Dear BITCHES reporting this photo for AI slop and animal cruelty reasons. These are real, actual, living, fucking fish at the beach by my house.
โFuckingโ is not a grammatical intensifier here, these fish are literally FUCKING. They are not only alive, they are MATING and having the TIME OF THEIR LIVES.
I'd respond this to each and every BITCH replying and DMing me about this personally, but I can't as they also BLOCKED ME.
I am clarifying this last bit to make clear that I'm not calling anyone BITCHES for not knowing how California grunion mate or for not knowing how to read alt text.
I'm calling people BITCHES for assuming the absolute worst of me, saying shitty things in my DMs and replies, and then blocking me.
I'm trying very hard not to be too offended by this but I feel accused of some borderline sociopathic behavior shit
Like it's plausible that I typed out, โHey ChatGPT, can you please generate an image of me holding the Mastodon stuffed toy on a beach during midnight in front of just, a metric fuck ton of dimly lit dead fish. Just every fishy corpse you can conjure up, you know. For the shock value of it.โ
The first thing I did after seeing your post was look up grunions and grunion runs because Iโve never heard of either. Then I thought โOh, so thatโs what Iโm looking at. Cool.โ
Or, a quote that I never seem to remember comes from a cheesy SciFi movie with Will Smith in it: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
Finally, super mad props for fitting the word "fucking" as a grammatically and syntactically accurate use of the word while double-dipping as an expletive.
Deliberately friend-sized and friend-shaped, with a soft surface material and soft, squishy stuffing, the toy is perfect as a travel companion you can rest your head on, or to fill in for you at business meetings.

Harry Haywood: The Crusader called for an alliance with the Bolsheviks against race prejudice. In 1921, the magazine made its clearest formulation, linking the struggles of Blacks and other oppressed nations with socialism: 'surest and quickest way, then, in our opinion, to achieve the salvation of the Negro is to combine the two most likely and feasible propositions, viz.: salvation for all Negroes through the establishment of a strong, stable, independent Negro State (along the lines of our own race genius) in Africa and elsewhere: and salvation for all Negroes (as well as other oppressed people) through the establishment of a Universal Socialist Co-operative commonwealth. wordsmith.social/protestation/โฆ

Haskell County, Kansas, is the first recorded instance anywhere in the world of an outbreak of influenza so unusual that a physician warned public health officials. It remains the first recorded instance suggesting that a new virus was adapting, violently, to man. The 1918โ1919 influenza pandemic killed more people than any other outbreak of disease in human history. The lowest estimate of the death toll is 21 million, while recent scholarship estimates from 50 to 100 million dead.

FYI: The "Download" link goes through I series of redirects with several obfuscated JavaScript pages in between. I didn't open it in a browser and therefore didn't spend the time to resolve the full chain to the final download, but the fact alone that these obfuscations are there speaks for itself.
GitHub took down the repository just now. It was up for 19 hours when we reported it. GitHub took action within roughly 2.5 hours, which was rather quick.

LโAssemblรฉe mondiale de la Santรฉ adopte un accord historique sur les pandรฉmies
#WHO Pandemic Agreement Approved by Member States, Ushering in a Dangerous New World Health Order #vaccines, #censorship of dissent, and global #surveillance systems.
This isnโt a treaty, itโs a trap. A global noose tightening around the throat of every free nation. They call it #OneHealth. What they mean is One Master. The WHO, now has the power to override your government, censor your speech and dictate how you live, farm, eat and breathe. This is not #science. Itโs #tyranny in a lab coat. The same global cabal that locked us down, ruined our businesses and buried the truth is now codifying that control into international law.
(remove space, supprimez l'espace dans le lien et choisissez la langue) who. int/news/item/20-05-2025-world-health-assembly-adopts-historic-pandemic-agreement-to-make-the-world-more-equitable-and-safer-from-future-pandemics
On 20th May 2025, WHO member states adopted the organisationโs first international Pandemic Agreement at the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva.
There was no parliamentary vote, no public debate, and no referendum. The treaty was adopted by consensus, not a formal vote, which means that governments, signaled approval without domestic scrutiny.
The treaty outlines legal commitments to: - Share pathogen samples & genetic data - Distribute vaccines & therapeutics equitably - Strengthen international surveillance - Comply with WHO-led emergency declarations - Develop global digital health certification systems
While the WHO cannot override national law, the treaty creates binding international obligations. Governments may use it to justify emergency laws or sweeping public health powers while shielding decisions behind the language of international compliance or global coordination.
Private foundations now shape global public health priorities without any electoral mandate.
It's based on the WHOโs One Health framework, which views human, animal, and environmental health as interconnected.
Critics argue this broadens the WHOโs scope, allowing it to influence food systems, climate policy, agriculture, and land use under the guise of pandemic prevention.
Among the more contentious provisions of the treaty are proposals to implement a Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) system.
This would allow WHO to access pathogen samples from any country and redistribute pharmaceutical products under equitable frameworks potentially overriding domestic vaccine supply chains.
The treaty also encourages states to adopt digital health documentation systems, which could evolve into permanent digital IDs tied to vaccination or health status.
While presented as public health tools, such systems have been heavily criticized by civil liberties groups as intrusive, coercive, and open to mission creep.
Several countries abstained or objected during the drafting phase. Their stated concerns include loss of national sovereignty, lack of legal clarity, and the risk of unelected institutions imposing policy.
In the NL, there has been virtually no parliamentary debate over the treaty. No formal statement has been made by the Prime Minister or Health Secretary.
Despite the agreementโs long-term implications, the NL has participated in negotiations quietly bypassing public scrutiny.
The adoption of this treaty reflects a broader trend: The shift from nation-state governance to transnational managerialism.
This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a structural change in how global policy is made particularly in moments of crisis.
What COVID began, the WHO treaty formalizes: Emergency governance, centralized authority, and the use of global health as a gateway to broader control.
If democratic governments can enter binding international agreements on pandemic policy without consulting their citizens, then who governs in a crisis. The answer is: Those you cannot remove from office.
The WHO Pandemic Agreement is a landmark. Not just in public health, but in global governance.
It centralizes authority, weakens national sovereignty, and embeds unelected influence at the heart of crisis response.

I found this bit of information but it's related to openSUSE and is quite old but I'm hoping it might help. spinics.net/lists//linux-inputโฆ
It doesn't show up in /dev/input/...
Any ideas on how I could get this thing recognized so I can use it?
Update 1:
I got connected with someone at the Simracing space on matrix per the advice from @lemonuri@lemmy.ml and they helped me to get it working. Here is what we did.
Create the file 99-handbrake.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d and add the two following lines to it.
This forces the device to usbhid as a joystick whenever it is plugged in and recognized.
Run the following command to reload the device rules if you don't want to reboot. Otherwise you can omit the command and reboot.
sudo udevadm control --reload
It now shows up and is working.
So the device was registering a button at the end of the pull and showing up as an Xbox controller while not recognizing the axis being moved so it was all or nothing.
I installed protopedal and following advice created a dummy device which remapped the inputs so that it registers the analog input only which worked.
protopedal --name "handbrake" -b JOYSTICK -a THROTTLE -s 0:THROTTLE -a Y --no-auto-buttons --no-auto-axes /dev/input/by-id/usb-ZSC_ODDOR-HANDBRAKE-event-joystick
Update 2:
All credit goes to JacKeTUs for his work on helping me out. He is making/made the driver for this. It may go into AUR for Arch users, so if anyone ends up looking for support for this handbrake you can find the source at the below link.
This will install the driver (currently it needs to be loaded after running sudo make) and the udev rule. It eliminates the need for protopedal but does require launch options to be set.
I am pretty sure you need to configure more (fake) buttons for the handbrake, I had the same problem. Otherwise it does not get recognized as a gaming device.
I can look up later how I solved this or you can ask the simracing linux community, which helped me with a couple of similar pronlems before:

On Sunday morning (18.5.2025), the residents of the #Bedouin shepherds community of Mughayyir Al-Dir received a "surprise" that has become all too familiar to Palestinian shepherd communities in Area C, and increasingly even in Area B, in recent years: settlers had established a new outpost nearby. What does a โnew outpostโ look like? A few shade nets, fences, a herd that were brought to the site, and most importantly a handful of young settlers guarded by armed militia members.
This time, the outpost was set up a few dozen meters from the community's homes. In a report that was published in Haaretz about the outpostโs establishment, one of the settlers in the new outpost was quoted saying: โThis is the only place that's left. Thatโs it, thank God we kicked everyone out, including you along with them.โ The settler was referring to the fact that Mughayyir Al-Dir is now the only Bedouin community still living in the area, after a wave of expulsions that began in the summer of 2022 expelled the neighboring communities.
Link to the map of the expelled Palestinian communities in our website is below.
In January 2024, we published a post about the community of Mughayyir Al-Dir, as part of a series highlighting communities at risk of imminent expulsion due to settler violence. Much of that violence stems from the isolated and violent settlement of Maale Michmash and the chain of ultra violent outposts surrounding it. We recommend revisiting that post for a deeper understanding of what has been unfolding in the area over recent decades and especially since October 7, 2023. Link to the post is in the comments.
As in many other cases, the new outpost is being built on a plot of land that was registered as state land during the Jordanian era, land that the State of Israel later looted and handed over to the criminal Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. We can assume that this council is behind the establishment of the new outpost.
And what does the army have to say to the Haaretz reporter in response to settlers setting up an outpost just meters away from an isolated and battered Palestinian community? โThe area does not encroach on the area where the Bedouins liveโ.
For anyone still in doubt about the armyโs role in the expulsion of Palestinian shepherd communities in the West Bank, here is yet another clear example. Link to the Haaretz article is below.
The new outpost, near a village outside Ramallah, stands between a resident's home and his sheep enclosure. Authorities have not removed the settlers despite issuing stop-work orders.

Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
From subscription-based missile defense to billion-dollar AI targeting, Americaโs latest shield is less about protection and more about privatizing national security.
So many trans kids birthed out of the Hollywood womb. Why?
While everyone is focused on "Climate Change" the real issue is how polluted the environment and our food sources are, but leave it to Alex "gay frogs" Jones to absurditate (I just made this word up but now it is real and you can use it too) the notion.
So they are normalizing what this shit is doing to kids by making it a "civil rights" issue, celebrating the specialness and boldness rather than examine the cause.
Was Holden Caulfield a murderer? What was he up in the booby hatch for? Why is this book so popular? So wide read? Its not really all that good, basically a Reddit incel post. Why was Shelly Duvall reading it in The Shining? That was shot before Reagan and Lennon were shot. Its all very weird. I'm into weird coincidences.
@jazzilla I have listened to them all and moved forward into that Isaac Weishapt person who I am not sure about but he did some good work on it too. Super weird fucking book.

Virus or no virus? The debate continues to understand the origin of the paranoid delusion called #Covid-19. My training (or perhaps my bias) led me to study this concept extensively from a statistical perspective. The conclusion of four years of work is quite clear: there is no trace of any new pathogen in the #statistics of illnesses or deaths in recent years. All excess deaths are due to the mistreatment of the most vulnerable, driven by fear of the virus. All the dates, all the numbers, correspond to this explanation. This approach could be called "bottom-up": starting from the final statistics to trace back to their foundations and concluding that nothing called "Covid-19" is scientific or even coherent.
A number of proponents of the "top-down" method also criticize the lack of certainty, and even the lack of science, in the theory of the new asymptomatic killer virus: "SARS-COV-2". Others, on the contrary, believe that its existence is well-proven and its properties known. To support their claims, they often cite scientific articles published in major journals, while specifying that these are not reliable when the results are unpleasant.
In a discussion on this subject, Yves #Rasir sent me a study published in the prestigious journal Nature "proving" that " #SARS-COV-2" is indeed a pathogen. The study focuses on the "genetic resistance" of a large number of mice that researchers supposedly "infected" with the virus. Reading this article and trying to match the announced results with the data provided in the appendix, I was so stunned by the inconsistencies from every angle that I called my friend Eusรจbe #Riochรฉ for help. I was at the point where I would have preferred him to show me that I no longer knew how to add. Unfortunately, the reality is worse than expected, as Eusรจbe further criticized this prose written in globish that passes for science. I will probably end up needing therapy because just seeing a guy in a lab coat on a screen now triggers uncontrollable laughter.
"We can discuss everything except the numbers", former French Minister of Health Olivier Vรฉran once said. After three years spent collecting and analyzing virtually all the figures concerning the Covid 19 crisis from French and international organizations, statistician Pierre Chaillot can confirm the opposite: we need to discuss everything, and especially the numbers. Particularly those that political and medical leaders deliberately chose not to quote, because they risked causing the official story to collapse. In this book, Pierre Chaillot presents the results of these analyses. The data he cites are all sourced, his calculations are entirely open to consultation on his website, and his hypotheses have been discussed and reviewed by specialists in statistics, computer science, mathematics and epidemiology. His findings are astounding. #Mortality, hospitalizations, tests, #vaccine effectiveness, side effects, nothing stands up to the ordered confrontation of all the data, and before the eyes of the appalled reader, the propaganda collapses.

Moldovan MP Vadim Fotescu breaks down alleged electoral manipulation in both Moldova and Romania, accusing pro-EU elites of rigging outcomes in favor of their chosen candidates
Arse. I acquired a pair of adolescent rats a few weeks ago, and when they stuck around (having a grand time in the duck food) I bought some traps, left them out for a bit to become normal and then started leaving them unset but baited with Nutella for a week.
Tonight I thought Iโd try setting them. One was tripped but empty of everything but food an hour ago, just checked and that one has been licked clean and the other is tripped but again empty of everything but food.
Wondering if the rats are still too light to properly trip the traps. Donโt want them to learn to evade before they get big enough to properly trip them.
Any thoughts? Canโt use rat-proof chicken feeders for ducks, donโt want to use poison because of Dog/wildlife.
In Nebraska, a hail storm destroyed a community's 14,000, 5.2MW, solar panel installation. They will NOT be recycled, toxic substances like cadmium are leaking into the field and into the water, it will be contaminated for at least 300 years. Everything very eco-friendly.
@Lotoscott cadmium telluride is only 4% of the installed solar panel capacity and tends not to have a long life and it is toxic. Crystaline silicon is 96% of the installed base, it is more expensive but is generally good for 30 years or more. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen. Personally, unless you've a load that corresponds well with max solar like air conditioning in southern California, it doesn't make much sense to me.

โFuckingโ is not a grammatical intensifier here, these fish are literally FUCKING. They are not only alive, they are MATING and having the TIME OF THEIR LIVES.
I'd respond this to each and every BITCH replying and DMing me about this personally, but I can't as they also BLOCKED ME.
I am clarifying this last bit to make clear that I'm not calling anyone BITCHES for not knowing how California grunion mate or for not knowing how to read alt text.
I'm calling people BITCHES for assuming the absolute worst of me, saying shitty things in my DMs and replies, and then blocking me.

Or, a quote that I never seem to remember comes from a cheesy SciFi movie with Will Smith in it: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
Finally, super mad props for fitting the word "fucking" as a grammatically and syntactically accurate use of the word while double-dipping as an expletive.
