Gratitude has become a pillar of my day-to-day life, so I'd like to call out something I'm very grateful for.
In an unexpected twist, I'm now doing contract work for MZLA/Thunderbird. It's focused entirely on writing, which is my first love.
It's only 10 hours per week. There are no zoom calls. There are no KPIs. No social media management. No reports to generate.
I can literally do this anywhere, it won't fry my brain or kill my spirit, & it funds my adventures.
Like I said: VERY grateful.

Clarence Thomas gives bonkers reason for SCOTUS to tear up settled laws
Justice Clarence Thomas is finding increasingly creative ways to justify reshaping long-standing laws.
During a rare appearance at Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, the George H.W. Bush–appointed justice said the Supreme Court should take a more critical approach to settled precedent, arguing that decided cases are not “the gospel,” ABC News reported.
Thomas, 77, compared his Supreme Court colleagues to passengers on a train, and said: ”We never go to the front to see who’s driving the train, where is it going. And you could go up there in the engine room, find it’s an orangutan driving the train, but you want to follow that just because it’s a train.”
He reasoned that some precedents were simply “something somebody dreamt up and others went along with.”

Piccola lezione di educazione civica a proposito dei due adolescenti olandesi arrestati per aver cercato di spiare Europol per conto della Russia utilizzando dispositivi di hacking
Ricordiamo a voi ragazzi in ascolto (se non lo siete, ricondividete ai ragazzi che conoscete) e a tutti gli hacker e agli aspiranti hacker, che un reclutamento di questo genere inizia sempre in modo innocuo, di solito con una chiacchierata sui social su Discord o su Telegram a proposito della vostra opinione politica e la vostra posizione nei confronti del vostro Stato; in seguito viene somministrato un piccolo test per verificare se siete indifferenti verso l'illegalità.
NB: essere indifferenti verso l'illegalità non è necessariamente un male! Si può essere contrari all'illegalità senza dover per forza provare sentimenti contro di essa, ma l'indifferenza verso l'illegalità DEVE SEMPRE essere accompagnata da un solido senso civico e SOPRATTUTTO dalla consapevolezza che ci sono persone malintenzionate che sanno "fiutare" il vostro "distacco morale" per usarlo come un'arma o per farvi diventare un capro espiatorio!
A quel punto può esservi anche offerta una piccola somma di denaro destinata a incoraggiare le attività criminali o a finanziarle: si tratta generalmente di danni alla proprietà o di intercettazioni abusive.
Questi primi "incarichi" in realtà sono spesso gli ultimi, perché chi viene reclutato così è una risorsa "usa e getta", ma possono essere utilizzati per ricattare il reclutato e costringerlo addirittura a svolgere operazioni più gravi.
Ricordiamo tuttavia che, se è un soggetto di uno stato ostile a chiederti di farlo, un atto vandalico è un sabotaggio e un'intercettazione è un'attività di spionaggio!
Qualunque sia la vostra opinione o la vostra etica, prestarsi ai "suggerimenti" di un "agente" di un altro Stato può comportare pene molto gravi!

Like the emergence from a cocoon, often I can feel my soul fighting to leave my body, my head both hurts and has the feeling of emptiness, while my heart often feels as though it has been slowly ripped apart, and as it still pumps my blood through it, I can feel every single twitch and with a thump thump thump, I can feel my blood both pumping and dumping out throughout my chest, for my breath often shortened and labored still to strong for my body to rest, yes my soul continues to fight to emerge from my body, and my body defies it's urge to go;

Screen technology will cause a crisis of loneliness and will lead to widespread depression.
Then, society will grow more fragmented and disconnected.
Technology promises to liberate us, but it controls us for the benefit of others.
The people who control the technology hide their goals.
Our survival will depend on our ability to remain independent of these forces.
Kindness and compassion will be the starting point.
Art can help us heal.

Das Bild zeigt ein altes, handgeschriebenes Notizblatt auf einem cremefarbenen Tischcloth mit einem dekorativen Muster. Das Blatt ist leicht vergilbt und trägt die Aufschrift in blauer Tinte: "Tank Vlasa, Orel Ldawes Walter isn't Fracill." Die Schrift ist handschriftlich und etwas unregelmäßig, was auf eine persönliche Nachricht hinweist. Im linken unteren Bereich des Blattes ist ein kleines, gedrucktes Etikett mit den Worten "Burghardt E233 Nwaves" zu sehen. Das Blatt scheint aus einem Brief oder einer Postkarte zu stammen, da es eine Adresse oder eine Nachricht enthält.

China is steadily making progress on the crewed mission to the moon. Fueled by massive funding and steady progress on its Long March 10 rocket, China aims to land astronauts on the moon by 2030. While the US Artemis program targets 2027, it faces mounting delays and is unlikely to hit the target.
The first nation to land could gain a significant geopolitical advantage by establishing future operational standards on the moon.
