There have now been more measles cases in 2025 than in any other year since the contagious virus was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, according to new data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Experts worry that if vaccination rates do not improve, deadly outbreaks will become the new normal.

On July 5, 2025, Patriot Front activists marched in Louisville, Kentucky in honor of Independence Day. A speech was given at the Jefferson County Courthouse by Thomas Rousseau.
Can Americans claim to be independent if we are attacked, betrayed, undercut, and controlled by both foreign nations and foreign money? If our nation is sold out from under us by exported jobs, and further ruined by imported foreign invaders to claim dominion over the soil which our forebears fought and died for to pass down as our heritage, are we a nation which has independence?
The time for celebration and innocent fun on July 4 is inappropriate when we are in such dire and revolutionary times. The activist stands up to fight and make his stand against a country which has betrayed him and seeks his obliteration in favor of more easily controlled third world peasants and violent invaders.
The era of globalism has ended. Nationalist action is creating the crucible in which the men who will save our nation are forged.
STAND AMONG US. America needs a generation of brave men to fearlessly rise to face all threats to their collective interests. A generation steeled in their effort to realize their grand vision of a new nation.
Got back from the Independence Day protest. I made a little compilation video of the thus-far released cell phone videos of the march, & I captioned Thomas' speech at the Courthouse.
I was the bass drummer, and I hope you all enjoy the new drumhead design we made. A slight variation of the Sonnenrad with 13 bolts, a fasces center, and the 13 Stars of the Betsy Ross flag in between the 13 characters of E PLURIBUS UNUM to represent the many European nations who comprise our White American race.
More videos to come soon, but wanted to post this ASAP. Hope we made you all proud.

It's odd to me that people talk about data centers in terms of megawatts, a measure of electric power. For one example among many, a Bloomberg article from March about Microsoft cancelling data center plans began:
Microsoft Corp. has walked away from new data center projects in the US and Europe that would have amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity, according to TD Cowen analysts, who attributed the pullback to an oversupply of the clusters of computers that power artificial intelligence.
"Data center projects that...amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity" is a nonsensical statement. The (technical) capacities of a data center have to do with storage, compute, transmission, and latency. I understand there's probably some Fermi calculation along the lines of converting electric power to compute capacity using the TDP of NVIDIA's latest GPUs or something like that. Nevertheless, it's misleading to speak this way, not to mention lazy. It is oversimplifying in a bad way, treating data centers as utilities that supply a commodity when that is just not the case (at least not with AI, where prices for services still fluctuate fairly wildly).
We benchmark GPUs and CPUs in a multitude of ways, including FLOPS, number of transistors (per unit space), etc. In fact performance-per-unit-of-power is one of the more important ones from a design perspective. Ignoring all the other ones in favor of a single metric that's removed from what you actually do with the device is bizarre.

CBC: RCMP charges military members allegedly plotting to form militia and seize land
"...The RCMP has charged four men, including two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), with being part of an extremist plot that allegedly involved creating an anti-government militia with a massive trove of weapons.
In a news release Tuesday morning, the Mounties said the group was involved in an alleged ideologically motivated violent plot "intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area." ..."
In a resolution, MEPs strongly condemn Russia’s ongoing war crimes in Ukraine, expressing firm support for the investigations of the International Criminal Court.
"Given what we now know, it’s clear that Donald Trump and his regime are actively covering up the Epstein files—likely due to Trump’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein."
"You don’t have to be the renowned Inspector Poirot—of Agatha Christie fame—to get that Donald Trump does not want the Jeffrey Epstein files released because he will be personally incriminated."
"Common sense tells us that if Trump is willing to piss off his base to keep the information about him in the Epstein files from seeing the light of day it’s really bad for him. That means we really, really need to see it!"
… Trump held another insane Cabinet meeting today in front of the press where he and his most senior appointees took questions on a variety of topics, followed by a series of batshit crazy responses.
"… TACO Trump was asked last night if his latest, most recent tariff deadline of August 1 in his various letters to countries is 100% firm this time or is it subject to change: “No, I would say firm, but not 100% firm.” -Filipkowski
"Even Peter Doocy from Fox 'News' confronted Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the scandal. Doocy asked: 'So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?'
Leavitt responded by trying to lie about what Bondi said. Doocy interrupted, saying: 'I’ve got the quote. She said "it’s sitting on my desk right now to review."' Leavitt then abruptly changed the subject."
Noting how Trump blew up yesterday when asked about the Epstein cover-up, Marcy Wheeler writes,
"I can think of no moment in his ten year political career where Trump so obviously lost his cool because he was helpless to direct attention where he wanted it.
And it’s likely to only keep Epstein at the center of attention."
More than perhaps any moment of his ten year career, Trump just lost his cool -- about a Jeffrey Epstein question -- because he is helpless to dictate the focus of attention.
"Trump has reignited this story and this controversy with terrible appointments in key positions and his own bungling of the situation. And it isn’t going away. This is not an issue where MAGA can be easily distracted by something else because it is something they have cared about passionately for years."
It's weird that no one mocks him openly because it shatters him. He's tall and loud so people back away but he's the most fragile man alive and deserves the question, "How many underage sex partners did Epstein provide for you?"
Survivors testify: MKs participated in sadistic sexual 'rituals' involving minors
‘Doctors, educators, police officers, and past and present members of the Knesset were involved in these abuses,’ survivor says. Read here jpost.com/israel-news/article-… then vomit 🤮
Lustigerweise stützt sich ja der Vorwurf auf ihre Behauptung, sie hätte gemeint, dass die israelischen Vergewaltiger zumindest rechtsstaatlich belangt würden, aber gerade dieser Tage haben wir erfahren, dass sich genau das inhaltlich erübrigt hat… bird.makeup/users/goldi/status…
So basically, the candidate should just accept whatever shit sandwich the company is offering and not be concerned about whether the job is actually a good fit for them. I bet their turnover stats are eye popping.
sounds like some employers in Malta...ask about salary and work culture in a job interview here, and you will have just scuppered your chances- it's frustrating and ridiculous
no. no way. i flatly refuse to believe this is real. there is no way an employer would actually have the balls to refuse to hire anyone who asked them the only three questions any employee would ever ask in an interview
Good grief! When I was in HR many moons ago I used to do interviews and I would always say that interviews were an opportunity for BOTH parties to see if the job was a fit for them. And my advice today remains the same - if you're going for an interview then it is as much an opportunity for you to interview the company as it is for them interviewing you.
that's super weird... esp. the part about not discussing job responsibilities... they literally don't expect the candidate to ask what the job will be?????
maybe they have to advertise the job for some reason but don't intend to fill the position or have already picked some nepo baby to fill it...
It would be interest to see the list of things they want to discuss.
How about the pension plan, 401K matching, the health ins plan, their D&B report. or about when I feel its necessary to come into the office, what kind of office will be provided and how fast is the video conferencing facility.
To all recruiter: I'll be accepting job descriptions on tues and thrus, be sure to include all relevant information.
Every day that passes there are further validations in my commitment to making the best of a financially poor existence.
Fuck employers - they are all shit!
If any employer takes umbrage at this, you are welcome to apply to employ me, I have skills you need, please DM to start the process.
Fair warning, you will have to prove that you are a truly outstanding, exceptionally excellent awesome employer that will go out of their way to accomodate me 🤣
@DemocracyMattersALot All, and I do mean ALL, job interview questions should be asked by the applicant and not the employer. Otherwise nothing can be trusted.
To be honest, I at least consider it a plus that they're waving those red flags so prominently rather than wasting their time going further along before realizing what a hellscape that job must be.
Wow. Flags raised. I'm now wishing they hadn't anonymized that, because I want to know what company is that stupid – after all if the hiring process is like that I want to stay away from their products as well.
There are a limited number of reasons why someone doesn't want to discuss a topic, some of which can't possibly apply here. The ones that do make this reply itself a huge red flag.
well they only say they don't like to discuss asking questions about those things; so obviously this means you can still discuss the things and ask questions about the things, as long as you don't try to discuss asking questions about the things
i'd probably email them back to say well that's not going to be an issue since i was asking questions about the things and not discussing asking questions about the things
but this does raise the question of whether or not *they* are discussing asking questions about the things, but i suppose as this email is not part of the interview process they do like to discuss asking questions about the things
these fuckers will ruin thousands of lives to make a buck, but heaven forfend a worker shows even a whisper of monetary interest in the job as if the whole system isn’t predicated on you have to have money to survive.
Right. The only circumstance I can think of where this would sort of make sense is if the post was for a guard dog and they didn't expect the applicant to use words, and found it _concerning_.
To be honest, I don't believe anything I read on #reddit. People post just to get a reaction. This isn't to say nothing is real over there, but I don't have the forebearance to determine what's what.
Des rescapées témoignent : des membres du Parlement israélien participent à des rituels sexuels impliquant des mineurs
Par Eliav Breuer – Source Jerusalem Post
Plusieurs femmes ont témoigné mardi à la Knesset des abus sexuels qu’elles ont subis en tant que mineures dans le cadre de cérémonies rituelles religieuses.
Les témoignages ont été recueillis lors d’une réunion conjointe de la Commission de la Knesset sur la condition de la femme et l’égalité des sexes, présidée par la Députée Pnina Tameno-Shete (Unité nationale), et de la Commission spéciale sur les Jeunes Israéliens, présidée par la députée Naama Lazimi (Les démocrates).
La réunion conjointe a été organisée à la suite d’un rapport d’enquête publié le 2 avril par le journaliste d’Israel Hayom, Noam Barkan.
Yael Ariel, l’une des survivantes des abus, a déclaré : “J’ai subi des abus rituels pendant de nombreuses années jusqu’à la fin de mon adolescence et j’ai été forcée de faire du mal à d’autres enfants. J’ai choisi de parler et de faire entendre ma voix. J’ai reçu des menaces après avoir révélé mon histoire. De l’âge de cinq ans à l’âge de 20 ans, j’ai été blessé lors de ces cérémonies.”
Selon Ariel, elle a reçu des témoignages de plusieurs femmes qui affirmaient que des médecins, des éducateurs, des policiers et des membres passés et présents de la Knesset étaient impliqués dans ces abus.
“J’ai déposé une plainte auprès de la police qui a été classée après quelques mois, et je connais d’autres affaires qui ont été classées. S’exprimer aujourd’hui à la Knesset est un moment historique« , a-t-elle déclaré.
Une autre survivante, Yael Shitrit, a témoigné « Vous n’avez aucune idée de ce qu’est l’abus rituel. Le cerveau humain ne peut pas le comprendre. Vous ne pouvez pas imaginer ce que cela signifie de programmer une fillette de trois ans par le viol et le sadisme pour qu’on puisse faire ce qu’on veut d’elle veut sans que personne ne le sache. »
« Ils m’ont trafiqué dans tout le pays. Ils m’ont déplacé de cérémonie en cérémonie. Des hommes nus se tenaient en cercle. Mon thérapeute, son mari et son fils m’ont fait du mal, et il y avait des dizaines d’autres filles et garçons qui m’ont fait du mal. »
« Il y avait des cérémonies et des rituels destinés à me faire oublier », a poursuivi Shitrit. « La police est au courant de cela depuis un an, mais elle n’a pas les outils pour y faire face. »
Les personnes qui tomberont sont des personnalités très, très haut placées. Ces personnes dirigent des communautés et des agences gouvernementales. Ils nous menacent. J’ai des enfants que je dois protéger. Quelque chose doit être mis en place pour y faire face.
« Ils ont essayé de nous faire aimer d’eux – les gens qui nous ont causé une douleur sans fin », a déclaré Shitrit. « Votre rôle est les arrêter, à Safed, Jérusalem, Jaljulya, ou n’importe où ailleurs”, a-t-elle déclaré.
Le Dr Naama Goldberg, responsable d’une ONG appelée Lo Omdot MeNegged (“Ne pas rester les bras croisés” en hébreu), qui aide les survivants de la prostitution, a expliqué que les histoires sont parfois si horribles qu’elles sont difficiles à croire, mais cette incrédulité sert les agresseurs, qui convainquent les victimes de ne pas se plaindre en arguant qu’elles ne seront pas crues.
« Il y a plusieurs années, j’ai reçu des descriptions d’abus sadiques sur des enfants », a déclaré Goldberg. « Les récits semblaient absurdes. [Mais] les témoignages continuaient à arriver et ne cessaient pas. Ils décrivaient des viols collectifs commis par des hommes, et parfois par des femmes. L’abus a été filmé et des drogues ont été consommées. Il y avait des pratiques rituelles et du symbolisme. »
« J’ai présenté à la police les témoignages écrits de cinq femmes. À ce jour, personne ne m’a contacté. Depuis le rapport, d’autres témoignages ont fait surface », a déclaré Goldberg.
Un représentant de la police israélienne, le surintendant Anat Yakir, a déclaré qu’il y avait une unité nationale qui examinait tous les cas et que les plaintes étaient « une priorité absolue au sein de la division du renseignement. »
Les députés qui ont assisté à la réunion ont été visiblement secoués par certains des témoignages, l’un l’appelant un “moment décisif” et un autre qualifiant les révélations de “titanesques”.
Tameno-Shete a déclaré « La réalité nous montre que la police n’est pas capable de traiter les infractions sexuelles. Personne ne veut parler de viols brutaux et d’enfants violés. Il y a des cas inimaginables de monstruosité ici. »
Lazimi a ajouté « Je ne pouvais plus respirer quand j’ai entendu parler d’un réseau d’abus rituels contre les filles et du fait qu’il existe un mécanisme organisé et dangereux et que rien n’est fait pour l’arrêter. Dans cet endroit, nous allons en discuter et essayer de l’exposer pour apporter des changements. »
Deux autres survivants ont parlé lors de la réunion sous couvert d’anonymat.
L’une d’elles a témoigné qu’un cousin l’avait trafiquée à partir de l’âge de 11 ans. « À 14 ans, il m’a emmené dans des clubs sadiques. J’ai enduré la torture et la famine aux mains d’individus bien connus et éminents. J’ai souffert de manière infinie ».
« Il y avait des événements publics, et il y avait des cérémonies internes où j’étais attaché à un grand poteau avec des menottes. Autour de moi, il y avait d’autres victimes menottées avec des rituels de consommation de sang menstruel et de meurtre de chats et d’autres animaux. Ils m’ont dit que personne ne me croirait si je parlais. »
Elle a poursuivi en expliquant qu’elle avait déposé une plainte auprès de la police il y a cinq ans. « L’accusation a classé l’affaire faute de preuves, alors j’ai fait appel, et cela a été accepté. Je suis venue témoigner alors que j’étais alitée pendant la grossesse, mais l’affaire a de nouveau été classée faute de preuves. »
For those not in the know: Amazon prices fluctuate all the time.
Once a year, Amazon hypes up "Prime Day", where they make your savings over list price jump out at you to trigger a psychological reaction that says "I need to buy this now (before Prime Day is over)!"
These boasted savings aren't over the usual price. They are over the list price, which you usually only pay if you're unlucky in your timing.
Sometimes you'll end up paying more on prime day than any given item has been in the past. If you already were planning on buying a thing and it happens to be one of the Prime Day specials, great. On the other hand, if you're trawling through Prime Day specials to look for things to buy because they're on sale, well, there's a reason that Jeff Bezos was able to rent out an island for his fancy wedding. 😂

Theoretically, if someone were to use a tool like yt-dlp to download offline copies of all of the YouTube videos in their playlists but had to use browser cookies instead of anonymous do download them because some of them were age restricted and also used something like cloudflare warp because the connection kept dropping or getting cut off and then logged into YouTube the next day and suddenly all videos, every single video on YouTube produces an error of "Video unavailable: this content isn't available" and keeps doing that even on day two, what should that hypothetical person do to get YouTube working again?
Install FreeTube. Can download the videos directly in the application. It can't help for age-related videos though since it doesn't have a way to login to YT I don't think. But it does support YT proxies (Invidious) right in the app.
@gme FreeTube is awesome. I was able to import my subscriptions, history (in JSON format, not CSV), and playlists from a Google Takeout dump. I used freetube-import to convert the playlists into the correct format from CSV.
