Cancer. Got a tongue nodule and neck mass. Treated with radiation and chemo. 35 days Radiation over 7 weeks did a hell of a job chewing up tongue, throat and neck. It killed my taste buds. They gotta regrow. Therapy stopped 4 days ago. Had a bit of taste yesterday but today it's gone.
No! The radiation has basically given me a continuing 2nd degree burn across the back of my tongue. While I can't taste, I still get the "burn" of spicy stuff on that area. Same with carbonated sodas etc.
Unite and Strongly Condemn US Bombing in Iran โ NDFP
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins all peace-loving and democratic forces around the world in condemning in the strongest terms the US imperialist government of Donald Trump for the bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities in the early morning hours of June 22.
The US bombing of Iran, that follows more than one week of missile strikes by the Zionist state of Israel, is a brazen violation of Iranโs national sovereignty and a gross crime against international law.
The pretext about Iranโs program for developing nuclear weapons, that Trump has used to justify the US bombing, is the same justification that Benjamin Netanyahu for firing missiles against Iran. This has been repeatedly dismissed by experts and even by the US intelligence agency as groundless.
The โpreemptive strikesโ carried out by the US and Israel are based on claims similar to the big lie of โweapons of mass destructionโ which the US imperialists used to justify its invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein in more than twenty years ago.
In weaving such a narrative, the US imperialists insists that it alone has the right to determine who can develop and possess nuclear weapons. It also insists on having the unfounded right to impose its will on any country, and to punish anyone that does not bow to its authority based on its nuclear-backed military power.
The US bombing derails the efforts of the Arab community and leading European countries, along with Iran, to push for negotiations to forge a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Trump himself abrogated the non-proliferation treaty in 2018 and has shown no interest in restoring it. Instead, he threatens to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader, calls for the overthrow of the Irani government, and demands its โunconditional surrender.โ
By dropping bombs on Iran, Trump wants to extend his authoritarian style of government beyond the borders of the US. The desire of US President Trump to reign as global king must be condemned and rejected by freedom-loving people of the world.
The US bombing of Iran constitutes an outright war of aggression. The clear objective of this war is for Iran to surrender its sovereignty and the countryโs wealth and resources. In seeking to force Iran to its knees, the US aims to control the vast oil resources of the country and the region.
Iran has all the right to defend its sovereignty and interests against the US-Israel war of aggression. We support the Iranian people as they rise up in their millions against the much detested US imperialist ogre.
By declaring war against Iran, Trump has roused calls for him to be impeached and removed from office, for having done so without congressional approval. In the coming days and weeks, it will certainly galvanize calls for him to be ousted from power. The American people are fed up by his authoritarianism and are ready to take action to put an end to his tyranny. They have the support of all freedom-loving forces around the world.
People all over the world, including the Filipino people, must stand with the people of Iran, as well as with the Palestinian people, in fighting the US-Israel war machine, as it rampages through the Middle East to force nations to bow to its power, and surrender their freedom. In Gaza, the US-supported Israeli bombing has killed close to 60,000 people, maimed hundreds of thousands more, and caused a massive humanitarian crisis characterized by disease and hunger. Israeli occupying forces have been daily killing hundreds of Palestinians in desperate food lines.
Trump must be made to pay for his transgressions. Otherwise, he will only be emboldened to commit even worse crimes as the US imperialists desperately avoid a recession amid a deepening global capitalist crisis, and seek to redivide the world to get the biggest share of the plunder for itself.
In ordering the bombing of Iran, Trump has pushed the world closer to the precipice of a prolonged and more intense armed conflict, that runs the risk of pulling more and more countries into the vortex of a war covering the Middle East and beyond, and causing even greater sufferings on millions upon millions of people, including hundreds of thousands of Filipino migrant workers toiling overseas.
The Filipino proletariat and people must stand firmly against US imperialists wars. They must denounce the puppet Marcos regime for having allowed the US to build more military bases, deploy thousands of US troops, stockpile its weapons and stage one war exercise after another on Philippine soil, air and seas. They must resolutely fight against US imperialist wars, and stand firm and united in demanding an end to US military intervention and military presence in the country.
The Filipino people must organize mass protests to manifest their indignation against the US imperialists and its Israeli Zionist lackeys for the war of aggression against Iran, and to manifest solidarity to the Iranian and Palestinian people as they fight to defend their rights and their land. They must fight the Marcos regime whose subservience has allowed the US to drag the Philippines to its war strategy.
The Party calls on the Filipino people to join and support the New Peopleโs Army and advance the peopleโs war, as the principal form of struggle to fight the puppet Marcos regime and the US-supported reactionary armed forces. By intensifying and expanding the peopleโs war against the US puppet troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Filipino people effectively contributes to the struggle of the people of the world to fight and prevent imperialist war.

Meet Patriot Front Participant and Neo-Nazi David Isaac Hamilton (AKA โHuntโwa Nโwahโ)
Last year, our group received anonymous email tips about a neo-Nazi who we had only known by his online alias, โHuntโwa Nโwah.โ (Initially, he used โHuntwa Nโwahโ without the first apostrophe.) One email we received provided an actual name for โHuntโwa,โ which we worked to verify. โHuntโwaโ is David Isaac Hamilton (DOB 8/24/2005). Hamilton is affiliated with the neo-Nazi cult of โAryanityโ as well as Patriot Front, a racist and fascist organization that operates nationally. Hamilton now goes by โHunterโ online. Although he is from Georgia, he may how be spending time in Tennessee.

There are policies that the left and the right both agree on. But those aren't the centrist policies.
There are policies that the left loves and the right hates, because the left needs them to survive, and policies that the right loves and the left hates, because cruelty.
Centrists are politicians that siphon away the political power of those that vote to survive, and use that power to enact the cruel policies desired by the right.
As in: Get elected by Black people... then make police brutality and mass incarceration *worse*.๐คก
Or block ending the filibuster.๐คก
Maybe a politician really does think that the problem with the US is that we are *not cruel enough* to Black people. That there should be *more* Black people in jail, and *more* cops, and *fewer* libraries, and *worse* schools.๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
So let them get elected by the people on the right that believe that.

Remember, the main reason so many firms push you to use their apps when you can do the same stuff via their websites is that apps typically give them far more insight into your activities on your phone, even often unrelated to that app. So when you can use the websites, it's often best to say NO to the apps.
"The app is free, it takes seconds to sign up and you'll save $5 on your next transaction." "Honey, I work in system administration. Do you know how much data these apps hoover to your corporate office? Your WhatsApp messages, your dating profiles, your Amazon transactions the last six months? Your bank accounts aren't in the feed, but who you bank with, where you bank at and any texts or emails reporting your balances certainly are. Your friends and family, where they live, what schools and restaurants you all go to, your medical bills, ANY bills that serve late notices to you for that matter..."
(I don't have that down memorized, but it's easy to spontaneously keep going. Especially Android, if you give an app all default permissions, it can send anything local to your phone to a third party, no matter what app it is.)
It's that bad where if a business insists on payment through an app or that I leave, I go buy tacos somewhere the hell else.
Iโve been doing this as much as possible, but sometimes you run into the most absurd thing youโve ever seen, like the time I walked into a burrito place, saw a guy making a quesadilla, and decided to order one at the counter, only to be told that you could only order quesadillas from the app. By the person at the counter. Telling me to my face. That I could only order the product I was five feet from via an app.
this is one of my main jams in life. Have been a sysadmin since the mid 90s.
Ive been shouting about how "apps" are "programs" and "devices" are "Personal Computers" for years. When you click "ok" on an app, you are agreeing to a philosophical change that allows those vendors to reach far outside the usual limits of what ethical software does.
Today, the "cellphoneification" of the desktop OS is almost done, thanks to smartphones pushing billions to think this is normal, ethical.
top tip: if a website tells you something's only available in the app, turn on desktop view mode to trick it into thinking you're actually at a computer, not on a phone. You might have to zoom and scroll around a bit more, but generally everything actually works.

It's worth noting that both the Obama and Biden administration also pushed against nationwide injunctions, such as the ones issued by a judge in Texas that the GOP always ran to for attempts to block Obamacare, for gun issues, etc. Yes, the Supreme Court waited until now to push back on nationwide injunctions, but in the future the GOP is likely to have buyer's remorse on this when the tables are turned.
@ChuckMcManis They'll turn. One way or another. Not necessarily as peacefully as usual, but they'll turn. Especially if Democrats stop behaving like idiots.
I agree that one has to always make the assumption, that in time (where time may be measured in decades or centuries) things will change. We did an interesting exercise in high school history where the teacher asked us to imagine a United States where the Confederacy had won. Like the current administration it did things to prevent reversion to constitutional principles. I'd love to get back to the rule of law in my lifetime but will settle for in my kid's lifetime.
This Supreme Court doesn't give a shit about respecting precedent. Even their own precedent they just established within the last few years. Hence as you just said, they have repeatedly upheld nationwide injunctions ... Until now, when it's to their advantage to block them. There's nothing stopping them from just overturning themselves the moment it allows someone to slow or stop a liberal policy that fash don't like.
The 12 days of fighting between Iran and Israel, along with the U.S. intervention, left a deep impact on all three countries. Where do each stand now that the fighting has stopped, and what comes next?

00:00 Intro 00:41 Sponsor: Monitor and secure your internet connection with Safing 01:45 How Manjaro works 03:39 Security problems 05:20 Packaging non-stable changes without talking with upstream 07:30 AUR integration and issues 09:55 Bad image, and bad decisions 12:43 What's the issue? 14:46 Sponsor: Get a device that's fully Linux compatible with Tuxedo 15:53 Support the channel
The first problem, which might seem small, is in how the company handles very basic stuff, like security certificates.
Manjaro has let their certificates expire 4 times now. It might seem like a very small issue, but it's extremely basic. Renewing certificates is extremely easy, and can be automated. Manjaro's inability to anticipate this or automate it isn't a good sign in terms of how seriously they take their security.
Manjaro also has the habit of trying to release things that aren't ready, without checking with the upstream devs first. One example is with the Asahi Linux project, where Manjaro decided that having Apple Silicon support early would be cool, and shipped a broken kernel.
This is what led to the "don't ship it" manifesto from various developers, and probably what led the Bottles developer to also ask distros to not repackage their software without talking to them first.
Another problem that arose was the use of the AUR in Manjaro. Except the AUR doesn't really work well on Manjaro. Because the AUR assumes you're using the latest Arch software, with the latest versions Arch releases. Which Manjaro doesn't, because they hold back packages for testing. Which means that installing stuff from the AUR can seriously break your Manjaro system if you're not careful.
Manjaro's AUR helper had a bug in it, that sent thousands of requests to the AUR's servers for each Manjaro user. This resulted in an involuntary DDOS attack, short for distributed denial of service
And then there are a few other issues. The project lead wanted to buy a new laptop using Manjaro funds, for about 2000โฌ. The treasurer refused the expense, because it went against Manjaro's policy.
This led to an argument with the project lead, and surfaced other expenses that hadn't been discussed according to Manjaro's Policy, and led the treasurer to leave the company, leaving the project lead in full control of all the community funds.
Then Manjaro announced that they would be shipping SoftMaker office by default instead of LibreOffice. Replacing an open source component with a proprietary one isn't really something you'd expect from a Linux distribution.
Manjaro has also often been accused of not contributing to upstream, especially on the mobile front. Someone involved in the Pine64 community points out that the fact that most mobile Pine64 projects are starting to falter is due to the fact that only Manjaro is a supported distribution for the Pinephone, where before there were a myriad of community editions, and that Manjaro doesn't really contribute to supporting the hardware.
In March 2025, militants launched coordinated attacks on Alawite communities such as Tartous and Latakia. The bombings left dozens dead and sent a chill through Christian towns along the coast. Many saw it as a prelude โ a test run by extremists probing the strength of Syriaโs new government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa. Yet after Sundayโs bombing, instead of condemning it as a targeted attack on Christians, the UNโs special envoy for Syria, Geir Pederson, characterised it as a result of general instability, and even called for โrestraintโ from all parties.
To be clear, what we are witnessing is the systematic targeting of nearly all religious minorities in Syria โ Christians, Druze, Ismailis, Yazidis, Alawites and Shiites โ by violent Islamist factions. To call it โsectarian violenceโ is to imply mutuality where there is none. Minority victims are not aggressors. They are certainly not the ones who need to show โrestraintโ.
There are hundreds of gospels, and they keep finding them. And the gospels are basically fan fiction about this #Jesus character. They didn't have TVs, but fandoms are literally older than time. They turn into religions. But according to many of the gospels, Jesus wasn't a nice guy and he'd throw fits if he didn't get his way.
