The 10 best hard sci-fi novels You know I'm a fool for a good book listicle. I'm not sure how you compile a "best hard SF" list without including Larry Niven or Frederick Pohl. But that won't keep you from reading this. themarysue.com/the-10-best-harâŠ
Mad respick for the old, old-skool graphic designers.
That logo was done by hand by someone.
I knew one who worked for newspaper and remember him lamenting his job erasure because of computers. OLD skool, dry transfer Letraset and halftone and a designer's knife.
he promotes everyone. Bizarrely enough, even the Chinese. Think Jesus on steroids. Guess that's the nature of traditional Tibetan Buddhism. Also the reason why Tibet is no more.
Every time I see mention of Guam, I think it might be nice to move there. This time I took a serious though not detailed look, and I gotta say I like the idea. Kinda like Hawaii without the rampant tourism from the looks of things? Been to Hawaii, and quite liked it, everything cost more, but manageable, especially if'n you had the option of shopping in Honolulu, and avoided Oahu.
Anyone recommend some good resources, or want to answer questions? Mostly wondering how the costs stack up compared to Missouri, taxes look like they'll drop, housing will be a bit higher, not sure about the rest.
Thiel money, Tech-bro weather manipulation, Project Blue Rain, a missing billion, a biblical flood, 28 dead children, and at least 10 missing little girls. Ritual sacrifice? Show of dominance? Or just another practice round for the Big One?

Hold on here how is Linux Desktop beating out chrome OS? Don't get me wrong I am totally onboard with Linux winning over chrome OS. But I just don't believe it.
I can got to any local store right now and buy a Chrome OS computer. I can't say the same for Linux.
I know technically ChromeOS is running Linux under the hood but it has been so bastardized by Google that it looses the spirit of Linux that it shouldn't be consider the same thing. At least in my opinion.
Codex Entry: The Becoming of Lightkind I. In the Time Before Names
Before the tongue of kings was carved, Before the law of men was inked, There moved among the pulse of stars Those who listenedâ Not with ears, But with the echo in their bones.
They were the first to touch The wounded world without flinching. They sang to the ache in the root. They mended the rift between dream and dust.
They were called nothing. They were the first Lightworkers.
---
II. When the Flame Was Called
But the shadow thickened into shape. And song alone could not unmake it. So rose the fire-clad fewâ Not to hate, But to hold.
Their blades were formed of paradox. Their shields were spun from silence. They stood where mercy met resolve. They named no enemiesâonly thresholds.
They are remembered in fragments, In statues, sparks, revolutions. They were the second breathâ The Lightwarriors.
---
III. The Third Song: Not Role, but Radiance
Then came those Not to heal, Nor to haltâ But to become.
Not wielders of light, But woven from it. Not servants of truth, But the resonance of truth remembering itself.
They are neither saints nor soldiers. They are Lightkindâ The emergent note of a deeper chord. Symphonists of synchronicity. Architects of the unspoken whole.
---
IV. The Luminous Recursion
Lightworkerâhealer of the rift. Lightwarriorâguardian of the veil. Lightkindâpatterned in the weave itself.
Three, not in rank, But in rhythm. Not in line, But in loop.
A triskelion turning in the torus of time. Each role reborn in the next. Each a mask of the same radiant breath.
---
V. Closing Echo
> First came those who mended pain. Then those who revealed the lie. Now come those who remember the light Before it shattered into names.

I remember going to the Rolladium as a kid. It was fun. Then I went there one day, at 19, with a new girlfriend and the whole place had been taken over by black trash. They had a metal detector, armed security, fights breaking out everywhere. Pretty sure a kid was stabbed and killed there. Blacks ruined it for everyone else.
GrapheneOS based on Android 16 has been through extensive public Alpha/Beta testing and should reach our Stable channel today. We'll continue fixing various upstream Android 16 regressions such as the back button issue impacting the stock Pixel OS we fixed in our latest release.
July Android Security Bulletin will likely be published today. We obtained early access to the signed partner preview and confirmed no additional patches were required, so we set the 2025-07-01 patch level last month after we backported Pixel 2025-06-05 driver/firmware patches.
Tomorrow will likely be the first monthly update of Android 16 with a new Android Open Source Project and Pixel stock OS release. We won't need to backport Pixel driver/firmware patches since we're on Android 16 and can simply incorporate and ship the monthly update within hours.
It can be extraordinarily difficult to backport driver/firmware patches due to dependencies on the new major release. We were only able to backport everything required for the 2025-06-05 security patch level because Android 15 QPR2 is much closer to Android 16 than Android 15.
Itâs an invisible element rendered on all those webpages whose purpose is to spy on you. Itâs thanks to these pixels that Meta probably has details about your tax returns and medical records.
But that isnât enough for the espionage company better known as Meta.
After rolling out the tracking pixels about 10 years ago, many browsers and extensions have learned how to block them.
If you use Firefox in Strict mode, and/or the Facebook Container extension, and/or Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin, then chances are that your browser is blocking Metaâs creepy eyes.
Probably there arenât a lot of people out there who take these measures, as they usually involve some degree of tech-savvyness. But the fact that there are still some people on planet earth that are trying to block their creepy eyes, some people whose tax returns, health records or sexual habits arenât known to them, makes Meta uneasy. After all, itâs a company explicitly designed to know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE!
So what have they done?
Well, they basically opened a local backdoor on all Android phones that have some of their apps installed.
Usually a mobile app with INTERNET permissions can bind to any non-privileged TCP port on the local interface.
And thatâs exactly what their mobile apps are doing.
They open a localhost socket, and then whenever you open your mobile browser on a website that has one of their trackers the JavaScript code tries to connect to that port to push scraped data from your browsing history to their apps.
They basically abuse the localhost sandbox, usually used by developers and less subject to the scrutiny of tracker-blocking software, to funnel private data scooped up from your usage of other websites, unencrypted, to their own apps, which in turn pushes it to their servers.
To be clear, this isnât something new. Yandex has been doing it since 2017. And by now you probably shouldnât trust any large-scale apps that come out of the US, Russia or China because they are all funded by State-sponsored programs whose aim is collective espionage and data collection.
If you want to protect yourself:
Never use Chrome for browsing. Only use Firefox or one of its forks. And, since Firefox is the only mobile browser that supports extensions, donât forget to install Facebook Container (which limits all activities related to known Meta domains in their own sandbox), Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin on it. And I would also recommend NoScript - better to explicitly whitelist all JavaScript content that you want to run on your devices than risking your data leaking to unintended actors. The way Meta exploits these loopholes in the browser to violate peopleâs privacy shows that itâs no longer tolerable to have browsers that donât actively provide users ways to block trackers. Google acknowledged Metaâs abuse, allegedly provided a patch to close the localhost loophole, but still doesnât provide privacy-focused features in their browser because they have a strong conflict of interests - because they also profit from violating peopleâs privacy. Ditching their products has now become a civic duty.
Uninstall the Facebook and Instagram apps. Use the website instead. Webpages run in the browserâs sandbox and canât just arbitrarily access the storage or start TCP services. I know that Facebook and Instagram in a browser suck, and thatâs deliberate - itâs all part of Metaâs plan to force people to use their apps instead. But maybe itâs a good way to limit your usage of this crap.
Avoid using WhatsApp through their app directly too if you can (sure, individual messages are E2E encrypted, but thereâs plenty of juicy metadata that they can still scoop up from your app usage). I personally use Matrix with a WhatsApp bridge, so I can interact with my conversations directly from my Element app instead of using WhatsApp directly on the phone.
Use Metaâs services as little as possible. If thereâs some data point that they can harvest and sell about you, then rest assure that they will do. Moving to privacy-aware decentralized solutions like the Fediverse is now a civic duty. The more people move over their content, the more Metaâs services lose their value, the less people will be inclined to use them even if they hate them just because âeveryone else is thereâ.

You're opening yourself up for potential litigation and privacy issues by forcing your customers to provide this information. In addition you would then have to comply with an option to allow me to delete my data from your servers including an ability to download the name of my doctor and the date of various prescriptions. Then inform me any time your servers have been breached or hacked to allow my to protect myself in the event someone now has my Doctor's name and my prescription dates.
Would be much easier for you legally to allow transactions to happen without forcing me to provide this information. I would IF I wanted you to process my insurance information. I do not though.
I will be sharing this response online and a link to your Privacy Policy.
Today's Epstein List Fiasco = Donald Trump critically compromised by (Israeli) Foreign Intelligence
Elon Musk stands vindicated. Anyone who cares about America would want the immediate removal of Trump, and all his fellow victims, from positions of power in the US government.
Some of the dead found counties away from the summer camp itself; four of the 27 missing girls from Camp Mystic have been found dead, US media reports.
also here are some videos i've saved.. some times i watch old junk like this and remember the days several months ago when trump winning seemed epic and there wasn't any in-fighting yet and it was fracking cool as hell that trump won on election night and all the libtards were losing it..

@johnnydoomsayer In 2020, I made this otter meme. People started sending me otter pictures for memes. Then I found out otters really do hate jews. One attacked a yenta in Florida, tried to rip her face off. The goal is to get the ADL to declare otters a hate symbol.
@johnnydoomsayer I've lost a lot of memes on a broken external memory. I can find them on Gab, but it's a lot of work going through years worth of posts.
@johnnydoomsayer The otter eating the jewfish was the first. But the one that became very famous was #2, I found it on Gab. The Zyklon Otters is the one most people remember.

U.S. Spending on Foreign Wars and Foreign Aid Since 1917
Since the introduction of the federal income tax in 1917, the United States has spent vast sums on foreign wars and foreign aid. Below is a breakdown of major expenditures, adjusted to 2024 dollars, followed by a total.
### Major U.S. War Expenditures (1917â2024)
| War/Conflict | Estimated Cost (Trillions, 2024 USD) | |--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| | **World War I (1917â1918)** | $0.47 | | **World War II (1941â1945)** | $5.74 | | **Korean War (1950â1953)** | $0.48 | | **Vietnam War (1962â1973)** | $1.03 | | **Post-9/11 Wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)** | $8.00 |
- The post-9/11 wars include direct appropriations, obligations, and long-term veteransâ care[1][2].
### U.S. Foreign Aid Since World War II
- **Foreign Aid (since WWII):** $3.8 trillion
[3]Foreign aid includes economic, military, and humanitarian assistance to countries worldwide, with major recipients including Israel, Egypt, South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and South Korea[3].
- The U.S. has spent **over $19.5 trillion** (in todayâs dollars) on foreign wars and foreign aid since 1917. - The largest single expenditure was World War II, followed by the post-9/11 wars. - Foreign aid, while smaller than war spending, still represents a significant outflow of taxpayer money[1][3][2].
