Nothing has brought me more joy today than this singular video of Trump’s birthday military parade. Sad doesn’t even cover it. The squeaking. The empty bleachers. The zero energy. Mother Nature deciding to rain on his parade (literally). Chefs kiss.

I have these two sentences stuck in my head these days:
A French minister: we need to prepare ourselves for a future when temperatures are 4°C higher.
A climate scientist: with a rise of 4°C above pre-industrial age, up to 90% of the world's population may die.
(edit: muting the post, it's going way beyond its intended audience, I'd like to be able to see notifications about other things. thanks you all for sharing)
The problem is that people hear "+4 deg C warmer" and understand "weather as if we were 1000km equatorward" and that is .. a lot .. but not catastrophic. What they fail to hear is the missing part: "and then the weather will be so unpredictable and violent that farming in the open will no longer be feasible" (because if you sowed, it would be a lottery if you harvested anything at all, let alone more than you sowed).
It's widespread death by starvation, not due to weather directly.
@violetmadder one wonders what their end game is, right? "I'll be dead by then anyway" possibly. And then there's the people who expect to be able to negotiate even with gravity.
@violetmadder if so they severely underestimate just how many skilled people and stuff from all over the world you need to make a modern computer. Unless a digital god running on ancient hardware that cannot be replaced is the goal ... frankly, in a plus 4 deg C world, pretty shells are a much better proposition for money than anything that needs an Internet to be feasible.
#GazaGenocide / Red Line protest: 150,000 march for Gaza in the Hague
Tens of thousands gathered in The Hague to protest #Israel’s (revenge) war on #Gaza. The demonstrators demanding the #Dutch government to take stronger action against Israel, calling for an end to the #genocide and criticizing Dutch complicity.
Demonstrators, dressed in red, marched to the International Court of Justice as a symbol of the line they believe Israel is crossing. The protest is a joint action by over ninety aid organizations
According to organizers, the second "Red Line" demonstration in The Hague against the war on Gaza and the Dutch cabinet's policy towards Israel drew approximately 150,000 participants A previous protest in May drew over 100,000 people.
Den Haag kleurt zondag opnieuw rood. De tweede Rode Lijn-demonstratie tegen de oorlog in de Gazastrook en het kabinetsbeleid tegenover Israël brengt volgens de organisatie zo’n 150 duizend mensen op de been - dat is fors meer dan een maand geleden.
Even if only some of what Zelensky is worried about comes to pass, especially reduced US aid and forthcoming American pressure upon Ukraine to comply with Russia’s demands, then the conflict might end sooner than expected.
Here's an interesting chart (form @adamtooze chartbook blog) which identifies where CEOs of global corporations come from (their previous jobs); so if you needed some (more) evidence on the cultural shape of the global economic elite this is going to be some help.
So, if you wondered why so many global corporations seem to adopt a similar strategic playbook, the role of consultancies in shaping CEOs outlook, looks like a good bet.

Don't confuse someone just saying that something has happened or is happening for that someone saying that something is good or bad, or that they are somehow responsible for the thing happening.
As someone who often toots about things happening in the world I do sometimes get angry responses unmistakably aimed at me for that thing happening and I see the same aimed at others in the same circumstance too. Seeing that happen at someone else again recently is why I write this now.
As an illustration: Imagine if a meteorologist on TV tells you that there is a hurricane causing or about to cause devastation. They did not decide that there should be a hurricane and just for saying there is/will be one they aren't saying it is in their opinion a good thing.
There are often good reasons to be angry about events happening in the world, but direct it at the actual cause(s), driving possibility for change, and not just at someone telling you about there being something that you are angry about while they are as powerless against it as you are.

Éléments de langage - #manipulation - #narratif - #mensonge #Israël - #France - #Iran Sur une radio française ce matin: "La guerre déclenchée par le programme nucléaire iranien....."
"The command centre of the Israeli military is located in the middle of Tel Aviv's urban centre, not isolated on military grounds, but embedded in densely populated residential areas. Civilians live all around, while surface-to-air missiles are perched on the rooftops, ready for use. This deliberate merging of military infrastructure with civilian structures is a clear violation of international humanitarian law. Articles 48 and 51(7) of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions clearly prohibit this practice.
The technology of these systems leaves no room for doubt. The radar covers a radius of over 100 kilometres and the missiles themselves have a range of around 70 kilometres. These defence systems could easily be located outside urban areas. But they are located in the centre of the city. The Israeli military leadership is not choosing this location out of necessity, but out of calculation.
A defence system is not simply being built here. Civilian life is being deliberately interwoven with military infrastructure. The effect is clear. Any attack on these military targets automatically poses a threat to the civilian population. Even if there is no evidence of a direct intention to use protective shields, this is precisely the de facto effect. "
what's crazy is that hamas allegedly fired 3-5000 rockets at israel, but israel tightly controls who and what goes in and out of gaza. so it's hard to believe that all those rockets got smuggled in without their knowledge. i'm still undecided about whether it was LIHOP or MIHOP, but they definitely maximized and exploited it either way
So what is the antidote to capitalism? Economic democracy. With democratic control over our productive capacities we can stop climate breakdown in short order.
The World Federation of Trade Unions strongly condemns Israel’s attack on Iran. This attack is yet another blatant violation of the principles of international law, and it increases the dangers to peace and security in the region and across the globe…

News brief in #Haaretz which I think is now removed but visible in archive.today read the following:
[…] An Israeli official told the #Saudi channel Al-Arabiya that American involvement in the fighting against Iran is essential to achieving the war's objectives, adding that without destroying the nuclear reactor in #Fordow, the operation would be useless. According to him, #Israel is concerned that the US will pressure the parties to end the fighting before the war's objectives are achieved, but if US President Donald Trump demands that Israel agree to a ceasefire, it will agree.
While Israel attempts to compel the U.S. into a war with #Iran, the #GazaGenocide persists unabated, and possibly intensifying.
You might've heard that search sucks on software X... maybe software Y... definitely on software Z. The default one kind of sucks on NodeBB too, admittedly.
But why? It's because search is really frickin' hard to get right, and expensive to get good at.

But why? It's because search is really frickin' hard to get right, and expensive to get good at.
Remember that Google started as a search company, and they became king because they got really good at it, and it was their only product (at the time, anyway!)
The easiest type of search is "full text" search. It matches words exactly based on what you type in. For example if you search lemmy it would match posts that include the word lemmy but depending on how the content was indexed, might not match lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, lemmyverse, etc.
From there you start adding complexity like supporting AND and OR. You support partial matches (lem returns posts containing lemmy and lemmings).
Add more logic to remove stop words and articles like a, the, etc.
Put in some sorting logic to rank stuff higher (what's your algo? Recency? Votes? etc.)
That's just the tip of the iceberg... this problem domain is so vast that entire companies have been built around just providing searching as a service (e.g. Algolia), and it isn't cheap!
Marginalia Search is a small independent do-it-yourself search engine for surprising but content-rich websites that never ask you to accept cookies or subscribe to newsletters.
If I post a picture of a flower with the caption "Look what grew in my garden!", that's a terrible post from a search point of view.
Later on someone will search for "flower" but I didn't use the word "flower" so now search sucks.
Of course a much more common post is someone posting a picture of text, from Twitter, Tumblr, etc. with, once again, a vague caption. You remember the picture, but not what the poster actually said.
Searching comments will sometimes help, but that depends on the comments being related.
#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!
Sunday slipped in after a late night, slightly dazed & desperately needing a quiet day.
It’s started overcast again here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire but there is talk of sunshine later.
Due to go across for a family BBQ today but spoons are low & I would much rather stay at home.
Had to have a cup of tea instead of my usual big mug of coffee - bladder considerations are now a thing, especially if I’m gonna be int he car for 2 hours last this morning.
Right I gues I aught to get a wiggle on & get my ass in gear - I should have gone for an automatic, a stick shift looks really silly on an ass!
Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶🖖

The International Coordinating Committee of the Global March to Gaza had organized a march for today, June 12, 2025, following the required protocols and requesting the corresponding permits.
It only works with the first command in the recorded history, not with any sub shells or chained commands.
\#!/usr/bin/env bash
# 1. history and $HISTFILE do not work in scripts. Therefore cat with a direct
# path is needed.
# 2. awk gets the first part of the command name.
# 3. List is then sorted and duplicate entries are removed.
# 4. type -P will expand command names to paths, similar to which. But it will
# also expand aliases and functions.
# 5. Final output is then sorted again.

After reading a blog post, I had this script in mind to see if its possible. This is just for fun and I don't have an actual use for it. Maybe some parts of it might inspire you to do something too. So have fun.

The Kataib Hezbollah resistance faction in Iraq has threatened to intervene against US military bases if Washington directly enters Tel Aviv’s ongoing war against Iran.
Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, in recent days, according to two U.S. officials cited by Reuters.
NATO recon and surveillance crafts have been non-stop over Van's airspace, southeast Turkey.
The aircraft and the strategic radar base on the high ground of the Akcadag region, dubbed Site K, are the primary reason (90%+) how Israel detects Iranian launches. The site is far more important for the defense of Israel than the radar bases in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Meanwhile, Turkish right-wing media pretends to be neutral or even anti-Israel.
Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reports that Israel has officially requested Washington's intervention in the attack on Iran to destroy the Fordow nuclear facility.

That is, USA have already agree to enter the war and strike Fordow, otherwise IBC should never broadcasting it
Iran carried retaliatory strikes against Israel late on Saturday night. The strikes killed 10 people, including a Palestinian family of four in Tamra and six Israelis in Bat Yam near Tel Aviv, with dozens more missing.
Iran said the strikes were in "self-defence" as a response to Israel's massive attack on the Islamic Republic's senior leadership, military bases and nuclear sites the previous day.
Iran struck the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel's top scientific research centre, in a wave of missile strikes on the country late on Satuday night.
Active for nearly a century, the centre conducts research for Israel's military technology, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence and drones, both of which have been used extensively in Israel's war on Gaza.
The strikes follow Israel's attacks on Iran's strategic infrastructure, including military bases, nuclear sites and scientists, top commanders and energy facilities.
Israelis killed tens of thousand of babies and children and now look at them:
"Khamenei is under pressure, therefore he ordered targeting Israeli civilians. We are working with all our strength to minimize damage," - Eyal Zamir, Israeli Chief of Staff.
- The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said France offered military assistance against Iran
- On Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron said France could engage in “operations to protect and defend” Israel in the event of Iranian retaliation against Israeli strikes, provided France was “in a position to do so.”
Here in Europe we are governed by war mongers with their private accounts full of money from Halliburton to Elbit Systems. They need to resign and fockoff
Iran has not yet used the Fateh 2 missiles, the new generation Sejjil missiles, or the Khorramshahr missiles, which have a warhead weight of 2 tons and pin point accuracy.
These missiles are among the advanced weapons Iran has stockpiled for future attacks.
