I’m in northern Gaza. I would rather starve than take GHF aid
Some excerpts:
A survivor of the Tuesday massacre at the GHF distribution point in Rafah told me that shortly after the appointed distribution time, Israeli soldiers were near the road to the site, “hunting people as if they were ducks”.The aid seeker from southern Gaza told me he saw gangs of Palestinian thieves inside the point, apparently “working side by side with the GHF workers” to create a buffer between the pushing crowds and US staff.
The GHF workers, described as “seasoned crisis operators,” have troubling backgrounds. Phil Reilly, CEO of Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), which assists the GHF, was a senior vice president at a US company that committed a massacre in Iraq in 2007.
The foundation is also assisted by another company, publicly known as UG Solutions. During the January ceasefire, UG hired US mercenaries at daily rates starting at $1,100 to inspect vehicles at the Netzarim checkpoint.

Zohran Mamdani Delivers Stunning Blow to 'Billionaire-Backed Status Quo' in NYC | Common Dreams
Jake Johnson
Jun 25, 2025
"Affordability was a key focus of Mamdani's policy platform and messaging, with the Democratic state assemblymember calling for an immediate rent freeze for all of the city's rent-stabilized tenants, the creation of a network of city-owned grocery stores focused not on profits but on "keeping prices low," and free childcare.
Mamdani proposed funding those and other priorities with a higher tax rate on corporations and city residents earning more than $1 million per year—fueling the backlash his campaign faced from the ultra-wealthy."

In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists Say
Previously, a yield strength of 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi) was enough for concrete to be rated as “high strength,” with the best going up to 10,000 psi. The new UHPC can withstand 40,000 psi or more.The greater strength is achieved by turning concrete into a composite material with the addition of steel or other fibers. These fibers hold the concrete together and prevent cracks from spreading throughout it, negating the brittleness. “Instead of getting a few large cracks in a concrete panel, you get lots of smaller cracks,” says Barnett. “The fibers give it more fracture energy.”

Looking for a Safe, Super Open Source (and also cheap if not free) Journaling app. Any Recomendations?
I have already tried DayOne and Journey
Didn't like them Particularly. DayOne seems uncool and even though they claim, a little unsafe. Plus i once before lost all my journal entries in DayOne bcoz i didn't save the encryption keys in my GoogleDrive.
Journey is Worse (my opinion). They keep on pushing me to buy their paid option which costs 4$ per month. Like WTF. Its just a Journaling app.
I am not going to try Penzu because i have heard a lot of bad reviews on how they cheat people and stuff.
Finally i landed on DD-DigitalDiary which isn't open source. Which Sucks. But at least isn't costing me like 50$ a month or anything. Its mostly free. But i am looking or something better.
More specifically OpenSource, Free (or almost free) and idk, modern & sxy
Like when will these huge companies understand. Not everything needs to be VC funded.
Next i am launching my VC funded Venture backed Fried Eggs company

We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago. Now it should be a 3-day work week at most and I'm being generous. The capitalists are always screeching about the low birth rate, but if people were working 3 days a week and making a decent living off that time, it would help the birth rate because then a household with two working parents could be scheduled on different days and alternate staying home with the child, plus have a shared day off every week.
Anyway, that's just a selling point to make to the capitalists. Whether or not it helps with the birth rate doesn't matter as much as the fact that we're owed shorter work weeks thanks to all the blood, sweat, and tears that labor has put into making the world as wealthy as it is now. What's the point of all this work if not to improve our standard of living? Technology making our lives better is hitting diminishing returns and now it's often not making our lives better or it's even making our lives worse.
We should've gotten a 4-day work week decades ago
Then you should have burned down Chicago decades ago.
The 5 day work week didn't just happen because workers deserved it. It happened because they went to war.

The [new] venue is considered safer than the medieval former religious school where the party was initially scheduled to be held. It is surrounded by water, making it impossible to reach by land when bridges are raised.
I wonder, if Jeff is a good guy, why is he so scared? If he was a good guy, surely nobody would want to Luigi him (attack and/or murder him) too?
The Tyranny of 'Big Balls' Has Come to an End
Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old given unprecedented access to some of the most private information on Americans, has reportedly quit his role at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency according to Wired. If you don’t remember the name Coristine, you probably remember his nickname, the thing he reportedly told people to call him while he plundered the nation’s data. He went by Big Balls.
Officially, Coristine was an employee of GSA but was working across multiple government agencies, according to Wired. Big Balls was reportedly rooting around in government systems for USAID, the Department of Education, and the Small Business Administration, among others. It’s not clear how much data to which Coristine ultimately got access. Nor do we know what he, or anyone else affiliated with DOGE, has done with it.
Coristine made an infamous appearance on Fox News where he tried to strengthen Musk’s case that the federal government was riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. But he wound up accidentally revealing that he simply had no idea how anything works. Coristine and Musk seemed to believe that because they didn’t know how various things in the government worked, some kind of nefarious activity had been exposed. But it did nothing of the sort.
