@Zennagain I haven't, I should check that show out more. I get a little frustrated with Taibbi because he is so careful, which is a good thing, but c'mon man, speculate some!
He winds Walter up and let's him go. Matt's vocal cry drives me crazy. He does admit that he stinks at predictions. Maybe that's why he won't speculate? Both very well read and knowledgeable for sure.
@Zennagain I do have a ron of respect for Matt, like Scott Horton, I give them a pass for not being "conspiracy oriented" enough because they do such great work and are a big net positive.
Nobody is perfect. I'm taking a break from Barnes and Baris. They are screaming about Epstein and patting themselves on the backs for preventing WW3. 🤮
A growing movement is calling on Illinois to divest $100 million in Israel Bonds, and has filed an ethics complaint against Treasurer Michael Frerichs, alleging abuse of authority, corruption, improper use of state time, and misuse of public assets.
A Colorado man accused of attempting to kidnap an 11-year-old boy will no longer face charges after being found “mentally incompetent to stand trial,” according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office (DA).
Solomon Galligan, 33, was charged with attempted kidnapping in April 2024 after allegedly trying to nab the child during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora.
A man accused of attempting to kidnap an 11-year-old boy will no longer face charges after being found "mentally incompetent to stand trial," the DA said.
As I reported on X on Sunday, it appears Attorney General Pamela Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino have agreed to a truce. Bongino was prepared to imminently resign over Bondi’s botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter; President Trump told reporters on Sunday he had spoken with Bongino and indicated his longtime friend was “in good shape” without any plans to depart soon.
The hollowing out of the 100,000+ workforce of the Department of Justice is drowned out by a cacophony of discord, demands, and empty promises over the "Epstein files."
(1/2) Genuinely the most thought-provoking thing I've read from @pluralistic who regularly blows my mind, so this is saying a lot.
I naively thought of FOSS as building a "commons." A functional alternative to property-expansionism. Not that I knew there weren't exceptions, but I never fully appreciated the existing tensions because...well FOSS seems like a commons.
But how and why you build something is as important as what you build. That's what determines function.
(2/2) A kind of similar tension exists in market capitalism, actually. I just wrote about it.
Perhaps this is just a microcosm of that. Just as open source introduces the risk of "strategic openness" or actors who instrumentally leverage open source for their own ends. Capitalist property rights allow companies to do something similar.
This "enclosure" of value and information via (mis)use of property rights makes markets functionally worse over time.

The nearly **200 pages of Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 grand jury documents from Florida** were released by a Florida judge in early 2024, shedding new light on Epstein’s crimes and the lenient plea deal he received despite graphic testimony of sexual abuse[1][2]. These documents include firsthand victim accounts, details on payments to underage girls, and evidence of how Epstein recruited and abused teenage girls as young as 14 at his Palm Beach mansion[2].
### Link to the released documents The documents are publicly viewable online through Florida court records and news outlets that have published them, such as the Florida Politics website, which hosts over 150 pages of grand jury transcripts related to Epstein’s 2006 investigation[10].
### Top 10 interesting details from the 2008 Epstein documents:
| Detail | Description | |--------|-------------| | **1. Graphic Victim Testimony** | Victims testified in detail about being raped and sexually abused by Epstein, some as young as 14 years old[2]. | | **2. Payments to Victims** | Documents reveal Epstein paid underage girls for sex and to recruit other girls for him[1][2]. | | **3. Lenient Plea Deal** | Despite the severity of the crimes, Epstein avoided federal charges and served only 13 months in a county jail with work release privileges[1][2]. | | **4. Extensive Network** | Epstein’s contacts included powerful figures in business, politics, and royalty, though no direct criminal involvement of these figures is confirmed in these documents[1][3][5]. | | **5. List of Masseuses** | Epstein kept a list of 254 masseuses, many underage, some of whom were pressured into sexual acts[4]. | | **6. Physical Evidence** | FBI seized items including sex toys, restraints, and massage tables from Epstein’s properties[4]. | | **7. Grand Jury’s Shock** | The judge who ordered the release described the testimony as “outrageous” and “disgusting,” highlighting the state’s controversial leniency[1][2]. | | **8. Victims’ Lawsuits** | The documents include testimonies from lawsuits filed by survivors who challenged the plea deal as too lenient and violating their rights[3]. | | **9. Connection to Ghislaine Maxwell** | Maxwell’s role as Epstein’s accomplice is detailed in related cases and documents, with her now serving a prison sentence[1][3]. | | **10. Public Outrage and Legal Reform** | The release followed new Florida laws allowing disclosure of grand jury documents and increased public demand for accountability[1]. |
These documents provide a rare, detailed glimpse into Epstein’s criminal activities and the systemic failures that allowed him to evade harsher punishment for years. The release has fueled ongoing investigations and calls for justice for his victims[1][2][3].
If you want to read the documents yourself, the Florida Politics site and other news outlets have made the transcripts accessible online[10].
Excluding Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Donald Trump, the released 2008 Florida court documents and related lawsuits name several other individuals who have been sued or publicly implicated in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking network. Here are the top names outside of those three, based on court filings and unsealed records:
### Top 10 names (excluding Epstein, Maxwell, Trump) being sued or implicated:
| Name | Context/Details | |-------|-----------------| | **Haley Robson** | Named as a defendant in a 2008 lawsuit alongside Epstein, accused of conspiring to recruit and lure victims for sexual abuse[1]. | | **Sarah Kellen** | Also named in the same 2008 lawsuit as Robson, alleged to have helped facilitate Epstein’s trafficking operation[1]. | | **Jean-Luc Brunel** | French modeling agent accused of supplying underage girls to Epstein; faced lawsuits and died during trial for sex trafficking charges[3]. | | **Richard Barnett** | Mentioned in court filings as having received legal documents; connected to Epstein’s legal defense or network but not criminally charged[2]. | | **Tiffany Doe (pseudonym)** | A witness or victim referenced in court documents who provided testimony about abuse witnessed at Epstein’s events[3]. | | **Unnamed “John Does”** | Numerous unidentified defendants named in lawsuits, representing individuals alleged to be part of Epstein’s network or conspirators[5]. | | **Roy Black** | Epstein’s defense attorney, named in some victim lawsuits alleging complicity or enabling, though not criminally charged[3]. | | **Alexander Acosta** | Former U.S. Attorney who approved Epstein’s controversial plea deal; named in public criticism and legal scrutiny though not sued directly[5]. | | **Various unnamed “high-profile guests”** | Court documents mention powerful guests at Epstein’s properties, but many remain unnamed due to privacy or lack of charges[4][8]. | | **Jane Does (multiple plaintiffs)** | Numerous victims who filed lawsuits under pseudonyms, naming various individuals involved in the trafficking conspiracy[1][5]. |
### Summary - **Haley Robson and Sarah Kellen** are the most prominent named co-defendants in 2008 lawsuits alleging active participation in recruiting and facilitating abuse. - **Jean-Luc Brunel** is the most notable associate outside Epstein/Maxwell publicly sued and linked to trafficking. - Many other individuals remain unnamed or pseudonymous (“John Does”) in the documents due to ongoing investigations and privacy protections. - Some figures like **Roy Black** and **Alexander Acosta** appear in legal or public scrutiny contexts but are not formally defendants in abuse lawsuits.
These names come directly from the 2008 Florida court filings and subsequent unsealed records related to Epstein’s trafficking ring, reflecting those legally implicated or sued beyond the most famous figures.
If you want to explore the full court documents, the 2008 lawsuits filed in Florida are publicly available through the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida records[1][2].
Headed out to pick up my new bike, but it turns out that it was too big for me, so I returned it and had to buy a new one which cost $500 more. The bike that I had purchased was last years model and they were sold out of my size.
I've had one as my main bike for over a year. I'm not sure what your needs are but here are my thoughts: * It's generally well suited for everyday city life. I rode mine through the winter and never washed it. The belt doesnt care. * The gear range is great unless you have steep hills. * Weirdly, the fork doesn't have the mounting hole at the bottom for a fender, but it does have one at the top. I use their recommended fenders with the Velcro straps and they've been great. * Be sure to practice taking the wheels off. The gear cable attaches at the back in a weird way and you have to disconnect that to take the wheel off. Make sure you know how to do it. * The hub really doesn't want you to peddle while you shift. If you do, it will feel like you shifted just fine and then a few seconds later your drivetrain will jolt as it actually gets into where it's supposed it. * They say you can't use a front rack but it has all the mounting points for one. I suspect this is because tightening a bolt too hard on the carbon fork crown could cause safety issues. I have a rack there anyway and it's been fine. * The hub has a sprag clutch which means it doesn't click. It's truly silent while pedaling and coasting. * The rear sprocket is a Gates Surefit. This requires a special tool to take on and off. I had to buy one off Italian eBay. Your bike shop almost certainly won't have one. * The bike is pretty heavy. Not that big a deal for most things but it is what it is. * I've changed the oil once but otherwise never messed with the drivetrain. It's very low maintenance

So fucking tired and angry with BBC and Labour Party bullshit about Palestine, and everything else too
Today's report critcizes the production company for not "disclosing" that the 13 year old narrator was the son of a "Hamas official", while acknowledging that not one word of what the child said was influenced by this relationship.
Labour Oberlieutenant Lisa Nandy refers to this as "a serious of catastrophic failures"
I have no idea role this kids father has/had but given that Hamas we’re democratically elected to run the Gaza administration he could be a bog standard civil servant/council worker in charge of parks or roads or something. Technically, wouldn’t anyone working for the local governing body there be considered a “Hamas official”?
Not every child even knows what their parent does. A document of life in Palestine from a child’s eyes reveals how they see the now, the future, and shows the human perspective no holds barred. Leave it to the audience to interpret - clearly the fear is just how much more anger people will feel against the Israeli government if they show the true horrors being faced every day there by ordinary people.

211 milliards d’euros par an, un des plus gros budget de l’État, impossible de revenir dessus… mais quel service public est-il si gigantesque ? Ces 211 milliards d’euros par an représentent les aides aux entreprises ! C’est le résultat de la commission d’enquête sur les aides publiques aux entreprises au Sénat. Les sénateurs se sont d’abord confrontés à une grosse opacité autour des aides aux entreprises : “la lobbyiste Agnès Verdier-Molinié a avancé au doigt mouillé l’estimation de 28 milliards d’euros, le ministre de l’Économie, Éric Lombard, lançait lui 150 milliards”, raconte l’Humanité. Au final, elles englobent les aides budgétaires, fiscales, et les exonérations de cotisations patronales. Le groupe CRCE-K au Sénat revendique que les aides soient transparentes et surtout que “l’argent public ne soit pas reversé aux actionnaires”, c’est à dire que les aides servent à l’investissement et aux emplois plutôt qu’à faire fructifier une entreprise déjà rentable, qui ensuite va délocaliser ; on connaît bien le schéma ici. Le groupe CRCE-K propose que les aides soient évaluées pour savoir comment elles sont utilisées. Le problème ce ne sont pas les aides mais à qui et à quoi elles servent, analysent Thomas Porcher et Lisa Lap. En effet, quand d’un côté l’État tente d’aller chercher quelques milliards sur les chômeurs, retraités, malades ou pauvres ; de l’autre, les grandes entreprises reçoivent de l’argent public sans contrepartie, et se permettent même d’augmenter leurs dividendes ou faire des plans de licenciement. “Ces entreprises n’ont pas besoin de l’argent public”, affirme l’économiste.
Après 1 an et demi où Javier Milei est au pouvoir en Argentine, le leader d’extrême droite ultra libéral a-t-il sauvé le pays comme il le prétendait ? Non, et ce sont les argentins qui en pâtissent.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – As Israel’s brutal campaign in Gaza escalates, church leaders warn that coordinated settler attacks are driving Palestinians from their lands and erasing Christian heritage in the West Bank.
Viendo las mierdas para las que se usan Telegram ya me estoy pensando seriamente deshacerme de él, pero sin Telegram y sin Watsapp (que no tengo) lo siguiente ya es comunicarme por tam tam o señales de humo.
@disisdeguey Tengo Signal pero lo tienen un total de 0 de mis contactos, la verdad no sé ni para qué la tengo instalada…. Y si no tengo a nadie en Signal imagínate en DeltaChat…
Buenas, en mi caso tengo los contactos que necesit9 y punto. Que igual en WA teníamos toda la agenda y tampoco hacía falta 😁 Básicamente hable con los contactos con los que tengo más "contacto" y a los nuevos les digo que sólo tengo Signal y si no pueden llamarme. Y mira, de momento funciona.
New update from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition striving to with civilian ship break Israel's illegal siege against the population of the Gaza Strip of Palestine ───── We are setting sail again. On July 13, 2025 our boat 'Handala' will depart from Siracusa, Italy to break Israel’s illegal blockade. This mission is for the children of Gaza.
Just weeks ago, Israeli forces illegally seized our boat 'Madleen' and abducted 12 unarmed civilians aboard her in international waters.
Since March, more than 6,572 Palestinians have been killed, over 23,000 injured, and hundreds shot while waiting for food. The children of Gaza now face famine, disease, and trauma few of us can imagine.
We are not governments. We are people taking action where institutions have failed. We are not backing down. 🇵🇸 ─────
More information later also posted on their website, on that "The Freedom Flotilla is Setting Sail Again Handala will sail to break the blockade—for the children of Gaza" freedomflotilla.org/2025/07/07…
"Today, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announces that Handala, our civilian aid boat, has officially set sail from Siracusa, Italy and begun its journey to Gaza" freedomflotilla.org/2025/07/13…
Freedom Flotilla Coalition: ───── At 70 years old, Vigdis Bjorvand from Norway is sailing to Gaza aboard 'Handala' to help break Israel's illegal siege - a journey she's been waiting for for years. A Palestine activist since 1978, Vigdis says she never wants her grandchild to say, “Grandma, you didn’t do anything.”
She first joined 'Handala' in 2023, which did not manage to sail to Gaza, and tried again with 'Conscience' earlier this year. Now, she’s back on board, determined to deliver aid, medicine and solidarity to Palestinians in Gaza.
As governments remain silent, Vigdis stands with the Palestinian people. Keep Vigdis safe. Keep 'Handala' safe. And help end Israel's illegal siege and genocide of Gaza. ─────
Freedom Flotilla Coalition: ───── Bob Suberi, a U.S. and Israeli citizen and veteran, calls himself a “recovering Zionist.” Now in his third year attempting to help break Israel's illegal siege of Gaza on 'Handala', he’s taking direct action once again. After years working in Palestinian solidarity in the West Bank, Suberi is urging others, especially in the Jewish community, to speak out: “Let’s talk openly about a genocide. We’ve spent decades saying ‘Never again,’ and yet we’re justifying it.” ─────
I really wonder who will say what. I found many high end cloths. Dresses too, but my gf has "thoughts". And then she picks her nose in bar. Whatever. The jeans I found were as new. Why did she/he throw that out? Bc of FATness? 60°C, one hour. If it survives, it is clean. If not, waste. Investment: 2kWh and 30L of water. I found a 100% merino sweater with a tiny rip. A really tiny rip. Wtf. 60°, 1h. It survived. And bc of the hardness of the water it feels like new.
I am accused of 'supporting terrorism' for advocating for peace. But the real terror supporters sit in the Netanyahu government, waging a war of annihilation in Gaza legitimized by the international community and by President Trump
@scottdhansen 2. On the plus side they keep each other pretty busy most of the time. On the minus side they do twice the damage and training 2 is challenging.

... except MacOS 26 and the other Version 26 operating systems are slowly merging too. Easier given that everything is on Apple Silicon variants these days.
The reason why I have a Pixel phone, but Macs at home is that I despise iOS. Things that I need to do on my phone need at least one if not two apps to do in iOS, whereas on Android it's the simple "click" and done.
