Israel’s onslaught on Iran, which began Friday night, entered a new phase on Sunday. Having destroyed large portions of Iran’s air defenses, attacked military and nuclear facilities, Israel has now shifted its targets to civilian infrastructure, including water treatment facilities and energy infrastructure.

The Israeli military reported striking more than 80 targets in Iran overnight Saturday and Sunday. “Tehran residents reported the heaviest wave of attacks yet on Sunday afternoon, with explosions ringing out every half hour,” the Washington Post reported.

Among the targets were water treatment facilities in northern Iran, whose destruction sent waves of sewage flowing in Tehran’s streets. On Saturday, Israel attacked the main oil refinery in Tehran and South Pars, the world’s largest natural gas field.

On Sunday, Israel expanded its strikes to airports, manufacturing plants and police stations.

Commenting on the shift, the Post wrote, “The targets appear to indicate an expansion of Israel’s war aims… By striking Iranian industry and infrastructure, Israel is aiming to degrade the Iranian state, further damage the country’s already-reeling economy, and possibly trigger regime change, according to analysts and former officials.”

Richard Nephew, a former State Department and White House official, told the Washington Post, “It sure does feel like this is a regime change ending, rather than taking out the nuclear program.” He added, “Israel may have decided that the best way to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was to topple the Iranian regime.”

In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked whether “regime change” in Iran was a goal of his government. Netanyahu replied that it “could certainly be the result because the Iranian regime is very weak.”...

The psychological defense mechanisms liberal zionists use to block out reality. The coping is real ya'll.

A recent skirmish over the 1 percent's feces is currently being worked out by the Florida state legislature.

One of the places that Jeff Bezos lives is a man-made island off the coast of Florida called Indian Creek Village. The island is predominantly populated by other billionaires and is colloquially known as the “Billionaire Bunker.” In fact, if you’re not a billionaire, it’s quite difficult to get in. The bridge from the mainland to the island is closed to the public and protected by armed guards and a sophisticated security system.

However, if the island is almost entirely cut off from the rest of humanity, the island’s inhabitants still seem intent on sharing one thing with members of the outside world: their piss and shit.

Indian Creek doesn’t have the underground infrastructure to deal with its own poop, so the solution it came up with was to funnel it through Surfside into a wider regional sewage system. Unfortunately, Surfside didn’t want the poop unless Indian Creek was willing to contribute $10 million to the community for future sewer system improvements. Indian Creek has referred to this request as “extortion.”

The text of a budget reconciliation bill released by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last week calls for the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation, known as AST, to begin charging licensing fees to space companies next year. The fees would phase in over eight years, after which the FAA would adjust them to keep pace with inflation. The money would go into a trust fund to help pay for the operating costs of the FAA's commercial space office.

While the FAA's commercial space office receives more federal funding today, the budget hasn't grown to keep up with the cadence of commercial spaceflight. SpaceX officials urged the FAA to double its licensing staff in 2023 after the company experienced delays in securing launch licenses.

Cruz's section of the Senate reconciliation bill calls for the FAA to charge commercial space companies per pound of payload mass, beginning with 25 cents per pound in 2026 and increasing to $1.50 per pound in 2033. Subsequent fee rates would change based on inflation. The overall fee per launch or entry would be capped at $30,000 in 2026, increasing to $200,000 in 2033, and then adjusted to keep pace with inflation.

Companies may soon pay a fee for their rockets to share the skies with airplanes

Some space companies aren’t necessarily against this idea, but SpaceX hasn’t spoken.

The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

She finds the whole idea absurd. To Prof Marci Shore, the notion that the Guardian, or anyone else, should want to interview her about the future of the US is ridiculous. She’s an academic specialising in the history and culture of eastern Europe and describes herself as a “Slavicist”, yet here she is, suddenly besieged by international journalists keen to ask about the country in which she insists she has no expertise: her own. “It’s kind of baffling,” she says.

In fact, the explanation is simple enough. Last month, Shore, together with her husband and fellow scholar of European history, Timothy Snyder, and the academic Jason Stanley, made news around the world when they announced that they were moving from Yale University in the US to the University of Toronto in Canada. It was not the move itself so much as their motive that garnered attention. As the headline of a short video op-ed the trio made for the New York Times put it, “We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the US”.

Starkly, Shore invoked the ultimate warning from history. “The lesson of 1933 is: you get out sooner rather than later.” She seemed to be saying that what had happened then, in Germany, could happen now, in Donald Trump’s America – and that anyone tempted to accuse her of hyperbole or alarmism was making a mistake. “My colleagues and friends, they were walking around and saying, ‘We have checks and balances. So let’s inhale, checks and balances, exhale, checks and balances.’ I thought, my God, we’re like people on the Titanic saying, ‘Our ship can’t sink. We’ve got the best ship. We’ve got the strongest ship. We’ve got the biggest ship.’ And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

The end of an ad-free WhatsApp.

Pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk forfeited patent protection for semaglutide -- the active ingredient in blockbuster diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy -- in Canada after failing to pay a $450 maintenance fee in 2019. The company had paid maintenance fees through 2018 but requested a refund for the 2017 fee, apparently seeking more time to decide whether to continue protecting the patent.

Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this.

sala dei libri inaugurata online con già pochi tomi, ma ufficialmente libreria digitale senza dei topi

Nel mentre che, come al solito, sclero medio-fortissimamente, dato che non riesco neanche per idea a mettere in ordine la mia libreria fisica (ma questo è un argomento per un diverso post, più incazzato), in questo ultimo paio di giorni mi è saltata in mente l’idea di perlomeno mettere in ordine quella digitale, di mia libreria… O meglio, piuttosto costruirla ufficialmente, visto che francamente il termine “libreria” non è il più adatto per la mia condizione pregressa in tal senso (che è ovvero formata di file sparsi in giro tra archiviazione cloud, torrent scaricati e non, disco del PC quasi pieno, e roba ancora diversa con di mezzo Kindle e tablet). 🤥

Con buona pace di chi è contro l’illimitata condivisione libera dell’informazione (contro la “dittatura del dominio pubblico“), quindi, ho semplicemente scelto di creare un nuovo sito dalle implicazioni teoriche come sempre squisitamente discutibili, in cui manterrò una collezione più o meno curata di quelli che — un po’ perché mi faceva ridere, ma un po’ perché è tecnicamente una descrizione più accurata — in realtà non chiamo libri, bensì tomi, ossia volumi di cose… letteratura, saggistica, manga, manuali, PDF colorati; in generale roba intrigante che è bene preservare ordinatamente. 🤗

Quindi, prendendo semplicemente ispirazione dalla già per mano mia esistente Sala Museo Games (a partire dal generatore di sito statico, che anche in questo caso è stato Jekyll, dopo aver perso per l’ennesima volta tempo a cercare invano soluzioni alternative più flessibili ma non troppo), ho messo su il sito tomistico-topastico più epico che io abbia mai visto, TOMOSTASH: https://gamingshitposting.github.io/TomoStash/!!! (Si, è sul namespace di GamingShitposting perché mi seccava creare un’organizzazione GitHub separata; e poi, così fa ancora più ridere.) 🐭

A parte il solito gusto della collezione di dati pubblica, per cui come tutti sanno io ho per ottime ragioni un’ossessione (fosse anche solo il fatto che, stranamente, tendo sempre a perdere i dati che tengo privati nel mio disordine generale, mentre pubblicando sul web in qualche modo non perdo mai cose dentro una discarica di bit), questo sito mi sarà utile anche per eventuali recensioni future di mie letture stellari, dove potrò semplicemente linkare alla pagina di un dato tomo per l’acquisto da fonti ufficiali, download dei file digitali gratuiti da me accuratamente archiviati e conservati, o addirittura lettura in browser di diversi formati!!! 😇

Queste fiturs sono ovviamente già lì, sul mio bel sito de’ tomi, ma a lungo termine ci sarebbero anche ancora ulteriori miglioramenti possibili che… spero verranno concretizzati, ma purtroppo Octt Del Breve Futuro è completamente imprevedibile anche per me (Octt Dell’Attuale Presente), quindi meglio non fare spoiler. E, per quanto ci sia il rischio che questo nuovo progetto secondario lastricato di buone intenzioni finisca come la Sala Museo Games, ossia bello e funzionante ma con una libreria stagnante, perché non ci sarà altra gente che vorrà contribuire su GitHub con manodopera dataentryante… spero se ne possa fare buon uso. 🚀

Vabbè… a parte sistemare la home del sito — che in foto qui è come dovrebbe essere, mentre chi lo va a vedere subito ora scopre che c’è dello scombinamento con l’allineamento della griglia, ops — e riempire la libreria con cadenza continua e qualità alta — che è la cosa più difficile, perché per i tomi che già si trovano su Internet non è facile procurarsi e valutare il file migliore possibile disponibile, ma è qualcosa di importante per una raccolta che si prefigge l’evitare che le menti esplodano navigando — alcune delle tecniche che mi invento qui sopra potrebbero essere utili anche per migliorare la Sala Museo Games, quindi… se andrà bene, non solo non avrò perso tempo, ma ne avrò guadagnato?! Boh! 😝
