Tommy Robinson terror verdict delayed because he is 'flying to Israel as guest'
District Judge Sam Goozee will not hand down his ruling until November 4 – because the former English Defence League leader is travelling to Israel. The judge said he would ‘accommodate’ his ‘current travel arrangements’.
Posting on X after the decision, Robinson said: ‘Now that my trial is behind me, I will have my verdict handed down on November 4th in London.
‘I’m leaving soon for a trip to Israel — a proud patriot coming tomorrow to stand with the Jewish state and deepen my understanding of the fight against jihad.’
He also thanked billionaire Elon Musk for ‘picking up the legal bill’ for ‘this absolute state persecution’.

The War Is Over, But the Struggle In Gaza Isn't
The war has ended, but life hasn’t returned to normal. The sounds of bombing have faded, but the struggles remain. Every day is still a battle, not against missiles or soldiers, but against hunger, exhaustion, and scarcity.
Even now, after the war, we are financially drained. The little savings we had are gone, and basic necessities like food, clean water, and electricity are still hard to come by. We wake up every day hoping things will get easier, but the reality is that survival itself has become a full time job.
Our home, like many others, has been damaged. Streets are broken, shops are empty, and the few working bakeries are overwhelmed. Life in Gaza has always been difficult, but after the recent attacks, every simple task feels impossible. Carrying water, cooking meals, keeping food from spoiling without reliable electricity these are challenges that never stop.
We are trying to rebuild, to recover, and to find a sense of normalcy. But the truth is, we can’t do it alone. Even after the war has ended, support is still desperately needed. Every contribution, every small act of help, makes a real difference for families like ours.
The war may be over, but the real struggle continues and we are still here, hoping for a chance to survive, to rebuild, and to live with dignity again.

Israel resumes killing Palestinians in first phase of Trump’s “peace plan”
This violence is part of the broader strategy of Israeli settlement expansion and de-facto annexation of Palestinian land, with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid reporting that at least 3,400 Palestinians have been displaced by settler violence and access restrictions throughout the Gaza genocide and the subsequent ceasefire.

Supreme Court weighs whether to gut key provision of landmark Voting Rights Act
The conservative majority will consider whether states are barred from considering race when they draw legislative districts aimed at complying with the 1965 law.
The conservative-majority Supreme Court on Wednesday will consider whether to eviscerate a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act in a congressional redistricting case from Louisiana.
The justices, who expanded the scope of the case over the summer, will hear oral arguments on whether states can ever consider race in drawing new districts while seeking to comply with Section 2 of the 1965 law, which was enacted against a backdrop of historic racial discrimination to protect minority voters.
The long-running dispute concerns the congressional map that Louisiana was required to redraw last year after being sued under the Voting Rights Act to ensure that there were two majority-Black districts. The original map only had one such district in a state where a third of the population is Black.

How Israel plans to continue the war without its army - As tanks withdraw and the bombing slows, Israel extends its war through Palestinian militias turned against their own.
Israel’s logic here is clear. It has long relied on an old colonial strategy: Divide and rule. A society consumed by internal violence cannot stand united against its occupier. By cynically fostering the rise of militias, Israel achieves two aims: Weakening Palestinian unity and reducing the burden on its own army. It avoids direct costs and international scrutiny, while Gaza continues to bleed from within.The armed gangs now spreading fear in Gaza are not defenders of the homeland but Israel’s collaborators, serving its occupation under a different name. They were empowered during the war to act where Israel could not always act openly. Yet Israel’s history with Palestinians who serve its interests is clear: It uses them, then discards them. Once their purpose is fulfilled, collaborators are cast aside, disarmed or destroyed, left with neither honour nor protection. He who turns his gun on his own people may think himself powerful, but his fate is always the same: Rejection by his people, by history and even by the occupier who once used him.
For Palestinians, the consequences are nothing short of catastrophic...

Microsoft veteran explains Windows quirk that made videos play in Paint
Microsoft veteran explains Windows quirk that made videos play in Paint
: Raymond Chen says the OS used green-screen overlays to fake video playback – with curious side effectsRichard Speed (The Register)

This is how hardware accelerated TV tuners worked back in the day, and probably also MPEG cards during their brief flash in the pan when they were necessary to play MPEG encoded video before processors were powerful enough to do it in software (and/or had various extensions added to them to assist, like MMX and SSE, etc., etc.).
I had an ATI TV Wonder card back in those dark days, and its mask color was hot magenta: RGB(255,0,255). Any pixels in your framebuffer of that color would be overwritten with TV output, although the player that came with the card already seemed to broadly know approximately where its output should be located so you couldn't relocate the video on your screen by doing this. If you full screened the player and then minimized it, though, you could color in any pixels on your display with e.g. Paint and they'd magically become little slices of broadcast television.

Pfizer CEO says US pharma industry needs to collaborate with China
Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry needs to collaborate with China’s, where speedy processes have vaulted it to 30% of global drug development over the past decade."Chinese biotech firms accounted for nearly 1/3 of all large pharma drug licensing deals last year, a major shift in where innovation is sourced," Bourla said
Sure. Outsourcing all of your pharmaceutical development to other countries:
- means you are screwed in the event of a war (economic or physical)
- means you have no control over quality of said pharmaceuticals
- means that expertise is no longer available in your own country and you are again beholden to others because those countries can charge whatever they want or refuse to sell it to you at all (see battery tech, microchip tech, solar tech for other examples).
You want to go over there and learn how to adapt their tech? Great. (We did that with the Japanese auto industry in the 1980s and we imported rocket expertise after WWII.) But things like drugs, food staples, and construction materials should be made at home. There’s a reason we subsidize farming.
Personally I think the feds should be manufacturing generic drugs to ensure availability and quality, and to provide some competition to bring prices down.
