Inspired by one of my favourite lyricists
(James Douglas Morrison)
Tide Drive -- with Muse of June..

Let’s slip
past the painted curb of sanity,
You - Dear Muse of June - and me—barefoot, brain-lit, lunar-dazed—
We’ll hitch a ride
on the tide,
rolling down Luna`s sweet boulevard.

No maps,
just whispers from the sea's cracked lips,
salt-tongue lullabies and the jazz of distant foghorns
blowing Miles into the mist,
a syncopation for drifters and dream-sick lovers
like us --
Searching for soulfood and aching for the unknown.

I saw the stars changed into fireworks -
flicked from a Goddess rooftop party,
and I thought—
this is it,
this is where we drive off the edge
and kiss the night with open eyes.

Let’s drive into the undertow,
Let the ocean drink us in—
not to drown us, baby, no—
To drift
where the dolfins are philosophers
and jellyfish hum sweet melodic sounds.

We’ll trade names with the wind,
make up stories to forget ourselves,
and leave behind
the clocks,
the rent,
the plastic breakfast conversations.

This is the heartbeat cruise,
The midnight escape -
Take the wheel, darling,
I’m blind - on stardust
and singing in a language only the tide remembers.

So let´s set sail
Now -
You, My Dear Muse of June -- and me
Lets sail to the moon - The Sweetness Luna -
Before the world awakes..

TsL 25.

Just a reminder that Google is an illegal monopolist, having lost three distinct antitrust cases.

It looks likely that Google will be treated the way Microsoft was in their famous antitrust loss in the late 1990s, and not be broken up in any significant way. Google absolutely should be broken up, just like AT&T and Standard Oil (and countless other large US monopolists) were before it. Google's wealth and power derives from illegal behavior; this is not in question anymore. Why should they be permitted to keep what courts have decided they stole? 100 years of antitrust law and precedent says that it should not be permitted to keep the spoils of its illegal behavior.

It sounds to me like the hesitation to break up Google is largely ideological on the part of the judges and lawyers involved. The failure to break up Microsoft after its antitrust loss is arguably one of the main reasons the US economy is such a monopolized, consolidated mess today, and why so many things are "enshittifying". Breaking up Google and changing that pattern would obviously not cure all ills, but it'd almost surely make a number of things in the economy better for a whole lot of people.

In any case, one thing we can all do is look at Google as a bad actor, a law-breaking entity whose power is illegitimate.

Moti #Shefer, Israel’s all time most respected ballistic expert, has been arguing throughout the last 2 decades that Israel’s anti missile systems have achieved O (zero) success in intercepting enemy missiles and projectiles. According to Shefer the #IronDome is a money making scum (I would expect nothing less from God’s favourite children).

Shefer shows in his scientific study that a single Palestinian rocket would appear on the Israeli anti missile system as 20 separate targets. The Israeli system would then target 20 enemy projectiles, one would of course through. It would be presented as 95% success but in fact it is a 100% failure, a #hoax!!!

I have been writing a lot about #Iran’s air defence being compromised due to the Israeli first move. Iran, however, is gaining its air defence in place. It is dealing with relatively slower objects. But #Israel air defence is totally obsolete, dysfunctional. It may be effective against Nazi V2 technology but these are not around for a while.

In this superb video analysis you can get yourself informed about the Israeli and American total incapacity to deal with Iran hyper sonic technology.
#Iran has the upper ground in the sky.

Matthew 24:6-13 KJV

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

*** Persia fell to Alexander The Great in 334BC... 2358 years ago. but... Persia didn't exist at all 2780 years ago since it was founded in 550BC - 2753 years ago.

and, of course... the Hebrews were also using the Aramaic "square" script by the time of the Persian Empire founding, not the Archaic Hebrew script showing on the inscription (though it could also be Canaanite, Phoenician, or - ironically, early Greek script).

but its still a funny post.

Damage

The Institute estimates the damage from Iran’s missile strike on its main laboratory at 2 billion shekels (~$570 million). The attack severely damaged three major research buildings and partially affected many others, with around 45 laboratories impacted.

The figure reflects only infrastructure losses, and not the immense scientific toll, which includes destroyed rare materials, irreplaceable samples, and years of unfinished research.

Carney of Canada supported an unprovoked attack on Iran by Israel, bizarrely labeling it as self-defense. Canada's complicity in the war on Iran is a concern and calls for opposition to Canadian involvement. There is significant potential for a larger regional conflict and the implications of war abroad and austerity at home.

Nothing can be compared to what has happened — and continues to happen — in Gaza.
While your conflict with Iran is a military confrontation between two armies, what you launched against Gaza was a full-scale war on an entire defenceless population. You didn’t just target military sites — you destroyed homes, obliterated neighbourhoods, and wiped out entire families. You cut off food, water, medicine, and electricity. You bombed hospitals and refugee camps. You turned a humanitarian crisis into a living hell.
This is not warfare. This is systematic devastation.
What’s happening in #Gaza is not a war — it is a relentless campaign of collective punishment, ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, starvation, and disease. And even after all the destruction, it still hasn’t stopped. The suffering continues. The world watches. And history will remember.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Why is this not surprising? On #Sharkey, users have the ability to #block an entire server, as well as admins. A user's block of an entire server doesn't affect any other user on the server.

Le #NYT ressuscite David #Petraeus qui ressemble à un super méchant de dessin animé sur l' #Iran.

Il encourage #Trump à menacer de « destruction complète » le peuple iranien et, s’il ne s’exécute pas, à le « réduire en miettes » :

David H. Petraeus, général qui commandait les forces américaines en Irak et en Afghanistan et dirigeait la 101e division aéroportée lors de l'invasion initiale de Bagdad, voit peu de similitudes entre la préparation à l'intervention en Irak et aujourd'hui. « Il s'agit clairement d'une préparation potentielle à une action militaire, mais il ne s'agit pas de l'invasion d'un pays », a-t-il déclaré mercredi.

M. Trump, a-t-il déclaré, devrait adresser un ultimatum à l'ayatollah Ali Khamenei, le guide suprême de l'Iran, et lui ordonner d'accepter le démantèlement complet de son programme nucléaire, sous peine de « destruction totale de votre pays, de votre régime et de votre peuple ». Si le guide suprême rejette l'ultimatum, a ajouté M. Petraeus, « cela renforce notre légitimité et, à contrecœur, nous les réduirons en miettes ».

Ich will verurteilen. Die Faschos, die angegriffen haben, für hoffentlich offensichtliche Dinge. Die Polizeien, die mal wegen „abstrakter Bedrohungslagen“ oder „zu wenig Sicherheitspersonal“ Veranstaltungen absagen oder vorzeitig beenden lassen, und dann wieder andere Veranstaltungen nicht schützen.
Und natürlich die verfickte AfD, die seit Jahren ungestraft und ungehindert hetzt, die Medien, die diese Hetze verbreiten und dabei noch nicht einmal einordnen (insbesondere die Blöd, die ihre eigenen Kampagnen fahren um der AfD zu nicht mehr Einfluss zu verhelfen), die Union, die kräftig Steigbügelhalter spielt und die Rhetorik und Positionen der Faschisten übernehmen, die SPD, die seit 1998 durchgehend mit in der Regierung sitzen und kräftig dazu beigetragen haben, Zustände zu schaffen, in denen die AfD gedeien kann (trifft in ungleich geringerem Maßstab auch auf die Grünen zu) und jeden Vollpfosten, der auf den Scheiß reinfällt, mitmacht und nicht dagegen steht.

Einfach ne dumme Frage.

O Zygmunτ Bauman, Πολωνοβρετανός και Εβραίος φιλόσοφος έλεγε το 2005 σε μια διάλεξή του στο Βερολίνο και μετέπειτα σε συνέντευξή του:
"The risk of the Holocaust is not that it will be forgotten but that it will be embalmed and surrounded by monuments and used to absolve all future sins," he tells me. "When Cheney, Blair and Berlusconi go to celebrate the memory of the Holocaust, it acts in such a way that it allows them to say: 'Whatever we do is against evil.'"

Ο ίδιος έχει γράψει κι ένα βιβλίο για το πώς προέκυψε το Ολοκαύτωμα (Modernity and the Holocaust), τις τελευταίες μέρες διαβάζοντας για Παλαιστίνιους που βομβαρδίζονται ενώ περιμένουν στην σειρα για φαγητό έβγαλε πολύ νόημα, αν πέσει στα χέρια σας δείτε το, δεν είναι δυσκολοδιάβαστο.

Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.


I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like "generate me a fictional number for testing purposes" and because it's an LLM doing what LLM's do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn't have to) be real.

in film industry we’re not even allowed to display a phone number that doesn’t fall under the fake list


Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.

Oh, suddenly bombing hospitals is bad:

theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Let's recap how many hospitals and health facilities Israel has bombed & besieged (a 🧵):

Gaza

Al-Ahli Arab
Al-Shifa
Indonesian Hospital
Al-Quds
Al-Amal
Turkish-Palestinian Friendship
Jordan Field
Al Awda
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani
Doctors Without Borders convoy
Al-Shifa ambulance
Kamal Adwan
Yafa
Nasser Medical Complex
Al-Rantisi and Al-Nasr children's hospitals
European Hospital
Field hospital at Khadija school

in reply to Alx 🐈

(continued: Gaza)

Al Basma IVF center
Rehabilitation Centre for Visually Impaired
Palestine Children's Relief Fund
Al-Aqsa
Kuwaiti Hospital
Indonesian field hospital in Rafah
Red Cross facilities
Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital

and of course, they killed thousands of healthcare workers.

But let's keep on.

The West Bank:

Jenin Governmental Hospital
Khalil Suleiman hospital

and never forget that the IOF disguised as medical personnel to murder 'alleged militants'

But let's keep counting

2/

in reply to Alx 🐈

Lebanon

Meiss Ej Jabal Hospital
Hanin Hospital

Iran
hospital in Kermanshah

That's all I could find, but I might have missed some. Just to remind everyone, that there is only one bloodthirsty aggressor here, and it isn't 'the Arabs' or Iran

CLARIFICATION EDIT: Of course, bombing hospitals is ALWAYS a war crime.
Just ask yourself why our western governments have allowed for 30 hospitals being bombed, besieged, flattened, medical staff abducted by Israel in the first place.
