Haggs Castle on the southside of Glasgow. Built in 1587 for the Maxwell Family, it's considered one of the few Medieval buildings still standing in Glasgow. Others include Glasgow Cathedral (built 1197), Provand's Lordship (built in 1471), Provan's Hall (built around 1450) and Crookston Castle (built around 1400).

In @pluralistic 's The Lost Cause there was some software that kids used to show fellow residents a vision of a better future by modelling their streets and their houses. Basically what construction companies do to sell houses, or what road building companies do to sell asphalt. But easier and faster to use.
The question is, do we have anything like that? I'm at a point where I need to show a future of my town to residents, and I want to show them pictures and renderings, not just maps.
Gets some details wrong. Guns you purchase/upgrade persist. Only the guns you find underwater degrade.
> Note that weapons are ephemeral: you can only use them for the next dive,
Should say current dive, for weapons you find underwater.
> and after that they are considered degraded and gone. So you constantly need to purchase those if you want to rely on actual guns.
You purchase it once and you can use it every dive after that if you want.

Aflac with a Friday 8-K.
On June 12, 2025, Aflac Incorporated, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), identified unauthorized access to its network. The Company promptly initiated its cybersecurity incident response protocols and believes that it contained the intrusion within hours. The Company’s business remains operational, and its systems were not affected by ransomware. The Company continues to serve its policyholders as it responds to this incident and can underwrite policies, review claims, and otherwise service customers as usual. The Company has engaged leading third-party cybersecurity experts to support the Company’s response to the incident.

Der Beginn des Angriffskriegs von Israel auf den Iran vor einer Woche diente dem Umsetzen der Operation Narnia. Also begann man die Reihe der Liste entlang zu gehen und ermorderte Wissenschaftler.
Ich denke das wirft einen wichtigen Blick auf die Begründung Israels für den plötzlichen Angriff.
Einen Einblick darüber wie diese Angriffe - zur Ermordung von Personen auf der Liste ausgeführt worden sind gibt dieser CNN-Beitrag.
Da wird dann schon mal ein ganzes Gebäude mit Einwohnern darin zerstört, in dem ein Wissenschaftler lebt. Ein anderes Gebäude wurde gezielt zerstört mit mindestens 40 Toten (15 davon Kinder), obwohl nur wenige hundert Meter ein leicht angreifbares militärisches Ziel war.

My son enrolling in freshman college classes:
Chemistry and a couple other practical science/math classes are waitlisted.
BUT if he wants to get into a Queer Japan or Black Sexuality class, those are wide open.
And now you know why 51% of Gen Z think their college degree is worthless.
He's going into actuary - solid job prospects and I work in that arena to hook him up with an internship, so no worries.
I think the trades are good if your intent is to run your own shop - get certified and get 2-3 years of good experience in and then open your own business.
@ned
Perhaps, but not a single person wanting to study chemistry should be denied the opportunity because the university is instead putting money into professors to teach about Queer Japan.

The video depicts a poignant scene on a street where a person, dressed in a dark, soiled jacket and pants, is seated on the ground, facing away from the camera. Beside them is a large, transparent plastic bag and a small bowl, suggesting a situation of need. The person is seen reaching out towards the ground, possibly in search of something, while the background shows a closed shop with a metal shutter and a few pedestrians walking by, including one in a red shirt. The scene is set in a desolate urban environment, with the ground appearing dirty and the overall atmosphere somber. The video captures the essence of the person's plight, highlighting the stark contrast between their situation and the indifferent passersby.

Maja is on hunger strike!
Anti-fascist days of action
20-22 June 2025
Following an illegal extradition from Germany to Hungary and almost a year of cruel solitary confinement in Budapest, Maja, an anti-fascist from Jena, went on hunger strike on 5 June 2025. Maja is demanding to be transferred back to Germany.
The situation is acute. We must act now.
Every day of fasting increases the risk of damage to health. However, the German government and the German Foreign Office have not yet exerted any noticeable influence on the Hungarian government. It is therefore up to us to increase the pressure on them.
That is why we are calling for international days of action in solidarity with Maja on the weekend of 20 to 22 June. All over Germany and in other countries, rallies and actions should take place in front of German and Hungarian institutions and embassies and the seats of the responsible parties.
The action days take place 15 days after the start of the hunger strike. After two weeks of fasting, Maja will then already be in a critical phase. On 20 June 2025, the court in Budapest will also decide on their application to be transferred to house arrest.
Get active!
Free Maja goes Pride
We are also calling on people to take part in the CSD and Pride demonstrations before and after the days of action and to make Maja’s cause visible there. You can find templates to print flyers and a banner at: basc.news/aktionskit-unterstue….
Bring Maja back home! No extraditions to Hungary! Freedom for all antifas!

the US at 33
the UK at 36, just before China, at 37 🤦♂️
WTF went wrong with so many western countries?
Interestingly, Switzerland is still the only country in the world that practices direct democracy.
I'd say this is evidence that when THE PEPOLE get to tell the government how to manage the country by voting on issues and not just electing politicians, the result is far better!
I never understood why anyone ever trusted politicians to do the right thing.

* IronFox – Privacy-oriented and recommended by LibreWolf. GitLab Link
* Fennec F-Droid – Seems like development has stopped. F-Droid Link
* Waterfox – Waterfox Link
* Librewolf – Privacy-focused but not sure about Android support.
Is there any other browser out there that fits this criteria? Is there an even better choice? I’m particularly interested in ones that focus on privacy.
