As a court in London found three members of a Russian spy ring guilty, VOA Russian spoke to Roman Dobrokhotov, the editor-in-chief of the Russian investigative outlet The Insider, who was a target of the spy ring's plot.
businessinsider.com/asked-reti… I empathize with this neighbor aversion. The place where I lived as a child had an unwritten rule. You keep your head down and mouth shut. We moved when I was a teen. For a while, we had some nice neighbors. Some questionable business practices caused the apartment complex to go downhill. Police became a common sight. We moved again in my college years. A few neighbors became more than sharing pleasantries. Sadly, they left. A few retired, one passed, and one left because of severe racism. They were a great family. It hurt to lose them, but we wish them the best. I'm still afraid to get to know my neighbors, but I try to be kind.
The amount of AI-generated robo-voiced ads now on Serius XM is a bit nauseating, just wow. You can even tell, most of them don't take a breath and say the numbers repeatedly the same way. True, true. It could be edited, but I'm also hearing the same voices across multiple ads, like that one female lady who sort of sounds like Ivona Sally. I bet a lot of ad agencies have jumped on the AI train. WI've even heard ads on there referencing the new tarifs, so just the update interval for ads is also much higher now as a result, an ad can change from one day to the next. Interesting side effect.
The security officer refused to compromise with the crew on carrying smgs and revolvers. It was only when the submarine was on the bottom of the ocean with mudraptors bashing the doors open open did security realize the error of their ways #barotrauma
Seeing a bunch of devs on bsky saying not to go or that they've canceled their plans to go to GDC
Given how many people are being detained for weeks/months for stretched interpretations of "they're working illegally" and how basically everyone goes to GDC for work I can't say I disagree
Wonder what this kind of thing will do to the US economy over the long term
Normally I would say it couldn't be good for their economy, but looking at all the other stuff that's happening, the effect may as well be completely lost as noise among all the other things doing damage.
@deshipu Yup, I was about to say (and still am going to, sorry), we will be in a recession long before the effects of this particular thing are felt. Hell, we might be in a depression by then.
Long term, I think this is very destructive to the US economy.
I forget where I saw it first, but others have mentioned that some of the big attractions for capital are the rule of law, a decent regulatory environment, a free market, a sense of fair play, and a history of honoring their commitments.
That's all out the window now.
I think there's no good reason why any company would choose to do business here rather than somewhere like Canada, Mexico, the UK, France or Germany. Even if they have an inside connection with the political power currently in office, it's a fragile and subject to the whims of the despot.
High on the hillsides of the Waraira Repano mountain, a sea of cinderblock homes pushes up to the edge of the forest.
This is the commune of Altos de Lidice. They have been organizing. Organizing to bring sports to local kids in the community. Organizing to ensure that everyone in the neighborhood has access to water, education, and, above all, health.
These are dire needs in 2019 Venezuela.
US sanctions are wreaking havoc. They were first imposed by Obama and then ramped up by Trump. They block Venezuela from trading internationally and selling oil, its top export. The sanctions have unraveled the economy and spiked inflation. Millions of Venezuelans are fleeing the country.
Broken cars sit along roadsides, because there are no parts to fix them. Water systems are failing, because replacement parts can’t be purchased from abroad. Health suppli

Broken cars sit along roadsides, because there are no parts to fix them. Water systems are failing, because replacement parts can’t be purchased from abroad. Health supplies are hard to find. So is medicine.
The shelves of pharmacies across the country are empty. Pharmacists say almost half of their product is impossible to acquire. The medicine they do have is so overpriced, it’s out of reach for most Venezuelans.
“People with cancer pretty much just die, because they just can’t afford it,” one pharmacist in Caracas tells me.
And that is what’s happening. According to one study, tens of thousands of people have died over the last two years, due to the sanctions. People with cancer, people who need dialysis, people with diabetes and hypertension, and who can’t acquire insulin or heart meds.
But neighbors in the Altos de Lidice commune are standing up for each other. They’ve created a community pharmacy. They get the medicine from anywhere they can. Donations from abroad. From individuals. Solidarity groups. Medicine has been brought to them from Australia, Brazil, Italy, and Chile.
It’s run by a health committee organized by a group of neighbors. They meet in one of their homes. The same place the pharmacy is run out of.
A sign sits out front. “Communal Pharmacy. Health for the Barrio.”
The medicine is all free. It’s delivered to those with a doctor’s note from the local community health clinic. Which is also free.
It’s one small service. But for those in the community here, it’s making a tremendous difference. It’s a matter of survival. A lifeboat in a sea of struggle.
Community resistance, in the face of harsh sanctions—and US intervention.

Elon Musk and President Trump’s push to lay off federal workers may jeopardize the Federal Trade Commission's lawsuit against Amazon. pcmag.com/news/ftc-asks-judge-…
The FTC accuses Amazon of duping people into signing up for Prime. But it's hard to prepare for a trial when Elon Musk fires your attorneys and support staff.
EU intel reveils Russia’s “peace” terms: Trump’s 100-day peace plan is unrealistic, the war won’t stop before 2026, occupied territories must be recognized, Ukraine must abandon NATO, Kyiv’s govt must change, and Russia demands a buffer zone and a demilitarized South. reddit.com/r/UkrainianConflict…
After Ukraine staged its biggest-ever drone attack on Moscow, which coincided with the U.S.-Ukrainian talks in Saudi Arabia, VOA Russian spoke to regional experts who saw it as Kyiv's signal to Vladimir Putin to convince him to agree to a ceasefire.
It's irresponsible on a deadly level to give even 50% of an article's real estate to the absolute horse shit that RFJ Jr says about Measles, MMR, and vaccination. Briefly report his bullshit and then tell the truth about Measles, MMR, and vaccination.

Hm. If you draw a line on a map from the place you found this, back toward Manhattan and aligned diagonally with the Manhattan street grid. Does the line intersect any of those parks with public chess boards. If so, maybe you can extrapolate where it was going

“Congress would later find that though bureau officials undertook COINTELPRO in the name of national security, its purpose was “preventing or disrupting the exercise of First Amendment rights.” The program took tactics developed for use against foreign adversaries during war and applied them to citizens: leaking phony allegations, sending anonymous poison-pen letters, interfering with jobs, having people arrested on drug charges, distributing misinformation, and encouraging violence. “In essence, the Bureau took the law into its own hands, conducting a sophisticated vigilante operation against domestic enemies,” the committee said. “Many of the techniques used would be intolerable in a democratic society even if all of the targets had been involved in violent activity, but COINTELPRO went far beyond that. The unexpressed major premise of the programs was a law enforcement agency has the duty to do whatever is necessary to combat perceived threats to the existing social and political order.”

The surface shown in my last few posts can be described as a diagonal on the hypersphere. In this 🧵 I'll expand a bit on what I mean by that.
On a sphere we can trace 'loxodrome' curves of constant bearing, diagonal to the longitude/latitude directions, spiralling from one pole of the sphere to the antipodal one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhumb_li…
Stereographically projecting from the top pole onto a horizontal plane gives logarithmic spirals, where one of the poles projects to the point at infinity. However, if instead we turn the sphere on its side before projecting we get a family of beautiful double spiral curves which reveal the true symmetrical nature of the 2 poles.
What is the equivalent of these curves in one dimension up?
Instead of the familiar sphere in 3d space a.k.a. the 2-sphere (which can be parameterised with 2 coordinates, longitude and latitude) we now have the 3-sphere or hypersphere in 4d space.
Stereographic projection which maps the 2-sphere to the flat plane can also be generalised to higher dimensions, and it conformally maps the 3-sphere to our familiar Euclidean 3d space.
This projects Hopf coordinates to a triply orthogonal system composed of spheres, planes and nested tori. At one extreme the torus becomes a horizontal circle and at the other a vertical line (or circle through infinity) through its centre (see toroidal coordinates here mathcurve.com/surfaces.gb/trip…).
So, I figured out that I’m trans about five years ago. At first, dysphoria was terrible, but over time, things got better, the euphoria suppressed the dysphoria, even though I wasn’t on HRT until last month. I was questioning why feeling dysphoria became less common and not as strong either, and why I was doing well without HRT (though I’m super happy that I started). Well, I guess I just don’t care that much about 'passing' as a woman. I’m just happy being Amy. I like my name, I like portraying myself in a feminine form, and I like she/her pronouns, but I don’t mind they/them either. Like, I don’t even care that much about being misgendered. I don’t like it, it makes me sad sometimes, but I feel like I care way less than most.
At first, I felt bad about being kinda masculine or liking things that are usually associated with men, but over time, I learned to accept that part of myself too. Like, masculine women exist, right? Having a non-binary headmate fronting for me recently made me question why I’m okay with things that most trans girls aren’t. Dunno where I’m going with this, just thinking, I guess.
passing is something that isn't really important to us either, partially because we've kinda internalized that because of our height and proportions, we'll never pass, so there's not really any use in stressing over it. And in terms of gender, I believe that gender is unique to every individual in how they feel and express themselves. I grew up forced to conform to one gender, and the idea of transitioning just to conform to another feels restraining. Like, I'm waaaayyy more like a girl than anything else, but I'm not going to do or not do anything just because "girls do that/girls don't do that". I am myself, that's my gender, and I'm going to express it however I see fit, and not worry about passing or fitting in.
Judge Howell is issuing her order from the bench right now. She is granting the temporary restraining order blocking the Trump executive order targeting Perkins Coie!
it is a tale as old as time that the PRs from people who apologise in the description are solid gold, and the PRs from people who think they're hot shit are not that great
