I had forgotten that Brooke van Velden said this: "When it came to COVID, we completely blew out what the value of a life was, completely, I’ve never seen such a high value on life.” One of those people who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Sooner we get these people out of our government the better. #NZPol #WorstGovernmentEver
rightwing terrorist and member of parliament brooke van velden being openly critical of new zealanders for valuing new zealanders' lives.
the new zealanders who do not value life elected it. seems like the easiest solution to this terrorism is to end the lives of all these whose existence is a threat to all life.
There aren't any protests happening near me (on this side of the border) tomorrow, as far as I know. But there IS a Pride Parade nearby, which is even better!
American friends: be smart, be safe, protest creatively if you are able to!

To those who are participating in a #NoKings #protest tomorrow, thank you for standing up for #democracy. 💙 Please stay nonviolent, know your exits, and know your rights. Above all, please stay safe, my friends. ❤️
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.
MILWAUKEE — Polish Fest kicked off Friday at the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee, offering visitors traditional Polish food, music and cultural experiences.
"New Kid in Town" is a song by the #Eagles from their 1976 studio album #HotelCalifornia. It was written by #DonHenley, #GlennFrey and #JDSouther. Released as the first single from the album, the song reached number one in the U.S. and number 20 in the UK. The single version has an earlier fade-out than the album version. Frey sings the lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar, with Henley providing the main harmony vocals and drums. youtube.com/watch?v=qqDHdU9JDQ…
The Czech Republic is going to deliver even more ammunition to Ukraine this year under its ongoing initiative and aims to continue the effort into 2026.
have an iPhone? 5 rapid thumb presses on right side button will disable Face ID / fingerprint recognition temporarily. No need to mess with settings, so it’s good if you’re in a hurry!
Also, disable WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and location service whenever you're not using them.
[RISKY ]If you still want to have biometric enabled, biometric can be trmporary disabled for once if you quickly press your iPhone power button >5 times, or long press Android phone's power button and choose Lockdown (may not be present on some Android device with manufacturer's customization. Disable biometrics totally if this is the case). HOWEVER, note that it maybe hard to complete when police is coming to grab your phone.
It's VERY RISKY to post pictures taken on protest as it may expose people near you to prosecution. IF you really wanted to, blur/cover others' face first!
Your phone is an essential tool, but it also represents a huge risk to your privacy and security. Understanding these best practices when it comes to securing your smartphone will help keep you and your data safe.
What a great idea - practical & useful - for anyone who must take their phone (due to family responsibilities, stuff like that). This has legs & could be easily adapted for other situations with a clear legal need. Thanks! 🙂
While Face ID is arguably the most secure way to protect your device, if you’re ever in a situation where someone might compel you to unlock your phone with Face ID, there’s a convenient shortcut to disable biometrics.

@noondlyt sorry I deleted my comment. On the surface it's about a guy shooting someone but the deeper meaning is about Freddie's personal struggles so I'm being unfair
Also fair. Music is a personal experience and different for everyone. What it meant to the songwriter is not necessarily what it will mean to the listener.

What a horrible thing to say when you've killed half a million women and children in the last year alone by committing #genocide.
What a stupid thing to say when the IOF is famous for "effectively" killing only women and children.
What a fucking idiotic thing to say when the whole world has already figured out that you are completely copying Goebbels as the "good Nazi" you have become, and blame others for what you're already doing.
Just another example of many where #Zionists deliberately use Goebbels' tactic of "blaming others for what you do" They have fully embraced Nazism apparently.
@nanook What I really believe is that they are now so obsessed with killing innocents and civilians, and anyone else who opposes the genocide, that they are no longer impressed by the numbers. They would have no problem bombing any European country that resisted their apartheid. Worse than the Schutzstaffel
@Spartacus While Jordan intercepted a bunch of them, they should not go cry to Macron saying Israel has the right to defend itself, Merz was informed before the attack as well the USA despite they denounce it. So, it boils to> Israel may do whatever it wants and no one may retaliate? Then we'll have even more public disorder here in EU, more specifically in the axis of the 3 Fr, GB and those Germans again.
@zer0unplanned in the EU we are doomed. First of all by the economic disaster that is coming and secondly by the fascism that you are spreading all around us
@Spartacus I knew we were doomed since 2 years ago, I do NOT spread Fascism or precise me exactly where please. How can you tell that to me? Fascist? I'm antifa. That keeps reality real and what it is and condemn fascism, what did you thought of me?? I'm a National EU, but my roots are Arab> ok? As I condemn Fascism as I doubt you know what it exactly is in comparision of your accusation to me is that you are an extremist leftist that name all what is not war against the bad means spreading fascism? Look, imma not engage in BS as I been told. So bye and good luck. Also, you are lucky I left bad habits behind, so be aware who you insult for fascist next time around, ok? Facsism can be left as well. Ultra and you do not scare me.

It’s not that every country is bowing down to Israel. It’s the elites in every country that are invested in Israel. It’s not a rogue state, it’s a rogue ideology!

the existence of one punch man suggests the existence of zero punch man
and then there's *minus* one punch man. wins after getting punched once.
also infinite punches man wins after punching forever, and if he and minus infinite punches man fought forever, that would give rise to not a number of punches man.
The discourse I've heard lately is that quantum wave functions involve complex numbers so it must be "real" in a sense that the universe wouldn't exist without the idea. Though complex numbers are just a convenient abstraction for trig, and nobody ever had a clever revelation that made them decide trig was real.
Also, it's not controversial that *all* math is a model that exists exclusively within our minds. Like the color blue, it's real in a sense, but the universe doesn't require it 😛
@mcc Specifically to your question, you could put everything in terms of phase and amplitude, or compare a signal to two real valued ones and get the same results. Complex numbers just package that all up in a nice abstraction.
I think it's just that imaginary numbers weird people out, but you can solve other actual problems with those as well. They are just an abstraction!
Like complex numbers coincidentally follow trig rules, dual numbers follow differentiation rules. Are they also "real"?
@slembcke @mcc complex numbers are not a convenient abstraction, they are 2-dim vectors. the extra dimension isn't optional - at least not in QM. it is information that is really there.
@mcc My point is though that it’s just a value with two degrees of freedom and rules that follow trig. There are multiple ways to express that without imaginary numbers. Same with dual numbers in that they aren’t required to express differentiation, or transforms not requiring matrices. They just make for a convenient model to understand reality, but arguably the universe isn’t “made of math”.
@slembcke So what I focus on (and maybe I'm about to say something incorrect)
The fact EM fields have two degrees of freedom and rules that follow trig *means something*. It points us to a useful realization (EM is a U(1) gauge field). Admittedly it "points" only to a different spot in the math labyrinth but you can still do something useful with that knowledge.
What does it mean that quantum probabilities have two degrees of freedom and follow trig rules/use a 2-norm?
