Jack Smith said in his opening remarks before the House judiciary committee:
“No one should be above the law in this country,
and the law required that he be held to account, So that is what I did.”
Smith’s appearance came with the risk of sore loser Trump and his MAGa thugs on Capitol Hill
poised to seize on any admissions or misstatements that could be used as a basis to
refer him for investigation by the justice department,
which Trump has demanded for y…

In tegenstelling tot mijn verwachting is de incidentie griepachtige klachten gedaald tot het niveau van 2 weken geleden, i.p.v. verder gestegen tot boven de epidemische grens. Nog (lang) geen griepgolf dus.

One more thought...
One of the more toxic elements of the whole "manosphere" thing relative to dating is the application of game theory to relationships. They've got people trying to "maximize their dating potential" or whatever, trying to find the "most attractive march" (which is it's own fucked up thing I'm not even going to dig in to). But that whole mindset is basically going to always leave you miserable.
Oh, you're single? You need a partner. Oh you have a partner? Could you get a "better" one?
It turns relationships into the endless pointless grind of capitalism. Fuck that. None of that shit makes sense. No matter how "well" you do in that game, you always feel like a loser. Everyone does. Fuck that game. Quit.
The constant desire makes you miserable and your misery makes you unlikable. When you let go of it, you leave room to experience what is instead of constantly imagining what could be.
You will always be able to imagine a better "could be" than what is now. By comparing your situation now to that "could be" you will always see your situation as bad because it's worse than your yardstick.
Is your situation good for you? Is it serving you? It can be good and it can also be possible to make it better. When was the last time you just experience your life instead of trying to strategize your way into "something better."
Throw away the yardstick. Something something Buddha.
Edit: all this is of course aside from the whole objectification thing, which is it's own whole set of fucked up. But yeah... All that shit is real bad news.

So many publications are reporting RansomHouse's claim that it had hacked a key Apple contractor, Luxshare. This morning I saw at least twelve publications reporting, so I posted about it too.
But as HackRead notes, it's just a claim by a criminal group with no confirmation. "Nevertheless, until Luxshare confirms an incident or the attackers release verifiable data, the claim remains just that."
I really wish cyber and tech publications would stop doing this --…

Not sure what in the 26 years I've been using it for buying and selling basically nothing but weird (and often obscure) music and collectibles would have suggested to eBay that I'd ever be into some shit like 'luxury fashion', but it's 2026, and here we are

Abstract: High-quality and prebunched electron beams can produce coherent x-rays with high intensity and narrow bandwidth, which is essential for modern light sources. An all-optical scheme based on plasma-based acceleration to produce bright electron beams that are pre-bunched on nanometer-scales is proposed. By using a density modulation created by two low intensity counter-propagating lasers, the phase velocity of the plasma wake excited by an intense driver laser in a uniform plasma can be modulated at a frequency twice that of the colliding lasers and thus turn the injection on and off. The injected electrons are micro-bunched at the Doppler shifted wavelength of the modulated wavelength using the corresponding phase velocity of the gradual expansion of the wakefield. It is demonstrated that by controlling the properties of the drive and colliding lasers, that beams with exotic pre-bunched structures can be produced, which may have critical applications in ultrafast high power x-rays. This extremely compact, all-optical scheme to produce ultra-bright pre-bunched electron beams may therefore enable novel applications for ultrafast x-ray users and arouse general interest in various fields.

I was reminded today that Garry Tan, reportedly a centimillionaire, has the most entry-level ass booze in his private booze locker. No taste. It would be a kindness to confiscate these men's wealth and spare them from embarrassing themselves.

Eye-surgery laser could be adapted for other organs, say scientists
Scientists in Scotland have shown that a type of laser already similar to the one currently used in routine eye surgery could one day help surgeons remove unwanted tissues, such as tumors, with unprecedented accuracy.
