Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighbouring regions of the
universe, ...
Does this explain the spooky redshift stuff that seems to say we're much closer to the outer expanse than previously thought? Seems like it confuses that even more.
Because they are not, in fact, older than the universe. That is literally, definitionally impossible.
The age of objects are derrived from simplified equations that proximate real-world phenomina. They're mathematical models, not absolute facts. When an object appears to be "older than the universe", it can mean many specific things, like the acceleration of the expansion of the universe changes over time when most mathematical models do not account for that. It could mean the object is simply further away than we expect to be able to see. It could mean it's simply traveling away from us in some uniquely fast way.
Basically, it means the mathematical model used to derive how "old" the object is, is likely wrong in some way, or that the measurements taken may have inaccurate results, both of which are absolutely and wholly normal for science. Again, they're mathematical models, based on measured observation, not absolute universal truths. There are many, many, many ways data can both be gathered incorrectly or analyzed incorrectly, not even requiring anyone to make a mistake. Science at the fringe of knowledge is very difficult, and requires rigerous testing and validation before it should be trusted. NEVER trust clickbait BS, especially if it's not directly from a scientist's mouth.
We already know our mathematical models are inaccurate in several ways (see dark matter and dark energy for the obvious ones). We just need to figure out how and why they are wrong.
1) this report seems to have evidence of a void 2) redshift observation would be impacted if true 3) ge er gravitational relationships between galaxies would be kind of a huge thing considering our limited view of their

PKK Burns Weapons in Bid for Integration Into Reactionary States
Following a call from PKK leader, Abdullah Öcalan, to lay down its arms, the PKK held a disarmament ceremony in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) on July 11th.
Besê Hozat, co-chair of the KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council, led the group of 15 male and 15 female guerrillas who burned their weapons and belts.
Speaking at the historic ceremony, Besê Hozat said: “We are taking this step in response to Leader Apo’s call, the February 27 call, and the decisions of the PKK’s 12th Congress.”
Kurdish militants want to return to Turkey and enter mainstream politics, one of the PKK’s joint leaders told AFP on Friday after the group’s fighters began destroying their arms at the ceremony.
Speaking to AFP after handing in her own weapon alongside 29 of her comrades, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s top female commander Bese Hozat said if Turkey were willing, the disarmament process could be completed very quickly.
But the 47-year-old militant also warned the fragile peace process risked being derailed if Ankara fails to free the PKK’s jailed founder Abdullah Ocalan, also known as ‘Apo’ — Kurdish for ‘uncle’.
“If Apo were freed tomorrow and… Turkey made legal and constitutional arrangements the next day, within a week we could return to engage” in bourgeois state politics, she said of a process which Ankara expects to last for months.
Hozat said it was essential Turkey put in place mechanisms to allow them to return without fear of prosecution or reprisal.
“We do not want to wage armed struggle against Turkey, we want to come to Turkey and do democratic politics. In order for us… to achieve democratic integration with Turkey, it is imperative we can freely travel to Turkey,” she said.
“If Turkey takes concrete steps, enacts laws and implements radical legal reforms… we will go to Turkey and engage in politics. If (not)… we will end up either in prison or being killed.”
Asked whether she now expected Turkey and its Western allies to remove the PKK from their blacklists of terrorist organisations, Hozat said the issue was irrelevant.
“Right now, the PKK no longer exists, we’ve dissolved it. We are a freedom movement.. advocating for peace and a democratic society.
“The PKK has achieved its main goal: the existence of the Kurds has been recognised.”
The PKK dissolution represents a severe turning point for internationalist politics, as the organization that permitted revolutionary collusion in the region speed walks its way into collaborationist politics.
Democratic integration into Turkish politics is essentially an oxymoron as class politics and reactionary parties dominate the state.
Furthermore, the PKK’s posture in Syria has also drifted into collaboration as the new regime continues its massacres and clearly settles into a riole as a gendarme for US and Zionist imperial schemes. The PKK’s attempt to join this regime is damning, even if minor concessions are wrangled out in the negotations.

I discovered an anti-corpo lifehack and tbh I think its a pretty great one!
So you know those annoying "sign up for our free trial" sites that basically "forget" to notify you that you need to cancel and try to get you for like 10,000 years of subscriptions?
I found a way to counter.
I use a lot of cash purchased "nonreloadable" credit cards bc I'm trying to counterpunch with privacy, okay? Last night I was signing up for a free trial of a thing and I didn't have a disposable card avail that would cover the "post trial" cost.
So... I used one of the many leftover cards I have with like, less than five dollars on them for a "two hundred after trial" thing.
Aaaaaaand it worked.
So basically: - I used a throwaway email - I used a 'paid in cash' card to secure my trial - There's literally no way they can really charge me unless I decide I want to continue.
Obv this only works if they take gift card style credit cards (the ones I use only work for US based payment processing annoyingly) and you need to be able to like, GET one but yeah.

IA: La 2 Hemingway, la 3 L'affaire est dans le sac (les yeux), la 5 Jean Dupont. Les autres pourraient être faits à partir de templates ou de bibliothèques assez communes. En fait dans le 2, 3 et 5, on retrouve des coloris, des nuances souvent vues avec l'IA.
@jeanmichelbrioche le 1 je suis assez sûr, on a vu exactement le même style lorsqu'il y a eu la mode des "figurines sous plastique". La 4 c'est surtout le sanglier, qui a le même style (le reste, la route et la voiture, peut être pas)
Oui mais non ! J'ai demandé si c'était de l'IA, le comédien m'a assuré que non, en pointant le nom de l'artiste sur l'affiche. Mais la tête des persos est vraiment dans le style image ChatGPT
Je suis embêté pour cette affiche : j'ai l'impression que les personnages ont été fait en IAgen, mais je vois pas de détail qui confirmerai ça. Votre avis ?
Vous en pensez quoi ? Ça ressemble à de l'IA, mais j'arrive pas à pointer d'incohérences convaincantes, à part peut être les lignes discontinues soleil/ciel, ou les palmiers dans la mer.
Je trouve ça dommage de faire autant de posts sur des affiches qui méritent pas notre attention et de ne rien poster sur les excellents spectacles qui méritent et ont besoin de visibilité.
Pour ma part sur le retour je recommande très fortement Mal Élevée, un spectacle féministe très bien rôdé qui sent le vécu, la tête ailleurs, un super spectacle musical, et Illusions, une pièce sympa de carré amoureux (les triangles c'est surfait).
et ça me semble aussi important de mettre en lumière les affiches qui sont belles et-ou transmettent bien l'émotion du spectacle parce qu'elles ont eu l'attention d'un humain. Par exemple le spectacle d'impro comment on en arrive là, dont je trouve l'affiche excellente

Blender is getting HDR on Linux via Wayland before Windows! This isn't by accident, but shows how creating a system with a different design creates better results for users and application developers.
Firefox is in this same boat too. It will get HDR support on Linux* sooner than Windows. Firefox currently only supports HDR on MacOS.
The latest alpha of the upcoming Blender 5.0 release comes with High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for Linux on Wayland which will, if everything works out, make it into the final Blender 5.0 release on October 1, 2025.

The most glowing reviews I have seen come from DC fans, and it does my heart good. A lot of us were dreaming of a Superman movie that felt like Superman, so James Gunn just made a bunch of nerds very happy.
Superman is going to be remembered as an important film for this genre, because Gunn took a look at what has and hasn't worked with superhero movies over the past several decades and tried not so much to do something *new* but to make some *good*.

Personally, I think it’s a scam, the same way Biden’s cancer is a scam and he only “announced” his diagnosis to highlight how stupid Slow Joe saying he has “aggressive” cancer, is.
Scott's decline was quite obvious. I expected him to be dead by now. In fact, he said a couple of weeks ago that "today was the day I had planned on taking the suicide drugs".
But then he explained that the new expensive drug he is taking is blocking testosterone in some manner, and this puts a pause on the cancer.
but it only works for so long. so he'll be dead in a couple of years.
