France’s recognition of a Palestinian state won’t stop Israel’s onslaught | Hussein Agha and Robert Malley theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #MiddleEastandnorthAfrica #Palestinianterritories #Israel-Gazawar #Worldnews #France #Europe #UKnews #Gaza

"More than half of global mining projects for “energy transition” minerals are located on or near Indigenous territories. Indigenous advocates argue the world can’t solve climate change—a problem caused by extractivism—with more extractivism."

But, say the European middle class environmentalists, your pain is not real, your ecocide is not real. Because oil is a much bigger ecocide, your ecocide will save the rest of us.

It won't. We're pumping more oil than ever.

"As the world watches Gaza starve, Republicans in Congress quietly advanced a new ban on funding a United Nations agency that delivers food aid to Palestinians.

The GOP-dominated House Appropriations Committee last week voted to bar financial support for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, long the main hub of aid distribution in Gaza.

If passed by Congress, the ban would reinforce a financial blockade on UNRWA that began last year as Israel subjected the agency to an intense pressure campaign.

The latest move, however, comes amid an increasingly dire situation, as U.N. experts decried a full-fledged famine, and other Western countries are holding emergency meetings to address the crisis.

The timing of the latest proposed ban dismayed observers who have sought to increase the flow of aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

“It seems incredibly hypocritical to suddenly be shocked by these images when every humanitarian agency has said no one can replace UNRWA,” said Yara Asi, an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida’s School of Global Health Management and Informatics."

Europas Ende: Ein Deal der Oligarchen – bezahlt von uns allen 1/3

Während die USA unter Trump autoritärer, kriegstreibender und faschistischer werden, hätten Europas Machthaber – von der Leyen voran – unsere Unabhängigkeit schützen müssen.

Doch sie haben das Gegenteil getan.
Statt Europa von der wachsenden Abhängigkeit zu befreien, haben die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Eliten der EU uns in milliardenschwere Verpflichtungen gegenüber den USA gezwungen – auf Jahre hinaus.

📉 Der Deal im Überblick:

🔻 750 Milliarden Dollar für Öl, Gas, Nuklearbrennstoff und Halbleiter
→ Bezahlt mit dem Geld unserer Zentralbank – verschärft die Klimakrise und unsere Abhängigkeit
→ Allen voran: US-Flüssiggas zum Höchstpreis

🔻 600 Milliarden Dollar an EU-Investitionen in den USA
→ Kein Nutzen für europäische Gesellschaften – nur Geld für die Wall Street-Milliardäre

in reply to MERA25

🔻 Milliardenschwere Käufe von US-Militärtechnologie 2/3

→ Statt Schulen, Wohnungen und Klimaschutz: Panzer, Bomben und Profite für Raytheon & Co.
→ Die EU macht Europa zum Zahlmeister für Kriege im Interesse eines imperialen Aggressors – der USA
Wenn Europa je versucht, sich zu befreien, drohen neue Strafzölle.

Diese Vereinbarung ist kein Handelsabkommen – sie ist Erpressung.

Die #EU verurteilt Russland für die Invasion der Ukraine – zu Recht.
Aber sie belohnt gleichzeitig Trumps Faschismus, seine Verachtung für Völkerrecht, und seine Unterstützung des Genozids in Gaza mit hunderten Milliarden.

Plötzlich spielen #Menschenrechte keine Rolle mehr, wenn es um unsere „Partner“ geht.

in reply to MERA25

📣 Was wir hier sehen, ist ein System der Auslieferung.

Nicht im Interesse der Menschen – sondern im Interesse transatlantischer Konzerne, Waffenindustrie und politischer Eliten.

Die Kosten:

– Mehr soziale Kürzungen in Europa
– Mehr Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien
– Mehr Aufrüstung statt Klimaschutz
– Mehr geopolitischer Gehorsam statt demokratischer Kontrolle

MERA25 fordert Europäische Unabhängigkeit
Europa muss sich von den USA befreien – ökonomisch, politisch, militärisch.
Für eine souveräne, friedliche und gerechte Zukunft. Nicht als Kolonie, sondern als echte Demokratie.

Lety Does Drinking Horchata de Tacos Los Poblanos


Came back to the Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor to refilm part of another video, and I decided to get some lunch while I'm at it! Didn't film me stuffing my face with tacos, but I did get this cool drink that apparently not everyone knows about? Which is wild to me, given how ubiquitous it is in LA and Mexico.

I'm in South Central for the grand opening of the Rail to Rail Active Transportation Corridor! Kinda. Didn't really vlog that cause it was kinda dull. Also didn't get a chance to bike around much cause it was so busy. I have no idea what the point of this video is really, but I'm excited so here we are.

Israel Apologists Support Genocide; Of Course They're Fine With Lying

Israel apologists use language the same way malignant narcissists do. It’s never to communicate or connect or find out what’s true, it’s always to manipulate and get things they want.

I was just leaving for work this morning when I noticed a large bird in my rearview cam.

I get out and it’s a hawk that notices me and flies off with something in its talons.

All I could get a pic of was the aftermath. Looks like he just had a Mockingbird breakfast. Bird on bird crime out here in this heat, yall 🕊️🦅

US consumers are piling into credit card debt like never before with the the total credit card debt having just hit a record $1.1 trillion, up $363B since 2021. That's $7.3B a month. Worse, "Buy Now, Pay Later" schemes, which are projected at $117B this year, aren’t even counted.

Americans are "fighting" inflation with credit card debt.

#Trump über #Windenergie: „Das Ganze ist ein Betrug”


Beim Treffen zum Zoll-Deal mit EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der #Leyen ließ Donald #Trump kaum Zweifel an seiner Haltung zur #Windkraft: Für den US-Präsidenten ist sie nichts weiter als ein einziger Betrug – schädlich für die Natur, wirtschaftlich ein #Verlustgeschäft.

13. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Romans 2:13

Paul's letter is to Jews and Gentiles in Rome. There is no partiality of persons with God. Rabbis taught that God would judge Jews differently than Gentiles.
All will be judged by their sin, unless they obey Christ.
Today's verse is clear: if you hear the word of God but it does not change you, you are headed for destruction.
It is those that hear the word of God and do as it says.
Matthew 7:21, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
If we refuse:
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Help us, Lord Jesus, to obey and live for You. Amen.

Let's fund our Police, train them well and mandate that they target criminals that go after our children.

Let's fund education for all parents on how to responsibly guide, support and protect our children in a digital age.

Let's leave the internet a free and open place for all.

Let parents parent.
Let Police do police work.

Just got asked to sign an open letter to OpenAI asking for transparency on their announced restructuring. You’ll hear about it soon enough, no doubt, given some “big names” are attached to it.

While I agree with the premise of the letter, there’s no way I can sign it after seeing the level of cluelessness and perpetuation of harmful assumptions regurgitated in it. It’s depressing to see those supposedly pushing back against Big Tech’s AI grift having themselves accepted the core myths of this bullshit.

It starts:

“We write to you as the legal beneficiaries of your charitable mission.”

What charitable mission? Are you idiots? You’re talking to a ~$4B organisation.

“Your current structure includes important safeguards designed to ensure your technology serves humanity rather than merely generating profit…”

Oh, really, that’s news to me. I guess I must be missing how their current bullshit serves humanity.

“However, you have proposed a significant corporate restructuring that appears to weaken or eliminate many of these protections, and the public deserves to know the details.”

Ah, so they’re removing the smoke and mirrors, is that it?

Then a bunch of questions, including:

“Does OpenAI plan to commercialize AGI once developed?”

You do understand that there is NO path that leads from today’s mass bullshit factories that are LLMs to AGI, right? None. Zero. Nada. You’re playing right into their hands by taking this as given.

“We believe your response will help restore trust and establish whether OpenAI remains committed to its founding principles, or whether it is prioritizing private interests over its public mission.”

What trust? You trusted these assholes to begin with why exactly? Was it the asshat billionaire founder? How bloody naïve can you be?

“The stakes could not be higher. The decisions you make about governance, profit distribution, and accountability will shape not only OpenAI's future but also the future of society at large.”

Please, sirs, be kind.

No, fuck you. Why are we pleading? Burn this shit to the ground and dance on its smoldering remains.

“We look forward to your response and to working together to ensure AGI truly benefits everyone.”

🤦‍♂️

Yeah, no, I won’t be signing this. If this is what “resistance” looks like, we’re well and truly fucked.

How old is that letter?

I remember reading a year or so ago that OpenAI used to have a charitable charter, but after their boss provoked being ousted to then have shareholders insist he be brought back in and then cleaned house, I remember hearing that these rules in the charter would get removed.

I'm presuming they're of the impression that these clauses are still valid, or the removal took its way to wind through some bureaucracy and they're now trying to stop it one last time.

Oprah Winfrey is facing online backlash following a tsunami warning in Hawaii, where residents are accusing her of not opening a private road in Maui. Following an 8.7-magnitude earthquake near Russia, tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific. This prompted thousands of Maui residents to evacuate the area, causing traffic jams.

The backlash follows an 8.7-magnitude earthquake near Russia, which triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, including in Hawaii. As thousands of people rushed to flee low-lying areas and move to higher ground, videos began circulating online showing massive traffic congestion throughout parts of Hawaii, particularly on Maui.

Amid the escalating evacuation crisis, several social media users accused Winfrey of refusing to allow public access to her private road. They argued that doing so could have helped ease traffic and expedite evacuations. As images and footage of jammed highways continue to spread online, the criticism against Winfrey has intensified.

One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “If people die while you’re guarding your private road like it’s treasure, that blood is on your hands. Lives matter more than luxury. Open the damn road, Oprah. This is survival, not a red carpet event.”

Many critics insist that the private route could have significantly improved conditions during the ongoing crisis.

As of now, Winfrey has not issued any public comment regarding the situation..."

thanks for sharing these helpful insights!

It’s not just about the unit itself, but also about who installs it. This post definitely helped me understand what to look for in both for more details visit : coolairxpert.com/ac-installati…

Also a random thing I said back on Gab that bears repeating. I don't think I could do public marches, if I joined Patriot Front and some red was shoving me and yelling in my face I'm not sure I could resist recreating a certain marvel scene lol, that's not me being edgy either, I'm pointing out a limitation of mine, I'm bad with anger and thus I don't think I could deal with these sorts in that situation as it were, hence another reason I'm not sure I'd want to join an active club

I'm not trying to be edgy here FWIW, I'm being 100% genuine, I don't think I could handle the situation so I don't want to deal with it if I don't have to (Note I'm not saying that if SHTF happens I wouldn't do anything there, Completely different situation).
