Georgia Republican lawmaker also claims she didn’t know Rothschild family, of her ‘space laser’ theory, was Jewish

Republican US House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she believes in demons, surmising that they might be aliens who fell from heaven, and claims to have been unaware that key figures in the antisemitic space lasers conspiracy she floated were Jewish.

She made those bizarre remarks as a guest on Friday on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher after winning some fans among Democrats who once loathed her – yet had come to appreciate how the far-right Georgia representative had recently broken with Republicans on various issues. Those include healthcare, Gaza, the federal government shutdown that began on 1 October and the handling of documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Donald Trump before the latter man won two presidencies.

Greene’s appearance on Maher’s show perhaps made evident the ideological distance between the congresswoman – who has conspicuously avoided directly criticizing Trump himself – and some of her newer, cross-aisle admirers.

Trump’s off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding Trump’s health and the need for presidents to be more transparent.

Trump is the oldest person to be elected president, and his aides and allies have long projected him as the picture of strength and vitality.

Outside physicians initially raised questions after Trump visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier this month for what the White House described as a routine follow-up visit, though it was his second visit in six months.

Ti presentiamo la nuovissima Affinity, un'app di progettazione professionale completamente ripensata che combina strumenti di fotoritocco, progettazione vettoriale e impaginazione in un'unica piattaforma veloce e reattiva, ora completamente gratuita per tutti.

Quando Affinity è entrata a far parte della famiglia Canva lo scorso anno, abbiamo promesso di preservarne la potenza ampliandone al contempo le possibilità. Oggi quella visione diventa realtà con la nuovissima Affinity: un'app creativa di livello professionale che riunisce strumenti vettoriali, fotografici e di layout in un'unica piattaforma ad alte prestazioni. Completa di tutte le funzionalità. Veloce come un fulmine. E completamente gratuita.

Per troppo tempo, i designer professionisti non hanno avuto quasi nessuna scelta sugli strumenti da utilizzare, da software pesanti che li rallentavano, ad abbonamenti che si accumulavano e flussi di lavoro che interrompevano la creatività. In tutta la comunità creativa abbiamo sentito le stesse frustrazioni: una richiesta di velocità, potenza e libertà. I designer hanno chiesto gli strumenti che amano, quindi li abbiamo ascoltati e abbiamo creato qualcosa di meglio.

Steam on Linux use has hit an all-time high! With the Steam Survey results for October 2025 coming out this evening, Steam on Linux has finally cracked the 3% threshold! A few months back Steam on Linux was close to 3% before stumbling a bit but now it's above that elusive threshold. The only time Steam on Linux use was close to the 3% mark was when Steam on Linux initially debuted a decade ago and at that time the overall Steam user-base was much smaller than it is today. Long story short, thanks to the ongoing success of Valve's Steam Deck and other handhelds plus Steam Play (Proton) working out so well, these October numbers are the best yet.

Sì perché, a dispetto dell’imponente produzione – quattro location diverse, ospiti come Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine e due produttori come Thomas Bartlett (The National, Sufjan Stevens) e il compagno di una vita nei Frames, David Odlum – Didn’t He Ramble non decolla al primo giro: sono pochi gli episodi che arrivano in modo diretto e subito riconoscibile all’ascoltatore abituato al precedente Rhythm’n’Repose (è il caso del singolo di lancio Winning Streak)... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/09…

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine (PIJ) stated that while resistance factions “fully complied” with the agreement from the first moment, the occupation continues its “policy of assassinations” and daily violations. The PIJ uniquely accused the occupation of “obstructing the recovery of its own soldiers’ bodies” in an attempt to “mislead public opinion and blame the resistance.” It demanded that mediators take a “firm and serious stance” and that the U.S. administration “oblige the occupation” to comply, rather than “justify its violations.”

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement described the “cowardly zionist massacres” as a “manifestation” of the government’s violation of the truce. It accused the enemy of “marketing flimsy pretexts and ridiculous allegations” to continue its crimes, doing so to “fulfill the desire of the criminal zionist right wing” to prolong the war. The movement held the U.S. administration “fully responsible” and insisted it must “rein in” the enemy, not “provide cover for its crimes.”

The Ahrar Movement asserted that the occupation’s “insistence on violating” the agreement “confirms to the international community the Nazism of the occupation and its leaders.” The group held the U.S. administration and President Trump responsible for the crimes of “Nazi Netanyahu,” whom it accused of waging a genocide war for “political ends and fear of going to jail.” The movement demanded that the U.N. and Security Council take “practical action to rein in the occupation.”

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) described Netanyahu’s “bloody rampage” as an act committed “with a political cover and a green light” from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The DFLP argued that Netanyahu is “exploiting the vagueness” and lack of detail in the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement to impose his own interpretation. In a unique critique, the Front also pointed to the “collective Palestinian leadership vacuum” in managing the truce and called for a “unified national Palestinian team” to navigate the next phase.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) held the U.S. administration “fully responsible” for the “horrific massacres” against “defenseless civilians,” stating the attacks resulted in “tens of martyrs, including 24 children.” The PFLP called the targeting of civilian homes and tents a “stain on the conscience of humanity.” It specifically cited President Donald Trump’s recent statements justifying the crimes under “self-defense” and using the language of “revenge,” calling this a “full partnership in these crimes.” The Front urged free people in the world to launch an escalating popular movement to prosecute occupation leaders as war criminals.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem asserted that the occupation’s behavior reflects a clear disrespect for the mediators and guarantor countries, calling on the parties that met in Sharm El-Sheikh to take urgent action.

After acquiring Serif last year, Canva is now relaunching its Adobe-rivalling Affinity creative suite as a new all-in-one app for photo editing, vector illustration, and page layouts. Unlike Affinity’s previous Designer, Photo, and Publisher software, which were a one-time $70 purchase, Canva’s announcement stresses that the new Affinity app is “free forever” and won’t require a subscription.

Affinity’s one-time-purchase model was one of the most appealing things about its older software offerings, standing in stark contrast to Adobe’s controversial subscription-based creative suite. While Canva’s own design platform can be used for free, it also locks most of its capabilities behind subscription paywalls, which raised concerns that Affinity would adopt Canva’s subscription-based approach following the acquisition. The company is trying to put those fears to rest for good by repeatedly mentioning how “free” the new Affinity app is, but the AI integrations will likely be met with some resistance by creatives who oppose the technology.

I'm glad they didn't add any subscription pricing, and while I don't know if they'll actually be able to fund it through the optional AI subscriptions alone, at least it can be used offline for those who want any AI things. Now my only complaint is the lack of a solid Linux client.
