecution or reprisal.
“We do not want to wage armed struggle against Turkey, we want to come to Turkey and do democratic politics. In order for us… to achieve democratic integration with Turkey, it is imperative we can freely travel to Turkey,” she said.
“If Turkey takes concrete steps, enacts laws and implements radical legal reforms… we will go to Turkey and engage in politics. If (not)… we will end up either in prison or being killed.”
Asked whether she now expected Turkey and its Western allies to remove the PKK from their blacklists of terrorist organisations, Hozat said the issue was irrelevant.
“Right now, the PKK no longer exists, we’ve dissolved it. We are a freedom movement.. advocating for peace and a democratic society.
“The PKK has achieved its main goal: the existence of the Kurds has been recognised.”
The PKK dissolution represents a severe turning point for internationalist politics, as the organization that permitted revolutionary collusion in the region speed walks its way into collaborationist politics.
Democratic integration into Turkish politics is essentially an oxymoron as class politics and reactionary parties dominate the state.
Furthermore, the PKK’s posture in Syria has also drifted into collaboration as the new regime continues its massacres and clearly settles into a riole as a gendarme for US and Zionist imperial schemes. The PKK’s attempt to join this regime is damning, even if minor concessions are wrangled out in the negotations.

I discovered an anti-corpo lifehack and tbh I think its a pretty great one!
So you know those annoying "sign up for our free trial" sites that basically "forget" to notify you that you need to cancel and try to get you for like 10,000 years of subscriptions?
I found a way to counter.
I use a lot of cash purchased "nonreloadable" credit cards bc I'm trying to counterpunch with privacy, okay? Last night I was signing up for a free trial of a thing and I didn't have a disposable card avail that would cover the "post trial" cost.
So... I used one of the many leftover cards I have with like, less than five dollars on them for a "two hundred after trial" thing.
Aaaaaaand it worked.
So basically: - I used a throwaway email - I used a 'paid in cash' card to secure my trial - There's literally no way they can really charge me unless I decide I want to continue.
Obv this only works if they take gift card style credit cards (the ones I use only work for US based payment processing annoyingly) and you need to be able to like, GET one but yeah.

IA: La 2 Hemingway, la 3 L'affaire est dans le sac (les yeux), la 5 Jean Dupont. Les autres pourraient être faits à partir de templates ou de bibliothèques assez communes. En fait dans le 2, 3 et 5, on retrouve des coloris, des nuances souvent vues avec l'IA.
@jeanmichelbrioche le 1 je suis assez sûr, on a vu exactement le même style lorsqu'il y a eu la mode des "figurines sous plastique". La 4 c'est surtout le sanglier, qui a le même style (le reste, la route et la voiture, peut être pas)
Oui mais non ! J'ai demandé si c'était de l'IA, le comédien m'a assuré que non, en pointant le nom de l'artiste sur l'affiche. Mais la tête des persos est vraiment dans le style image ChatGPT
Je suis embêté pour cette affiche : j'ai l'impression que les personnages ont été fait en IAgen, mais je vois pas de détail qui confirmerai ça. Votre avis ?
Vous en pensez quoi ? Ça ressemble à de l'IA, mais j'arrive pas à pointer d'incohérences convaincantes, à part peut être les lignes discontinues soleil/ciel, ou les palmiers dans la mer.
Je trouve ça dommage de faire autant de posts sur des affiches qui méritent pas notre attention et de ne rien poster sur les excellents spectacles qui méritent et ont besoin de visibilité.
Pour ma part sur le retour je recommande très fortement Mal Élevée, un spectacle féministe très bien rôdé qui sent le vécu, la tête ailleurs, un super spectacle musical, et Illusions, une pièce sympa de carré amoureux (les triangles c'est surfait).
et ça me semble aussi important de mettre en lumière les affiches qui sont belles et-ou transmettent bien l'émotion du spectacle parce qu'elles ont eu l'attention d'un humain. Par exemple le spectacle d'impro comment on en arrive là, dont je trouve l'affiche excellente
Le cochon a sa patte gauche plus grosse que sa patte droite. la main du fermier derrière est bizarre, il manque un doigt à la main gauche. Le coq à deux doigts à la patte droite, les yeux de la vache sont pas raccord. Les tuiles du toit sont... bizarres. Bref pas de doutes.
