The story behind the arrest of 87-year-old veteran John Spitzberg at the Capitol
Spitzberg was among the dozens of veterans who were arrested at the Capitol last Friday. The arrests came just half a day before millions of people flooded American streets for No Kings protests, meant to stand in contrast to the military parade being held the same day.
"I think the parade was a colossal slap in the face of the American people," said Spitzberg, an Army and Air Force veteran. "And the president of the United States apparently sees himself as more than the people's president. He sees himself as a king or, I don't even know, an emperor."
Capitol Police said officers arrested about 60 people last Friday who illegally crossed a police line while running toward the Rotunda steps. All are facing charges, including unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line.

A wild bear enters Lithuania's capital. Hunters refuse a government request to shoot the animal | AP News
A young female bear caused a stir after wandering out of the forest and into the leafy suburbs of the Lithuanian capital.For two days, the brown bear ambled through the neighborhoods of Vilnius, trotted across highways and explored backyards — all while being chased by onlookers with smartphones and, eventually, drones.
The government then issued a permit for the bear to be shot and killed.
That did not go down well with Lithuania’s hunters who refused, aware that there is only a tiny number of the protected species in the entire country.

We are stewards of the land, not dominaters of nature.
The association’s administrator, Ramutė Juknytė, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the bear was a beautiful young female who was about 2 years old and did not deserve to be shot. “She was scared but not aggressive. She just didn’t know how to escape the city but she didn’t do anything bad,” he said.The organization tracks the movements of bears. It believes there is only five to 10 bears in the Baltic nation, but does not have a precise number
BBC threatens Perplexity with legal action over content scraping
The UK’s public broadcaster, BBC, has written a letter to Perplexity, the AI search startup, asking it to stop scraping articles from its websites, delete existing copies of content, and propose some sort of financial compensation if it would like to carry on scraping data. If the demands are not met, BBC may seek an injunction against the startup citing alleged misuse of its intellectual property.BBC is probably responding in this way because it has seen other news organizations cement deals with firms like OpenAI and Mistral. The income stream allows news organizations to raise more funds and also cover the costs of the extra load on their servers caused by AI scraping.
In a statement to the Financial Times, Perplexity labeled the BBC’s claims as "manipulative and opportunistic". The startup accused the broadcaster of having “a fundamental misunderstanding of technology, the internet and intellectual property law.”
This is not the first time Perplexity has had a run-in with the media. Forbes and Wired accused it of plagiarizing content from their websites and The New York Times sent the company a cease and desist notice to stop using its content for AI purposes.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS COMING IN IRAN | Seymour Hersh
This is a report on what is most likely to happen in Iran, as early as this weekend, according to Israeli insiders and American officials I’ve relied upon for decades. It will entail heavy American bombing. I have vetted this report with a longtime US official in Washington, who told me that all will be “under control” if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “departs.” Just how that might happen, short of his assassination, is not known. There has been a great deal of talk about American firepower and targets inside Iran, but little practical thinking, as far I can tell, about how to remove a revered religious leader with an enormous following.
I have reported from afar on the nuclear and foreign policy of Israel for decades. My 1991 book The Samson Option told the story of the making of the Israeli nuclear bomb and America’s willingness to keep the project secret. The most important unanswered question about the current situation will be the response of the world, including that of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president who has been an ally of Iran’s leaders.
The United States remains Israel’s most important ally, although many here and around the world abhor Israel’s continuing murderous war in Gaza. The Trump administration is in full support of Israel’s current plan to rid Iran of any trace of a nuclear weapons program while hoping the ayatollah-led government in Tehran will be overthrown.
I have been told that the White House has signed off on an all-out bombing campaign in Iran, but the ultimate targets, the centrifuges buried at least eighty meters below the surface at Fordow, will, as of this writing, not be struck until the weekend. The delay has come at Trump’s insistence because the president wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday. (Trump took issue on social media this morning with a Wall Street Journal report that said he had decided on the attack on Iran, writing that he had yet to decide on a path forward.)
Fordow is home to the remaining majority of Iran’s most advanced centrifuges that have produced, according to recent reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to which Iran is a signatory, nine hundred pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent, a short step from weapons-grade levels.
The most recent Israeli bombing attacks on Iran have made no attempts to destroy the centrifuges at Fordow, which are stored at least eighty meters underground. It has been agreed, as of Wednesday, that US bombers carrying bunker bombs capable of penetrating to that depth, will begin attacking the Fordow facility this weekend.
The delay will give US military assets throughout the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean—there are more than two dozen US Air Force bases and Navy ports in the region—a chance to prepare for possible Iranian retaliation. The assumption is that Iran still has some missile and air force capability that will be on US bombing lists. “This is a chance to do away with this regime once and for all,” an informed official told me today, “and so we might as well go big.” He said, however, “that it will not be carpet bombing.”
The planned weekend bombing will also have new targets: the bases of the Republican Guards, which have countered those campaigning against the revolutionary leadership since the violent overthrow of the shah of Iran in early 1979.
The Israeli leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes that the bombings will provide “the means of creating an uprising” against Iran’s current regime, which has shown little tolerance for those who defy the religious leadership and its edicts. Iranian police stations will be struck. Government offices that house files on suspected dissenters in Iran will also be attacked.
The Israelis apparently also hope, so I gather, that Khamenei will flee the country and not make a stand until the end. I was told that his personal plane left Tehran airport headed for Oman early Wednesday morning, accompanied by two fighter planes, but it is not known whether he was aboard.
Only two thirds of Iran’s population of 90 million are Persians. The largest minority groups include Azeris, many of whom have long-standing covert ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, Kurds, Arabs, and Baluchis. Jews make up a small minority group there, too. (Azerbaijan is the site of a large secret CIA base for operations in Iran.)
Bringing back the shah’s son, now living in exile in near Washington, has never been considered by the American and Israeli planners, I was told. But there has been talk among the White House planning group that includes Vice President J.D. Vance, of installing a moderate religious leader to run the country if Khamenei is deposed. The Israelis bitterly objected to the idea. “They don’t give a shit on the religious issue, but demand a political puppet to control,” the longtime US official said. “We are split with the Izzies on this. Result would be permanent hostility and future conflict in perpetuity, Bibi desperately trying to draw US in as their ally against all things Muslim, using the plight of the citizens as propaganda bait.”
There is the hope in the American and Israeli intelligence communities, I was told, that elements of the Azeri community will join in a popular revolt against the ruling regime, should one develop during the continued Israeli bombing. There also is the thought that some members of the Revolutionary Guard would join in what I was told might be “a democratic uprising against the ayatollahs”—a long-held aspiration of the US government. The sudden and successful overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria was cited as a potential model, although Assad’s demise came after a long civil war.
It is possible that the result of the massive Israeli and US bombing attack could leave Iran in a state of permanent failure, as happened after the Western intervention in Libya in 2011. That revolt resulted in the brutal murder of Muammar Gaddafi, who had kept the disparate tribes there under control. The futures of Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, all victims of repeated outside attacks, are far from settled.
Donald Trump clearly wants an international win he can market. To accomplish that, he and Netanyahu are taking America to places it has never been.
I also heard the term "refug.ee" before
Just to give you some context: Tighnari (with the green piece of cloth) is choking Cyno because he is swamping him with bad jokes day in and day out. So this is not a joke about immigrants, they are receiving absolutly horrible treatment in A LOT of cases but a mere pun just like Cyno would do it.
I just wanted to clear that before I post so I don't cause confusion and have to do the explaining later.

- Its hybrid model — combining self-owned infrastructure with regional partners — allows it to compete in markets where most players can’t afford to build first.

Lighter, Stronger, Smarter: The Rise of Syntactic Foams
Syntactic Foams
Syntactic foams are advanced composite materials consisting of a matrix filled with hollow microspheres, typically made of glass, ceramic, polymer, or metal. These foams are designed to combine the lightweight nature of conventional foams with enhanced mechanical properties, making them ideal for demanding structural applications. Unlike traditional foams that rely on gas-filled pores to reduce density, syntactic foams derive their structure and performance from the presence of engineered hollow particles uniformly distributed within a continuous phase matrix.
The matrix in syntactic foams can be a variety of materials such as epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, or thermoplastic polymers, and in some high-performance applications, even metals. The hollow microspheres are the defining feature of syntactic foams. They significantly reduce the overall density of the composite while contributing to mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and damage tolerance. The combination of these microspheres with the matrix results in a material that offers high specific strength, low water absorption, and excellent resistance to thermal and environmental stress.

Sailing Trade: The Power of Maritime Freight Transport
Maritime Freight Transport
Maritime freight transport refers to the movement of goods and cargo by sea using ships and other marine vessels. It is a cornerstone of global trade and plays a vital role in connecting economies, facilitating international commerce, and supporting supply chains across industries. Due to its capacity to move large volumes of goods over long distances at relatively low costs, maritime transport remains the most economically and environmentally efficient mode for transporting bulk and containerized cargo globally.
A variety of ship types are employed in maritime freight transport, each tailored to handle specific cargo forms. These include container ships, bulk carriers, tankers, roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessels, and general cargo ships. Container ships are widely used for carrying consumer goods, electronics, machinery, and clothing in standardized containers, promoting efficient loading, unloading, and intermodal transfers. Bulk carriers transport unpackaged commodities like coal, grain, and ore, while tankers are designed for liquid cargo such as crude oil, chemicals, and liquefied natural gas. Ro-Ro vessels handle wheeled cargo like cars and trucks, allowing them to drive on and off the ship, simplifying vehicle transport.

France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story
I wanted to spotlight a quietly massive success story in European digital sovereignty: GendBuntu - France’s custom Ubuntu distribution used by the National Gendarmerie.
The GendBuntu project derives from Microsoft's decision to end the development of Windows XP Back in 2005, France’s Gendarmerie began switching from Microsoft products to open-source software - starting with OpenOffice. Fast forward to 2024, and GendBuntu(Linux) is now running on 97% of their workstations (over 103,000 computers!).
France has shown what’s possible when a government actually backs open-source, in-house, and EU-grown solutions.
More countries should follow suit.

BitTorrent Pirate Gets 5 Years in Prison, €10,000 Fine, For Decade-Old Offenses
Authorities in Greece are making good on their promise to crack down and deter use of pirate sites and services. Arrests during a significant action to disrupt pirate IPTV last month are now followed by news of an immediate five-year prison sentence and a €10,000 fine. The 59-year-old defendant was reportedly found guilty of running a private torrent site; P2Planet.net. Curiously, the site announced its closure over a decade ago, making the offenses even older than that.
