There’s been a few stories outing the feds as running most illegal porn sites on the dark net.

To the tune of crocadile rock

I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

WHAAAAA

I have a few friends in this situation.

My wife and I sometimes say that we are happy that we are done with the going out dating night life scene.

We both had fun times dating when we were younger and single, but we are older now and are happy to relax on our home on a Friday night.

One of our single friends said they were tired of going out to date and stuff, and I don’t blame her. As you get into your late 30s, the appeal is kind of gone.

I’m sure I don’t speak for everyone. But I just wanted to share my experience.





Police Officers Admit They Feel ‘Ashamed’ Enforcing ‘Mad’ Palestine Action Ban


Enforcing the Palestine Action ban is exhausting, unsustainable and making cops miserable, Met officers, government lawyers and the police federation have told Novara Media.

One officer described feeling “ashamed and sick” when they arrested a disabled person on terror charges. “That feeling won’t leave me anytime soon,” they said. Another told an arrestee it’s “not the work I came into the police to be doing”.

A Police Federation spokesperson, meanwhile, criticised the fact there are “no ‘extra’ officers” to police Palestine Action protests, putting London’s Met police in particular at high risk of burnout. “Officers are emotionally and physically exhausted,” the spokesperson said. “The demand is relentless. And it’s not sustainable.”

They've accepted the Witkoff plan since May, now they've been saying since the end of August that they're ready to leave the power to independent technocrats, what more could they do ?
They'd probably accept demilitarization as well with enough security guarantees. And then, what more could Israel ask ?

When all the humans you're "supposed" to open up about your mental health to charge hundreds of dollars a session, need to be booked months in advance and cause you to miss work because their hours of operation are less than yours, and you need to actively convince them you're suffering or else they dismiss you, yeah I wonder why.

Not to mention the fact that you could get a mandatory visit to a padded room if you tell them the wrong thing, sometimes at your own expense.

This reminds me of ELIZA, a natural language processing program from the 60’s that induced what they coined as the ELIZA effect, a tendency to anthropomorphize the computer. Joseph Wizenbaum, the computer scientist who created ELIZA, wrote Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation in which he contends that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions, as they will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.

Most people STILL have no concept of how digital mass surveillance functions, what it can do, and how it can be used to manipulate them right now, today. Now, it’s common practice to pour your heart out to and have intimate extended relationships with AI systems controlled by the very same corporate surveillance complex.

The danger is not that AI will become self aware and turn against humanity, it is that people will not realize that it has already been turned against us by its masters.

CBS News Is Turning Into An Israeli Propaganda Network (Video 10mins)


As a new owner acquires CBS and Paramount, we expose a disturbing partnership with Bari Weiss's "Free Press," a media outlet that has been used by Israeli leaders to justify genocide. Emma Vigeland and the MR crew connect the dots from a multi-million dollar settlement with the Trump administration to the cancellation of popular liberal shows to the consolidation of media power under the direction of powerful conservative interests.


UK complicit in Israeli war crimes, Jeremy Corbyn's tribunal hears


Thursday was the first day of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's highly publicised Gaza Tribunal, which aims to hold Britain accountable for its role in enabling Israel’s ongoing war crimes in Gaza.

The independent MP, now a key figure in the establishment of a new left-wing party, put forward a bill earlier this year for a public Chilcot-style inquiry into Britain's military cooperation with Israel.

But the Labour government blocked the bill. This unofficial two-day inquest is taking place instead.

There was nothing trivial about the tribunal. Eyewitnesses, UN rapporteurs, journalists, medics and academics all gave evidence on Thursday.

As a British Palestinian, I urge you to keep (or start!) speaking up for Gaza and Palestinians. The situation in Gaza and the West Bank gets worse daily. But please do not succumb to hopelessness or assume that you are powerless to change things. While it may seem like nothing will shame politicians into meaningfully upholding international human rights law, your voice does make a difference. Writing to your MP; protesting; donating; supporting the Freedom Flotilla Coalition; advocating online; boycotting companies such as Airbnb which profit from illegal settlements. These sorts of things do make a difference.~~___~~

It's always funny to me that the CPC outright told everyone what they were going to do when inviting in foreign capital, ie maintaining socialism and tightly controlling foreign penetration, and yet the US Empire took the bait hook, line, and sinker and hollowed out all of their industry. As the US Empire dies, all the PRC needs to do is keep up with developing and building multilateral relationships with the global south. Anyone could have seen this coming, but now that the consequences are coming up people are acting surprised.

Crazy, a competent government embracing socialist ideals would be successful, who would have thunk it! 😁

Never thought i would see the day in my lifetime, but i'm thinking i might actually now!

in reply to jackeroni

Decades, nothing, weeks, decades, etc. etc. The contradictions within the Empire are piling up, while the global south is building upward!
in reply to Cowbee [he/they]

What is puzzling is the US acts all protectionist and copyrighty, until they want to do business in China, and China says yes come on in we will hold 51% of the business and you sign over your IP. And the greed of getting cheaper products made (to increase profits) has them drooling over the pen as they sign away their IP.

There have been a few big name businesses I've had dealings with whom, for cost reduction, have moved their design, manufacture and assembly to China. The day China decides to block it all that western company has no company* and no product.

  • they may exist as a company but nobody in their organization would have the skill or knowledge to redevelop the product, as China just ships final products and doesn't hand over data or tech info.
in reply to BCsven

I mean that's how capitalism works. Companies compete with one another and they have to show quarterly profits to their shareholders. If even one company decides to give up their IP in order to do business in China, that means the rest of the companies that are competing with it are forced to do the same. If they don't, they will lose market share and eventually go out of business.
in reply to BCsven

Yep, but the reason it happens is as Yogthos said, if company A knows it's a trap but doesn't do it while company B does, A goes under. Capitalism will always seek higher profits, even to its own demise.

Facebook is considered social media... It's far from. The term "social media" today, just means that there's people there, and they can talk/write with each other. 20 yrs ago, it was a moderated and safe place to meet people anonymously, and then if you clicked, you could decide to meet IRL. I made lots of friends back then. Since 2008 I have maybe made 3 friends online on FB... Most on FB are internet warriors.


This Company Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In




This Company Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In


A hacker has broken into Nexar, a popular dashcam company that pitches its users’ dashcams as “virtual CCTV cameras” around the world that other people can buy images from, and accessed a database of terabytes of video recordings taken from cameras in drivers’ cars. The videos obtained by the hacker and shared with 404 Media capture people clearly unaware that a third party may be watching or listening in. A parent in a car soothing a baby. A man whistling along to the radio. Another person on a Facetime call. One appears to show a driver heading towards the entrance of the CIA’s headquarters. Other images, which are publicly available in a map that Nexar publishes online, show drivers around sensitive Department of Defense locations.

The hacker also found a list of companies and agencies that may have interacted with Nexar’s data business, which sells access to blurred images captured by the cameras and other related data. This can include monitoring the same location captured by Nexar’s cameras over time, and lets clients “explore the physical world and gain insights like never before,” and use its virtual CCTV cameras “to monitor specific points of interest,” according to Nexar’s website.

I mean, it's positive for both sides. Russia has a war economy now, they NEED to keep going or their economy will collapse. And a war with NATO might get China involved as well on their side, so it's not like Russia would be fucked for sure.

Ukraine isn't a US puppet btw (I assume that's whom you mean with nazis). I do disagree with the nazi claim too, but I'm not going to be able to convince you there, so I'm not going to try either. But Ukraine isn't a US puppet, they literally have to beg the US to help them out. A puppet wouldn't have to ask, as their actions would be in their master's interest in the first place. They'd get full support.
Whether you believe them to be the good or the bad guys, Ukraine is in this of its own volition, not because the US or Europe told them they have to fight.

Ukraine isn't a US puppet btw


I agree, it would be more correct to call them a NATO puppet, or even just a EU puppet at this point.

Either way, they are a puppet.

A puppet can't dictate to its master. That's what puppets do - beg for help and wish the master will comply. In this case, they were promised something and feel like they're eligible. The only problem is that the master wasn't really going to fulfill its promises, not in the current situation anyway.


Colombia coal exports plummet after ban on ‘Israel’ sales


Colombia’s coal exports fell by almost half in July compared to the same period last year, with official figures showing a dramatic 45.8 percent drop in value.

The decline comes days after President Gustavo Petro renewed a ban on sales to ‘Israel’, compounding existing pressures on the country’s leading export sector.

According to the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), Colombia exported $479.8 million worth of coal in July, a steep decrease from the $885.8 million sold in July 2024.

This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction for the sector, which local mining unions attribute to a “global price crisis” and increased production in Indonesia that has driven down international prices.
