This all happened in about thirty seconds.

I was thinking about Searx. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I got a ton of people on a Searx on my IP to just absolutely befuddle the algorithm? Then I thought of what a great idea it would be to have just a network of Searx instances, and even Youtube and such, for people to all make searches and watch videos and whatever on one another's IP addresses so the algorithm can't pin any data to anyone. Then I realized I just basically invented the Tor network.

I remember getting a hold of a copy of Papillion on a vacation with my family when I was a kid and all those prisoners stored objects up their ass, which made no physical sense to me, so I went to my father and asked him if you could store objects in your asshole and the look he gave me I will never forget," WHAT? Why are you asking me that?" I explained and his response was, "that's a good reason to stay out of prison."

Greece: Revolutionary Prisoners Welcome the Liberation of George Abdallah


Following the release of Georges Abdallah and his arrival in Lebanon on July 25, several revolutionary prisoners held in Greece welcomed this announcement, which comes after more than 40 years of imprisonment in France. Anarchist prisoner Nikos Maziotis (left in the photo) wrote a statement on August 2 to celebrate the news.

[…] “Your release from prison is one of the greatest pieces of good news and has enormous meaning for all of us who are part of the international anti-capitalist, anti-state and anti-authoritarian movement. Because good news for one is good news for everyone, it is good for the movements, the peoples in struggle, the poor, the proletariat and the activists incarcerated in prisons, as is of course the opposite for bad news. And the fact that you came out of prison unshakeable, without any questioning of your struggle, is a huge political and moral victory for all of us. »


Similarly, former member of the November 17 Revolutionary Organization and Marxist prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas sent a message after the announcement of the Arab communist’s release.

[…] “Today is a day of immense joy. The beautiful news of your liberation has passed through our cells. I will not speak of liberation. You have always been free of mind, soul, heart, as are those who resist. Only now have they been forced to free your body, to join your brothers in the struggle for a standing Lebanon, and a liberated Palestine. The arch-terrorists, the murderers, the colonialists, the arch-despoilers of the peoples have not succeeded in slandering you by calling you a terrorist or a criminal. Your only crime was to be and always to be a revolutionary, not to have yielded, not to have deserted for a single moment your great responsibility. »

'The ABC News report cited "sources familiar with what Maxwell said," that she claimed "Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."'

Hmm. Do you think a convicted sex trafficker of underage girls would find it concerning if the paedophile ring she supplied had intercourse with said children?

No, I think not either. That statement means nothing.

She apparently spoke about 100 people. Tell me when we talk about Prince Andrew. If she doesn't, then that speaks volumes as to the focus. If she doesn't, then the UK judiciary needs to get in on this act, because given Prince Andrew's mommy dearest dropped a bucketload of cash, we need to investigate any possible misappropriation of UK taxpayer funds, at the very least.

A new study suggests that material from Earth's core is leaking into the mantle and reaching the surface. The research, which challenges the long-held belief of an impassable core-mantle boundary, is based on the discovery of primordial isotopes like helium-3 and ruthenium-100 in volcanic rocks.

Earth’s Core Appears To Be Leaking Up and Out of Earth’s Surface | Quanta Magazine

Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planet’s center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size entities anchored to the core-mantle boundary might be involved.

I've worked my entire adult life: over 15000 days straight without unemployment. In all those days I've always been a doer, not a director - even when the job was being a director. I'm very hands on. I still don't know what it is about those who cannot do anything that gets them all on the same wagon shouting, "This will revolutionize the thing I could never do and really don't understand!" The best explanation I've heard for this type of mob mentality is, "They don't know what they don't know."

This week’s student dispatch from the collapsing citadel of American academia announced the Trump administration has forced Ivies Columbia and Brown to cough up their most highly guarded data: every applicant’s grades, test scores, and race. It’s like the Ivy League’s version of a TSA cavity search. The universities also had to promise —cross their hearts and hope to lose funding— that they will stop using race or even sneaky race proxies in admissions.

That’s why this is so huge. Trump has thrown down a dollar-stuffed gauntlet: if you want federal funds, you must prove you are following federal law. Not that they must show their work, the whole scam comes to a screeching halt. Yale law professor Justin Driver said morosely, “The Trump administration’s ambition here is to send a chill through admissions offices all over the country.” Precisely.
