"Dr Ahmed al-Farra, a senior doctor at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, witnessed the arrival of some of the remains.

“I was able to see three bodies when they were transferred to the Nasser hospital. They had bullets in their chest and head. They were executed. They had their hands tied,’’ Farra said. “They tied them so they were unable to move and then they killed them.”"

I took this the other day at my friend's house in Phoenix. I didn't think these would grow here because the humidity is so low, but I guess I am mistaken.

The Trump administration and Elon Musk’s DOGE have begun dismantling the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), beginning with stated plan is to cut half of the agency’s workforce.

Their biggest cuts appear to be in the Large Business and International division, which audits wealthy individuals and companies with more than $10 million in assets. These are essentially the workers that make sure billionaires and corporations pay their taxes.

Musk and Trump claim to be sage businessmen, but it would be hard to find a business owner in America that would dismantle their accounts receivable department when their wealthiest clients still owe them money.

So make no mistake: These cuts will cost taxpayers a lot more than they save.

Just thought it was funny

Now, thousands of protesters have been detained and government-owned media appears to be running a blackout on any coverage of the protests. A number of journalists have been arrested and a BBC reporter has even been deported after his reporting of demonstrations.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters have gathered across Turkey in what was initially to express opposition to Imamoglu’s arrest, but have quickly bloomed into wider anti-government gatherings. However, Turkish state media has been accused of censoring any coverage of the protests. The Guardian reported that government owned channels broadcast interviews with ministers unrelated to the protests and that:

Substantive coverage of the protests has instead been the preserve of the small slice of newspapers and cable channels that exist outside the well funded and slick pro-government broadcasting networks.

Following months of testing, Plex has started to roll out its redesigned mobile app to Android and iOS devices, and it will arrive to everyone within the next week. The new app comes with an updated navigation system that should make it easier to access different parts of the app and find content to watch, along with a dedicated tab for centralized media libraries.

It also has a button in the top-right corner of the screen for your Watchlist and more artwork across detail pages for shows and movies, as well as cast and crew profiles. In a post on the Plex forum, the company outlines a ton of improvements it has made to the app since the preview, including faster load times and scrolling, the addition of a sleep timer, and picture-in-picture support.

Try equipping different weapons aboard your ship, by the way.

Now THAT is a big iron on his hip

German public prosecutors have charged the “Last Generation” climate protection group with forming a criminal organisation under Section 129 of the Criminal Code. The charges are a massive attack on the freedoms of association, assembly and expression, fundamental rights without which there can be no democracy.

On 28 February, 2025, the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office filed charges at the Munich I Regional Court against five members of Last Generation. The document accuses the activists of forming a criminal organisation with the intention of committing crimes. The indictment is 149 pages long. Among the accused is the well-known climate activist Carla Hinrichs, the group’s former press spokeswoman. Also indicted is the founder of the Augsburg Climate Camp, Ingo Blechschmidt.

The main accusation used to justify prosecution as a “criminal organisation” is the classification of blockades of road traffic by gluing oneself to the road as “coercion.” This accusation alone is highly controversial. Lower courts have repeatedly rejected it.

The administration froze $400 million in funding to Columbia last month over similar concerns

I know you're a fucking idiot the moment you use the phrase, "woke ideology", unironically.

Bernier is a fucking idiot.

A specific example from me would be implementing LLM AI into my code (genetically) and without more details than that I'll get people demanding that I don't do that and giving suggestions for what I should do.

Suggestions are cool, but I'm gonna ask why I should not put LLM in my code in a generic sense just to have my question ignored or have lies and insults hurled my way

It's cool if you want to answer that question, I'm just curious about other people's similar story about receiving resistance to follow up questions if you just have to say those people aren't worth it or you feel like you missed something you shouldn't have in those situations.
