Author of a masterful study on the CIA and the cultural Cold War, British historian Frances Stonor Saunders provided a detailed account for The Independent of the CIA’s covert role in sponsoring Abstract Expressionist painting in the United States.
Since 2020, direct action group Palestine Action have documented their operations to dismantle the companies and infrastructure supplying weapons to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
'There are few differences between the lies told to ignite the war with Iraq and the lies told to ignite a war with Iran. The assessments of our intelligence agencies and international bodies are, as they were during the calls to invade Iraq, airily dismissed for hallucinations.'
The lies told to ignite the war with Iraq have been resurrected to ignite a war with Iran. The assessments of intelligence agencies and international bodies are dismissed, replaced by hallucinations.

@disisdeguey Igual que yo. Hace 15 años que no tengo tele. Y nunca he pagado por ninguna plataforma audiovisual, pero esto lo vale... Aviso: es sólo en inglés...
"BBC won't re-show Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance after 'deeply offensive comments'"
Offensive to whom? The IDF? Well, those fuckers are literally killing people seeking aid as "everything is Hamas'".
So, fuck them.
"The Haaretz investigation, published on Friday, June 27, 2025, details a practice where soldiers would use live fire, including from tanks and grenade launchers, to deter crowds from gathering at aid sites before and after official distribution times. One soldier described the areas as "killing fields," stating that "between one and five people were killed every day" at his location. The soldiers who spoke to Haaretz reportedly indicated that these actions were intended to control the crowds."
What I find odd is that previous aid distribution agencies could.generally manage to distribute aid without heavy artillery and small arms fire.

A week or two ago I made a post outlining all the ways in which Bluesky was failing - or actively harming - its marginalized users. Two days ago, Bluesky banned Lexi Alexander, a Palestinian-American leftist filmmaker who had tens of thousands of followers on Bluesky. She was permanently banned without so much as being given a warning - as is common on Bluesky. Despite mass backlash, Bluesky staff have refused to reinstate her account or even to so much as explain their reasoning for banning her.
This is unforgivable. Bluesky staff have had every chance to listen to the grievances of their marginalized & leftist users. Instead they've chosen - repeatedly - to cozy up to the right and suppress us in the name of white comfort. This is a site that bans Palestinians and leftists without explanation while going out of its way to platform violent bigots like Jesse Singal and JD Vance - in the former case, even going so far as to ban his critics and revise the rules to accommodate him. The myth of a progressive Bluesky is dead.
I'm not going to say that nobody should be using Bluesky, because unfortunately, niche platforms like Mastodon simply do not allow us to reach as many people as we can elsewhere. But it's well past time that we stopped pretending that Bluesky is morally superior to Twitter instead of just being a different flavor of white supremacist tech bro hell.
Edit: After three days, Lexi Alexander has finally been unsuspended. Thanks to everyone who helped spread the word here and on Bluesky!
Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call and get more Bluesky users to consider at the very least making a backup account on Mastodon.
A brief list of the Bluesky offenses that I'm personally aware of:
- Welcomed Jesse Singal, banned his critics, and changed the rules to justify him staying - Staff has publicly mocked people for complaining about Singal's presence (now that he's been personally cited in anti-trans legislation, hailey.at is blocking anybody who asks her to apologize) - Spent a year banning Palestinians (even those who did their best to be unobtrusive and not spam the site) for fundraising while trying to survive a genocide, recently revised its rules to justify these bans - Banned someone for making a bot that exposed the head of T&S's likes (which are public) - Welcomed & verified JD Vance - Has repeatedly banned smaller leftist accounts (my own included) without any warning or explanation - Bluesky CEO has said she would welcome Trump himself to the site - Claims to value 'volunteer moderation', but consistently deletes leftist blocklists of Zionists, anti-Palestinian racists, etc - while leaving lists of Palestinians & leftists that accuse them of being scammers / bots up.
it's knowledge that one of Bluesky CEO is a personnal friend of Netanyahu's family. I found out when BS came out I decided to not go in there. #blueskycensorship
@disisdeguey Really?? I didn't know that. That's fucked & explains a lot. You have any handy sources on that? Would be useful to show others on Bluesky.
There was some info about it when BS started and everyone on Palestine movement was moving there. I shared it here but I clean my TL every month now. I'll find the info and share it here.
Here in spanish they talk about how he is a "personnal friend of Netayanhu's family" also a Steve Bannon supporter.
"El otro fundador de Blockchain Capital está tan cerca del arquetipo de criptobro que parece una caricatura. Se llama Brock Pierce, asesoró a Nayib Bukele para convertir Bitcoin en moneda oficial en El Salvador, es amigo personal de la familia Netanyahu y colaboró durante años con Steve Bannon, el estratega de la primera época de Trump. Además, Pierce creó la criptomoneda Tether, que está siendo investigada por blanqueo de capitales" (vía El Salto)
Bluesky attracts millions, but doubts about transparency and decentralization are growing. Critics question the ownership structure and long-term independence.
Brock Pierce, who Yair Netanyahu reportedly met with during his Puerto Rico stay, is a billionaire and crypto entrepreneur who was previously in contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Tondokument: Prof. Bernd Stegemann und Prof. Rupert Scholz über Identitätspolitik und Meinungsfreiheit
In unserer Sendung „#Tondokument“ bringen wir zwei Vorträge, die unter der Leitfrage stehen: „#Meinungsfreiheit – ein #Grundrecht in Gefahr?“ Aufgenommen wurden sie beim gleichnamigen Symposium der „Kritischen Richter und Staatsanwälte“ am 16. November 2024 in Halle. Der emeritierte Professor für Öffentliches Recht an der Universität München, Rupert #Scholz, sprach über die aktuellen Gefahren für die Meinungsfreiheit in Deutschland. Zuvor hören Sie ein Referat von Bernd #Stegemann, Professor für Theatergeschichte an der Berliner Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch, über „#Identitätspolitik als Treiber autoritärer Entwicklungen“.
What does a 2000 photo of Edward Said throwing a rock at the wall separating newly-liberated southern Lebanon and Israel have in common with the LA protests?
The thing about monopoly of violence is, well, that the state has the monopoly on violence. Journalism can be better at recognising that fact instead of wasting time talking about ‘violent protests'.
Civilians never have the monopoly on violence. The state always does.
The same goes with unseen versus seen violence. You may think that some person with a rock at a protest is the violent one, but to do that you need to erase the daily mass violence inflicted by the state on citizens and non-citizens.
You need to be able to compare a rock thrown by a protester with tanks and jets and mass incarceration and ICE kidnapping children and border cops letting innocent people die of thirst and teargas and torture and more.
Israeli forces had just withdrawn from southern Lebanon, the territory they had been occupying since 1982. Their occupation was marked by widespread torture, disappearances and murder. Edward Said went there a few weeks after those same troops withdrew.
Back then, we were still learning of the horrors of the 18-year-long occupation. The Khiam prison (look it up) had just been liberated, and so much was still being discovered. Israel had left thousands of mines around.
Mir sind an meinen Telefonen immer die Klinkenbuchsen kaputtgegangen, das Problem habe ich mit Blauzahn nicht. Und Blauzahn-Kopfhörer halten bei mir bisher auch länger, die bekommen nämlich keinen Kabelbruch.
Ich finde das Konzept "kabelloser Kopfhörer" eigentlich auch kacke, aber es funktioniert bei mir extrem viel besser.
Möglicherweise bei einigen Zuhausis unbeliebte Meinung: Blauzahn ist allein deswegen um Längen besser, weil ich mich nicht ständig mir irgendwelchen blöden Kabeln rumärgern muss.
Kabel gehen vor allem auch gerne mal kaputt, zumindest bei der Sorte Kopfhörer die man im allgemeinen unterwegs benutzt (solange man nicht auch unterwegs zu den dicken Mickymäusen greift, die haben ja viel dickere Kabel).
On June 24, the British government released its “National Security Strategy 2025: Security for the British People in a Dangerous World.”
The world has changed, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared in the document’s Foreword.
The UK’s designation of Hamas, and possibly Palestine Action, as “terrorist” organizations shows that the proscription regime is not about preventing terrorism but silencing political views and free expression.
Agreed. His computer metaphor is a bit askew, and it's not clear to me if nature was what he actually had in mind when talking about "hardware". Anyway, we do have choices. The mega-capitalist oligarchy hasn't come over us by some god's unescapable will.
I also assumed he'd talk about nature and planetary limits when he mentioned 'hardware'. But he's completely ignoring that, and assuming we can have more of the usual economic growth, with some tweaks. Ain't gonna happen long term. Forced change by nature, as @Tom Grzybow said.

Die britischen Übersee-Kolonien mit mehrheitlich europäisch-stämmiger Bevölkerung (USA, Kanada, Australien usw.) sind nur deswegen keine Kolonien mehr, weil sie irgendwann unabhängig geworden sind. Der kolonisierten Bevölkerung hat das nicht wirklich geholfen.
Wer sind eigentlich diese "Linksliberalen" in der heutigen Parteienlandschaft? Bei Grünen-Wählern rennt man damit ja eher offene Türen ein (und den Parteiführungen ist das Thema in der Regel zumindest bekannt), und rechts davon sehe ich nur autoritäre Parteien die bestenfalls wirtschaftsliberal sind.
Die ganze Israel Palästina Situation ist so fickend kompliziert, dass sie sich nicht in einem Mem abbilden lässt. Und Israel als monoethnischen jüdischen Staat darzustellen ist Quatsch.
Ändere meinen Verstand
(Womit ich die scheiße die die israelische Regierung baut auf keinen Fall entschuldigen will)
Israel ist ein Ethnostaat und zudem auch als jüdischer Staat (nicht säkularer Staat) definiert.
Es ist ähnlich wie in Apartheid Südafrika, wo die Macht einzig von einer eingewanderten Ethnie gehalten wird und die native Bevölkerung als Menschen zweiter Klasse mit weniger Rechten existieren.
Judentum ist halt eine Ethnoreligion und soweit ich weiß sehen die meisten Juden das auch so - Konvertiten gibt es extrem selten und Missionierung in irgendeiner Form ist auch nicht wirklich vorgesehen. Ich kann mir auch schlecht vorstellen, dass Palästinenser mit Kusshand aufgenommen würden, wenn sie massenhaft zum Judentum übertreten würden.

I often see people take "don't break userspace" at face value, in the same way I see "UNIX philosophy", it might be time to actually explain what this was supposed to mean
It's not that complicated. Ensure that the kernel has stable APIs, interfaces, and system calls that behave the same way over time so that your applications on user space don't break after a kernel update
Referring to the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Trump said, 'You see the lines of people just to get one meal? It's too bad,' adding that the U.S. is 'working on Gaza and trying to get it taken care of'

it's kinda funny how #Kagi which various people complained about having AI features as well... is actually better on this front.
Like... if you search with Kagi, it never does an automatic AI answer. ONLY if you press the button or add a question mark at the end of your query.
Also with Kagi, even though it's not doing any ai without user asking for it, you can easily remove any of the ai buttons using the custom css feature. codeberg.org/zerodogg/kagi-no-… (thx to @zerodogg for making it)
DuckDuckGo does have AI searches turned on automatically. You have Opt-Out. To do that, click on the little gear thingy "after" you search for something, click All Search Settings, then AI Features, and then click off and Never. But at least you can do it.
I use DDG as my search engine, right in the address bar, and I never see AI results. I just ran one of these against the other and got the exact same results, and just as fast. I don't understand.
@alice @ahimsa_pdx I created a search engine configuration for Firefox that disables AI, Smart Filter, Ads, and uses OpenStreetMap instead of Bing. You can easily import it by vising the page below, and right-click on the URL bar and select "Add DuckDuckGo (OSM|NewTab|No Filter/Ads/AI)"
Want to create your own? Click on "Create/Submit Plugin" on the right, and create your own. You can base it off mine by putting "123445" in the top of the "Create/Submit Plugin" page and then edit the URLs in the form.
I live in Illinois, USA, outside the St. Louis area. Below I'll talk about my technology and creative interests, and a bit about me personally. I'm going to hashtag the heck out of this post.
the whole "deadbeef" thing is the magic number from #Solaris for freed memory. I simply chose .monster TLD because it seemed cool and I like "extended" TLDs.
I have been using a OpenBSD, #NetBSD, or #GNU/#Linux since the late 1990s as a primary workstation. I used macOS from 2020 to 2025, switching to the #KDE neon distro (KDE plasma is amazing and KDE isn't bloated anymore, yay!).
My current career is as a #pentester where I break into web applications, IP networks, mobile applications (especially #Android), and people to their face or over the phone; code #malware; write documentation; and enjoy helping clients in a third party contractor/consultant role. I started that job change in 2020, when I earned the #OSCP certification at the height of "#infosec twitter" when I did well there.
Previously I worked for about 20 years as a senior-level programmer, and systems, infrastructure, and database administrator. Burnout was very real and I was extremely bored/unfulfilled.
Now that programming and sysadmin stuff isn't my career, I find I enjoy programming and tinkering again.
I am a big fan of NetBSD and always have been. I am not a huge fan of GNU/Linux but I do appreciate things "just working", even if it is full of closed-source binary blobs and other garbage. It was fun in the 1990s.
I know many programming languages but have been paid professionally to code in #C, #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #Java, and #Groovy for big commercial entities like eBay, small companies, and the US government.
I've maintained 99.99% uptime for a 60MM+ platform for years, including failover and backups (that were regularly tested... you test your failover and backups, right?!).
I always wanted to be a cool C and low-level programmer, which I thought for the longest time was being a kernel programmer, but now I know that isn't the life for me.
Emacs is something I've enjoyed since the beginning and I still can't code a #Lisp well. I'd love to be a cool #lisper with #CommonLisp, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm on the #c64 and #embedded #retrocomputing train now.
For #art, I like #acrylic and #watercolor painting. I rarely do it, but think about it a lot and love it when I do it. I don't have any skill or talent, but that's not the point. It's for me and no one else.
For #computing, I am venturing into #C64 #demoscene programming and exploration. Not only was I too poor to get one when I was little but I sorta forgot about it over time. The desire to do cool things in a restricted environment where folks are playing in the sandbox, too, is very exciting and attractive to me. I don't know how to code the #Commodore64 stuff yet, but will! Learning the assembly language (I have zero desire to code in BASIC again and I can just code assembly).
I live with my soulmate and our five amazing cats in a small town outside St. Louis living a quiet life. Just doing our jobs, taking care of daily life stuff, and enjoying each other and life as much as we can. Ups and downs of life chaos, like anyone else, but we're doing alright!
We enjoy exploring places within driving distance and there are a lot of places to go to.
Currently, we're really into playing two-player games together and just started collecting #boardgames. Right now, we're really digging #SkyTeam, #RoyalGameOfUr, #ForrestShuffle, #SentinelsOfTheMultiverse, and this magnet game I don't know the name of. We have #SpiritIsland and #ArcNova to unwrap and learn. We tried really really hard to get into #ArkhamHorrorTheCardGame but the rules are too complicated and confusing, where it felt like we were doing the wrong thing all the time.
I am 46. I grew up loving Star Wars, Star Trek, #SciFi, reading novels non-stop, horror, and watching movies. I collect classic SciFi books from 1960s and 1970s.
I would perhaps describe myself as an extremely curious person, that loves #puzzles and #mysteries, #exploration, figuring out #HumanBehavior like I'm an alien studying humans (I'm good at it, it turns out), that has a keen eye for detail, remembering random little things, and a good listener. I'm fairly adaptable and fluid in most things, which works well for me. My brain works differently than a lot of people, and while frustrating a lot of the time for things I don't understand fully, it is me and serves me well in niches.
Making people laugh makes me happy. I am a #hacker and #tinkerer.

Tonight we saw a GREAT VICTORY in the Senate with the “GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,” but, it wouldn’t have happened without the Fantastic Work of Senator Rick Scott, Senator Mike Lee, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Cynthia Lummis. They, along with all of the other Republican Patriots who voted for the Bill, are people who truly love our Country! As President of the USA, I am proud of them all, and look forward to working with them to GROW OUR ECONOMY, REDUCE WASTEFUL SPENDING, SECURE OUR BORDER, FIGHT FOR OUR MILITARY/VETS, ENSURE THAT OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM HELPS THOSE WHO TRULY NEED IT, PROTECT OUR SECOND AMENDMENT, AND SO MUCH MORE. GOD BLESS AMERICA &, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
This morning, as I was preparing our breakfast of pottage and stale bread, my 3-year-old tugged at my doublet and asked with furrowed brow:
‘Father, is it not true that in the absence of a sovereign power—whether it be Parliamentarian or Royalist—man is thrust into a condition of perpetual conflict, a war of all against all? And if so, are we not living amidst the very Leviathan Hobbes warned us of, yet without its unifying force?’
I nearly dropped the trencher. It’s moments like these that remind me: even the littlest among us can perceive the chaos of the Commonwealth when the bonds of social contract fray.
