New capabilities allow the rover to do science with less energy from its batteries. Thirteen years since Curiosity landed on Mars, engineers are finding ways to make the NASA rover even more productive. The six-wheeled robot has been given more autonomy and the ability to multitask — improvements designed to make the most of Curiosity’s […]

Russian Special Ops Forces Capture Three British “Soldiers”

Colonel Edward Blake and Lietenant Colonel Richard Carroll


If true, this adds a new twist to the war in Ukraine. I first heard this claim a couple of days ago on BORZZIKMAN’s channel… The Russians captured three Brits in a small town west of Odessa. I was leery of reporting it without additional confirmation.

Then I found another source… the Eurasia Daily, which reported that Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, and Colonel Edward Blake, both active-duty officers of the British Army, along with as as-yet unidentified Agent of British MI-6 (Intelligence) were captured during a daring raid by Russian Special Forces, in the city of Ohakiv. That city is shown on the scalable map below:

Resheq: Netanyahu is fully responsible for the hunger endured by Israeli captives #Palestine english.palinfo.com/news/2025/…

The Marxist religion has a god. It is named “We”, and it shares many characteristics with gods from other religions:

  • You can’t see or touch We, but you are assured that it exists.
  • We is all-powerful. We can accomplish anything We puts its mind to.
  • You can talk to We, but you will rarely receive an answer.
  • We makes the rules that the rest of us are then forced to adhere to.
  • We is ineffable and inscrutable. You must not question the will of We.
  • Those who step out of line in society will be judged by We.

Keep this in mind. Whenever you hear a Marxist speak the name of their god, now you know what they are talking about.

We will have made progress when people like this are the ones imprisoned for their corrupt attacks on democracy and the right to protest.

Labour dominated work and pensions committee has issued a scathing report into the government’s attempts to “reform” disability benefits. It is a very critical examination of the Labour government’s proposals that attempted to impose catastrophic cuts to disability benefits.

"The challenge is not simply to build a “Dutch cloud” or “European #cloud” as nationalistic alternatives, but to develop alternative visions for the role of computing in society that prioritize people over profit maximization," writes @C__CS in this excellent critique of Europe's #DigitalSovereignty debate and the so-called #EuroStack.

Dynamic pricing. Fuck this country. #uspol

“In a notice to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the department said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa.”

Anyone know of any alternatives to #Cyd?

Not sure if it's always been this way but apparently you can't migrate your old #Twitter/#X account to #Bluesky without paying for the "pro" version?

Look, I get it. Everyone deserves to reap the rewards the fruit of their labor provides.

I just wish I knew that up front because I wasted the time and energy to download my old Twitter account data (and waiting the 24 hours) and going through the entire wizard/ steps that Cyd makes you walk through, only to be told at the very last step that the one thing I wanted to do I'd have to fork over an uncertain amount of money to actually do?

(There were no prices on the step in the wizard that told me I'd need to pay-up if I wanted to continue. Only that I must upgrade to "Pro" before continuing.)

Because had I known that originally, I wouldn't have bothered.

And I guess that's the design and intent.

Like I said, everyone deserves to monetize whatever shit they want.

I just wish I knew about it at the start so I could have made an informed decision.

Because right now I feel a little bit used.
