Every event that has taken place in this universe has led you to this moment.
Every star exploding, every planet colliding, every molecule combining, every quantum occurrence, every life that arises, every adaptation, every evolution of every species, every birth, every death, every thought, every realization, and every action taken by anyone who has ever lived...
The real question is,
What will you do with this moment?

"Hell on Earth has returned to Gaza," said Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the U.N. humanitarian office in Geneva. The "humanitarian pause" has failed and our leaders' inability to achieve an actual ceasefire or take action is abhorrent.

Zedtopia still works even on lockdown mode: although google fonts & editor glyphs are blocked the fallback fonts show up crisp and OG ninja wizard mode with highlighting & code editing works perfectly. power users & journalists rejoice!

gonna do an update to support lockdown mode loading of font-awesome and other styles so hopefully everything loads without any issue.

Forensic Methodology Report: How to catch NSO Groupβs Pegasus
NSO Group claims that its Pegasus spyware is only used to βinvestigate terrorism and crimeβ and βleaves no traces whatsoeverβ. This Forensic Methodology Report shows that neither of these statements are true. This report accompanies the release of the Pegasus Project, a collaborative investigation that involves more than 80 journalists from 17 media organizations in 10 countries coordinated by Forbidden Stories with technical support of Amnesty Internationalβs Security Lab. Amnesty Internationalβs Security Lab has performed in-depth forensic analysis of numerous mobile devices from human rights defenders (HRDs) and journalists around the world. This research has uncovered widespread, persistent and ongoing unlawful surveillance and human rights abuses perpetrated using NSO Groupβs Pegasus spyware.

I updated the population counter code to only count people who have created a profile. While we have about 3400 users, only 68 people actually made a profile and chose a username. I'd rather have honest accurate metrics.

The "White Rose" movement was founded in June 1942 by Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst... Very few groups openly protested the Nazi genocide against Jews like they did. They were executed by Nazis for distributing leaflets.

The American Dream has *never* existed for people of color. In fact, the American Dream has always been at the expense of people of color in a permanent underclass, whether from colonialism or globalism.

Your Right to Mental Privacy in the age of Brain Sensing Technology. They used this tech to eavesdrop on what I was thinking while at the deli looking at the ice cream freezer! Thank god I know occlumency. Still. We have no privacy.
Nita Farahany: Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech
Neurotechnology, or devices that let you track your own brain activity, could help you deeply understand your health. But without privacy protections, your innermost thoughts, emotions and desires could be at risk of exploitation, says neurotech and AI ethicist Nita Farahany. She details some of the field's promising potential uses -- like tracking and treating diseases from depression to epilepsy -- and shares concerns about who collects our brain data and how they plan to use it, ultimately calling for the legal recognition of "cognitive liberty" as we connect our brains and minds to technology.

We need people who believe in striving for all human rights to Drop In & Escort Humanitarian Aide into Gaza, Sheikh Jarrah, etc. I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong about not helping them, or not taking action against apartheid.
