Suddenly, Democratic Politicians Are Running Away From AIPAC
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/48345159
When he launched his campaign last week for a Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, Representative Seth Moulton made sure that one of his first moves was to announce that he is returning campaign donations that he received from individuals affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and would no longer accept campaign support from the group. Also last week, popular podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan pressed Senator Cory Booker to answer whether he considered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal; The Ringer’s Van Lathan told Governor Gavin Newsom that Lathan would not support a 2028 candidate who took money from AIPAC, resulting in the governor literally squirming and using the word “interesting” repeatedly; radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Governor Josh Shapiro if AIPAC donations improperly influence U.S. decisions on Israeli-Palestinian issues; and MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels asked Kamala Harris if Israel’s actions over the last two years constitute genocide.

Two people were injured, including a US marshal, during an immigration enforcement operation early Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security said.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s weapon discharged when the agent tried to grab an individual who apparently rammed into a vehicle that was part of a team of ICE and US marshals engaged in immigration enforcement, a law enforcement source tells CNN.

Dal 2007: La Scienza Svela perché il Retinolo è l'Alleato Infallibile Contro i Segni del Tempo
Per decenni, il Retinolo, derivato della Vitamina A, è stato il "Santo Graal" della cosmesi anti-età. Ma questo mito è supportato dalla scienza? Assolutamente sì, e la prova risale a un rivoluzionario studio del 2007. Diciotto anni fa, una ricerca pionieristica dell'Università del Michigan ha dimostrato che il Retinolo non solo riduce le rughe, ma agisce in profondità, stimolando la produzione di procollagene e glicosaminoglicani, essenziali per l'idratazione e la struttura della pelle.
Da allora, la scienza ha trasformato questa intuizione in una certezza, rendendo il Retinolo il "gold standard" raccomandato dai dermatologi. Oggi, le sue azioni - aumento di collagene ed elastina, e accelerazione del rinnovamento cellulare - sono ampiamente confermate. Il segreto è la consapevolezza: un uso graduale e, soprattutto, una costante protezione solare. Il mito è reale, e la scienza lo celebra.

Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files
The partial records are from the third batch of documents produced by Epstein's estate. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee say they include phone message logs, copies of flight logs and manifests for aircraft, copies of financial ledgers and Epstein's daily schedule.
In addition to Musk and Prince Andrew, the files released publicly also contain the names of other prominent figures including internet entrepreneur Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon, a former adviser to US President Donald Trump.
The files turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate appear to show that Musk had been invited to the financier's island in December 2014.

Stealth, incognito reddit browsing
An awesome app I just discovered for browsing reddit links. Like the rest of you I've abandoned reddit but a lot of research on the web takes you to reddit. It's unsafe to browse the main site. This app is fully incognito and doesn't require an account. It's also gorgeous. It could potentially go inactive soon due to an API change. Last update was also in June but they fixed a crash this morning so someone's still working on it.
Download this and set it to handle reddit links by default. Stay safe, stay ready Comrades!

Universities are embracing AI: will students get smarter or stop thinking?
Why is it that my sister and I have different latest kernel versions, even though we both have Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon?
My kernel version is ‘6.8.0-87-generic’ and hers is ‘6.14.00-33-generic’. My brother, who uses CachyOS, has kernel version '6.17.1-2-cachyos'. So it makes a little sense that the kernel is different. Even though I always thought that there was just one kernel that all Linux versions use.
But why is there a different kernel for the same distro?
i think there was also a note in the 22.2 release notes about compatability with nvidia cards too

This doesn't change the definiton of Sexual Offences Act 2003, Section 1, so it would still only apply to people with a "penis". But the Victims and Courts Bill has many other sections that would apply to all genders.
