I was lucky enough to see Sabbath in its original form back in 1997 at the Birmingham NEC.
Fear Factory were supporting them that day. Oddly the arena was entirely seated, much to the consternation of Burton C Bell, who pronounced something along the lines of ‘the last time I saw seating like this was at a Neil Diamond concert’.
It was fair enough, we all stood anyway, but there was no pit. 🤣🤘
They were all on form that day though, particularly Bill. A great drummer in his day. #BlackSabbath

It's up to manufacturers to make sure "the signature database (db), revoked signatures database (dbx), and Key Enrollment Key database (KEK)" are "stored on the firmware nonvolatile RAM (NV-RAM) at manufacturing time." The manufacturer then "locks the firmware from editing, except for updates that are signed with the correct key or updates by a physically present user who is using firmware menus, then generates a platform key (PK) [...] used to sign updates to the KEK or to turn off Secure Boot."

We’re told there aren’t any Epstein files. That sounds like Fake News, but okay. How about releasing the Epstein bank payments then?
Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed:“4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.”
Let that sink in.
One account, over a billion dollars. And no one seems to know who was sending it or why.
It kind of tends to raise the question what people were paying him for. And maybe knowing what country those payments were from might give the poor, beleaguered FBI that can’t seem to find any information some idea where to look for it.

I will never forget what Israel is doing, and what the United States and Europe are not doing.
Never.
This is a genocide and everyone is just watching how millions of lives are systematically being destroyed.
I have never been so ashamed to be a German, a country that equips Israel with weapons and stands idly by.
I have never been so ashamed to be a human, a species that finds joy in murdering other species as well as its own.

"Of the dozens of policy proposals in Zohran Mamdani’s platform, few have generated as much debate as the Democratic mayoral nominee’s call for city-owned grocery stores.
"Progressives, food policy professors, and left-leaning publications have lauded the idea. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams characterized the plan as a “false promise,” while Mamdani’s opponent Andrew Cuomo dismissed the idea as a “slogan” that couldn’t come true. Gristedes owner and major Republican donor John Catsimatidis has threatened to close his stores rather than compete with subsidized city grocers.
"Both sides have largely missed a crucial point: New York already has a version of city-owned grocery stores. Namely, the six markets overseen by the city’s Economic Development Corporation, a nonprofit that manages city-owned property to boost economic development. These grocers include Essex Street Market on the Lower East Side, Moore Street Market in East Williamsburg, and others…"

Panic swept through a California school after staff spotted what they believed was a mountain lion roaming near campus grounds. The school immediately went into lockdown. Authorities were alerted. Students were secured indoors. Wildlife officials prepared for a possible capture. But when the “wild predator” was finally cornered, everyone burst into laughter. It wasn’t a mountain lion at all, it was a very large, very fluffy house cat.
Yes, that’s right. The terrifying “beast” that sparked a full emergency response turned out to be a chonky feline with a serious attitude and a suspiciously wild look. In fairness to the school staff, the cat’s orange-brown fur, stocky build, and confident prowl did give off big cat energy. But once animal control arrived and got a better look, the case of the mountain lion was quickly closed with a purr.

I give credit where credit is due regarding the fact that focus on careers creates fewer children (though not explicitly stating it is more a problem with women), as well as pushing against the idea that "we should have policies like the Scandinavian countries" as a solution to birth rate issues when those countries are also below replacement rates.
No solutions beyond "changing the culture," but we all know why that is the case.
