Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket


Delta has a long-term strategy to boost its profitability by moving away from set fares and toward individualized pricing using AI. The pilot program, which uses AI for 3% of fares, has so far been “amazingly favorable,” the airline said. Privacy advocates fear this will lead to price-gouging, with one consumer advocate comparing the tactic to “hacking our brains.”

Trump has the best foreign policy, in terms of making sense.

Not like the Dems were much better, but yeah, the Trump regime is even worse.

As opposed to Biden merely calling their decisions "outrageous" and strongly condemning them while supporting Netanyahu after they issued a warrant for his arrest.

I'm not sure how that's connected to Syria, tbh.

in reply to OBJECTION!

Not saying Biden wasn't a war criminal and a mass murderer or anything. More like, Biden had at least some shame at being one.
in reply to OBJECTION!

Well, its... kind of hard to totally disentangle Syria from Israel and Iran... and Palestine, and Iraq, and Lebanon, and the Kurds, and Russia... and Trump recently just directly, very publically, bombed Iranian nuclear facilities...

I am reasonably confident this would not have happened in a Dem regime.

They are genocide enabling and duplicitous assholes, but Trump and his cabinet turned that situation up to 11 by sending in B2s with GBU 57s, and being very, very public, antagonistic about this.

...

Regardless of the strike actually being effective or not, it completely slams the door shut on basically ever doing another nuclear deal with Iran (again, done under Obama/Dems, revoked by Trump)....

... barring something like a complete 180 in some theoretical future Dem regime that totally 180s on basically everything connected to Israel. No clue how likely that is or isn't at this point, but it is at least theoretically possible.

...

Dropping morality from the equation, massively directly aggroing against Iran, with is a player in Syria, is just incompetent on its face at being any kind of sensible policy.

Like, I guess just even more full throatedly going against Iran does remove a significant amount of their influence in Syria (maybe?)... but the cost is looking like a completely insane mad man at the international level...

...not to mention pissing off a significant domestic chunk of Trump's own base, the ones stupid enough to somehow believe Trump was the 'peace candidate'.

...

US foreign policy irt Syria in particular has been a shitshow for about 2 decades now, simply on its own terms of theoretically 'promoting American security interests.'

Trump has accelerated this from 'a clusterfuck' to 'a paradigm ending disaster that has totally ended the US as the dominant world hegemon'.

It has totally destroyed any remaining remnant of plausibly being a morally justified 'World Police'.

The US is now just obviously a rogue state, by its own definition of a rogue state from 10 years ago.

This is what I mean by 'making sense', or really the complete absence of that.

Foreign policy kinda involves having allies.

Not many people wanna ally with a beligerent mad man.

...

Maybe a shorter version of my viewpoint could be:

Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense.

More or less agree with your take, but:

I am reasonably confident this would not have happened in a Dem regime.


I'm fairly confident in my memory that Israel attacked Syria under Biden, taking advantage of the instability to expand it's illegal settlements in the Golan Heights. Am I wrong?

in reply to OBJECTION!

Eyup. Both parties are liberal, both parties have the same foreign policy. They differ primarily in name only.
in reply to OBJECTION!

I believe you are correct, but I was perhaps not clear enough there.

What I meant was, had Kamala won, I doubt she would have sent B2s to bomb Natanz, Fordow and Ishfahar.

She maybe, might have agreed to some kind of support role in a much, much more limited version of that kind of a strike, but it likely would have been at least given the Blinken treatment of a veneer of plausible deniability.

Which is fucking awful, but is at least more competent in terms of staying on messsge and presenting an official 'stance'... in neoliberal ghoul logic, which does unfortunately convince many people.

EDIT: Or, maybe, now being President, she could have actually broken from the seemingly very Biden driven deference to Israel, and actually drawn a line at at least... maybe no Israel, you shouldn't bomb Iran that provocatively, we will actually stop giving you some kind of weapon if you do that... maybe even abstain from some UN vote on whether or not you're doing a genocide, instead of voting no.

Hypotheticals, but....seemingly at least possible, to me.

Il rischio spesso sottovalutato dell'albero di palma con gli aghi dentro - Il blog di Jacopo Ranieri




17 luglio 2025 21:30:00 CEST - GMT+2 - Parco il Sentiero delle Ginestre, Faenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italia
Lug 17
Binocular Classroom di Luglio 2025 al Parco delle Ginestre, Faenza
Gio 21:30 - 23:00
Gruppo Astrofili Faenza APS

Giovedì 17 luglio, dalle 21:30, presso il Parco delle Ginestre in via Salita di Oriolo a Faenza, torna la Binocular Classroom: lezioni di astronomia pratica svolte all'aperto, osservando il cielo col binocolo. Spesso ignorato e sottovalutato, un buon binocolo può dare soddisfazioni osservando la Via Lattea, la Luna e altri oggetti celesti, e per gli appassionati di astronomia dovrebbe essere il primo strumento a cui approcciarsi, e non il telescopio, come alcuni possono pensare.

Ad ogni partecipante verrà affidato in prestito un binocolo 8x40, una torcia a luce rossa e un astrolabio. I partecipanti verranno guidati, da astrofili esperti, nell'osservazione autonoma del cielo con il binocolo, ricevendo nozioni base di astronomia, e osservando vari oggetti celesti interessanti. A fine serata verrà consegnata una dispensa.

Indicato per adulti di tutte le età, e ragazzi sopra i 12 anni.

I posti sono limitati, ed è necessaria la prenotazione attraverso i contatti disponibili sul sito www.astrofaenza.it

In caso di maltempo, l'incontro sarà rimandato alla prima data utile, che verrà comunicata a coloro che hanno prenotato.

Per chi è impossibilitato a partecipare in questa data, si consiglia di contattare il Gruppo Astrofili Faenza, che raccoglierà adesioni e preferenze per eventuali date alternative o future.

E' previsto un contributo spese (a serata, per persona) di 10€ per le dispense e la manutenzione dei binocoli, ridotto a 8€ per i minori di 16 anni, e gratuito per i soci ARAR e Gruppo Astrofili Faenza.

L'incontro è organizzato dal Gruppo Astrofili Faenza in collaborazione con ARAR (Associazione Ravennate Astrofili Rheyta), UAI (Unione Astrofili Italiani), Foto Flash e Nital.

Si ricorda che nonostante il caldo diurno, di notte la temperatura può abbassarsi notevolmente rispetto al giorno, specialmente in aperta campagna. Per passare una serata piacevole, si consiglia di portare un giacchetto e/o qualcosa per coprirsi all'occorrenza

New Al Qaeda govt massacred everyone in a hospital
in reply to protist

Explain how one terrorist organization maintained by the West rolling out the red carpet for another to bomb unarmed civilians in a hospital "directly contradicts" the commentary from OP.
in reply to protist

Hey CM, just so you know, this is why we consider you one of the dumbest, most useless motherfuckers alive. You accuse me of not reading TASS critically regularly, but here you are unable to distinguish between the following

  • my statement about what I heard re: Druze hospital massacre
  • TASS reiterating the statement of the new ISIS government which allegedly committed the massacre
  • TASS statements about the event themselves

How does it feel to be so obsessed with making your stupid little comments that you can't even read? Maybe consider doing something with your life. Any mental image I form of your behaviors makes me ill. I can't even pity you

in reply to protist

See, no shame, you're just a lonely sociopath. Kill yourself
in reply to protist

"Erm that was contradicted by ISIS" listen to yourself you fucking mouthbreather. You contribute nothing to the world.





FBI's Video Game Piracy Crackdown Leads to Domain Confusion


Late last week, the FBI seized the domain names of several gaming piracy websites, including NSW2U.com. The sites in question were used to download more than a million games per month, according to a press release, which inadvertently identified a nonexistent domain. The FBI eventually seized the correct domain, and the investigation continues. Meanwhile, opportunists are moving in to lure displaced pirates to new "NSW2U" domains.

Zuckerberg and former Meta execs sued for billions over user data


Meta has been accused of harvesting user data without consent in a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit by company shareholders against chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.

The case dates back to a 2018 scandal, which saw the data of millions of Facebook users accessed by a now-defunct political consulting firm.

The firm, Cambridge Analytica, worked for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

Now, Meta shareholders are suing Mr Zuckerberg and several current and former company executives, claiming they violated a 2012 agreement to protect user data.

They want Mr Zuckerberg and his co-defendants to reimburse the company for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs Meta paid following the controversy.

Mr Zuckerberg has dismissed the allegations in court filings as "extreme claims".

Jeannie Paterson, who specialises in consumer protection and AI regulation, said the lawsuit was "unusual".

"This is an action by some minority shareholders against the company they hold shares on, and they're saying that the bad behaviour of the company … would have caused them loss, for which they should be compensated for by the directors," Professor Paterson, from the University of Melbourne, said.

Donbass on the Brink: Russia’s Summer Offensive is Shattering Ukraine’s Defenses


💪 Onwards to shattering the empire's preferred Nazi regime

in reply to jackeroni

It's not so much the non aggression part that people have a problem with, it's more the let's together invade Poland and hold a celebratory victory parade after that normal people find not so nice.
in reply to Wrufieotnak

Germany invaded Poland, and in response, the USSR went into Poland to keep Germany from occupying all of Poland, which would have broken the agreement regarding “spheres of influence.” In fact, Germany did break that agreement, and the “parade” was about Germany withdrawing from its overreach into the USSR’s “sphere.”

It marked the withdrawal of German troops to the demarcation line secretly agreed to in the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, and the handover of the city and its fortress to the Soviet Red Army.


Once Germany entered Poland, all of Poland would have been occupied by the Nazis if the USSR did nothing, and that would have put the German forces right on the USSR’s border.

in reply to davel

And why did generous general Stalin agree to that whole spheres of influence thing in the first place? If he wanted to protect poor Poland from the evil Germanz, surely telling the world about Hitler's evil plans would have been even better? Or at least warning Poland.

But hm, strange, nothing of the sort was done. One could get the impression generous general Stalin didn't care for the plight of the common polish citizen that was just to be unleashed on them.

in reply to Wrufieotnak

If he wanted to protect poor Poland from the evil Germanz, surely telling the world about Hitler’s evil plans would have been even better? Or at least warning Poland.


This assumes that 1) Poland was somehow unaware of what its neighbor was up to and 2) the USSR was aware and chose not to tell them. Those are some big assumptions.

in reply to davel

Wait, just to confirm: you really believe that signing a pact to partition Poland isn't a sign that in fact Poland will be invaded?
in reply to Wrufieotnak

That Germany was very likely going to invade Poland was hardly a secret. Why else would the USSR have two weeks before offered Britain & France to send in a million of its troops to kill the baby while it was still in the crib? And why did they wait until that offer was refused before signing a non-aggression pact with Germany, a week before Germany invaded?

"Had the British, French and their European ally Poland, taken this offer seriously then together we could have put some 300 or more divisions into the field on two fronts against Germany - double the number Hitler had at the time," said [Major General] Lev Sotskov, who joined the Soviet intelligence service in 1956. "This was a chance to save the world or at least stop the wolf in its tracks."

"It was clear that the Soviet Union stood alone and had to turn to Germany and sign a non-aggression pact to gain some time to prepare ourselves for the conflict that was clearly coming," said Gen Sotskov.

It was only two years later, following Hitler's Blitzkreig attack on Russia in June 1941, that the alliance with the West which Stalin had sought finally came about - by which time France, Poland and much of the rest of Europe were already under German occupation.


The USSR had known for years that Nazi Germany was going to eventually try to destroy it. The Anti-Comintern pact had been signed six years before. Destroying communism was one of Nazi Germany’s primary goals, which is why first they came for the Communists. The USSR agreed to the Pact in order to buy itself time to built up its military for the inevitable invasion attempt by Germany.

in reply to Wrufieotnak

You really think no one knew what Nazi Germany was up to and that it should have been the USSR's job to tell the world? lmao
in reply to Wrufieotnak

On March 17 [1939] the British Government suddenly remembered the existence of the Soviet Union and inquired what its attitude would be toward the Hitler threat in Eastern Europe. Moscow replied promptly and proposed an immediate conference between Britain, France, the U.S.S.R., Poland, Rumania and Turkey to consider how to resist German aggression. This was exactly and obviously what was urgently needed. Nothing less than a drawing together of all the threatened states could be of any avail. Rumania was under intense pressure to turn over her economy to Germany and the quickest action was needed.
However, the Chamberlain clique could not make the shift. Knowing that they wanted to solve the Nazi menace on the plains of Russia, they ascribed to Russia the very same design of which they were guilty, as devious men so often do. They had a “deep seated conviction,” shared also by the French Rightists, that Russia wished to destroy the capitalist system in Europe by provoking a war from which she would remain aloof.5 The entire diplomatic record of the past five years belied this self-justifying suspicion. It showed that Russia was desperately anxious to avoid war, but also that on every occasion, without exception, she had sought to avoid war for herself by combining with others to prevent aggression or nip it in the bud. It was Russia which had incessantly pleaded that “peace is indivisible,” warning that if war came all would be engulfed in it.
All this had meant nothing to conservative men bent on making terms with fascism and preserving it. Now, therefore, Chamberlain hesitated a week until Rumania capitulated and on March 18 notified Russia that her conference proposal was “premature.” This was the same rebuff given to Russia when she had proposed a conference a year earlier, at the time of Hitler’s conquest of Austria. Again there was no hurry, but this time Chamberlain did propose a substitute plan whereby Britain, France, Russia and Poland would consult if any further acts of aggression were believed to be imminent, but even this proposal was abortive, since it was at once learned, says Chamberlain’s biographer, that “Poland would refuse contact with the Soviet, which alone was enough to prevent us from taking up the Russian proposal for a six-power conference.” Chamberlain did not blame the Polish Government. He confided to his diary, on March 26: “I must confess to the most profound distrust of Russia,”6

He literally did try to warn about the fascist threat repeatedly and was constantly rebuked by the west due to anti-communism and "appeasement" politics.

They also weren't in a position to go on an offensive against Germany all alone if that's what you're gonna suggest next.

Their only option was a deal along these lines to buy time for themselves to build up productive forces.

Are there donation platforms that can accept Monero donations?


I was wondering if there are platforms similar to Patreon or Ko-fi but they allow you to donate to creators in Monero or at least other cryptocurrencies? I want to rely less on Paypal and Stripe, especially when we have to play by their rules and recently, they have been ridiculous. I also want to give people a more private option if they wish to provide me monthly support. I know I can't cut those two payment processors out altogether because almost everyone uses them, but I am hoping I can find something similar so cut the reliance on them.

in reply to Peter Link

To kickstart that process, the group said that 12 states from across the world - Bolivia; Colombia; Cuba; Indonesia; Iraq; Libya; Malaysia; Namibia; Nicaragua; Oman; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; and South Africa - have committed to implementing the six measures immediately through their domestic legal and administrative systems.

The six measures are as follows:

  1. Prevent the provision or transfer of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel.
  2. Prevent the transit, docking, and servicing of vessels at any port…. in all cases where there is a clear risk of the vessel being used to carry arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel.
  3. Prevent the carriage of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel on vessels bearing our flag… and ensure full accountability, including de-flagging, for non-compliance with this prohibition.
  4. Commence an urgent review of all public contracts, to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territory and entrenching its unlawful presence.
  5. Comply with obligations to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law, through robust, impartial and independent investigations and prosecutions at national or international levels, to ensure justice for all victims and the prevention of future crimes.
  6. Support universal jurisdiction mandates, as and where applicable in national legal frameworks and judiciaries, to ensure justice for victims of international crimes committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.


Hmm no China in this list. Disappointing. But this is real progress.

Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday rejected Israel's request to withdraw arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.

Israel made the request while the ICC reviews its challenge over the court's jurisdiction to weigh in on its war on Gaza.

The decision, dated 9 July 2025, was published on the ICC website on Wednesday. The judges also rejected an Israeli request to suspend the court's broader investigation into alleged crimes in the occupied Palestinian Territories.
