As Paul Waldman notes, somehow the US got through a couple of hundred years without law enforcement officers needing to cover their faces. Yet suddenly this is the norm for the Trump administration, which claims this is necessary to protect the officers. Why?

"Government agents, especially but not only those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, will now wear masks when prowling through American streets, raiding homes and workplaces, snatching people out of their cars, rounding up immigrants or people who look like immigrants, and carting them away in unmarked vehicles."

"This image of masked men ready to do violence is everywhere now, just as the administration wants. The practical purpose is to remove the possibility of accountability, but there’s another message it sends: Unlike even previous iterations of state violence, this is a form of power with which there is no negotiating."

Why would you attack a #PRISON unless your intended goal was simply to #kill #CIVILIANS?

Nevermind, this is #Israel we're talking about here. Killing innocent CIVILIANS is their thing.

Cuando era pequeña la Revetlla era una fiesta en el pueblo, ¿con petardos? SI. Pero entonces eran lo que se llamaban piulas y poco más. Y el Ajuntament entonces contrataba una orquesta y se daba más importancia a la fiesta con baile y hogueras en la playa.
Ahora el ajuntament se gasta miles de euro del presupuesto (guiño a esas comisiones) en pirotecnia a ver cual petardos más fuerte (sin tener en cuenta a los que sufrimos este horror, claro) y adivinad qué ha desaparecido?. Efectivamente, la orquesta,la música, y la charanga.

what are some sexualities/romantic orientations that correspond to kinsey 5?

i can only decide myself what I am, but i would like to see the kinsey 5 orientations out of curiosity and just because i wanna see what i may be.

i, personally, when male, am a kinsey 5 and almost exclusively attracted to men except for a few girls i dated and one i'm currently with.

so as a girl, i'm about a kinsey 1.

I do!

It is difficult to do full time and make enough, which is what I am doing. I've been in business for 15 years so I have a lot of repeat customers now.

I also started an email newsletter around 8 years ago. If I hadn't have done that, I probably would not have survived.

However, if you are wanting to do stuff for fun and profit on the side, it is different. I have some ideas that I could certainly talk over.

Depends on if you want to sell stuff or offer services.

If you like gaming computers, do those... but cost more to get into the mid-range and higher end.

If you like Linux or retro gaming, there's older computers that are not supported by Windows 11, but will be great for Batocera Linux and add a couple Logitech USB game controllers.

List it and see if any one buys.

"According to several biographers, #Vladimir #Lenin was intolerant of opposition and often dismissed outright opinions that differed from his own. He could be "venomous in his critique of others", exhibiting a propensity for mockery, ridicule, and ad hominem attacks on those who disagreed with him. He ignored facts that did not suit his argument, abhorred compromise, and very rarely admitted his own errors. He refused to change his opinions, until he rejected them completely, after which he would treat the new view as if it was just as unchangeable. Lenin showed no sign of sadism or of personally desiring to commit violent acts, but he endorsed the violent actions of others and exhibited no remorse for those killed for the revolutionary cause."

Kinda sounds the same as today's #marxists, huh?

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Statement by the Iranian Armed Forces:

'Noble and Resilient Nation of Iran!

Following the blatant military aggression of the criminal regime of the United States of America against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the clear violation of international law, by the order of the Supreme National Security Council and the leadership of the Central Headquarters of the Rasool Al-Azam, the IRGC with the sacred code of ' Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein' has targeted the Al-Udeid base in Qatar with a devastating and powerful missile attack in Operation Besharat Fatah.

This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the U.S. terrorist army in the West Asian region.

The message of this decisive action of the sons of the nation in the armed forces is clear and unequivocal for the White House and its allies:

The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on God Almighty, relying on the faithful and famous people of Islamic Iran, will not leave its territorial integrity, sovereignty and national security unanswered under any circumstances.

With the aggression of the American enemy, it became clear to everyone that the evil of the Zionists was an extension of the Americans' design. Accordingly, we remind you that in this national defense, the U.S. bases and mobile military targets in the region are not a point of strength, but rather a major weakness and a thorn in the side of this warmongering regime.

On the eve of the month of Muharram, the month of mourning for the leader and commander of martyrs, Hazrat Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS), we once again warn the enemies of Islamic Iran that the era of hit-and-run is over, and the will of the country's powerful people's armed forces.

Any repetition of U.S. aggression will lead to the acceleration of the collapse of the U.S. military pillars in the region, their ignominious escape from West Asia, and the realization of the common aspiration of the Islamic Ummah and the freedom-loving nations of the world in eradicating the cancerous tumor of Zion.'

What Does Gettysburg Have To Do With WWII??? | American Artifact Episode 170

Many who have watched the American Artifact series have asked the question, "What does Gettysburg have to do with WWII?" Well, the history of Gettysburg didn't stop in 1863. In this episode, we're bringing an artifact from The Gettysburg Museum of History to a spot in Gettysburg that shows how the history of Gettysburg is very much entwined with WWII.

My professional contacts are acting strange. The ones who know that I'm a weak fit for government research are shutting me out. The ones who *don't* know that are desperately reaching out.

There's a stupidly huge number of job postings for DoD contractors. They actually pay industry standard - they usually pay garbage.

Something's happening, I don't know what it is.

I personally suspect that our government is trying to develop some previously inconceivable military technology. I'll call such a secret project "Z," out of ignorance of what it actually is. My discipline is highly specialized, but it's also so broadly applicable that "our government wants CMD to be useful" gives zero fucking information other than "there's a camera of some kind somewhere" which could easily just mean 'we want new face detection tech to keep Z out of our enemy's hands."

The US has been atrocious at keeping secrets for decades. DOGE was obviously a government purge - I suspect that this was actually done to throw out people who our government suspects would leak information about Z. That is, this was a transition from a pseudo-peacetime civil service to a wartime civil service.

Our government is trying to scrape up scientists from the streets right now - if it wasn't, I wouldn't know shit. It cannot find enough suitable scientists to develop Z. That must mean Z is either big enough that it requires a stupidly huge number of scientists, or the US scientific community is full of people unfit to work on Z. I'd suspect it's the latter - American scientists are mostly driven by one of two desires: the desire to publish public research or money.

Patriotism in the scientific community is very low. Unfortunately, the scientists that *do* fill our National Labs are...not the best, nor the brightest. They're usually driven by the desire for a stable job where they don't have to compete...a desire held by incompetent people. They are not *idiots*, but they are undeniably outclassed by the typical university professor, and they are comically outclassed by people selling you ads.

I think we're looking at a second nuke race. I don't know what the next "nuke" is, but whatever it is the US government is trying to make it right now.

View from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon today. Blue sky, a few clouds on the horizon, and temperatures in the 70s. A trail that heads down towards the Colorado River appears as a faint line (center right). Trees dot the slopes in the foreground. A snaking line of vegetation can be seen in the lower right. Shade and natural water sources support plants and animals. Temperatures rise as one descends into the canyon, in summer and in winter months. From all angles, the colors of the rocks dominate the scene.

The "official" Linux kernel, straight from Linus Torvalds and all the kernel developers, you generally see a new version every 2 to 2 and a half months.

All stable versions of the Linux kernel are numbered in the usual scheme, so major number DOT minor number, but they also have really strange codenames. Some distros tend to modify these kernels with additional patches, or features that haven't been added yet, which is why you can see some kernel versions with a "-ubuntu" at the end for example.

Certain kernel versions are also marked as LTS, meaning Long Term support. These are versions that will be supported for much longer, up to 6 years. The Linux kernel project recently reduced that support window to 2 years.

Since both the stable and LTS kernels ship with some non free firmware, there's the Kernel Libre project, which removes all of that, to only ship software and code that is completely free, as in freedom..

Next, we have the hardened kernel. It's not an "official" project per se, it's a kernel version that certain distros ship in their repos, like Arch Linux for example. It's the stable kernel, with an additional patch set applied to it to make it more resilient security-wise.

Next, we have the realtime kernel. The goal is to reduce the latency between a task being assigned to the CPU, and its execution, and it's mainly meant for industrial applications, or for audio production.
This, in turn, makes it less efficient for multi tasking, and it requires a lot more manual config to be efficient, and applications need to be specifically tailored to take advantage of this lower latency.

The low latency kernel variants do the same thing, but at a lesser degree: it still lets you pre-empt CPU threads like the real time kernel, but it isn't as regular as the realtime kernel.

The Android kernel is focused on supporting a specific category of devices, meaning that it has optimizations for these exact things.

The Zen kernel applies a few fixes and improvements meant to have the best performance and experience for linux desktop users. It's also packaged as the Liquorix kernel for Ubuntu or Debian, and other distros, although Liquorix isn't exactly like the Zen kernel.

Another version is the XanMod kernel, with sort of the same optimization as the Zen kernel, and a few more on top of that, with the same goal: improving the performance of Linux systems.

Finally, we have the TKG kernels, and I'm saying kernels, because TKG isn't a specific Linux kernel you can download and use, it's more like a build system that lets you choose a few specific patches and compile your own kernel with that.

What we (as in humanity) need to do is find a truly objective person to make the ultimate sacrifice. We'd have to compensate them with something outrageous like unlimited wealth for life. But the person would have to be a completely normal sexually active adult. Then give them the trans genital surgery. And have them report on the true efficacy of these surgeries.

The reason our army of Holden Bloodfeasts clapped for Bibi the way they did is because he is one of them. The United States and Israel act as one geopolitical unit, and they act in lockstep.

While their domestic affairs are completely segregated, Israel is an extension of the United States for all practical military and diplomatic purposes.

This is the motivation behind my use of the term "US-Israel", and this is one of the reasons I dislike people who imply that the United States is a slave to Israel or whatever.

People who talk about how Israel controls America are bad for 3 reasons:

A) it's not true
B) it has at least a passing resemblance to neo-Nazi David Duke's "ZOG" conspiracy theory that makes me uncomfortable
C) it's a way of laundering the reputation of the United States by portraying the colonialist policies of the state of Israel as an aberration that the "real America" wouldn't support, when this contradicts everything in US history ever.

Israel is a semi-autonomous suzerainty of the United States in practice. Without imperialism, Israel would not exist.

Jabotinsky and other founding Zionists have deliberately worked to maintain this strategy for more than a century. First it was Britain, but Britain's imperial power collapsed. Then, Israel moved to change its alignment towards the United States.

The strategy detailed in the Iron Wall has succeeded beyond Ze'ev's wildest dreams.
