The host’s monologue noted that the suspension of his late night programme had ignited a national debate over free speech
Jimmy Kimmel returned to air on Tuesday night, calling government threats to silence comedians “anti American”, as he broke his silence about the suspension from ABC which ignited a national debate over free speech and outcry over the bullying tactics of the Trump administration.
“This show is not important” Kimmel said during his first monologue since Disney, which owns ABC, suspended his late-night show from the network last week under pressure from Trump officials over his comments on the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. “What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”
Kimmel’s comments come one day after Disney, facing backlash from Hollywood stars, unions, media hosts and even Republicans such as Ted Cruz, allowed Jimmy Kimmel Live! to resume production.

sailor moon vs ragazza magica octt che sono io (nessuno ci crede e siamo entrambe fritte)
Sto continuando a leggere Sailor Moon, per farmi forza con la realtà terribile del nostro mondo reale e, nel mentre che (sull’altro blog) sto tentando anche di scrivere a riguardo dei vari capitoli, nell’8 una robina mi ha attirato l’attenzione… La scrivo qui perché nel contesto dell’altro articolo non centrava tanto, e comunque non lo volevo allungare più del dovuto solo per approfondire una lore che non è quella del manga in questione, bensì della mia persona. 😼 Si sapeva già che io sono abbastanza simile a Usagi… dormo, zzz, non sento la sveglia, pure a metà giornata sono assolutamente fatta drogata di sonno, e così via… e poi ok, a scuola non ero troppo ceppona, ma all’università si, quindi il cerchio già così si chiude quasi. La gran differenza sta nella nostra caratterizzazione come ragazze magiche (così come la differenza tra lei e le altre guerriere sue alleate, naturalmente), perché per ora io non ho sbloccato alcun potere psichedelico stupefacente, e piuttosto tutte e sole le magie effettive, dimostrabili, che io riesco a fare riguardano il software… ma non è questo il punto. 😳
Io e Sailor Moon siamo, al di là delle differenze individuali, esattamente sulla stessa barca… Come lei è stata in realtà messa dov’è a causa del suo essere una guerriera predestinata — non dico di più sia perché a questo punto della storia ancora la cosa non è totalmente chiara, e comunque qui non voglio fare spoiler — io anche evidentemente, dopo essere stata concepita in un’altra galassia, sono stata poi deportata e costretta a vivere sulla Terra — per giunta con un assetto corporeo di base sconveniente, e che alla fine dei conti io devo farmi il mazzo per sistemare, ma questa è tutta un’altra questione — per motivi a me però ancora non chiari… Sicuramente a me qualcuno voleva fare qualcosa che chiamare dispetto è poco, però a pensarci bene non può essere solo questo… ci deve essere qualche altra motivazione che io ancora non ho scoperto, no? 😵💫
Ma, ciancio alle bande, il dettaglio allo stesso tempo sia molto triste, che a suo modo rassicurante, è che… Come praticamente nessuno crede alla mia lore, solo perché è ancora relativamente imprecisa e senza prove — come se fosse colpa mia se non esistono tracce già scritte della mia storia e io non riesco a fare più di quello che posso, e che ogni tanto con questi post faccio, per rimediare — trattandomi da mezza scema, così fanno con Usagi. Ed ecco quindi che suo padre, in questa vignetta, le ha risposto proprio tipo come mi risponderebbero i miei genitori, quando capita che ribadisco le mie origini ultraterrene. Poi certo, Sailor Moon è un po’ fritta se si alza un’ora prima del dovuto solo perché si è svegliata, anziché rimanere a letto finché non suona la sveglia come invece faccio sempre io, e si giustifica con la storia dell’alter ego… però, noi non ci meritiamo tutto questo. 😶
E allora io mi chiedoquali magie ancora mi spettano da imparare, quali dimostrazioni di capacità devo ancora dispensare, quali prove inattaccabili devo presentare, per farmi valere esattamente come sono, e non semplicemente come “una ragazza stramba, dice sempre stronzate del tipo che viene da un altro pianeta, boh“… Ma purtroppo, se credo che 12 volumi basteranno e avanzeranno perché le Sailor riescano a risvegliarsi completamente su ciò che sono davvero, a me le illuminazioni sono estremamente rare e fin troppo parziali… serviranno decenni, se va bene, però a quel punto più che una ragazza magica sarò una zitella magica, che decisamente non è la stessa cosa. Sigh!!! ☠️
Writing well is a valuable skill whether you’re a student, professional, or content creator. Clear, error-free writing builds credibility and helps your message shine. However, spotting every mistake on your own can be difficult. This is where digital tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors become essential. If you are just getting started, this guide will walk you through how to use these tools effectively to polish your writing.
Why Use a Grammar Checker? Grammar checkers are designed to detect common writing issues such as spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, subject-verb disagreements, and improper sentence structures. For beginners, they serve as a user-friendly solution to improve writing quality without needing advanced grammar knowledge. Benefits include: • Saving time on proofreading • Catching unnoticed errors • Improving sentence clarity • Offering learning opportunities with explanations of mistakes
How to Use a Grammar Checker 1. Choose a Tool – Popular options include Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and Quillbot. Many offer free versions with basic features. 2. Paste or Upload Your Text – Most tools let you copy-paste text or upload a document directly. 3. Review Suggestions – Pay attention to each correction offered. A good practice is to understand why the correction is suggested rather than just accepting it blindly. 4. Apply or Ignore – Not every suggestion fits your writing style. Use judgment to accept corrections that improve clarity without changing the meaning. 5. Recheck Your Work – After edits, run the text again to ensure it is polished.
Adding a Plagiarism Checker While grammar checkers fix errors, plagiarism checkers ensure originality. Beginners often unintentionally copy text by paraphrasing too closely or forgetting citations. How to use a plagiarism checker: • Paste your text into a reliable tool like Turnitin, Grammarly’s plagiarism checker, or Quetext. • Review the report, which highlights matched content sources. • Rephrase flagged sections or add proper citations to make your work original. Using a plagiarism checker not only prevents academic or professional issues but also boosts your credibility as a writer.
Free AI Content Detector: Ensuring Authenticity With the rise of AI-generated text, many institutions and platforms now require proof that content is authentically human-written. Free AI content detectors help by analyzing whether your text resembles machine-generated language. Steps for beginners: • Copy and paste your work into a detector tool such as GPTZero, Originality.ai, or Scribbr’s AI detector. • Check the percentage score—it will show how “human-like” your writing appears. • If your score suggests high AI involvement, review areas that sound generic or overly formal. Rewrite them in your voice for more authenticity.
Best Practices for Beginners • Use these tools as a guide, not a crutch. Don’t rely on them to do all the thinking for you. • Combine grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and content detectors for a complete polish. • Always reread your work manually; no tool is 100% perfect. • Learn from the corrections. Over time, you’ll notice fewer mistakes in your drafts.
Final Thoughts For beginners, writing may seem overwhelming, but tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors simplify the process. They ensure your writing is not only error-free but also original and human-authentic. By using these tools wisely, you can grow into a confident writer with polished, professional content.

In a 55-minute speech on Tuesday that defied the very mission of the United Nations itself, US President Donald Trump called global warming "a con job", European policies on clean energy "suicidal", and accused the UN of offering little more than "empty words".
The remarks were Trump's first of his second term in office, and much of it focused on brandishing his domestic achievements and deriding the UN and other countries' policies on immigration, peacemaking, climate change and multilateralism.
The president said his country was now in a "golden age", and imparted lessons to "the free world": close your borders, and return to traditional energy sources. "Your countries are going to hell," he said.

Or, more accurately, if it came out in 1993 but were dubbed by Funimation in 2007(This is part of a dumb Twitter meme parodying the 2007 Transformers movie. ...
I forgot to set a reminder so I'm a little late getting to this, but here we are again:
Are you a "tankie"?
Respond "yes" or "no", I'll collate results later
This process is being undertaken to determine if so-called "tankies" are conspiring to make you (yes, you) have a bad time on the internet!
vague or informal answers will be interpreted by the central authority (me). Only top level comments will be counted. I will not be providing further instructions or clarifications.
I don't mind people calling themselves tankies but I don't think using a "slur" as an identifier is in any way helpful. Nor does anyone who uses it demeaningly really know what happened in Hungary. I barely know anything about it.
For the sake of the poll, it's really asking "are you a communist?" I generally don't refer to myself as a "tankie" for similar reasons as you said, but clarified my position to expressly include that as far as this poll is about support for communism/leftism/etc, it applies to me. Just hoping the final numbers show a good amount of "yes" answers simply due to wanting a strong showing of leftists.
I really think the wording should be changed. Liberals will gladly rip everything out of context. The word Tankie is infinitely more loaded than Communist. Most Liberals even think it's about Tiannenmen square and the tank man and you already know how much propaganda they consumed about Tiannenmen square.
I align most with Nia Frome's viewpoint in Marketing Socialism. Essentially, we can't shy away from loaded terms, liberals will accuse us regardless, so it's more important to correctly demystify rather than taking the "easy" path of distancing ourselves from "tankies," as though "tankie" means anything other than "communist/leftist/anti-imperialist/etc."
We should correctly call out "tankie" as something to not be afraid of, it just means "commie" or "red" or "pinko," and not let the word have power over discourse when discussing leftist politics.
When I was a kid I also believed ‘communists should ditch that label, for PR reasons.’ Now I think we make more headway owning it than dishonestly disavowing it.
But 'Tankie' is not the ideology at all. There is no reason to defend anything which is not the ideology itself. The word Tankie is so meaningless and vague that the only reason to ever use it is if people are actually trying to push on it. In which case you'd first have to ask them what they even mean by the word Tankie because they probably don't know what it means to begin with (nobody really does at this point).
Using "tankie" as a self-identifier has the same effect as calling oneself a "commie," it signals that being accused of being a communist isn't anything to take offense to. If I am going to be called a "commie, pinko, red, tankie, etc" then it is best to call it out for what it is: Accurate insofar as it describes me as a communist. I'm not going to deny those who call me by such pejoratives, rather I'm just going to explain why I'm a communist. Using it as a self-identifier blunts the pejorative and makes it less effective in public discourse to shut down communist speech.
Aigh't, while i don't believe in the premise of communism in human civilisation, i think socialism, without it getting over the freedom of people, is one of the way to ensure the future of humanity.
I believe a balanced amount of anarchism and socialism can, for a medium sized population, be good and sustainable on the long run.
Tho to be honest, i don't know enough in politics to say an answer.
I've tried 2 different Windows cracks I found -- the FileCR 2023b crack, and the AppDoze 2025a crack. Both look legit to me but in both cases I get the exact same issue: With my computer offline, following the readmes, I mount the iso, run setup.exe, select "I have a File Installation Key", enter said key, and get this error: "Unable to load product files. Product files must be in the same folder as the input file. For help getting the product files, see the installation documentation on MATLAB Answer" which links to mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an… which is clear as mud.
I tried 0ing out the key and confirmed that it recognizes when you give it a bad key, so the key in the crack is still detected as a valid key, that's probably not the issue.
Thank you to any fellow pirate who can help a poor cuttlefish out o7 ❤
I should be able to use the installer (once logged in) to download files without installing, then go offline and use the file installation key. However, the option to download files without installing is all greyed out.
That looks super cool but I do think I specifically need Matlab since that's what I've prototyped some ideas in already (I have an old crack but there are some new specialized toolboxes I want to use or at least try out which require a new version of matlab which these cracks claim to have and I don't see an equivalent in SciLab).
Basically, if I can get a new crack of Matlab working to use the new toolboxes, I can rapidly iterate through and test some ideas. If not, I was going to have to dig into some other open source tools which is going to be way more effort.
Or Python. Nobody uses MATLAB because they will basically sequester your research data and experiments behind a pay wall.
These days you look for a new device for your lab, experiment or production and you look for the Python interface. No Python interface? GTFO then good luck selling anything.
Exactly. And employers never want to buy enough seats. There is always someone using it. Matplotlib will make the same MATLAB graphics. I am a MATLAB ninja and my Python sucks, but MATLAB can eat a dick for the aforementioned reasons.
OK the toolboxes can be difficult to find 1:1 replacements for, but you can find plugins for most things in SciLab so you don't need to reinvent the wheel. The general workflow is very similar to MATLAB, but not identical so there is of course a learning curve. Everyone I know is more or less weaning off MATLAB because it's just too damn expensive and locked to their platform.
What are you doing specifically? When I got my engineering degree I was able to do everything I needed in Python, including a replacement for simulink.
It's for a musical project. I wanted a very specific effect applied to some vocals I sang. I couldn't find any tools that did what I wanted, asked on various forums over the years but every pre-built tool someone recommended failed to achieve the effect I was imagining. Out of frustration I ended up writing something myself in Matlab to postprocess a vocal line I recorded and I quite liked the results! (And I know I could have used Python for that but I like Matlab.
Up to this point Matlab was just a personal preference. But then I decided I wanted to experiment with applying that effect in real-time, which would mean creating my own audio unit and throwing it into my DAW, and went looking for ways to make one. Turns out Matlab's got a command for it since 2022b! mathworks.com/help/audio/audio… so if I could get my hands on it, that would be by far the easiest and quickest way to experiment more with it.
I learned a couple days ago that there are open source tools designed for making AUs -- Cabbage, Faust -- but I've never used them. Since I already have the Matlab code and am familiar with Matlab, I thought it would be nice to just use that toolbox for a quick first pass. It probably wouldn't take long to port it to pyhon, but I've found no Python libraries that can generate an audio unit (without wrapping around what's in the next sentence, which is extra work). There's a C++ library called JUCE that can but I find C++ frustrating and don't have a good dev environment set up for it anymore.
The musical project, by the way, is a mix of a shitpost and a passion project and will never see a cent of earnings, so I cannot justify paying Mathwork's high prices.
I specifically want the audio processing toolbox. I actually still don't even really understand what Simulink is, I don't get the concept of "graphical based programming" since to me programming is typing text that tells a computer what to do.
Also, if you can code in Python, the matplotlib library can get MATLAB graphics for you. I have decided to learn Python since it costs $0 and employers never want to buy enough MATLAB licenses.
Scilab is free and open source software for numerical computation providing a powerful computing environment for engineering and scientific applications.
Interesting. Many people reporting similar problems with that one, but someone in June claims to have had success with the very version of 2025a I tried!
It appears Matlab took down their installers for every version of Matlab other than 2025b. I wonder if that's why now I can't install these. But I don't understand, it's supposed to work offline.
Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the Israeli-occupied West Bank has long been at the heart of plans for a future nation existing alongside Israel. The model is known as the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would also include Gaza. It is backed by most countries around the world.
But the construction of settlements for Israelis has reduced the land left for Palestinians, cutting their towns and cities off from each other.

While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn't mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel's show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for "news distortion," but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.
So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
Beginning very soon, you'll need to have the JavaScript runtime Deno installed to keep YouTube downloads working as normal. Why? Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "i...
I doubt it. Bandwidth and storage costs for distributed video on the scale of YouTube isn’t going to happen without some kind of monetisation beyond stray donations.
Places like Nebula have better operating models but they’re also very niche.
That's precisely the trick. Don't try to copy Youtube. You're gonna lose. And it's not the Peertube intended use case anyway.
Instead, Peertube and other such platforms should work as cross-indexing domain-specific, configuration-specific video galleries. A retro videogame video archive does not need 4K 120fps Dobly 14.3 audio; they can just encode most of everything in 480i 30fps and their storage costs will go down significantly. A news report / news reel archive can save some costs by encoding as SDR (or even lower) with ~80kbps mono MP3 audio or somesuch, since most of everything past the intro jingle is human voice.
Play to your advantages. Trying to break into a monopoly game where the rules are broken, the only other player is broken, and the entry fees are broken is self-defeating.

Yes indeed - this is great idea and probably the only way a "web scale" distributed video service can work - unfortunately this doesn't quite exist yet. Even mature implementations like Mastodon have hard time dealing with "global" free text searching (or any kind of taxonomy). But maybe that's the idea that starts a truly free web!

Opus would have MP3 beat for speech at lower bitrates as per the HydrogenAudio KB, Opus is transparent for speech at 32kbit/s with stereo speech being transparent at 40kbit/s. Beyond that, a typical bitrate for Opus audio on YT is something like 150kbit/s and that codec is transparent for music at 160-192kbit/s. Point being if one works in spoken word and they want to save as much space and bandwidth as possible while still sounding reasonable, 40-48kbit/s Opus would be the ideal audio codec for that as it would give transparent speech at half the bitrate of the 80kbit/s MP3 that's quoted here.
To directly quote the HydrogenAudio KB article on Opus:
32kbit/s CELT encoding gives you: Essentially transparent speech plus moderately good stereo music
40kbit/s CELT encoding gives you: Essentially transparent mono or stereo speech, fairly good stereo music
48kbit/s CELT encoding gives you: Essentially transparent mono or stereo speech, reasonable music
You're getting basically transparent speech at a bit over half the bitrate of 80kbit/s MP3 or less, and even with music, Opus like I said is transparent for music at 160-192kbit/s according to the same KB article I'm quoting, while MP3 needs 320kbit/s CBR for transparency for music, although if I'm transcoding FLAC files to Opus, I normally just max out the codec at 510kbit/s where MP3's transparency bitrate of 320kbit/s is also the bitrate it maxes out at.
The only good reason IMO why one should use MP3 in 2025 when better codecs exist, both lossy and lossless, is when the device they're targeting is so old or crappy that it can't support anything better than MP3.
Thank you! Ffs, I was just sitting here thinking, I am not paying ticketmaster a damn dime, even if I have to miss my childhood heroes before they die. People whore themselves out and it fucks all of society constantly. Can't watch videos because of content monopoly, can't see a concert without getting fucked on exorbitant fees, can't go to the hospital because holy fuck, can't go to school without crippling debt, can't watch TV without supporting terrorists, etc. Like bloody hell the corpos have monopolized and ruined everything. They can go to hell. I'll play my shitty guitar, sing to myself, do home surgery, and go outside or stare at a wall. Fuck this shit!
I whore myself out and pay for the family plan, but I have a good reason.
My dad watches YT almost exclusively so I told him if he shared his password with me I can add him to my plan so he doesn’t see any ads. He fell for it. Now I login into his account ever so often and mark “not interested” on any red pill bullshit I see. It seems to be working.
Vinegar is a Safari extension that replaces the YouTube player with a minimal HTML video tag.
It removes ads, restores picture-in-picture, and keeps videos playing in the background.
I don't think Brave has any special magic that other browsers don't.
My understanding is, all the workarounds in use recently work or fail depending on the IP address you have.
I don't know anything about this change but it seems to simply require a JS engine in your client. Any browser has that, so the browser addons probably aren't effected by this change.
However, it's clear that YT is waging an incremental campaign here. Today it's yt-dlp, next week... who knows.
Again, I think it’s mostly because it’s iOS - but Brave seems to be the only browser that allows both Picture-in-Picture and background play while also blocking ads.
Both Safari and Firefox display ads, and struggle with PiP.
Reminds me of when people say "product" instead of "shampoo" or "conditioner" or whatever it is they're actually putting in their hair. Capitalism-coded language.
Yeah Android. Desktop client (Linux flatpak) was working late into the night too. I haven't checked again today though.. will test when I get home from work
Slightly over dramatized. This happens basically every month or so. They break it, we fix it. For me newpipe and yt-dlp havent even stopped working despite not updating anything.
I just downloaded MKBHD's iPhone Air review, and it played perfectly. 1920p whatever that means (somewhere north of 1440p but not quite 2160p... or 2160p/4K but slightly letterboxed). AV1 (Ay-Vee-Wun, not Ay-Vee-Eye), 30fps... looks and sounds great.
Glad to see the community fixed it fast.
I use jdownloader2 which probably uses yt-dl on the back end. But it also downloads from a metric fuckton of other sites, too. It's like the Swiss Army knife of downloaders. And it's Java, so it runs just as well on my Mac as it did on Windows back when I used that. (Wish they had an official dark theme that was easy to set up though. I know how to do it manually but can't be arsed.)
I’ve been trying to maintain Invidious for months, eventually google blocks my IP or ASN which leaves me troubleshooting for hours until the realization settles in.

A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if Israel interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in Spain and Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.
These statements were the spark that lit the most widespread and powerful action in Italy in solidarity with Palestine: a nationwide day of strikes, blockades, marches, and clashes with police — who responded with brutal repression.
Under the slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” (“We Block Everything” for Gaza), hundreds of thousands of workers and students led actions in at least eighty cities across the country — including in Milan, Rome, Naples, and Florence.

Under the slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” (“We Block Everything” for Gaza), hundreds of thousands of workers and students led actions in at least eighty cities across the country — including in Milan, Rome, Naples, and Florence.
“Blocchiamo Tutto!” Strikes and Blockades Paralyze Italy in Solidarity with Gaza - Left Voice

A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if Israel interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in Spain and Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.

Over a hundred thousand people led strikes and protests in 80 cities across Italy on Monday to demand an end to the genocide in Palestine and an end to international support for Israel.
A recent Secret Service raid uncovers an insane network of SIM cards—along with the oddest piece of hardware I’ve ever seen. Here’s the deal with the SIM bank.

ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.
Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”
“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.
YouTube secretly used artificial intelligence to modify creators' videos without notification or consent, making subtle changes to their appearance1. According to Rick Beato, who runs a YouTube channel with over 5 million subscribers, he noticed strange alterations in his videos - his hair looked different and it appeared he was wearing makeup1.
The AI modifications included sharpening skin in some areas while smoothing it in others, defining wrinkles in clothing more clearly, and causing subtle warping of features like ears1. YouTuber Rhett Shull, who investigated the changes, said "If I wanted this terrible over-sharpening I would have done it myself... I think that deeply misrepresents me and what I do and my voice on the internet"1.
The unauthorized AI enhancements represent a concerning trend where artificial intelligence increasingly mediates reality before it reaches viewers, potentially eroding authentic connections between creators and their audiences1.
YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our shared connections with real life?
With AI seeping into everything I think offline backups should be made of everything that is important to you or your organization.
Imagine you are a government or corporation. Instead of recognising and dealing with any painful past events you just pull a 1984 and rewrite history, changing movies and editing old documents.
This is scary shit because we know people are already abusing it for their gain
I've got my copy of wikipedia saved away and have been downloading/archiving stuff steadily this year. Even tampering aside, I fully expect things to start to get pulled down and go missing.
Because when faced with having to make an impossible choice, the adult thing to do is to understand both sides and make a choice, instead of removing myself from the equation to escape accountability?
I don't get when Iran became a harmful entity! Like is it cause it supports yemen and hezbollah and hamas which what they all primarily did was fight israel? Or is it cause it faught the Isis out of iraq and syria? Or is it cause all the western countries keep saying that it is a dictatorship that needs to be overthrown (so that they can rule the region)
That's what all the single issue voters said in 2024. I'm sure they're immensely proud of the outcome. But hey. 'it wasn't me who voted him in', right?
Fuck the "lesser evil." The government of Iran sucks, and every country that bombs them is righteous in that specific action, even if the country performing that action also sucks. When enemies of humanity fight it's always a good outcome.
You support and don't support actions rather than entitie so you can oppose iran dictstorship and human right abuses while condemning and opposing attacks like the usa and israel did
Checklist I make sure that the issue is NOT a duplicate of pinned issues I make sure I am using the LATEST version - check here I understand that issues with limited impact, such as those occurring...
Are you logged in? I'm using PipePipe right now and it's working, but on app startup I did get an announcement message saying logged in streams are broken and to log out, so I did.
Wow you mean all those countries that aided and abetted this genocide arent actually doing anything by “recognizing Palestine as a country”. Whatever’s left of it that is.
The Finnish economy has been hit hard by global economic turmoil and uncertainty stemming from the war in Ukraine, with trade with neighbouring Russia drying up and export companies hampered by the subsequent energy crisis pushing up costs.
