They expect us to swallow this sudden “transparency” like it’s honesty—when it’s just the latest PR diaper strapped to a man who’s been leaking lies since the ‘70s.
And why now?
Because they thought they could “pivot.”

After a pre-game chat, Gemini swung from being confident to admitting it would ‘struggle immensely’ against the ancient console.Mark Tyson (Tom's Hardware)
'Gemini must have then thought a bit deeper about what exactly would be involved in the chess challenge, and admitted to Caruso that it had been hallucinating regarding the magnitude of its abilities. It added that it now felt that it would “struggle immensely” in a match against the Atari 2600.'

My father is 84 years old. He had leukemia and then came double-lung pneumonia. He was so close to death, the doctors discharged him to hospice with only a week or two to live. But I wasn’t ready to let go. And more importantly ~ neither was he. I was with him every day. I brought herbs. Green

Black: It represents mourning and sadness over the injustice and persecution suffered by the Palestinian people. It symbolizes the darkness that surrounds the homeland and the silence that prevails over children's laughter;
White: Symbolizes peace and love, echoing the messages of the prophets. It reflects the desire for hearts free of hatred, as opposed to enemies who carry only malice;
Green: It represents goodness, growth, blessings, and hope for the future. It symbolizes Palestine's potential for prosperity and flourishing, with the expectation that the barren land will once again become fertile and joyful;
Red: signifies martyrdom, sacrifice and devotion. It is associated with the honor of giving one's life in defense of religion, family and country.

Theme song for when a British gentleman, accompanied by a Polish lady knight, several adventurous treasure hunters, and a few local Chinamen must slay the ravenous and evil dragon spirit of Gluttony, the final boss to his expedition to China. (Chinamen must learn to be gluttonous not for food but for opium and the other wonderous medical concoctions that His Majesty is delighted to sell to his new yellow friends at totally reasonable market prices. And they must learn this lesson by force, if need be. Indeed, the lesser yellow man often can understand no language BUT force! (Turns out knights are just as good at slaying eastern dragons as they are western. Even the girl knights seem to do almost half as decent as the men.))

„Die Wirklichkeit sieht inzwischen so aus, dass den Bürgern #Freiheiten entzogen und #Grundrechte nicht mehr wirksam ausgeübt werden. (…)
#Grundrechte werden unter den Vorbehalt eines ideologischen #Klimaschutzes gestellt, und der #Staat maßt sich an, diese #Grundrechte 'zuzuteilen'.
Die Wirklichkeit sieht also so aus, dass die Regierenden sich über #Recht und #Gesetz hinwegsetzen, sei es bei der #Finanzpolitik, der #Klimapolitik, bei 'Rettungsschirmen' oder bei der Instrumentalisierung des Verfassungsschutzes zur politischen #Feindbekämpfung.
Sie lassen zu, dass es gesellschaftliche Gruppen gibt, die aus ideologischen Gründen das Recht brechen und andere Bürger politisch verfolgen.
Die Wirklichkeit sieht auch so aus, dass die #Demokratie in hohem Maße gefährdet ist, wenn einzelne Parteien für sich in Anspruch nehmen, dass nur sie demokratisch sind und dass diejenigen, die diese Positionen ablehnen, als #Rechtspopulisten und #Faschisten diffamiert und bekämpft werden.“

On July 17, 2025, the Russian State Duma passed a new law (Article 13.53) that makes it illegal to deliberately search for or access online content listed in the official Federal List of Extremist Materials, which includes Pussy Riot audiovisuals from their actions. Pussy Riot’s inclusion in this law demonstrates how artistic and political protest is equated with extremism.

Today in Labor History July 18, 1934: “The American Mercury” accepted Emma Goldman's article, "Communism: Bolshevist & Anarchist, A Comparison.” However, it was not until a year later that it was published, in a truncated form, as "There is No Communism in Russia." Goldman had been deported by the U.S. in 1919, during the Palmer raids, and sent to Russia, where she lived with her comrade, Alexander Berkman, for several years. She was initially supportive of the Bolsheviks, until Trotsky brutally crushed the Kronstadt rebellion, in 1921, slaughtering over 1,000 sailors and then executing over a thousand more. After this, she left the USSR and, in 1923, published a book about her experiences, “My Disillusionment in Russia.” H.L. Menken founded “The American Mercury,” in 1924, and published radical writers throughout the 1920s and ‘30s. A change of ownership in the 1940s led to a shift to the far right, including virulently antisemitic articles.

1462 responses.
57% KDE Plasma.

I chuckle when I compare that against the hundreds of comments I get about how "everyone hates GNOME" every time I show it.
I chuckle because apparently a lot of you would use it if it were one of only two options.
