UN: At least 1,760 Palestinians killed while seeking aid in Gaza since May

Patel Demands Subpoenas Into Judge Merchan’s Daughter’s $15M Windfall
FBI Director Kash Patel is calling on Congress to subpoena Loren Merchan, daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, over explosive allegations that her firm, Authentic Campaigns, pocketed more than $15 million during Trump’s hush money trial.
Patel says courtroom leaks and politically motivated publicity from her father’s courtroom fueled Democratic fundraising hauls that directly enriched her company. He’s demanding bank records to prove how much of that money benefitted the Merchan family itself.
This strikes at the heart of what critics have called a blatant conflict of interest:
Judge Juan Merchan presided over Trump’s trial and delivered 34 felony convictions widely condemned as politically motivated (which is obviously was).
He previously donated to Democrats, imposed gag orders on Trump, and now stands accused of letting his courtroom become a fundraising engine for his daughter’s clients.
Loren Merchan’s firm works for Kamala Harris, Adam Schiff, and Senate Majority PAC. Schiff alone poured nearly $5 million into her firm in 2024, while his campaign raked in tens of millions after Trump’s conviction.
Back in August 2024, Rep. Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee already subpoenaed Authentic Campaigns over its ties to Democrats, citing fundraising off the Trump verdict. Patel is now demanding immediate follow-up with full financial subpoenas.
So far, Loren Merchan has stayed silent on the scandal. Meanwhile, the evidence points to Judge Merchan’s courtroom being weaponized for both political gain and family profit (something many of us have been calling from the gate).

To kind of summarize some of the recent #Bluesky drama. Yesterday Bluesky changed their Terms of Service to require binding arbitration. Users are unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it because Bluesky is not decentralized and there is no place they can go. Today, Bluesky banned a user for wishing ill of J.K. Rowling for her anti-trans hate. Users are very unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it because Bluesky is not decentralized and there is no place they can go.
Get it?

as most AI “open source” offerings are actually #openwashing, bluesky is and always was #decentrawashing
An “open” solution that doesn’t take into account OR integrate with other open solutions? Check.
A centralized-for-now system with a vaporware of an alternative, that exists *in potentia* but not actually? Check.
Pffff
sounds 1:1 like mastodon.
Have the "wrong" political viewpoint - - > ban without any chance.

Users are unhappy here too. Of course, not those, that love exactly what this network wants you to love.
"When you say THE problem is the peer review system – the peer review system in my view is doing what it was designed to do -- censor. And filter. Peer review is a system of prior censorship, prior review – prior meaning prior to publication. So the idea of abusing the peer review system sort of adds insult to injury, because the peer review system itself is injurious."

Brief Frontline Report – August 16th, 2025
Report by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.Zinderneuf (Marat Khairullin Substack)
Luigi's Mansion 3 has some fun aspects and nice touches — as just one example, the sound of the vacuum when blocked with an object is 100% bang-on.
However... it is an abomination of a video game which #Nintendo should never have allowed to see the light of day. Developed by a third-party (Next Level Games, subsequently acquired by Nintendo) and it shows because it's nowhere near Nintendo's level of care or quality.
Terrible controls, absolutely awful bosses (and I don't mean difficult, but awful design), and you'll even sometimes get softlocked until you find the one tiny detail you missed and are then allowed to proceed (with no alternative, because fuck you).
And then there's the fucking cat.
NOPE. Avoid.

The immense power requirements for data centers are a "solved problem" in China, where decades of deliberate investment have created a massive surplus of electricity. For the U.S., however, the same demand is colliding with limited energy infrastructure, forcing companies to even build their own power plants and straining a grid that only operates with a slim 15% reserve margin.

Quation for the duckduckfedi - if I wanted to replace Forgejo with something more simplified (seeing as I don't use a lot of stuff like the projects/issue boards, multiple user accounts, and so on), what are some suitable options? I'd like to keep CI/CD stuff but really not too attached to the GitHub Actions model of doing that.
Curious what's out there and realistically suitable for hosting.
you can have bare git repos on a samba server or so and then setup a woodpecker ci or jenkins.
this is very barebone, but might be a solution for you specifically.
