Zohran Mamdani’s apparent victory late Tuesday night represented a sharp rebuke of the Democratic Party establishment
It represented, he said, the ascendance of a new Democratic coalition, one that prioritized the needs of the working class over those of the elite.
“We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford,” he said.
“A city where they can do more than just struggle. One where those who toil in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor in the day.”

@mudflap Is that reason enough to be a soft, fucking, pussy suicidal? We have all gotten bullied in multiple ways. Those moments were and still are, opportunities to overcome and win not to surrender and die. It's unforgivable, it's weak and it's superficial.
Imagine caring that much about gaining the acceptance of people, especially people one never even met, that their negative, presumable opinions or attitudes causes one to prefer suicide. That is utter vanity and there may be a special place in hell for people that vain, weak and shallow. Who will take care of her foxes now that she never really cared about them in the first place? She just cared about what favorable opinions, that others had for her.

"Trapping AI" – Slight Update! 🌀
Activity in the "Trapping AI" project is accelerating: in just under a month, over 26 million requests have hit our tarpit URLs 🕳️. Vast volumes of meaningless content were devoured by AI crawlers — ruthless digital leeches that relentlessly scour and pillage the web, leaving no data untouched.
In the coming days, we’ll roll out a new layer of complexity — amplifying both the intensity and offensiveness of our approach. This escalation builds on fakejpeg, a tool developed by @pengfold.
🖼️ fakejpeg generates fake JPEGs on the fly. You "train" it with a collection of existing JPEGs, and once trained, it can produce an arbitrary number of things that look like real JPEGs — perfect for feeding aggressive web crawlers junk 🗑️.

As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, the ocean plays a crucial role in helping to reduce the full impact of human-driven climate change by absorbing roughly a quarter of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity. However, this uptake is far from uniform across the global ocean. A new satellite-based product can now map the ocean carbon sink at unprecedented resolution, offering unique insights into this highly variable and complex component of Earth’s climate system.

For decades, Route 3254 was used by Palestinians and Bedouins to reach the #Ad-Dhariya market. But the traffic bothered the #settlers, so the Apartheid Major General Avi Bluth set up a checkpoint on the road to the market and had some of the stalls destroyed. In order to spare about 1,000 settlers from waiting in line with Palestinians at a checkpoint, a market that serves tens of thousands of people is now being shut down.
Route 3254 in the southern #WestBank had never really attracted settler interest since it was paved in the late 1990s. But in recent weeks, settlers from the South Hebron Hills, led by the toxic head of the regional council, Eliram Azoulay, have launched a new campaign: "The Ad-Dhariya Market is a Security Threat". They handed the narrative off to their loyal allies at “Israel Hayom” newspaper, and they provided with a sensational headline: "Drugs, prostitution, and even weapons: Bedouin residents storm a criminal pirate market”.
But what really bothered the settlers was spelled out clearly in the opening paragraph of the article: "Massive traffic jams have been reported in the Hebron Hills area in recent days, due to thousands of Bedouin residents arriving at a pirate market operating between Eshkolot, Tene Omarim, and Ad-Dhahiriya. The nearby Meitar checkpoint could not handle the pressure, and traffic backed up at the few surrounding checkpoints, which were never intended to accommodate such a volume of vehicles". Link to the “Israel Hayom” article is in the comments.
How did these traffic jams were created? For decades, the Ad-Dhahiriya market has served many Bedouin residents from the negev, who come there to shop. Recently, due to a consumer boycott by the Bedouin communities protesting rampant racism in Beersheba, even more people have begun shopping in the market. At the same time, following October 7th, Israel banned the entry of Palestinian workers. As a result, several dozen Palestinians, trying to make a living, set up roadside stalls along Route 3254. All of this has led to traffic congestion at certain times of day - and that is what upset the settlers from the settlement of Tene Omarim.
Now let us zoom out in order to understand what actually happened there. In the early 1980s, two isolated settlements Eshkolot and Tene Omarim - were established in the southwestern Hebron Hills. Both were built on lands that were looted from the residents of the village of Ad-Dhahiriya by declaring them as "state land". Although these two settlements are relatively small, with a combined population of around 1,700 residents today, the area that the state looted and handed over to them is above 16,000 dunams!
As part of the policy aimed at creating "Jewish continuity", Highway 3254 was paved in the 1990s in order to connect the two settlements, which lie about five kilometers apart. The road is effectively branching out Highway 325, which links the Meitar checkpoint to the settlement of Tene Omarim and was originally intended to continue on to Ad-Dhahiriya. However, the section leading to Ad-Dhahiriya was blocked by the army already in 2001 and has remained closed ever since.
And now we return to the present. The Meitar checkpoint is the checkpoint used by Bedouins that are heading to shop in Ad-Dhahiriya. Meaning, the settlers from Tene Omarim, the residents of Ad-Dhahiriya riding to the checkpoint, and the Bedouins that are coming from the Negev to shop in the market, all use the same road. Now, settlers occasionally find themselves standing in traffic - and even worse, standing in traffic with Arabs! And so, they concocted a story about drugs, prostitution, weapons, and nonsense.
At this point, Major General Avi Bluth entered the picture. On June 8, the Facebook page of the head of the Mount Hebron Regional Council reported that Bluth met with settlers who had "demanded solutions". Two days later, the council head announced that a solution had been implemented: a permanent checkpoint was installed at the junction of Highways 325 and 3254, blocking Bedouin access to the road leading to Ad-Dhahiriya. At the same time, bulldozers were sent to demolish the stalls that were built along the road. Links to the head of the Mount Hebron Regional Council posts are in the comments.
And what about the Bedouins who still want to reach Ad-Dhahiriya? For now, they can take a long detour of several dozen kilometers and approach the town from the north, via Highway 60. But who knows how long that option will remain open. Sooner or later, settlers will likely start complaining that there are too many "Arabs" on Highway 60 as well - and then that route will be closed to them also.
This is how a market that served tens of thousands of Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line - for livelihood and shopping - was destroyed. A gift to the settlers, just so they can drive without traffic jams from the settlement of Tene Omarim to the Meitar checkpoint. After all, they were promised "quality of life”.

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops
A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”
“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.
“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”
In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.
“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.
McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.
In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.
Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.
ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.
ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.
Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Again, I want to establish that I've learned a ton and really appreciate your writings. Thank you!
That looks interesting, although I would be weary of learning a layout that only works on specific keyboards, it will make it hard for you to use a laptop on the go, work in an office with a normal keyboard or any other similar situation.
Thanks for the reminder! While I can't completely ignore the main takeaway, I do find myself only rarely (read: less than 5%) engage with normal keyboards. And, AFAIU, by only adopting the exotic layout for splitting keyboards, I can keep the muscle memory for QWERTY on regular keyboards. Though, please feel free to correct me if I say something that goes against your own experiences.
which btw I strongly recommend you check out wrist and finger stretching exercises as they help a lot
Would you be so kind to share what has worked for your wrist? While there's no reason to assume that your exercises work out for me, I can at least discuss them with the physiotherapist. BTW, to be clear, I've already visited the physiotherapist a number of times and we've discussed exercises that I've eventually incorporated in my daily routine.
Lots of the changes I made (e.g. split ortholinear keyboard) were probably not needed
Question: If we focus on the split ortholinear keyboard, is only the ortholinear aspect (possibly) redundant? Or..., the split itself?
Damn, I thought I had sent the reply and it's been erased.
I'll keep it short, muscle memory for qwerty doesn't go away that easily, at least it didn't for me, but I'm able to type blindly in qwerty (just not touch typing). Still I think that something I can use in my laptop is very useful so I can keep the ergonomics on the go.
I don't have the exercises, it was just something someone told me to do, I'm sure whatever your doctor is telling you would be better.
For the split vs ortholinear I think split makes more difference, whenever I use a normal keyboard I feel this, but never had any pains related to it, it's just more comfortable.

To be honest that would just be the end of the consoles system as there is a reason Sony is selling the PS5 for so cheap.
As much as I understand why Apple shouldn’t be allowed to keep everything in the Apple Store, Sony’s situation isn’t the same.
But what would bother me more is if Sony starts to raise the prices of everything without justification.
I got a Steam Deck and I’m slowly migrating my gaming from Playstation only to Linux/Playstation gaming. Still a Playstation 5 is a great product, especially with kids and its ease of use and great graphics for your bucks.
Maybe it’s because I don’t use it enough but the last Sony console I bought was the absolute opposite of “no fuss”. It was nothing but mandatory unskippable updates and I constantly got signed out and had to sign in and the 2fa app kept changing names. And also all those updates and sign-ins had mandatory EULAS you had to scroll through. Such a hassle.
Edit: also it tried to talk to my Sony tv in some “smart” way over HDMI (so I couldn’t disable it) which would sometimes cause my TV to crash and reboot for several minutes.
For the updates: I put it to sleep. However my power cuts out every now and then. When the power comes back, the ps4 turns itself back on on and makes obnoxious beeping noises, just to tell me the power was cut. The dumb thing is it will stay on that screen until manually dismissed and won’t auto-update until you dismiss that screen, with no timeout. The hassle-free appliance experience!
For your claim that the eulas being easy to skip, keep in mind that sometimes there were back-to-back updates that each required me to agree to a eula. So I would babysit the thing, walk away when it was taking forever, and when I came back it wouldn’t even be ready for gaming. Even windows isn’t that obnoxious.
Also my tv at the time had no way to disable CEC (my new one does, and also doesn’t crash lol).
I don’t understand where the confrontation came from, but I guess if that’s what you want you can have it. I literally told you two posts ago about how it’s not just waiting for 20s and clicking a button. It’s an attended upgrade and scrolling process. I won’t bother quoting what I wrote 3 minutes ago, go scroll up and read it again yourself. No, my microwave does not present me with EULAs when the power goes out.
What “score” are you talking about? Do you take personal offense when a Sony product sucks? Did you invent the PlayStation or something? I was just sharing my lived experience.

These are the highlights of the launch on Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) of ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from Poland to the International Space Station. The mission is called Ignis.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from launch pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, on 25 June 2025.
Sławosz is mission specialist on the Dragon spacecraft. The other crew members are Shubhanshu Shukla from India and Tibor Kapu from Hungary. They fly under the command of Peggy Whitson from USA.
Sponsored by the Polish government and supported by ESA, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MRiT), and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), the mission will include an ambitious technological and scientific programme with several experiments led by ESA and proposed by the Polish space industry.
