Major European #Warmongers' news of the last days.

"Europe is drawing up "pretty precise plans" for a multinational troop deployment to #Ukraine as part of post-conflict security guarantees that will have the backing of U.S. capabilities, #European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times in an interview.

The deployment is set to include potentially tens of thousands of European-led troops, backed by assistance from the U.S., including control and command systems and intelligence and surveillance assets"

A confidential letter by the French MoH dated July 18, 2025, directed regional health agencies to place hospitals on alert for a high-intensity war scenario in #Europe, likely by March 2026, according to the French weekly Le Canard enchaîné. The preparation includes the massive reception of wounded soldiers and an unprecedented mobilization of medical personnel.

In an article titled "The Ministry of #Health Mobilizes Hospitals for #War," published on August 26, the newspaper revealed that the Ministry called on senior health officials to ensure the health system is ready, by next March, to face a "major mobilization".

This is what psychologists call "displacement activity." Keeping yourself busy with something irrelevant to the actual problem, to avoid standing helplessly by or even worse, grasping the bull by the horns.

All these plans are built on the assumption that Russia will accept a ceasefire; yet the more they are announced, the more the chances of a ceasefire are cemented at zero. This war started to prevent further NATO presence in Ukraine and, as they're winning, why would the Russians suddenly stop so NATO "peacekeepers" can come in?

Of course the financiers are delighted. They have a new phrase "military Keynesianism" which means corporate welfare for banks & arms firms.

@michaelgraaf I totally agree with your analysis. It's obvious for whoever have still sense in mind.
This is a very useful tool to explain the current situation. theanarchistlibrary.org/librar…

Just a quick reminder...

If you’ve read my book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' I’d be grateful if you left a review wherever you prefer.

This isn’t a plea for 5 star ratings; it’s a request for honesty. Books are personal: I dislike plenty, feel neutral about many, and love a few. Whatever your response, reviews really help. A wall of 5-stars is wonderful, but it can also feel suspicious to readers. A mix of perspectives shows the book is being read seriously.

Here’s a crazy real-world consequence of a cyberattack: When Nevada's state systems went down, it meant DMV offices closed, dispatch lines were disrupted, and for a while, police couldn't even access state DMV records. A digital problem with very physical effects. #Tech

The image features a QR code prominently displayed in the center, with a circular logo containing the text "ZEN tonic" in the middle. The QR code is black and white, with a complex pattern of squares and rectangles. Below the QR code, there is text in German that reads "Scannen, um der Gruppe 'zentonic δ' beizutreten," which translates to "Scan to join the group 'zentonic δ'." The background of the image is a light gray color, and the overall design is simple and clean, focusing on the QR code and the accompanying text.

From MULTIPLE sources

Trump wants to forcibly remove the 2,000,000+ Gazans from their homeland and ship them off to some desert country.

The entire population of Gaza would be relocated and the United States would take control of the Palestinian territory under a plan being considered by the Trump regime.

Trump has plans to build Trump hotels on the seashore of what was Gaza!

Meh: la scuola da sola ha poco effetto sulla società, ma appunto qualcosa fa. Così come tutti i soggetti che hai elencato.
Un campo di rieducazione per me è ciò che fanno (stando alle informazioni che arrivano qui...) i cinesi. Io alludevo vagamente a qualcosa che non si è mai visto qui (forse?), una specie di "sabato fascista" per adulti, ovviamente ben conscio che non sia una gran bella proposta e ovviamente come tutti gli altri non sarebbe risolutiva.

Non seguendo i media, mi fido della tua critica verso le proposte "silver bullet", ma sono anche sicuro che fare cose nelle scuole possa avere un piccolo effetto, soprattutto in futuro. E al contempo non.avrebbe molti effetti sulla stragrande maggioranza di wekky che vivono qui


Die Hard Trilogy (1997) for the SEGA Saturn.

Not to be confused with Die Hard Arcade—that one’s a beat-‘em-up. Trilogy is something else entirely: three completely different games on one disc, all playable with a light gun, and all wildly ambitious for the time.

You get a third-person shooter set inside Nakatomi Plaza. Then a chaotic driving game through the streets of New York. And finally, a first-person shooter that throws wave after wave of enemies at you until your trigger finger begs for mercy.

Also: yes, these Sega Saturn long boxes are fragile and oversized. But when they’re lined up on a shelf? Nothing looks better.

@iftas Come on IFTAS -- generate a full RSS feed. Not this Title / teaser BS. Also don't do the infinte scroll bull crap on your news page -- it's frustrating as hell to not be able to get to the footer of a page.

On the news page there is connect.iftas.org/feed/ and connect.iftas.org/comments/fee…

I was just trying to use the first feed with Calibre to generate an ePub that I can read on my eReader... It's a lot more convenient than trying to read it on my phone/laptop/desktop. But, IMO, anyone that wants to use those feed with an aggregator would probably find it annoying, IMO.

Lightning Talks On Time, With This Device


Ask a Hackaday scribe who’s helped run the lightning talks at one of our events, and they’ll tell you that keeping the speakers on time is a challenge. Conversely if the staffer is trying to indicate to the speaker how much time they have left, it must be difficult from the podium to keep track while delivering your talk. Fortunately there’s [makeTVee] waiting in the wings with a solution, a cube whose faces each have a custom 5×7 LED matrix on them. The countdown is clear and unambiguous, and should provide no distractions.

The brains behind it all is a XIAO nRF52840 Sense board using the Zephyr RTOS, the LEDs are WS2812s on their own PCBs, and the party piece is only revealed at the end of the countdown. A tilt mechanism triggered by a servo releases a ball bearing down a track, where it hits a telephone bell and provides a very audible reminder to the speaker. The result saw action during the lightning talks at the Hackaday Europe event earlier in the year, but it’s taken a while for the write-up to make it online.

'I don't remember': MN Republican suddenly forgets voting against school safety bill


Following a mass shooting in Minnesota, Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) insisted he couldn't remember why he opposed a bill to increase school safety.

In a Sunday interview on ABC, Emmer attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for not giving schools enough resources to prevent a shooting that killed two children in Minneapolis last week.

"It's going to be very important that the schools have the resources," he said.

"You talk about what can be done," host Martha Raddatz noted. "After mass shootings in Buffalo and in Uvalde, Texas, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions of dollars for schools to expand mental health services, enhance safety measures. You did not vote for that bill. Why?"

"I don't remember the reasons that I didn't vote for that bill," Emmer replied. "I got to tell you, we did a lot for Uvalde, but you can't replace those children, Martha, you can't. And you can't help that community. We're talking about getting on the front end, Martha. We're talking about we need to have the resources."

"This bill sounds like it might have done that," Raddatz pointed out.

August Resümee.

This month was kinda intense but heartwarming, hosting and reading the German Phantastik Prompts and putting out their Fantastic Prompts English counterpart made it clear to me why I stick to three dailies and don't do a fourth.
I loved seeing all the different answers and loved interacting as much as I did even if I wish I would have answered more of them.
Hind sight I would say I would do it again on a maybe smaller scale.

I love that the German writing community picks it up on a voluntary basis and we managed so many different hosts so far.
I now have a way deeper understanding and respect for all the wonderful people who put out their prompts daily, weekly or so regularly.
This month also had me struggling emotionally private but also absolute highlights like the cross over Art work @art_of_goulwenr did.

Simply: I love Mastodon more than I ever did with other social media and it really feels social.
Thanks again everyone.🙏🏿💚

Zainspirowany przez @rozie sprawdziłem statystyki ilości postów na miesiąc przez cały czas istnienia mojego bloga.

Wiem, że słupki w pierwszych latach są tak wysokie, że wyglądam na jakiegoś maniaka, ale to czasy, gdy blog funkcjonował na platformie JoggerPL, gdzie wpisy publikowało się przez wiadomości na Jabberze i było to bliższe microblogowania w stylu mastodonowym, niż pełnowymiarowej pisaniny.
