New GHF hoax incoming. Group shoots Palestinians at the GHF aid site, likely so Israel can blame Hamas
Journalist MosabAbuToha shares a witness account of an attack near a Rafah GHF site this morning:
- Around 3AM, gunmen speaking fluent Palestinian dialect gathered crowds, pretending to manage aid lines.
- At 7AM, they opened fire — shooting some people in the head — before fleeing toward Rafah, where Israeli forces are stationed.

China’s Dual-Front Military Drills Signal Preparation for Taiwan Conflict and Nuclear War
Recently, the People's Liberation Army of China conducted two major military exercises simultaneously in different parts of the country. In the east, an airborne battalion conducted military exercises that were interpreted as preparation for a potential attack on Taiwan.
At the same time, chemical defense and engineering support exercises were conducted in the Xinjiang region. Some of these activities suggest preparation not only for regional conflicts, but also for scenarios involving weapons of mass destruction.
These exercises demonstrate the strategic importance of China's northwest regions, where many of the country's nuclear facilities are located. For example, in 2021, The Washington Post reported on the construction of 119 suspected missile silos near Yumen in Gansu province, and in 2022, The New York Times cited satellite images that showed another 110 suspected silos under construction near Hami in Xinjiang.
Therefore, if a conflict involving Taiwan were to occur and the US were to intervene, China’s nuclear facilities could become priority targets. Given the current geopolitical situation, China’s recent military exercises appear to have been designed with just such a scenario in mind, including the prospect of nuclear war.
This is dumb as hell lol. First of all there is no threat of China invading Taiwan. You can't invade your own country. Second of all Taiwan is perfectly content with the current arrangement this is all just bullshit scaremongering by western press.
Also you didn't even put a source so this is not "news" at all...

How I Started Living Off-Grid with a Portable Solar Kit – What Worked, What Didn’t
I’m not someone living in the woods full-time or running everything off solar power. But I was curious about off-grid living and wanted to reduce my reliance on the grid — especially after a few too many power outages and rising electricity bills.
About a year ago, I decided to try it out in a small way. I bought a portable solar generator setup and started using it during camping trips and occasionally at home. Here's what worked, what didn’t, and what I wish I knew from the start.
#What I Bought
I went with the Jackery Explorer 1000 along with two SolarSaga 100W foldable panels. My goal was to run small essentials like a mini fridge, LED lights, and a laptop during camping or during short-term outages.
I chose this setup because I didn’t want to deal with rooftop installations, and I liked the idea of something I could pack up and take anywhere.
##What Went Well
Easy to use: Setup was simple. Plug the panels into the power station, and it starts charging.
Portable: I’ve taken this setup on multiple trips. It fits easily in the car and doesn’t take up much space.
Quiet and clean: Unlike gas generators, this setup is silent and doesn’t smell. That was a big plus for me.
Efficient on sunny days: In good sunlight, it charged fully in about 6 hours.
#What Didn’t Go So Well
I overestimated the battery: I thought 1000Wh would last forever. It doesn’t. If you’re running a fridge, laptop, and charging phones, the power drains quickly.
**Cloudy days were a problem: **No sun means no charge. I hadn’t thought that through and ended up stuck once with a dead battery.
I forgot to unplug things: A couple of times I left devices charging overnight and woke up with a fully drained battery. Rookie mistake, but it happened.
#What I Wish I Knew Before Starting
Know your power usage: Every small device adds up. It’s important to understand how much power your appliances use.
Don’t try to do everything at once: Start small and build from there. It’s better to test the waters than to buy everything at once.
Being off-grid changes your habits: I became more aware of what I was using and started planning power use more carefully. It’s a good shift in mindset.
#What I’d Do Differently
Add a second battery for backup
Use a stand or tripod to angle the solar panels for better sun exposure
Track daily power usage to avoid surprises
If you’ve tried something similar or are thinking about it, feel free to share your experience. I’m always interested in learning from what others are doing.

An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate
Hello, recent Reddit convert here and I'm loving it. You even inspired me to figure out how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.
One thing I can't understand is the level of acrimony toward LLMs. I see things like "stochastic parrot", "glorified autocomplete", etc. If you need an example, the comments section for the post on Apple saying LLMs don't reason is a doozy of angry people: infosec.pub/post/29574988
While I didn't expect a community of vibecoders, I am genuinely curious about why LLMs strike such an emotional response with this crowd. It's a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying (Veo 3) in a few years and I am personally concerned about many of the safety/control issues in the future.
So I ask: what is the real reason this is such an emotional topic for you in particular? My personal guess is that the claims about replacing software engineers is the biggest issue, but help me understand.

ब्रिटेन छोड़ने की होड़: उच्च आय और सुविधाओं के बावजूद क्यों भाग रहे हैं लोग?
United Kingdom News: ब्रिटेन में ब्रिटेन छोड़ने की होड़ तेजी से बढ़ रही है। ब्रिटिश काउंसिल के हालिया सर्वे के अनुसार, 18 से 30 वर्ष के 75% युवा विदेश में बसने का सपना देख रहे हैं। उच्च आय और सुविधाओं के बावजूद, बढ़ती महंगाई, भारी टैक्स, और हाउसिंग संकट ने लोगों को बेचैन कर दिया है। दो-तिहाई युवाओं का मानना है कि उनका जीवनस्तर उनके माता-पिता से कम है। लोग अब ऑस्ट्रेलिया, कनाडा, और मध्य-पूर्व के टैक्स-मुक्त देशों की ओर रुख कर रहे हैं।
हाउसिंग संकट: घर का सपना टूट रहा
ब्रिटेन में घर खरीदना अब युवाओं के लिए एक दूर का सपना बन गया है। लंदन में एक 2BHK फ्लैट का किराया इतना है कि उससे भारत के मेट्रो शहरों में पूरे साल का खर्च निकल सकता है। यूरोस्टैट के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, ब्रिटेन के एक-आठवें नागरिक अपनी आय का 40% से अधिक हिस्सा किराए पर खर्च करते हैं। डेलॉइट प्रॉपर्टी इंडेक्स के मुताबिक, ब्रिटेन में एक नया घर खरीदने के लिए 11 साल की पूरी कमाई बचानी पड़ती है, जबकि जर्मनी में यह अवधि केवल 3.2 साल है। यह संकट युवाओं को अमेरिका और ऑस्ट्रेलिया जैसे देशों की ओर धकेल रहा है।
टैक्स का बोझ: बचत पर भारी पड़ता है
ब्रिटेन की सामाजिक कल्याण योजनाएं मशहूर हैं, लेकिन इन्हें चलाने के लिए भारी टैक्स लगाए जाते हैं। 125,140 पाउंड से अधिक कमाने वालों पर 45% आयकर लगता है। इसके अलावा, विरासत कर, पूंजीगत लाभ कर, और कॉर्पोरेट टैक्स ने लोगों की बचत को मुश्किल बना दिया है। कई ब्रिटिश नागरिक अब संयुक्त अरब अमीरात जैसे टैक्स-मुक्त देशों की ओर जा रहे हैं, जहां न तो आयकर है और न ही पूंजीगत लाभ कर। हेनली प्राइवेट वेल्थ माइग्रेशन रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, 2023 में 3,200 उच्च आय वाले लोग ब्रिटेन छोड़ चुके हैं।
नेशनल हेल्थ सर्विस की बदहाली
ब्रिटेन की नेशनल हेल्थ सर्विस (NHS) कभी गर्व का विषय थी, लेकिन अब यह लंबी प्रतीक्षा अवधि, कर्मचारी कमी, और गिरती गुणवत्ता से जूझ रही है। मरीजों को इलाज के लिए महीनों इंतजार करना पड़ता है। कई लोग निजी स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं का सहारा ले रहे हैं, जो महंगी हैं। कुछ ब्रिटिश नागरिक अब बेहतर स्वास्थ्य सुविधाओं के लिए विदेशों का रुख कर रहे हैं। यह स्थिति लोगों को यह सोचने पर मजबूर कर रही है कि क्या स्वास्थ्य के लिए देश बदलना बेहतर है।
सामाजिक और राजनीतिक अस्थिरता
ब्रेक्सिट के बाद से ब्रिटेन में राजनीतिक ध्रुवीकरण और सामाजिक तनाव बढ़ा है। नस्लभेदी घटनाएं और प्रवासियों के प्रति नकारात्मक माहौल ने स्थानीय नागरिकों को भी प्रभावित किया है। कई लोग महसूस करते हैं कि उनका देश अब वैसा नहीं रहा जैसा पहले था। फाइनेंशियल टाइम्स की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, लंदन में रहने वाले लोग अन्य यूरोपीय राजधानियों जैसे मैड्रिड और बर्लिन की तुलना में अधिक खर्च का सामना कर रहे हैं। इससे लोग स्थिर और सस्ते विकल्पों की तलाश में हैं।
युवाओं की बेचैनी: बेहतर जीवन की खोज
ब्रिटिश काउंसिल के सर्वे में सामने आया कि युवा न केवल आर्थिक कारणों से, बल्कि जीवन की गुणवत्ता के लिए भी देश छोड़ रहे हैं। मौसम भी एक बड़ा कारक है। ब्रिटेन में सालाना केवल 1,403 घंटे धूप मिलती है, जबकि स्पेन में यह 2,500-2,800 घंटे है। बेहतर मौसम, सस्ता जीवन, और कम तनाव वाले देश युवाओं को आकर्षित कर रहे हैं। डेली मेल की एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, नौ में से दस ब्रिटिश प्रवासी मानते हैं कि विदेश में उनकी जीवनशैली बेहतर हुई है।
अपराध और सुरक्षा की चिंता
ब्रिटेन के शहरों में बढ़ते अपराध और असामाजिक व्यवहार ने भी लोगों को देश छोड़ने के लिए प्रेरित किया है। लंदन और ग्लासगो जैसे शहरों में चाकू और बंदूक से संबंधित अपराध बढ़े हैं। कई परिवार सुरक्षित और शांत जीवन के लिए ऑस्ट्रेलिया और न्यूजीलैंड जैसे देशों की ओर जा रहे हैं। यह प्रवृत्ति खासकर उन परिवारों में अधिक है जो अपने बच्चों के लिए बेहतर भविष्य चाहते हैं।

Jean-Luc Melénchon: PRESS RELEASE FROM FRANCE INSOUMISE: Interception of the Freedom Flotilla ship by Israel
PRESS RELEASE FROM FRANCE INSOUMISEInterception of the Freedom Flotilla ship by Israel: illegal arrest of 12 humanitarian workers and peace activists, including French MEP Rima Hassan and Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
June 9, 2025
We express our deepest outrage following the interception, last night, by Israeli authorities, of the Freedom Flotilla ship, which was carrying humanitarian aid intended for the civilian population of Gaza, subjected to a total blockade since March 2, 2025.
On board the ship were 12 humanitarian workers and peace activists, engaged in a strictly civilian and non-violent mission. Among them were French MEP Rima Hassan and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, figures recognized for their commitment to human rights and international justice.
This interception, carried out outside Israeli territorial waters, constitutes a flagrant violation of international law, particularly maritime law and humanitarian law. The arrest of the crew members and the seizure of aid intended for a population in immediate humanitarian distress are unacceptable.
We call on states, the European Union, the United Nations, and the entire international community to:
▪️Strongly condemn this illegal arrest
▪️Demand the immediate and unconditional release of all crew members;
▪️Pressure the Israeli authorities to allow humanitarian aid to reach Gaza without hindrance, in accordance with international law
It is the duty of all nations committed to human rights not to remain silent in the face of these flagrant violations of international law committed by Israel.Solidarity is not a crime. Free the Freedom Flotilla crew!
We salute those holding a vigil at Place de la République tonight. This Monday, June 9, join us across France for mobilizations in support of the Freedom Flotilla and for an end to the genocide in Gaza. In Paris, 6 PM at Place de la République.
