Louisiana court halts criminal indictment against state attorney general

Republican Liz Murrill was indicted for the alleged intimidation of New Orleans elected officials

Louisiana’s highest court has granted a stay of the proceedings in a criminal indictment targeting the state’s attorney general, in the latest twist of a high-stakes political battle between Republican state leaders and Democrats who govern its most famous city, New Orleans.

Liz Murrill, a Republican who is Louisiana’s first female attorney general, was slapped with a 16-count indictment on Thursday by a New Orleans grand jury charging her with intimidation and malfeasance. The charges effectively accused her of trying to intimidate New Orleans officials who fought a law passed by Republican legislators to overhaul the city’s courts.

Political tensions for months have intensified between Louisiana state Republicans and Democratic New Orleans officials over a new law that abolished a court clerk office won by Calvin Duncan, who spent nearly three decades in prison in connection to a murder that he was exonerated of having committed.

Murrill at one point told eight New Orleans officials – including Helena Moreno, the mayor, and Jason Williams, the district attorney – that they could face removal from their jobs because they opposed the law eliminating Duncan’s position.

Duncan has said he believes state officials were retaliating against him by eliminating the job that he won in November with 68% of the votes cast. Murrill and Landry have long refused to acknowledge Duncan as exonerated, though he’s listed on the National Registry of Exonerations.

POND, JAMES POND 🌊🕵️‍♂️

Permis de caler
Pas le temps de sécher

Un propriétaire d’Aston Martin Vantage, trop sûr de lui, a fait le buzz après avoir tenté de traverser une route fortement inondée, ce qui a immédiatement immobilisé sa voiture de sport haut de gamme. Dépourvue d’une conversion amphibie de la branche Q, la voiture surbaissée s’est enlisée dans l’eau stagnante et a subi une panne moteur catastrophique. Surnommé « James Pond » par les internautes, le conducteur doit désormais faire face à une facture de réparation exorbitante après avoir traité une voiture de course haute performance comme un véhicule tout-terrain.

Early heatwaves are devastating French agriculture and leaving farmers helpless
"What worries me is the increasing frequency and proximity of these episodes," said Nédelec, from the broiler poultry sector. "In the last 10 years, there have been heatwaves, but we only had occasional excess mortality, never something this massive and widespread." "What we're experiencing now will be a normal summer in 2050, which spells disaster. We don't know how to farm with an average temperature increase of 2.5°C; it has a profound effect on farmers' morale," observed Nicolas Fortin, national secretary of the farmers' union Confédération Paysanne, who spoke of the risk of "climate burn-out."

The southern sector can become the new hotspot of the frontline if the stalemate loosens. In this video, I discuss how Ukraine's drone war is creating supply constraints for the Russians and how this particularly impacts the southern front and Crimea. I also discuss the potential of this turning into a new counteroffensive on the ground and the dilemmas this would create for Russia.

PieFed v1.7 is released: Following People, Faster Browsing & Smarter Moderation
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

This release saw contributions from some new people, which is great to see.

In this release you can now follow other people, not just join communities. When you follow someone their posts will show up in your 'Subscribed' feed, regardless of whether you have joined the community it was posted in or not.

You can also follow Mastodon+ accounts. Getting Mastodon integration working really well is going to be a long journey but this release gets us headed in that direction. Eventually I hope that this integration will provide a steady source of timely content to cross-post into threadiverse communities as well as being a peer citizen in the Mastodon-flavored parts of the fediverse.

New:


  • You can follow other users and their posts will always show up in your 'Subscribed' feed, regardless of the community they were posted into. Following Mastodon users works also but should be considered as very experimental. This will improve soon.

vaEEQEzRySsPTnR.png

In the future you will be able to upload a list of people that you exported from your mastodon profile and follow them in one go. And add people that your instance doesn't already know about - but not yet. These features will be rolled out in future versions once the dust settles on this version.

  • Mastodon posts have a new design that is distinct from threadiverse posts - there is no post title and larger author profile pic.
  • Communities can be marked as being a favorite, which makes them more prominent in the 'Communities' menu.

HHHV9TTSGgWRQbg.png

  • Clicking anywhere in a post teaser takes you to the teaser - you don't need to aim for the title
  • Dramatically improved page load times on Chrome-based browsers (Speculation Rules API).
  • Little spinner thing while a vote is being cast
  • Updated translations
  • Preview markdown when editing a wiki page
  • RSS feeds on the home page, including a feed of posts from your subscribed communities
  • Topic selection during onboarding looks way nicer now.
  • Accessibility improvements to headers.


For Developers:


  • Massive CSS reorganisation by travis-jeans. Lots more usage of CSS variables. Improves maintenance and accessibility.
  • API: Users can now log out
  • API: Follow and unfollow users
  • API: video file upload works now


For Instance Admins:


  • Communities where every moderator is a bot or inactive are flagged as un-moderated. Reports about posts in un-moderated local communities go to admins.
  • Warnings on domains can be 3 types instead of only a warning - the other two are 'helpful context' and 'recommendation'

6ms4yFRd0An2PZd.png :: align-center

  • Send a DM to a user asking them if they are a bot, with 1 click. If they do not respond their account is automatically flagged as a bot
  • Email bounce inbox can now be accessed through POP3, not just IMAP
  • Tokens used by mobile apps can be set to expire, using the JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS environment variable
  • More accurate tracking of when a user was last active. This will significantly increase your MAU stats.
  • Strict allowlist mode to reduce attack surface exposed by federation
  • /admin/federation form split up into 3 separate pages rather than one long confusing page.
  • Option to disable DM sending for individual users if they lack the self-control to use it responsibly.
  • compose.yaml has changed a bit: For most containers the build target is now "runtime' instead of 'builder'.

For example

  celery:  
    build:  
      context: .  
      target: runtime

  • Topics can be associated with countries, for more targeted onboarding suggestions based on the viewer's location.
  • To reduce server load and network traffic, a maximum number of votes that can be cast each day has been set at a level that will only affect the top 2% of voters, leaving the bottom 98% unaffected. This quota can be altered with an environment variable. View a profile to see how much of their daily quota has been used.


To upgrade from 1.6.x

git pull  
git checkout v1.7.x

At this point you might see an error message about a merge conflict with compose.yaml. To preserve your custom compose.yaml you will need to copy it somewhere else, then git checkout compose.yaml then git pull again (or use git's stash feature). This time the pull will succeed so after that copy your custom compose.yaml it back, overwriting the one from git.

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

If you had to do the compose.yaml fix up earlier then you might want to compare what you have with codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/b… and manually copy and paste some improvements in particular the target: part of the db container.

Wonderful to see such changes continue to be made to advance PieFed and thereby the Threadiverse/Fediverse overall!

a maximum number of votes that can be cast each day


I don't get this one though - isn't voting an actual contribution, alongside commenting and posting, which makes the place feel more welcoming and active? Is the fear that some are making an outsize amount compared to others, perhaps especially a bot-net rather than actual human activity? We need people to post more, to comment more, and to not merely lurk but vote more - I've been trying to push myself to vote more, as nobody wants to keep posting to a place that offers <10 votes to a post, and only one or two upvotes per comment. Mind you, I doubt I am one of the top 2%, but even losing access to some of those contributions (PugJesus?😛) seems naively to me like it would impact us all, making the place seem less active?

Besides which, enforcement seems an issue: anyone who truly wanted to vote more often could simply make an alt and keep right on going, especially if they did so on other instances then it wouldn't be readily detectable, and wouldn't the total number of votes that ends up having to be processed still remain the same in that case? (Though perhaps it's easier to process in batch from other instances?). But more to the point, I wonder even if for like the bottom rather than top 2%, will this send a message to users that voting is less of a desirable activity, that they should be sparing and only dole those out for things that they feel are truly worthwhile... and thereby vote 10x less often, making the network overall that much less active?

If this restriction was due to technical limitations, then I'd love to see a rate-limit of any form of contributions - e.g. at most one or two per second, rather than a public statement that voting is now encouraged less than it was before. But again, I am not sure I understand this to begin with so it's just a thought!

According to Rimu this voting quota will affect 2% of users. To me it looks to be high enough that it will mostly serve as a way to discourage voting warfare (upvote everything you agree with, downvote everything you don’t like). If you limit your downvotes to things like offtopic, rule breaking content and bad faith actors I doubt you’ll run out of votes and I hope that was the intention behind implementing it.

"Démocratie(s) ?" - un documentaire de Henri Poulain - Julien Goetz - Sylvain Lapoix (2018)
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Qu’est-ce que la démocratie aujourd’hui ? Dans quel état est-elle ? Comment en sommes-nous arrivés là ? Et, surtout, comment pourrions-nous la réinventer ? Si la démocratie n’est pas qu’une succession de rendez-vous électoraux, alors nous devons aller à sa rencontre. C’est le but de ce film.

Au fil des années, nous avons pris l’habitude de réduire la démocratie à des rendez-vous électoraux. Comme si ce n’était qu’une histoire de bulletin dans l’urne. Sauf que la démocratie n’est pas qu’un calendrier électoral, pas plus qu’un empilement d’institutions avec lesquelles nous serions régulièrement en contact. C’est bien plus que cela.

Avec ce film, nous allons partir à la rencontre de la démocratie dans toutes les strates de notre société. Explorer son passé pour mieux comprendre cette « crise démocratique » qui est sur toutes les lèvres. Et, surtout, nous allons montrer celles et ceux qui tentent de la faire revivre et réinventent aujourd’hui de nouvelles formes de démocratie.

Am I reading this block diagram right?
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

From the service manual for the Yamaha DX-100 FM synthesiser. The way this looks to me, both the 12v DC power supply, and 9v DC battery power get routed through exactly the same voltage regulator.

So it should be possible to just straight replace the 6x C-cells with 3x 18650s without needing to make any other changes, right?

I know exactly enough electronics to be dangerous, which is why I'm double checking here in case I've failed to account for something.

I'm aware that fresh 18650s put out a little over 4v, but I seriously doubt the vReg tops out at exactly 12v. I can disassemble the unit and check part numbers etc if necessary but I was really hoping to avoid that as it's quite a chore.

Lithium batteries are a bit finicky, they self-discharge, and the rate varies from cell to cell, so if you have three cells in series at 4V, some of them will drop in voltage faster than the others over time

When you then charge them in series like that, it'll charge until the three cells combined are at 12V, but that might mean that one is at 4V, the second is 3.9V, and the last is 4.1V

This drift keeps happening over time, and eventually one cell will end up at a dangerously high voltage, potentially catching fire

That's why with lithium batteries, you need a monitoring circuit that keeps the voltages of the cells balanced

So i would not advice you to simply swap them in like that, you could charge the cells in an external charger and then use them in the device, but remove or isolate the 12V supply (add a diode to the batteries so power can go out of the cells, but not go back in) so it doesn't charge them while installed

NiMH batteries might be a better fit, they basically self-balance i believe, but you'd need 10 cells in series to reach 12V

Edit: completely missed the switch there, yeah 18650 cells charged externally will likely be fine, they are usually charged to 4.2V, so 12.6V total, the regulator is likely rated higher than that

It looks to me like the 12v supply already isolates the batteries (some kind of barrel jack with integrated switch), but regardless I would definitely be charging them external to the device. I have a dedicated charger already so it would be quicker and easier to use that and just swap in a new set as needed. I'll be 3D printing adapter housings such as this, so adding a diode into that assembly should be easy enough. Thanks for your advice!

Master degree in EE here. It will almost certainly be fine to swap those batteries like that, I would be more cautious if it was some cheap Temu device but for a vintage Yamaha you'll be fine.

One thing I will caution you about though, the synth almost certainly lacks under-voltage protection and could drain your 18650s below their minimum voltage. Make sure your cells have built-in protection or add some of your own.

Download throttlers are bullshit, trying to waste your time so you spend money (or click ads/accept offers that generate them revenue). By slowing your download, they're keeping you connected longer. Downloading 100MB over 10 minutes at the rate of 10MB/minute or downloading it over 1 minute at a rate of 100MB/minute still transfers 100MB, there's no difference in their bandwidth cost. However, the longer you're connected, the less bandwidth they have for other users. So it's actually in their best interest to give you the download ASAP and get you off their proverbial tit so they can serve the next user.

Question about nuphy Air75 V3

Hey folks, I am using for all my life low profile keyboards like the laptop keyboards and now I use Logitech MX master keyboars the small one and I like it.

Recently I seen a colleague of mine buy those mechanical keyboards but those with the soft clicky sounds and j kind of like it.

I ended up looking at this one nuphy Air75 V3, what do you guys think about it? I am using Linux at home on my computers and windows at work, so the keyboard would have to be easily connectable to both no issues on Linux.

What do you think about it?

I have a full set of books that I have been waiting to read, I have so much stuff I can do without access to the internet, a phone or a screen ... people need to wake up, and remember that the world was not like this less than 30 years ago. People can easily go back to it, and i BET it will be MORE fun, BETTER for our psychology, and people will be more happy!

What’s so good about European food You Asked!
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Ever wondered why the same food product looks or tastes different in the EU compared to the US or other parts of the world? We’re answering your comments from social media about EU food safety laws, pesticide bans, and how the EU protects consumers from substandard imports, while supporting farmers with billions in funding.

From banned chemicals to dual-quality food scandals, we tackle your biggest questions about EU food rules, straight from the comments! Why does the EU reject foods allowed in the US, China, or Morocco? How do Maximum Residue Levels keep your plate safe? And what’s being done to stop brands selling ‘discount’ versions of products in Eastern Europe?

We break it all down with real examples, like why feta must come from Greece or how Gouda earns its Protected Designation of Origin label.

DOJ declines to turn over additional Epstein files, says redactions were appropriate
The Department of Justice on Thursday declined to turn over additional information from the Epstein files as ordered by a judge, arguing the materials include sensitive victim information or were appropriately redacted as required by law.

Hours ahead of the deadline to turn over the materials or explain why they were properly withheld, Associate U.S. Attorney General Stanley Woodward asked the judge to delay the deadline by 60 days or disregard it entirely by accepting the DOJ's reasons for withholding the materials.

"Although the Government strongly disagrees with the Court's ruling that the [Epstein Files Transparency Act] is enforceable by private parties through the Administrative Procedure Act, the Government welcomes this opportunity to resolve any confusion regarding the records at issue in this case," Woodward wrote.

United Nations Ambassador Danny Danon’s twisted war on the truth
Whether Israelis will ever comprehend the irreparable damage inflicted upon their country’s reputation by their UN Ambassador, Danny Danon, is a moot point. The damage Israel has done to itself through its barbaric practices in occupied Palestine is simply impossible to overcome.

Danon, however, utilises a peculiar approach to defending Israel within international institutions: he relies on bullying, intimidation, and an overt attempt to silence anyone who dares to challenge the official Israeli narrative—particularly women leaders.

Yet, what makes his behaviour most outrageous is his deployment of these abrasive tactics to suppress an issue that demands the utmost sensitivity: the systemic use of sexual violence and human rights abuses against Palestinians.

The confrontation took place during a UN General Assembly session convened to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. Senior UN officials were presenting harrowing findings documenting sexual violence against Palestinian detainees.

True to form, Danon refused to engage with the substance of the reports. For Israeli diplomacy, the enemy is never merely the armed adversary; it is the judge, the independent human rights observer, and the UN investigator whose sole mandate is to document violations of international law.

The immediate target of Danon’s wrath was Pramila Patten, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict. Instead of reflecting on the grim findings, Danon demanded Patten’s resignation. He accused her and the broader international community of harbouring an “obsession” with targeting Israel.

When Vanessa Frazier, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, attempted to intervene on a point of order per established protocol, Danon unleashed a vitriolic verbal assault. Refusing to yield, he shouted over her, ordering her to “be quiet” and drowning out the chamber with his outbursts. “Shame on you. You are part of this obsession,” Danon bellowed.

While such unruly behaviour should have resulted in Danon’s immediate removal from the chamber, the diplomatic asymmetry of the UN prevailed. It was Frazier who found herself trying to de-escalate, politely clarifying that her procedural request was “not personal.” Danon shot back with typical defiance: “You will not be allowed to bully us.”

Herein lies the supreme irony of Israel’s diplomatic relationship with the UN and international law. Israel stands as one of the most egregious, serial violators of international law in modern history—a decades-long pattern of behaviour left unpunished by Western vetoes, which ultimately emboldened it to carry out an ongoing genocide in Gaza. Yet, Israeli officials persistently claim the mantle of the ultimate victim, alleging they are the targets of antisemitism, unfair bias, and now, “bullying” by the very institutions they defy.

But the mountain of evidence cannot be shouted away. According to an extensive report issued by Patten’s office, there are verified patterns of systemic abuse, sexual degradation, and psychological torture weaponised against Palestinian men, women, and children in Israeli detention camps like Sde Teiman.

The weight of this evidence reached such an undeniable threshold that the UN Secretary-General’s office formally added Israel to the global ‘List of Shame’—the blacklist of states committing grave violations against children in armed conflict.

None of this exposure is enough to convince Danon or the broader Israeli political establishment that Israel does not possess a sovereign right to violate international law. In their view, merely pointing out these crimes constitutes an act of aggression.

This systemic denial extends to every facet of the conflict. A comprehensive UN investigation recently concluded that Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza as a core component of its military campaign.

The numbers are staggering: Between 7 October 2023, and 7 October 2025, an estimated 20,179 Palestinian children were killed—about 30 percent of all Palestinian deaths.

“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” stated commission chair Srinivasan Muralidhar, noting that Israeli authorities have systematically continued to commit the crime of genocide.

While these findings provide another layer of ironclad legal proof regarding genocidal intent, the true significance of the report lies in its exposure of the rationale behind targeting youth. Typically, the disproportionate slaughter of children and women is dismissed by Western apologists as “collateral damage”. The UN inquiry shattered this defense, offering a far more consequential conclusion: the targeting of Gaza’s children is part of a calculated strategy to destroy the biological continuity and future existence of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

As Muralidhar bluntly summarized: “By targeting children, Israel is attacking the very capacity of the Palestinian people to exist.”

It remains a profound disappointment that the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice—often swift to indict war crimes committed elsewhere—continue to move at a glacial pace regarding Israel.

Tragically, the catastrophe continues unabated because there is still no meaningful international mechanism willing to enforce sanctions or employ genuine pressure to halt it.

This is precisely why Danny Danon wants the world to be quiet. His outbursts are not merely directed at UN diplomats; they are directed at global civil society, ordinary citizens, and anyone refusing to look away. Israel demands absolute silence while Palestinians are starved, raped, and murdered. According to its twisted logic, committing these atrocities is an inherent right, and objecting to them is an act of malice.

If this logic is allowed to prevail, it becomes the blueprint for every future aggressor who wishes to kill, rape, and starve a population for geopolitical gain. Palestinians and Lebanese are already forced to inhabit this dystopian reality. Our collective responsibility is clear: we must refuse to be quiet. We must speak out, ensuring our voices drown out the shouts of Danon and his peers, so that murder and systemic violence are never normalised as tools of military necessity.

At least 21,000 children murdered in Gaza after 1,000 days of war, Save the Children says
At least 21,000 children have been confirmed killed in Gaza during 1,000 days of war, while hundreds of thousands more have been displaced and deprived of education, Save the Children said on Thursday.

Marking the 1,000th day of the war, the aid agency said children continue to dream of peace despite losing their homes, schools and sense of safety.

“Every day for the past 1,000 days, the world has failed one million children in Gaza, by not intervening to stop the killing and maiming of children,” said Save the Children’s Regional Director for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe Ahmad Ahendawi.

The organization said at least 21,000 children have been confirmed killed during the war, though the true toll is likely higher because many remain buried under rubble.

It said more than 800,000 children, about 80% of Gaza’s child population, have been displaced, while Gaza’s 625,000 school-age children have missed three years of formal education.

Children who spoke to Save the Children described living in constant fear while holding onto hopes for a better future.

“We could die at any moment. I hope the war stops for us,” said Amani, 14.

“I hope the war stops so that I can continue my education in Gaza and live my rights as a human like any girl in other countries. There are many children in Gaza whose voices are not heard.”

Another 14-year-old, Bisan, said: “My wish is for the war to stop, for every one of us to return to their home, and for our lives to return to how they were.”

The humanitarian situation also continues to worsen, with an estimated 245,000 children at risk of or affected by malnutrition because humanitarian aid remains limited, the organization said.

Save the Children cited a recent UN Commission of Inquiry report alleging that Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in allegations of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.

The organization called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, accountability for crimes against children, and the suspension of arms transfers to Israel.

Although a ceasefire was reached in October 2025, Israel has continued its attacks in the Gaza Strip. Overall, the war has claimed more than 73,000 lives and destroyed the enclave that would take years to rebuild.
