This propaganda of “recognizing Palestine” carries no real value, not in substance, not in justice, and certainly not in resistance. It is an insult to the martyrs, to the orphans, to the steadfast, to the fighters who never asked for a seat in the UN, but for a shovel to dig their fallen out of rubble and a rifle to defend what remains.

From Auschwitz to Gaza, all night and all day
All the people inside just wasting away
Everyone waiting for death to arrive
Shot or starved or burned alive
Where each passing moment is punctured by groans
Of a million children as thin as their bonesFrom Auschwitz to Gaza, the outside world knew
And many lamented about what they might do
While their leaders looked for money to be made
In the arms trade
Once again, just like this
Profiting from the apocalypseFrom Auschwitz to Gaza, the stages of starvation
Are exactly the same under occupation
First the fat goes, then all the rest
The muscle, the marrow, the milk in the breasts
Of all nursing mothers, as in front of their eyes
Their babies cry their last little cries

FUCK HOWARD STERN
REMEMBERING DANA PLATO AND HOW HOWARD STERN HELPED DRIVE HER TO HER GRAVE
In May 1999, Diff’rent Strokes star Dana Plato appeared on The Howard Stern Show. She was raw, emotional, and clearly struggling, trying to claw her way back from years of addiction, poverty, and tabloid ridicule. She told Stern she was sober and doing her best. She even brought her fiancé on the air for support.
What did Stern do?
He mocked her.
He let callers humiliate her live on the air. He said he didn’t believe she was sober. He pushed her to take a drug test during the show. She played along at first — maybe trying to show she could take a joke. Maybe trying to save face. But after the segment, she quietly asked for the hair sample back. Stern’s team refused.
The very next day, Dana Plato was dead.
Overdose. Ruled a suicide.
And it doesn’t end there. Eleven years later, her son Tyler Lambert, just 25 years old, took his own life too. Same week as the anniversary of his mother’s death.
This is what happens when you treat real pain as entertainment.
Stern didn’t kill Dana Plato. But he kicked her while she was down, on one of the most humiliating public stages imaginable. He took a vulnerable, broken woman and made her pain into a performance. Because it got laughs. Because it got ratings.
That’s the real Howard Stern. Not the “brave” liberal voice of reason he pretends to be today.
He built his empire mocking the disabled, shaming addicts, degrading women, and gleefully punching down.
He wasn’t edgy. He was cruel.
He wasn’t honest. He was exploitative.
And now, when it’s convenient, he wraps himself in the language of tolerance and justice — while attacking the very Americans who once made him rich.
He used to buddy up with Trump, appearing together on air over 30 times. Now he calls Trump supporters “morons” and “idiots,” from the safety of his multimillion-dollar Hamptons compound — the same place he locked himself inside for over a year, lecturing the country about COVID while mocking anyone who dared step outside.
Howard Stern didn’t go woke. He got soft. He got rich. He got scared.
And worst of all, he got boring.
Now SiriusXM has canceled him. Not because he was controversial — but because no one’s listening anymore. The outrage dried up. The audience moved on. And when your whole act is built on cruelty and self-importance, that’s a one-way ticket to irrelevance.
Dana Plato deserved better. So did her son.
They were real people. With real pain.
Good riddance Howard.

Downing Street files show Tony Blair was prepared to allow Israel to take over part of the West Bank and to give Israel a “privileged” alliance with Nato and the European Union.MARK CURTIS (Declassified Media ltd)
I think I have a design for a fine particle grinder.
Small particles can't be ground effectively in a blade mill (coffee grinder) or a ball mill (rock tumbler), they reach a size that there are so many of them that the balls are cushioned by the sheer number of them, and blades can't strike them hard enough to split them any further.
So what do you do if you want them smaller?
In industry, they use a jet mill which is basically a sand blaster, except the media is meant to be ground down rather than the thing you're blasting against. The problem with a jet mill is the particles you're grinding are smoke particle size and smaller, so you need really effective cyclone separation to avoid just losing the particles out the exhaust air! And that makes these machines quite expensive.
For small batch very fine particle grinding, I think it can be done as follows:
Epoxy an ultrasonic transducer to a steel plate with some bolt holes, bolt this to a lexan spacer 3mm thick. This spacer has a center area milled out which is where the grinding will happen.
bolt a 10mm thick lexan cover over the spacer, in the middle of this cover you heat-press a concave sapphire watch glass into the lexan. Particles from the steel plate are thrown up against the sapphire and because the sapphire is concave, they are bounced back toward the middle of the work area. The spacer has input and output holes that can be used to feed and remove dust from grinding.
The apparatus is run with vacuum inside, so that the particles can get up to high speed. Sapphire is one of the hardest materials in existence so (unless you're trying to grind diamond) it will break up almost any particle.
The whole design is relatively cheap and DIY friendly, and if it works well, I think it should be possible to make nano scale particles with enough time grinding.

Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger raked in $50,000 in campaign donations from an electric vehicle tycoon who is a member of the Chinese Communist Party, according to campaign finance records. The funding is perplexing given that Virginia law forbids foreign nationals from making political contributions, and Chinese law typically bans CCP members from holding foreign citizenship or permanent residency.

I got on LinkedIn because someone told me it was the “professional thing to do” after retirement.
Big mistake.
This place is a digital motor pool full of self-appointed visionaries doing donuts in the mud, yelling about scaling, optimizing, and disrupting, while actively failing to comprehend anything larger than their own reflection in a ring light.

Every day I open this app and it’s someone bragging about how they “fired their entire team at 6:45 a.m. to protect the culture” and then went on a ten-mile gratitude walk before raising $4 million from investors who apparently also hate due diligence.
You people are feral.
You’re not leading a company. You’re cosplaying a personality disorder and calling it leadership.
Every post reads like a man with a Bluetooth headset screamed into a word cloud and hit “publish.”

“I was boarding a plane when I saw a janitor smiling. That janitor was my first employee. I gave him equity. That janitor is now our COO. Never forget to believe in people.”
What in the fever dream did I just read?
Nobody’s humble anymore. They just say “Humbled to announce” right before delivering a victory lap and tagging 19 people who haven’t talked to them since the Bush administration.
I’ve seen better self-control in a barracks full of privates with an unlocked liquor cabinet.

LinkedIn reminds me of early days on Hacker News and here on Reddit. Social media doesn't reflect the world of tech, or even startup tech.
Social media gives outsized attention to certain types of extroverted people, and it gives outsized attention to controversy and confirmation of bias relative to correctness or depth of experience.
