Turkey: Revolutionary Prisoner Turns Hunger Strike into Fast until Death
On July 31, Serkan Onur Yilmaz announced that he was transforming his hunger strike that began on November 10, 2024 into a fast until death while his health condition is critical. Started 270 days ago, this struggle aims to denounce the “well” type prisons in Turkey which are infamous for their particularly inhumane conditions of detention and their very strict solitary confinement regime. Alongside him, eight other revolutionary prisoners went on hunger strike with the same demands: Mithat Öztürk, Ali Aracı, Ayberk Demirdöğen, Fikret Akar, Ümit Çobanoğlu, Fırat Kaya, Tahsin Sağaltıcı and Gürkan Türkoğlu.

Turquie : Un prisonnier révolutionnaire transforme sa grève de la faim en jeûne jusqu’à la mort

I think I know how modern counter-propaganda works. Propaganda is so sophisticated it doesn't even boil the frog. It just keeps it warm enough to make the frog uncomfortable. So counter-propaganda just needs to tip the balance in this highly fragile state.
I often notice when the West says X as propaganda, the Chinese just say 2X. They don't try to debunk X. So if the west suddenly says it hates goblins, the Chinese say we hate goblins twice as much as the West.

Chinese scientists have developed a new high-strength cryogenic steel, CHSN01, to solve a major challenge in nuclear fusion: finding a material that can withstand both extreme cold (near absolute zero) and immense magnetic forces. After a decade of research, this new steel has been deployed in the construction of the world's first fusion power reactor, positioning China as a leader in materials science for fusion technology.

❞
The Geneva Conventions weren’t written by soft-headed humanitarians. They were negotiated by generals, and they recognized, O.K., if we allow starvation as a tactic, we’re just going to be starving civilians, not the guys doing the fighting.
This all leads to one of the most extraordinary points, which is that the G.H.F. was supposed to minimize Hamas looting. Who is eating or selling the food that they are distributing? They can’t tell. The U.N. has a pretty good idea of who was eating its food. The G.H.F. has not got a fucking clue.

I was playing with gpt-oss:20b, the new OpenAI model you can download and run yourself.
Thought I would do a quick experiment, ask it the same question about two different groups.
You don't have to read the whole thing. Just look at how much work the AI has to do to not say something insensitive about black people, vs how it treats white people.
Now imagine how much computer time this is wasting, just to give you a less-correct answer.

The "K-shape" economy is back. It's one of the most important charts to understand the state of the economy.
The wealthy are still spending, although there has been some moderation. Meanwhile the bottom 80% are tapped out. Their spending is basically in line w/inflation.
Whether the US ends up in a recession will depend almost entirely on whether the top 10 to 20% of earners keep spending.

I have definitely purged. Moving makes you decide if you really want to carry some crap around.
Ho hum: I sent my walking boots off to be resoled the other day, just had a phone call saying that they need more work than I expected (meaning it’ll be less than £100 less than the cost of a new pair), and the membrane (which they can’t fix) is wearing thin around the big toe: “How often do you get wet feet?”
To which the answer is “never”, but the question suggests I will be soon. That plus a ten week lead time before they get to the top of the pile, and I’ve just ordered a new pair and told him to stick them in the recycling bin.

_Texas Redistricting Exposes Democrat Hypocrisy_
"When the Texas House Democrats bolted from Austin in earlier this month, they did so with the swagger of martyrs. They cast their self-imposed exile as a noble stand against injustice, a heroic resistance to gerrymandering. But like most political theatre, the drama was better lit than written. What these Democrats inadvertently illuminated was not Republican overreach but their own decades-long monopoly on congressional cartography in the states they dominate. In trying to indict Texas, they put their own crimes on trial."
