Die Polizei nutzt immer รถfter Staatstrojaner. Im Jahr 2023 durfte sie 130 Mal Gerรคte hacken und ausspionieren, 68 Mal war sie damit erfolgreich. Das ist eine Verdopplung innerhalb von zwei Jahren. Das geht aus der offiziellen Justizstatistik hervor. Justizstatistik 2023: Polizei hackt alle fรผnf Tage mit Staatstrojanern
The comments of Ramirez have clearly struck a nerve on both sides. For my part, I am very proud of both my Irish-Sicilian background. My Sicilian grandparents came to this country at the turn of the century. They were deeply proud of their heritage but always insisted that their children identify as Americans first and foremost.

This is really interesting, but also quite a big deal because it means if you care enough to do ANY kind of honest research, you're really likely to just bang into undiscovered things by accident, because the whole scientific community is chasing their tails so nobody is really asking any questions (except of course "how do I get published")...

Microsoft's AI-fueled 4 trillion valuation highlights the massive impact of the AI bubble on the US economy. AI investments are now acting as a private sector stimulus, contributing more to US economic growth than consumer spending. However, a clear and sustainable business model remains elusive. In many ways, the current AI boom mirrors the dynamics of the dot-com era.
I know you don't agree with my anti-AI stance, but this kinda proves my point. If AI is a bubble (it is), then the market pushes for AI in everything, and everything dependent on AI will cause an economic bloodbath when it pops. An Anti-AI model may be the only foil against a worse outcome.
@Sh4d0w_H34rt O think it's important to separate the tech from the capitalist industry using it. Meanwhile, an economic crash was already in the works even without AI. All the bubble did was postpone what was already inevitable.
It's also informative to see how this tech is being integrated into Chinese economy for contrast.
A friend just sent me this article about losing a spouse.
"You think you're prepared. you go in with boxes and garbage bags. You tell yourself youโll be strong. You think, โItโs just stuff.โ
But then you open a drawer. And their handwriting is still on a notepad. Their scent still clings to the sleeves of that sweater you begged them to throw out every winter. Their shoes are still lined up by the door like they might be back any minute.
You find yourself sitting on the floor, holding a shirt to your face, trying to memorize a smell you know is already fading. You whisper โIโm sorryโ to objects you tuck away in boxes. You fold things neatly like youโre still trying to take care of them. You pause before tossing something out, because what if that was their favorite?
No one tells you how loud the silence is when their closet door creaks open.
No one tells you how heavy an empty coat can feel in your hands. No one tells you that cleaning out a space can shatter you all over again.
Itโs not just cleaning. Itโs letting go of little pieces you were never ready to lose. Itโs closing a drawer for the last time and feeling like youโre betraying them. Itโs packing up the life you shared, while your heart silently begs, please donโt make me.
Because deep down, youโre not just packing away their things โ
Columbia University's recent suspension and expulsion of more than 70 students for a Palestine demonstration is the latest sign the school's crackdown on activism is not simply about campus conduct, but appeasing political pressure from Washington.

Mark Mansour notes that the overt, unabashed gerrymandering proposed by Texas Republicans is designed, by their own admission, to "enhance the political efficacyโ of GOP votes.
What this is really about is enhancing the political efficacy of WHITE RURAL voters. As Mansour says, it's "a chilling disenfranchisement of millions of votersโespecially Black, Latino, and Asian Americans."
As Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman show in their important 2024 study White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy, no demographic group is so catered to politically and has so much unmerited and outsized clout as white rural voters. They write:
โNo group was ever dealt a better electoral hand than rural White Americans."
The inflated power of rural White voters confers upon them an unusual ability to force state and national governments to cater to their preferences and grievances. Herein lies the danger: precisely because they wield inflated power, rural Whitesโ increasingly tenuous commitments to democratic norms and traditions are magnified across the U.S. political system in many of the same ways their preferences have been for two centuriesโ (p. 63).
"Partisan gerrymandering is legal because the US Supreme Court declared in 2019 that it is too difficult for federal judges to ensure that congressional districts are fairly drawn. (A demonstrably false claim.)"
"Having washed its hands of voter suppression like a modern-day Pontius Pilate, the Supreme Court relinquished control of congressional districting to a patchwork of inconsistent, flawed, and (sometimes) corrupt state legislatures. Chaos ensued."
โTrump knows he canโt win the upcoming mid-term elections, so he is trying to rig them. And the way he is trying to do it is to dismantle the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as we know it. He is trying, for example to try and dismantle Hispanic and African-American opportunity districts."
Billy Begala explains how the Republican gerrymandering proposal wants to "carve up Texas like a Christmas ham," disenfranchising Black and Hispanic voters and privileging rural white ones.
At Trumpโs command, the Texas GOPโs redistricting maps strip voting power away from Black Texans and are an insult to us all โ regardless of partisan stripes.
Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson has announced that Moscow is prepared to increase collaboration with BRICS countries to combat the pressure of illegal US sanctions.

Talk about powerful: Rachel Maddow last night on how "we're beyond waiting and seeing now":

"Whether you're looking at small scale local stories or the biggest picture stories about what's happening in our country, the story is the same and it is now an undeniable thing. We have crossed a line. We are in a place we did not want to be, but we are there. The thing we were all warning about for the last few years is not coming. It is here. We are in it."
"We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country. and it sounds melodramatic to say it, i know, but just go with that for a minute, right? Think. Think in melodramatic terms. Think in cinematic terms. Imagine the cartoon level caricature of what you think a dictatorship looks like."
Reminds me of how, at my writing group last month, one of the members talked about how gross it was that there were people lining up to get autographs from Dean Cain. You know, because heโs MAGA and so the people getting the autographs were probably also pieces of shit. Iโm sure if I said anything anti-liberal theyโd kick me right out for being โpolitical.โ But that dipshit going off about Republicans? A-OK.
Transition vegane, je remplace le lait entier par le lait d'avoine barista de Oatly dans les cรฉrรฉales et j'ai trouvรฉ une glace Ben&Jerry's "Chocolate fudge brownie" vegane ! #AspirantVegan #GoVegan #Vegan
Bon, le lait d'avoine est au moins 1 euros plus cher que le lait, donc j'en prendrais moins. Et la glace fait 15 euros le kilo versus dix balles pour la version pas vegane. Passer vegane, รงa coรปte plus cher sur un paquet de truc. Surtout si on cuisine pas.
tiens, รงa y est, le rรขpรฉ vegan Nourish est arrivรฉ dans mon supermarchรฉ local. Toujours pas de vรฉgรฉtariens ni vegans dans la famille, mais c'est bon ร savoir quand on a des potes qui viennent manger. J'ai failli en prendre pour tester mais la petite a soufflรฉ en regardant le plafond ๐
TEHRAN โ Protests condemning Israelโs devastating war and deliberate starvation campaign in Gaza continue to sweep across the globe, as activists, politicians, and ordinary citizens demand an end to the violence and immediate humanitarian aid.
In 2019, the American Ayatollah (the Supreme Court) said that it was totally fine to gerrymander, as gerrymandered maps could not be reviewed by federal courts (Rucho v. Common Cause).
Now, with a slim majority, Texas Republicans are gerrymandering on racial lines to disempower voters because they cannot win elections on merits. As a result, Texas Democrats have fled the state, denying the governing body of quorum.
This is "American Democracy" failing spectacularly.
Texas Republicans are trying to redraw congressional districts to pick up five additional U.S. House seats. Democrats face financial and political risk in their bid to block the GOP plan.
The problem with having a system of governance where rigged popularity contests determine who controls the apparatus of the state is that you have a system of governance where rigged popularity contests determine who controls the apparatus of the state.
