‘No more empty homes while people are homeless’: the squatters being evicted from the northern rivers’ ‘buyback’ homes
Since the catastrophic floods of 2022, just 41 homes in the Northern Rivers have been raised, retrofitted or relocated. Far more have been bought back – and those living in them have been told to leavePenry Buckley (The Guardian)

L'immagine mostra un paesaggio montano mozzafiato con un cielo azzurro e sereno. In primo piano, un prato verde e rigoglioso si estende con colline ondulate, punteggiato da alberi e piccole strutture rurali. Sullo sfondo, imponenti montagne con facciate rocciose e picchi acuti dominano la scena, creando un contrasto con il verde del paesaggio. Le case sparse e le strade che si snodano tra le colline suggeriscono un'area rurale, probabilmente in una regione alpina. La luce del sole illumina il paesaggio, evidenziando i colori vivaci e la bellezza naturale del luogo.

Gaza está sufriendo un bloqueo.
Por eso todo el mundo se está muriendo de hambre: porque no hay suficiente comida para todos, porque no está entrando suficiente. Israel ha estado bloqueando los suministros durante meses.
Han sido bombardeados hasta quedar en la Edad de Piedra. No hay bibliotecas públicas, escuelas ni universidades. Incluso los hospitales han sido reducidos a escombros, y los centros médicos improvisados están desbordados y con poco personal.
Pero este estafador afirma que ha vivido un milagro y ha encontrado a alguien que puede superar el bloqueo y está dispuesto a compartir su comida. O que no le importa morirse de hambre —por un precio— porque ha descubierto lo imposible: cómo llevarse el dinero consigo después de morir. Ah, y de alguna manera también tiene electricidad e internet, mientras todos los demás carecen de ello.
Y tu dólar, aparentemente, puede seguir apoyando esa obra de ficción.
Es una ESTAFA.
No les envíes ni un centavo, ni compartas sus tonterías.
Denuncia y bloquea.

"WHOA! Nancy Mace Says Trump Was an FBI Informant! So Did He Flip on Epstein to Save Himself?
(. . .)
What Mace is saying is that Trump offered to tell the feds what he knew about Epstein. But how would Trump know things about Epstein that would incriminate him if he wasn't involved in some way?
(. . .)
The Epstein affair has had a surprising impact on Trump and his MAGA movement. So many other scandals faded away rather quickly, including his sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll, his half billion dollar judgment for financial fraud, his unsavory relations with Vladimir Putin and other Russian operatives; his Stalinist attacks on his political foes, and so much more.
The Epstein matter, however, hangs on week after week. And it is having a noticeable effect on his MAGA base. Even stalwart Trumpists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are uniting with Democrats to make the files public, in defiance of Trump's demands to stand down. And now, Nancy Mace has inadvertently exposed another potential Trump vulnerability.
Will the Epstein files reveal whether Trump was, in fact, an FBI informant? Did he have personal knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities? Did he participate in them? We'll just have to wait and see. Which makes it all the more imperative to make those files public ASAP."

Anybody catch that loveable scamp, Jake Berry, going to bat for Nigel (and his rants about FrEe SpEeCh) on Radio 4 this lunchtime?
Was a bit muffled - I'm not sure exactly where his head was buried - but the gist seemed to be that the UK is now Schroedinger's North Korea: an oppressive, totalitarian state which *at the same time and in the same breath* has far too many human rights protections.
You can't make this stuff up and it's an absolute joy to behold - although I apologise to the person next to me at the traffic lights for shouting, "GET BACK IN THE F***ING SEA, YOU BELLEND!" Unless they're a Reform voter, in which case get back in the sea also.
"That Cuomo is making common cause with Trump to stop Mamdani will not be a big surprise to many on the Left, who have long suspected that quite a few centrist Democrats (and the corporate interests they serve) would prefer MAGA to socialism. It may yet scandalize many ordinary Democratic voters though — and it raises the question of whether and how a house so divided against itself can stand.
Trump’s support for Cuomo also bodes ill for what will come after November should they succeed in defeating Mamdani. Adams was able to avoid federal corruption charges by aiding in Trump’s immigration crackdown. It’s not at all hard to imagine Cuomo will be expected to return the president’s favors by doing the same or worse, like welcoming federal police into the city. In that scenario, it will be New York City residents who pay the price for Cuomo’s deal with the devil."

Trump Is Putting His Thumb on the Scale for Cuomo
Donald Trump has offered Eric Adams a job in his administration, apparently to convince him to drop out of New York’s mayoral race. It’s now official and out in the open: Andrew Cuomo is allying with Trump to beat Zohran Mamdani.jacobin.com

The image depicts an indoor setting, likely a computer lab or a public access area, with several individuals using vintage computers. In the foreground, a person wearing a striped shirt and light-colored pants is seated at a desk, interacting with an old-style computer monitor displaying green text. Standing next to this individual is another person in a yellow top and blue jeans, carrying a backpack, observing the screen. In the background, through a glass partition, a third person is seated at a similar setup, working on a computer with a blue screen. The room features a mix of modern and retro elements, with contemporary lighting fixtures and a polished floor. The overall atmosphere suggests a blend of historical and current technology use, possibly for educational or nostalgic purposes.

The image depicts an indoor setting, likely a museum or library, with a spacious and well-lit environment. In the foreground, a man and a woman stand side by side, both smiling at the camera. The man is wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and jeans, while the woman is dressed in a striped top and black pants, with a lanyard around her neck. To their left, there is a glass display case with a blue interior, open and empty, positioned on a black stand. Behind them, a large screen is mounted on the wall, displaying text, and a service counter is visible in the background with people seated and standing around it. The overall atmosphere is calm and organized, with natural light coming through the windows.

The image features a display sign for the Altair 8800 Computer, a significant milestone in personal computing. The sign is framed in a clear acrylic stand and is placed on a glass surface, with a wooden panel background. The title "ALTAIR 8800 COMPUTER" is prominently displayed at the top in bold, with "50 Years of Personal Computing" below it. The sign's background is a dark blue, and the text is white, providing a clear contrast for readability. The text on the sign provides historical context, highlighting the Altair 8800's role as the first commercially successful personal computer and its impact on the development of personal computing in the late 1970s. It mentions the launch of "Micro-Soft" (Microsoft) and the inspiration it provided for Steve Wozniak's creation of the Apple I. The sign also discusses the Altair's evolution from a kit for electronics hobbyists to a more sophisticated personal computer, including the development of Altair BASIC and the broader implications of personal computing.
