Pope: Plan for Ukraine visit ready but difficult to implement
The Vatican has prepared a plan for a visit by Pope Leo XIV to Ukraine, but it is currently difficult to carry out due to security concerns. — Ukrinform.Ukrinform

This jagoff complained about Lombardi setting hypnosis back 25 years, but what about this script?
Here's an alt-text description of the image:
The image is a quote presented against a vibrant purple gradient background, transitioning from a deeper shade at the top to a lighter hue towards the bottom. The quote is divided into four lines, each contained within a rectangular white text box with a dark blue border. The text is written in a bold, sans-serif typeface. The quote reads: "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." Beneath the quote, in a cursive white font, is the name “Alwin Toffler”. The overall design is minimalist, with the focus solely on the text and its author.

Deutche Wella gets it. I’m very happy to see that the German public broadcaster understands money creation in the modern economy, but also understands something of the goals of project 2025.
They never mentioned Silicon Valley, but I guess for any organization that’s very much on the front line of information they haven’t internalized yet.
not all stablecoins are backed by treasuries etc. the 2nd biggest one that is so backed (Circle USDC, ~$60bn mkt cap) has been audited and has the money. tether is the $185bn stablecoin that refuses to be audited, so yeah that's the important question. also other "fiat backed" stablecoins like FDUSD (used on binance) and TrueUSD/TUSD (justin sun) were "backed" but not with assets nearly as good as US treasuries.
there's a few broad categories of stablecoins:
1. "fiat backed" (Tether USDT, Circle USDC, TUSD, FDUSD, etc)
2. "crypto backed" (meaning they hold the backing for the token in bitcoin or ethereum - what could go wrong? some single digit billion dollar stablecoins are backed like this, the biggest of which is Sky FKA MakerDAO DAI)
3. "backed by complex financial instruments and trading positions" (another "what could go wrong?
" case... this is a newish category but USDe, run by recently pardoned Arthur Hayes + BitMEX, is close to $10bn mkt cap)
4. "algorithmic" (backed by hopes and dreams. this category kind of went away after the $40 bn terra/luna implosion, but it's making a comeback with Justin Sun's USDD)

Brown Shooting Latest, Leaders React to Australia Shooting, More

Grok, the chatbot built by Elon Musk’s xAI and popularized on his social media platform X, appears to have repeatedly spread misinformation about today’s mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia.
Kamala Harris this week made clear to potential 2028 rivals that she's working to keep another White House campaign viable.
If I am ever so fortunate as to become fucking rich, maybe I can do what rich people used to do and just pay artists to keep making their art and not worry about having to pay for a silly things like rent and food.
The world would be a better place if rich people re-embraced that old tradition.
They’re like “oh Michelangelo was amazing. “ but he could have never done what he did without rich patrons and they’re not willing to put up the money to sponsor the next one.
unless it's their own kids 👀 in many fields of the arts, it's nepotism and money that allow the unpaid internships, expensive training, and specialized equipment that allows them to have that career. That cushy trust fund paying for a Manhattan apartment while they "get started..."
They don't care about the quality of the art or artist, just feeding fame to their children to keep their "legacy" going.

It’s been five years since I was elected to the #OpenStreetMap Foundation board becoming the first POC and the first person residing outside the U.S., Canada, and Europe to be elected. I like to think I broke some sort of glass ceiling because the OSMF currently has three POC on the board, and three people based in Africa or Asia.

Today's #TikTok meme is that the № 1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 will go.
But does that mean the year you turned 10, or the year that you spent the most time being 10?
Because for me that means the difference between "Batman" and "Rain Man" and I feel like it's important to know which...

By default, a matrix server keeps a full local cache of every room you join, including all media. This is by design, because rooms are distributed across all participating servers. Unlike MUC chat groups on XMPP, which are unreachable any time the originating server goes down.
You can constrain storage use by limiting cache size, or telling the server to autodelete media after Z time (eg a week).
