#Israel’s #Mossad chief flew to D.C. to pitch Gaza’s ethnic cleansing plan: starve them, cage them, then deport the survivors. As Israeli journalist Gideon #Levy said, it’s a plan worthy of Adolf #Eichmann — the Nazi bureaucrat who orchestrated the Holocaust’s logistics.
@jimmybuffettfanaccount I have no idea about it but it was a gacha so I am happy it died by default. It had the "usual Danganronpa team" on it of Kodaka, Rui, and Takada but I do not think it was their baby or even run by their team. "Tribe What?" is probably the sum of its impact on the world. All I know is that it involved battling things to save Japan and baseball
@jimmybuffettfanaccount FYI Kodaka is the writer. Rui is the artist. Immediately recognizable style. Too recognizable. He is the Danganronpa guy forever now. Takada is the music man. Literally undeniably one of the all time best vidya music guys ever and he has been all over. Easily deserves to be in the same sentence as Koshiro, Yamaoka, etc.: youtu.be/aeLzkTKBdTM

The Dutch National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) has, for the first time, included #Israel on its list of foreign states that pose a threat to the #Netherlands' national security. The assessment was made in a recent report titled "Assessment of Threats from State Actors."
The report details several concerns that led to Israel's inclusion. Among these are #disinformation campaigns aimed at influencing Dutch public opinion and political decision-making. One example given is a document circulated to Dutch journalists and politicians through unofficial channels after violence caused by #Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.
The report also highlights worries about threats from Israel toward the International Criminal Court ( #ICC) in The Hague, which could potentially undermine the institution's work. Furthermore, the NCTV has previously expressed concerns about the use of Israeli spyware and surveillance tools.

Back in the olden days, Mac introduced desktop widgets that included a package tracker. I checked to see if Windows had anything similar, now 20 years later.
There *are* widgets, but you're assaulted with a feed of horrible news articles about you-know-who. Turn that off, and you're offered a small handful of sad apps. No package tracker.

Le gigantesque scandale du Russiagate continue. Les preuves de l'implication directe et active de hauts responsables du renseignement américain s'accumulent.
Pascal Clérotte
Il est fort probable qu’un certain nombre de très hauts responsables du renseignement – CIA, FBI, DHS (le département de la sécurité intérieure) – ainsi que des politiciens démocrates, Hillary Clinton en tête, finissent en prison.
Les dernières révélations de nos confrères Alex Guttentag et Michael Shellenberger ne laissent que peu de doute. Ce qu’ils rapportent provient d’une annexe classifiée du rapport de John Durham, le procureur spécial chargé d’enquêter sur les circonstances dans lesquelles le FBI a lancé « Crossfire Hurricane », l’enquête visant Donald Trump, alors candidat, puis président en exercice. Cette annexe a été découverte dans une pièce secrète des locaux du FBI, à l’intérieur d’un « burn bag », sac spécial destiné à stocker les documents sensibles avant leur incinération. Le président de la Commission sénatoriale sur le renseignement, Chuck Grassley, vient de la déclassifier. Public FBI Helped Clinton Campaign Orchestrate Russia Collusion Hoax To Distract From Email Investigation, Newly Declassified Intelligence Suggests There is no evidence, say Democrats and the media, that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence to create a false narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win. Recent document releases by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, they claim, are a “nothingburger.” Gabbard’s accusation that the Obama administration and intelligence community led a “coup” against Trump is… Read more 20 hours ago · 331 likes · 43 comments · Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag
Le Russiagate est bien un plan qui fut ourdi par la campagne d’Hillary Clinton afin, dans un premier temps, de détourner l’attention des électeurs d’un autre immense scandale, celui du serveur e-mail non-sécurisé que la candidate démocrate avait opéré de la cave de sa résidence et par lequel elle échangeait, alors qu’elle était secrétaire d’Etat, des informations et des documents classés secret défense avec des cadres du parti démocrate.
A l’origine de ce plan, on trouve Julianne Smith, ancienne conseillère d’Hillary Clinton, puis conseillère adjointe à la sécurité nationale de Joe Biden puis représentante permanente des USA à l’OTAN. Smith dispose de liens très étroit avec l’Allemagne puisqu’ayant débuté sa carrière au German Marshall Fund et émargé à la Bosch Stiftung, dans l’obscure officine Berlin Global Advisors et à l’American Academy in Berlin.

Les services de renseignement néerlandais avaient transmis en 2016 à la CIA des notes provenant des services russes qui, sur la base d'interceptions électroniques des communications de think tanks et de fondations liées au parti démocrate, révélaient l’intention de Clinton de monter une opération visant à présenter Donald Trump comme un agent du Kremlin.
Washington Is Bringing Instability to Russia and China in Central Asia
While Russia and China were asleep, Washington purchased the Armenian and Azerbaijan governments and control of the Zangezur Corridor.
The corridor runs along the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan with Iran. According to a confidential memorandum obtained by a European newspaper, the “Memorandum of Understanding on the Creation of the ‘Trump Bridge’ Transport Corridor,” Washington has gained control of this sensitive part of the word for 99 years.
RT reports that such an agreement would follow logically from the US-Armenian Strategic Partnership Charter. American contractors and advisors are already on the ground. It appears that the corridor will be militarized.
If reports are true, Russian and Chinese intelligence or political will totally failed yet again. Washington has struck a deadly three-pronged attack against Russia, China and Iran. Iran is now encircled from the north. The Zangezur Corridor, formerly an intended part of China’s Belt and Road or New Silk Road, is in Washington’s hands. Another part of former provinces of the Soviet Union has fallen under Washington’s influence. Stalin and Mao would never have allowed such a development.
The Armenian president, Nikol Pashinyan, perhaps encouraged by a bag full of dollars, has aligned with Washington and has implemented policies that seem designed to undermine the national identity of Armenia. See this.
It wasn’t that long ago that Putin had to send Russian troops to Kazakhstan to prevent a Washington-inspired Color Revolution and that Georgia’s anti-Russian government was refusing to abide by the election and release its hold on power. Kazakhstan borders China’s majority-Muslim province of Xinjiang, where Washington is actively stirring up the province.
It is clear enough that Washington is active in Central Asia stirring up trouble that it hopes will destabilize the Russian and Chinese governments and has completed the encirclement of Iran. As this development has been in the works for some time, serious questions are raised about the competence of the Russian, Chinese, and Iranian governments.
Putting these developments in wider perspective, it is clear that Washington has no intention of entering into a mutual security agreement with Putin. But apparently Putin is unable to see reality. He sees only hopes. It was a strategic blunder for Putin to allow the conflict with Ukraine to continue for so long while Washington and NATO surrounded him with trouble spots. Putin’s inability to act forcefully has brought very aggressive talk against Russia by a variety of European government ministers and generals who say they will be ready for war with Russia in 18 months. Trump has now given Putin an ultimatum to accept within 12 days a Ukrainian peace agreement that no one knows what is. No such agreement exists, and Zelensky has said he won’t sign regardless.
It was a serious mistake for Putin to have encouraged such hostility toward Russia by permitting a conflict over a few kilometers in Donbas to go on indefinitely. To be treated with respect, Russia needed to show decisive military prowess. Putin failed this test.
On the Western front, successful Ukrainian drone attacks have left 150,000 Russians in the Rostov region without power. US General Christopher Donahue, Commander of US Army Europe and Africa, has announced a NATO plan to capture Russian Kaliningrad in record short time. See this.
Will Putin still be talking about peace negotiations when Kaliningrad falls?

did you know that artwork, and also pic related, were made back in 2018 right after she started streaming? can you tell when a Mito artwork is from the beginning of her career?
Well, if an artwork had an early Mitofag meme like これがバーチャルYouTuberユーチューバーなんだよなぁ⋯, わたくしで隠かくさなきゃ, or laundry machines then I would think that it was from around 2018, and depending on her costume you could also make a guess (her 私し服ふく costume hardly gets any artworks these days) but other than that I don't know.

La #Lettonie est l'un des trois pays baltes, ceux situés à la frontière de la #Russie, tout en étant membres de l'Union européenne. Ce petit Etat conduit une politique à l'encontre de sa population de langue russe, au même titre que sa voisine, l' #Estonie (dont Kaja #Kallas était la première ministre avant de devenir l'adjointe de von der Leyen).
Ainsi la Lettonie a-t-elle institué un examen de langue lettone pour sa population russophone. Celui qui ne le réussit pas est condamné à être expulsé vers la Russie. Les russophones de Lettonie représentent tout de même un tiers de la population du pays. Ils avaient formulé un recours contre cette initiative. Il a été rejeté en février 2024 par la Cour constitutionnelle du pays. Dès lors, la machine à expulser s'est mise en route. Début 2025, 1167 habitants ont reçu leur avis d'expulsion. En juillet, 841 autres ont suivi.
Les deux tiers des expulsables sont des retraités. Ce sont des personnes qui ont toujours habité la Lettonie et qui ne parlent correctement que le russe parce qu'à l'époque de leurs études et de leur jeunesse, la Lettonie, c'était l'Union soviétique. Les actions menées par les pays baltes contre leur population de langue russe sont des violations du droit européen des minorités. Pourtant, elles se déroulent en toute impunité, et en toute discrétion. En Europe, on peut expulser des personnes âgées de leur maison, de leur région natale, pour les envoyer dans un pays qu'elles ne connaissent pas.
After voting in Mitch McConnell for so many terms, now there's this guy running for the seat. FKN Kentucky can go KenFucky itself. dailywire.com/news/republican-… Previously deleted blog posts from Morris’ time as CEO of Rubicon, a large recycling company, have come under scrutiny for their promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and Environmental Social and Governance (ESG). For example, in one post from September 2020, Morris praised a new board member of Rubicon for helping the company remain “at the forefront of the ESG movement.”
In another deleted post from June 1, 2020, Morris wrote that he was “feeling profound sadness and anger at the tragic events of recent weeks” in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
“The protests we are seeing are a manifestation of the pain and anger that so many are feeling,” he wrote. “While it is important that we understand that pain and anger, it cannot bring back the lives that have been lost or undo the past injustices that have plagued our nation for generations. That pain and anger must fuel real, measurable, and decisive action to light a better path forward.” //////// fk you man.

I need to tell you something unsatisfying: your personal consumption choices will not make a meaningful difference to the amount of enshittification you experience in your life.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
"My book on Enshittification is coming out in a couple of months, and the early reviews are already coming in, and they are gratifyingly glowing. But there's a trend in these reviews, a caveat that reviewer after reviewer has raised: my book is 'short on individual solutions.'
"You're goddamned right it is. Because this isn't an individual problem, it's a systemic one." — @pluralistic
U.S. labor activist Chris Smalls has been released from jail after being abducted by Israeli forces as part of a Gaza aid ship. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says Smalls had been assaulted by seven uniformed Israeli soldiers.
"No one is coming to save us *except* us. There is such a thing as #society, and you're a part of it, and so am I, and so are the rest of us. You can't fight #enshittification. But together, *we* can."
There is still hope, reading @pluralistic helps a little bit.

Sci-fi author Yudhanjaya Wijeratne and I are working on a script that extracts economic concepts from reviews of science fiction novels. We are interested in observing convergences: are there alternative economies that feel believable to several authors? Here is a first shot, using reviews mostly written by myself over the years. Authors reviewed include @pluralistic , @bruces @annaleen, @KarlSchroeder, Kim Stanley Robinson, and others.
