EXCLUSIVE: European Researcher Bernadette Conrads Uncovers the Shadowy Reach of USAID Across Europe — Deep State Dollars, Election Meddling, and Censorship Campaigns Exposed
In an explosive sit-down interview with The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft back in March, European researcher Bernadette Conrads delivered a chilling exposé on the sprawling influence of USAID and its deep state-funded allies operating across the European continent.
Conrads, who currently serves as Head of Communications for MEP Petr Bystron of Germany’s populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), has spent the last five years tracing a tangled web of taxpayer-funded NGOs, censorship initiatives, and foreign election interference stretching from Washington, D.C. to Brussels. minds.com/newsfeed/17864936001…

FF16 becomes too repetitive with fights. Same algorithm over and over. They should learn from the Neir Replicant and Automata folks how to do a game right
This data is a little bit old, but it still gives a pretty good sense of just how insanely rich these plutocrats have gotten over the past decade, and just how little things have improved for the rest of us.
Jerome “Too Late” Powell, and his entire Board, should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to the United States. They have one of the easiest, yet most prestigious, jobs in America, and they have FAILED — And continue to do so. If they were doing their job properly, our Country would be saving Trillions of Dollars in Interest Cost. The Board just sits there and watches, so they are equally to blame. We should be paying 1% Interest, or better!

To show people how spoiled Countries have become with respect to the United States of America, and I have great respect for Japan, they won’t take our RICE, and yet they have a massive rice shortage. In other words, we’ll just be sending them a letter, and we love having them as a Trading Partner for many years to come.
I apologize for the long wait on the Faith Leaders Conference Call. AT&T ought to get its act together. Please pass along the word to the tens of thousands of people who are there. We may have to reschedule the call, but we’ll use another carrier the next time. AT&T obviously doesn’t know what they’re doing!
> Sweden set up a eugenics plan, grounded in the science of racial biology, between 1934 and 1976. “They wanted to get rid of a certain type of people: The weaker ones”. > The first one she read was a 13-year-old girl whose priest believed she was not concentrating in confirmation classes well enough, so they decided to sterilise her.
@hj tbh what we saw of Sweden so far, Germany has waaaaaay more black and brown foreigners. and then there's France where seeing a white non-tourist in Paris is suspicious.
I know some of you niggers talk to d0c on your silly snapcord or whatever. Please tell him I miss him and hope he is doing well and to not fuck up his relationship because he will never find another woman to love him.

“Meanwhile, the band, Bob Vylan, who had been due to tour the US later this year, have had their visas revoked. “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” said Christopher Landau, the deputy secretary of state.” Odd. They let Netanyahu in and he doesn’t just glorify violence. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza

AI slop classic, somebody files a bug report for a vuln, doesn’t disclose they’ve used AI when asked, argues in the comments - and includes his AI prompt in the paste.
I think the open source movement is in serious trouble due to generative AI, as maintainers are going to get flooded with torrents of bad code and analysis the longer the AI hype train continues.
It’s exhausting and unsustainable if an entire generation are introduced to not knowing or caring about what they are doing.
We can entrench to some degree, but it will make development more brittle, and it runs against cultural pressures towards figuring out more open social contracts. Pretty tricky, indeed.
I’ve seen well meaning contributors *champion* AI for the FOSS projects they work with… and for what? Most FOSS doesn’t *need* productivity. And it certainly doesn’t need huge black spots of code with no real owners because one person shovelled in more features than they could ever reasonably understand or support. 🫠

Canada restarted trade negotiations with the U.S. after Prime Minister Mark Carney dropped a proposed digital tax on major American tech companies. The decision followed President Trump’s suspension of talks in response to the tax.
"Dozens of Israeli settlers torched a security site and clashed with the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank late Sunday, deepening a growing internal rift within "Israel" amid rising settler violence against Palestinians" The article doesn't really say what caused this, but it is good news that IOF and settlers are turning on each other. Really good news. I hope it spreads.
Settler violence mainly aimed at Palestinians has now targeted the IOF, with rioters torching a military post and assaulting soldiers in the occupied West Bank.
Here's the motivation for the settlers rioting: "Palestinian journalist Azzam Abu al-Adas said that settlers are waging an ‘uprising’ against the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank, demanding more freedom in attacks against Palestinians" "Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has reached unprecedented levels in 2025"
I've been using this old PA. It's pretty cool. A Kustom Profile System 2 from the late seventies. 5 channels, 150W a side, built in effects. It belongs to a guy named Jazzy P. He paid $400 for it way back when. I don't know if I could use it with #GreyWails but for acoustic and solo stuff it's really great.
I fixed the effects a while back. There's a separate digital module that had bad contact to the main board. DeOxit is magic, did I ever tell you that?
I noticed something was rattling around in one of the speakers. What the hell?
So I took the connector panel off the back and found that the choke for the horn had fallen off the board. One of the wire ends had never been soldered. No indication at all that it had ever come through the back side of the board and the whole tinned end was still there. A bunch of the magnet wire had come unrolled from the spindle, wrapped around some speaker wires and unplugged both wires from the horn.
Re-wrap the choke, remove the old solder, solder the loose end, RTV the choke to the board. Put it back together.
Never noticed the horn wasn't working. I guess there was enough high end to cover for it from the other speaker.
@benda We're a cover band. Don't have any recorded stuff. You can find videos of us live. But on assbook, so I don't know what all that looks like. There's a lady named Maureen Little that posts video of us. Really nice person, mechanical engineer, she's landscaped her place into a kind of magical trail.

Re-watching the first season of #StrangeNewWorlds and I think I can say that this spin-off, above all the others... above Picard, above Discovery, above TNG, DS9, Voyager even, even above Enterprise and Lower Decks....

An Israeli court has postponed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's testimony in his corruption trial after he requested a delay with the support of President Donald Trump.
"A Reuters investigation has uncovered a clear chain of command linking the March massacres of Syrian Alawites to armed factions now operating under the authority of Syria’s new government in Damascus. One faction, the 400 Division, is an elite unit of HTS" "Nearly half of these factions have been under international sanctions for years due to human rights violations, such as killings, kidnappings, and sexual violence"
Reuters has concluded that at least a dozen armed groups, including foreign fighters, now operating under the new government's command, were involved in the March killings.
#Syria #HTS #sectarianviolence A Breaking News item on Al Mayadeen reads: 20:54 - White House: Trump will sign executive order to terminate Syria sanctions
In 2019 Trump slaps on the Cesar Sanctions on Syria, crippling their economy and destroying the Country's future. From 2011 US/Turkey/Israel/Qatar/UAE have been funding HTS + other headchoppers, in order to destabilise and finally overturn Syria's govt. Syria is no more and now Trump lifts the sanctions. The US Empire for you.

Tagesschau: Ärzte ohne Grenzen - Scharfe Kritik an Gaza-Hilfe - "getarntes Massaker"
Immer wieder gibt es Berichte über Schüsse nahe den Verteilzentren der privaten GHF-Stiftung im Gazastreifen. Die UN gehen von Hunderten Toten aus. Mit harten Worten fordern Hilfsorganisationen die Rückkehr zum alten System der Verteilung.
Die von den USA unterstützte Privatstiftung "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" (GHF), die im Gazastreifen Verteilzentren für Hilfsgüter betreibt, ist höchst umstritten. Immer wieder werden Palästinenser, die zu den Zentren kommen, um Lebensmittel zu erhalten, erschossen. Die Hilfsorganisation Ärzte ohne Grenzen (MSF) wirft der GHF deshalb vor, Hilfsbedürftige in "Todesfallen" zu locken. Sie forderte ein Ende der umstrittenen Hilfsmaßnahmen... (weiter)

Is it possible to work on AI as a computer scientist and not reinforce the hype?
Question for @alex at a great event at the @Weizenbaum_Institut. She has “no good news”. Among other concerns, the hype is creating a monoculture in research that draws away resources for actually useful topics.
Very much looking forward to reading “The AI Con” by her and fabulous @emilymbender!
Will use “synthetic content extrusion machine” from now on.
Dass in #München zum Christopher Street Day die Regenbogenflagge über der #Staatskanzlei wehte, kommentierte #Klöckner mit den Worten: "Ich bin Präsidentin des Deutschen #Bundestags und nicht der bayrischen Staatskanzlei."
Carola Ebhardt: Das ist eine fatale Entscheidung, denn sie hat weitreichende symbolische und gesellschaftlich-politische Konsequenzen. Das #Verbot, die Regenbogenflagge auf dem Sitz des Bundestags zu hissen, bedeutet, dass sich der Staat nicht mehr öffentlich sichtbar an die Seite diskriminierter Menschen und Minderheiten stellt. Die Regenbogenflagge ist ein Symbol für die Einhaltung von Menschenrechten. Das wird mit dieser Entscheidung fast schon mit Füßen getreten. Hinzu kommt noch, dass den Bundestagsbediensteten untersagt wurde, offiziell mit einer Gruppe am #CSD teilzunehmen. All das schwächt den Kampf gegen #Diskriminierung total – und das in einer Zeit, in der die Angriffe gegen #Minderheiten stark zunehmen.
Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner will zum Berliner CSD nicht die Regenbogenflagge auf dem Reichstagsgebäude hissen. Die Vorsitzenden der SPDqueer, Carola Ebhardt und Oliver Strotzer, kritisieren das deutlich.
