“They stood in a silence so heavy it seemed to bend the light around them.
Their smiles were hesitant — like doors that had forgotten how to open. And in that moment, I realized: freedom itself can be fragile.
We who survived war thought we had endured the worst — the bombs, the hunger, the endless waiting. But their stories shattered that belief.”

They stood in a silence so heavy it seemed to bend the light around them. Their smiles were hesitant — like doors that had forgotten how to open. And in that moment, I realized: freedom itself can be fragile. We who survived war thought we had endured the worst — the bombs, the hunger, the endless waiting. But their stories shattered that belief. They spoke of nights drenched in cold water while they slept, of wrists bound until flesh gave way, of blows that d...

Dude, come on. The author could have ended the piece at paragraph 9 by saying “This is the danger the USA now faces,” and they’d have a banger. Instead…yeesh. Can we not?
If they wanted to bring Israel into it, they could have focused on Netanyahu avoiding corruption charges. There’s an argument for “state capture” being a useful lens there. But no, the writer just had to go full “secret world order.”

Who knew you could shove a brass plaque down the memory hole?

Jan. 6 plaque absent from Capitol around fifth anniversary of attack
Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy is nowhere to be found. It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts are not publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has yet to formally unveil the plaque. And the Trump administration’s Justice Department is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit asking that it be displayed. In…

A judge has ruled that, for now,
asylum seekers are not required to pay an annual fee for each year their application is pending.

including asylum seekers.
The legislation requires that they pay a $100 filing fee and an Annual A…

"One workload I now support would cost an estimated £6000 per month to run on one of the large cloud providers, which would allow me to purchase the actual hardware in use four times over every year. But “spinning up an instance” today using free credits means you can worry about that cost later, whereas ordering a box from Dell means waiting two to three business days by which time the hackathon is over."

Five Computers
There is no direct evidence that Thomas Watson, Sr. predicted in 1943 that there would be "a world market for five computers". First, he probably didn't know about computers back then: in the 1940s computers were classified research projects at the UK Government Code and Cipher School and the US Army, while Watson's IBM were famously involved with the other side during the war.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a scene from a science fiction television production with a distinctive 1970s-80s aesthetic. Two performers are pictured in costume - one wearing a black and white medieval-inspired outfit with a belt, while the other is dressed in a simple light-colored tunic or jumpsuit with textured fabric. The setting appears to be inside a futuristic spacecraft or base with louvered panels visible in the background. The lighting and film quality have the…
