A few financial tips my father shared with me that has kept me secure and taught me valuable lessons on saving and future planning..
When it comes to managing your money, always apply the 30:30:30:10 rule. This means allocating 30% towards your day-to-day or monthly expenses, 30% towards investments, 30% for future retirement savings, and 10% for your wants and luxuries.
I consider myself fortunate to live with my parents, which means I don’t have to cover utilities or household expenses. However, instead of spending all of my income on luxuries and my wants, I divide it thoughtfully. I allocate 15% more towards investments, ensuring that my money works for me and provides a return. The remaining 15% is set aside and added to my personal wants and luxuries.
Don't use the full amount for luxuries because you want to make sure that you are using the extra funds wisely. This way, you can contribute towards your future plans, even if while living with parents. It’s important to enjoy the present, but always be prepared for the future.
Never keep all your money in one bank account. There are several reasons for this. If you don’t see your money, you’re less likely to spend it, by keeping your investments and savings in a separate account that you rarely check, you’re less tempted to dip into them so keep them separate from your regular income in a different bank account. Also having your money spread out in multiple accounts is much more safer than having it all in one place.
Always put your savings and investments into a high yield savings account so that your money doesn't lose value due to inflation overtime and you profit through interest return.
If you notice your income increasing significantly, it might be wise to consult a financial advisor or get an accountant. A professional can provide valuable advice on how to save, invest, and manage your growing assets effectively.
Use a separate bank account for online shopping. Opt for digital payment platforms like PayPal or Venmo. Even with reputable brands, it’s safer not to provide your primary bank details. I personally use a completely separate account for online shopping, only transferring money when needed, and it has kept me secure for a long time.

Oliver Milman and Anna Betts at The Guardian:
A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze of all grants and loans disbursed by the federal government, a decision that upended programs relied upon by millions of Americans.
US district judge Loren AliKhan ordered an administrative stay on the funding pause on Tuesday afternoon, moments before it was set to take effect. The stay, issued in response to a lawsuit brought by a group of non-profits and small businesses, pauses the administration’s action until Monday. In a two-page internal memo on Monday, Matthew Vaeth, Trump’s acting head of the office of management and budget (OMB), instructed all federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all federal financial assistance”. Vaeth said that the pause did not include social security or Medicare , and that the assistance put on hold “does not include assistance provided directly to individuals”. If allowed to take effect, the order could have far-reaching consequences that touch nearly every corner of American society, including universities, the non-profit sector, cancer research, food assistance, suicide hotlines, hospitals, community health centers, non-profits that help disabled veterans and many more.
Democratic attorneys general said on Tuesday they also planned to sue to prevent the memo from taking effect. Letitia James, the New York attorney general, said her office would take “imminent legal action against this administration’s unconstitutional pause on federal funding. We won’t sit idly by while this administration harms our families.” The administrative stay came in response to a lawsuit filed by four groups representing non-profits, public health professionals and small businesses in which they said the directive was illegal and would have a “devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of grant recipients who depend on the inflow of grant money”. The groups said the directive would disrupt education, healthcare, housing and disaster relief and would devastate “hundreds of thousands of grant recipients who depend on the inflow of grant money”. At a news conference on Tuesday morning, Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate leader from New York, described the order as “a dagger at the heart of the average American families, in red states and blue states, in cities and suburbs and rural areas”.
Joined at the news conference by the Democratic senators Amy Klobuchar, Patty Murray, Jeff Merkley and Andy Kim, Schumer noted that among the programs potentially affected was Meals on Wheels, which provides hot meals to at-risk seniors and is partly funded by the federal government. The proposed halt in spending comes days after the US also immediately cut off all foreign aid, and was designed to ensure that financial assistance is in line with Trump’s policies, Vaeth wrote.
[...] Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, said that the White House was aware of the “website portal outage” and that they had confirmed that no payments had been affected and that payments “are still being processed and sent”. “We expect the portal will be back online shortly,” she added. In a press conference on Tuesday, Leavitt pushed back against suggestions the memo caused chaos and uncertainty and said it would not affect direct assistance to individuals, including social security, Medicare, welfare and food stamps. She did not clarify, however, whether aid that goes through organizations to individuals, like Meals on Wheels, would be affected. “[The] only uncertainty in this room is amongst the media,” said Leavitt, blaming the press for anxieties spurred by the measure.
In a dose of good news, just before the disastrous freeze would have taken effect at 5PM ET/4PM CT yesterday, Judge Loren AliKhan put a temporary halt to Tyrant 47’s egregiously dictatorial order to freeze all federal grants and loans.

NPR has suspended Uri Berliner, the senior editor who published a bombshell essay a week ago that claimed that the publicly funded outlet has “lost America’s trust” by approaching news stories with a left-wing bias.
NPR media writer David Folkenflik revealed on Tuesday that Berliner beginning on Friday was suspended for five days without pay. Folkenflik, who reviewed a copy of the letter from NPR brass, said the company told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets — a requirement for NPR journalists.
NPR called the letter a “final warning,” saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR’s policy again.
Neither NPR nor Berliner immediately responded to requests for comment.
Berliner is a dues-paying member of NPR’s newsroom union, but Folkenflik reported that the editor is not appealing the punishment.
Berliner, a Peabody Award-winning journalist who has worked at NPR for 25 years, called out journalistic blind spots around major news events, including the origins of COVID-19, the war in Gaza and the Hunter Biden laptop, in an essay published Tuesday on Bari Weiss’ online news site the Free Press.
The fallout from the essay sparked outrage from many of his colleagues. Late Monday afternoon, NPR chief news executive Edith Chapin announced to the newsroom that executive editor Eva Rodriguez would lead monthly meetings to review coverage.
The fiasco also ignited a firestorm of criticism from prominent conservatives — with former President Donald Trump demanding NPR’s federal funding be yanked — and has led to internal tumult, the New York Times reported Friday.
NPR’s new chief executive Katherine Maher defended NPR’s journalism, calling Berliner’s article “profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning,” The 42-year-old exec added that the essay amounted to “a criticism of our people on the basis of who we are.”
Folkenflik said Berliner took umbrage at that, saying she had “denigrated him.” Berliner said he supported diversifying NPR’s workforce to look more like the US population at large. Maher did not address that in a subsequent private exchange he shared with Folkenflik for the story.
The fiasco soon put the spotlight on Maher, whose own left-leaning bias came to light in a trove of woke, anti-Trump tweets she penned.
In January, when Maher was announced as NPR’s new leader, The Post revealed her penchant for parroting the progressive line on social media — including bluntly biased Twitter posts like “Donald Trump is a racist,” which she wrote in 2018.
That hyper-partisan message was scrubbed from the platform now known as X, but preserved on the site Archive.Today.
It’s unclear when Maher deleted it, or if its removal was tied to her new gig.
Other woke posts remain on Maher’s X account. In 2020, as the George Floyd riots raged, she attempted to justify the looting epidemic in Los Angeles as payback for the sins of slavery.
“I mean, sure, looting is counterproductive,” Maher wrote on May 31, 2020.
“But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property.”
The next day, she lectured her 27,000 followers on “white silence.”
“White silence is complicity,” she scolded. “If you are white, today is the day to start a conversation in your community.”
The NPR job is Maher’s first position in journalism or media.
She was previously the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, the San Francisco-based nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia, after holding communications roles for the likes of HSBC, UNICEF and the World Bank.
Maher earned a bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies from New York University, according to her LinkedIn account, and grew up in Wilton, Conn. — a town that her mother, Ceci Maher, now represents as a Democratic state senator.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he’s chosen Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative from Hawaii, as his nominee for the country’s next director of national intelligence. Gabbard, who’s been an outspoken critic of U.S. military support for Ukraine for years, would be the first Hindu and the first person of color to serve in the role if confirmed by Congress. She would also be the first presidential cabinet member whose name appears on Myrotvorets, an unofficial Ukrainian online database of people accused of colluding with Russia or participating in pro-Russian separatist movements. Meduza explains the controversy surrounding this site and what likely landed Gabbard on the list.
What is Myrotvorets?
According to The Times, The Myrotvorets database was created in 2014 by Ukrainian politician Heorhiy Tuka and a former State Security Service (SBU) officer using the pseudonym Roman Zaitsev, the latter of whom still runs the site today. With a name that translates to “Peacemaker,” the project purports to track “enemies of the Ukrainian state.” However, it’s faced frequent criticism — and even criminal investigations — for “doxxing” journalists and activists over alleged anti-Ukrainian statements, posting their names and personal information on the site alongside those of occupation officials, mercenaries, and war criminals.
Myrotvorets is not officially affiliated with the Ukrainian government. Despite Zaitsev’s past SBU experience, he has maintained that the website is not controlled by the agency and does not receive state funding. In January 2022, he told The Times that Myrotvorets was created to solve the problem of “ex-police, ex-military and some political figures, whose beliefs remain pro-Russian”:
As time goes on the mission has changed and in the last three years the number of people getting placed on Myrotvorets for political reasons has increased. Now it lists those who protect the narrative of Russia.
The Times also reported that as of early 2022, Myrotvorets was “widely used to screen individuals at government checkpoints, supplementing official database systems.” Bloomberg has noted that people who have died after being added to the list, such as former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, pro-war propagandist Daria Dugina, and Italian journalist Andrey Rocchelli, are labeled as “liquidated.”
While conspiracy theorists have referred to the database as a hit list, this is not accurate. According to Emily Channell-Justice, the director of the Temerty Contemporary Ukraine Program at Harvard University’s Ukrainian Research Institute, Myrotvorets does not advocate any specific actions but simply “identifies people who are potentially dangerous to the Ukrainian state and its ability to exist.” At the same time, Human Rights Watch Senior Researcher Yulia Gorbunova told The Times in early 2022 that the list was “very dangerous” and had “serious” implications for press freedom.
Former United States Representative Tulsi Gabbard has been included in the Myrotvorets database since at least 2022. Myrotvorets describes Gabbard as a “victim of psychological violence from Russian-terrorist propaganda” and accuses her of “distributing Russian propaganda” and “attacking Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” among other things. It also claims that she’s “likely an agent of Russian intelligence services.”
A longtime isolationist
Unlike many Republicans who initially supported U.S. aid to Ukraine but have soured on the cause as the full-scale war has dragged on, Gabbard — who joined the Republican party less than a month ago — has opposed Washington’s intervention since the invasion’s first day, blaming the Biden administration for the conflict and expressing sympathy for Russia’s position:
Days later, on February 27, 2022, Gabbard posted a video in which she called on U.S. President Joe Biden, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and Russian President Vladimir Putin to “embrace the spirit of aloha” by agreeing on Ukraine’s military neutrality:
Eight months later, in October 2022, Gabbard announced she was leaving the Democratic party, saying it had come under the control of an “elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.” While it would be two more years before she announced she was joining the Republican party, she endorsed Republican U.S. Senatorial candidate (and future Trump vice presidential pick) J.D. Vance, another early critic of Ukraine aid, within weeks of her departure from the Democrats.
In early 2024, Gabbard met with then-presidential nominee Donald Trump to discuss foreign policy, and was later included on his shortlist for running mates. While campaigning for Donald Trump later this year, Gabbard said she was confident that Trump’s “first task will be to do the work to walk us back from the brink of war.”
Is Trump on the Myrotvorets list?
In the days following the U.S. presidential election, rumors began to circulate that Donald Trump had previously been included in the Myrotvorets database but was removed after his victory. This claim, sometimes accompanied by purported screenshots of Trump’s profile, was amplified by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, multiple Russian state media outlets, and even Oleksii Arestovych, a former advisor to the Ukrainian President's Office.
According to Provereno Media, which specializes in debunking fake news, there is no evidence that Trump was ever included on Myrotvorets. The project notes that Myrotvorets director Roman Zaitsev published a post on the site on November 8 naming various figures who are not included in the database but have appeared in fake screenshots. In addition to Trump, Zaitsev’s list of fake entries includes another one of the president-elect’s cabinet nominees, Elon Musk, as well as Polish President Andrzej Duda, Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Francis, and U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

December 6, 2024
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A top Romanian court on Friday annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election, days after allegations emerged that Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round.
The Constitutional Court’s unprecedented decision — which is final — came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia organized thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms such as TikTok and Telegram.
The court, without naming Georgescu, said that one of the 13 candidates in the Nov. 24 first round had improperly received “preferential treatment” on social media, distorting the outcome of the vote.
Georgescu denounced the verdict as an “officialized coup” and an attack on democracy, as did the second-place finisher, reformist Elena Lasconi of the center-right Save Romania Union party.
Despite being an outsider who declared zero campaign spending, Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner who was to face Lasconi in a runoff on Sunday. Some 951 voting stations had already opened abroad on Friday for the runoff for Romania’s large diaspora, but had to be halted.
Iohannis said he would remain in office until a new presidential election could be rerun from scratch. On Dec. 1, one week after the first round of the presidential race, Romania also held a parliamentary election, which saw pro-Western parties win the most votes but also gains for far-right nationalists. Iohannis said that once the new government is formed, the date of the new presidential vote would be set.
On Wednesday the president had released intelligence files from the Romanian Intelligence Service, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Special Telecommunication Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In a televised statement Friday, Iohannis said he was “deeply concerned” by the contents of the intelligence reports. “Intelligence reports revealed that this candidate’s campaign was supported by a foreign state with interests contrary to Romania’s. These are serious issues,” he said.
The Constitutional Court in its published decision cited the illegal use of digital technologies including artificial intelligence, as well as the use of “undeclared sources of funding.” It said one candidate received “preferential treatment on social media platforms, which resulted in the distortion of voters’ expressed will.”
Georgescu slammed the verdict as putting “democracy is under attack.”
“I have only one pact … with the Romanian people and God,” he said in a video statement. “We are no longer talking about fairness but rather about a mockery that betrays the principles of democracy … It is time to show that we are a courageous people who know that the destiny and rights of the Romanian nation are in our hands.”
Lasconi also strongly condemned the court’s decision, saying it was “illegal, immoral, and crushes the very essence of democracy” and that the second round should have gone forward.
“Whether we like it or not, from a legal and legitimate standpoint, 9 million Romanian citizens, both in the country and the diaspora, expressed their preference for a particular candidate through their votes,” she said.
“I know I would have won. And I will win because the Romanian people know I will fight for them, that I will unite them for a better Romania,” she added.
Some 9.4 million people — about 52.5% of eligible voters — had cast ballots in the first round in this European Union and NATO member country. The president serves a five-year term and has significant decision-making powers in national security, foreign policy and judicial appointments.
Most surveys had predicted the top candidate would be Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the ruling center-left Social Democrats. They indicated that second place would be claimed by either Lasconi or the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, George Simion.
As the surprising results came in with Georgescu on top, and Lasconi narrowly beating Ciolacu, it plunged the political establishment into turmoil.
The same court last week ordered a recount of the first-round votes, which added to the myriad controversies that have engulfed a chaotic election cycle. Following a recount, the court then validated the first-round results on Monday.
Many observers have expressed concerns that annulling the vote could trigger civil unrest. The court said Friday that its decision was meant “to restore citizens’ trust in the democratic legitimacy of public authorities, in the legality and fairness of elections.”
Simion, of the far-right party, said the development was a “coup d’état in full swing” but urged people not to take to the streets. “We don’t let ourselves be provoked, this system has to fall democratically,” he said.
Cristian Andrei, a political consultant based in Bucharest, said the court’s decision amounts to a “crisis mode situation for Romanian democracy.”
“In light of the information about the external interference, the massive interference in elections, I think this was not normal but predictable, because it’s not normal times at all, Romania is an uncharted territory,” he told The Associated Press. “The problem is here, do we have the institutions to manage such an interference in the future?”
Georgescu’s surprising success left many political observers wondering how most local surveys were so far off, putting him behind at least five other candidates before the vote.
Many observers attributed his success to his TikTok account, which now has 6 million likes and 541,000 followers. But some experts suspected Georgescu’s online following was artificially inflated while Romania’s top security body alleged he was given preferential treatment by TikTok over other candidates.
In the intelligence release, the secret services alleged that one TikTok user paid more $381,000 (361,000 euros) to other users to promote Georgescu content. Intelligence authorities said information they obtained “revealed an aggressive promotion campaign” to increase and accelerate his popularity.
Georgescu, when asked by the AP in an interview Wednesday whether he believes the Chinese-owned TikTok poses a threat to democracy, defended social media platforms.
“The most important existing function for promoting free speech and freedom of expression is social media,” he said.

The violence against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam last week was a premeditated and coordinated attack orchestrated with extremist networks linked to a former employee of the controversial United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), a group tracking online disinformation told The Algemeiner on Monday.
The Network Contagion Research Institute’s analysis of open-source intelligence and social media also “revealed that protests around the Maccabi Tel Aviv game in Amsterdam was not isolated but part of a broader, coordinated effort,” said the group’s co-founder, Joel Finkelstein.
Amsterdam resident Ayman Nejmeh, who identified himself on social media as a former UNRWA employee, “has emerged as a key organizer, coordinating protest actions against Jewish targets,” Finkelstein added.
Hundreds of Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans, who were visiting the Dutch capital for a game against the local Ajax team, were attacked by Arab and Muslim mobs on Thursday night, landing several in the hospital. It marked the largest mass-scale antisemitic incident in the Netherlands since the Holocaust, with attackers throwing firecrackers and stun grenades, calling for a “Jew hunt,” and forcing Israelis to say “Free Palestine” before beating them up.
Earlier, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were recorded chanting anti-Arab slogans and removing a Palestinian flag, prompting some news outlets to frame the ensuing violence as a response. But Israel had issued a warning to Dutch security services ahead of the game that violence was likely to unfold after Islamic groups appeared to be coordinating a multifront attack on social media.
According to Finkelstein, the phone number of the Syrian-born Nejmeh was listed as an admin for one WhatsApp group utilized by the Palestinian diaspora group, PGNL. Nejmeh took over the group from Palestinian-Dutch national Amin Abou Rashed, who was arrested last year on suspicion of funneling funds to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
PGNL had in the past hosted the late Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran earlier this year, in an online event. The group, whose name in Dutch stands for the “Palestinian Community in the Netherlands,” was also involved in organizing an anti-Israel protest in Dam Square on Sunday, defying a temporary ban imposed after Thursday night’s violence and resulting in dozens of arrests.
The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), whose research spans issues from social media bans to online antisemitism, has collaborated with legislative bodies, including the British government and US Congress, on content moderation and combating hate-based misinformation. The group said that its own findings aligned with that of the European Leadership Network, pointing to a transnational network that is actively stoking anti-Jewish sentiments.

Stretch Goal 1
Hail and wellmet! It's a peaceful Saturday and I have added the first of our stretch goals on kickstarter with some merch options now available as add-ons!
We have happily hurdled over the initial target. At this point we have our deposit paid for the main venue and this will also cover the insurance, tech support, transportation and general con-related shenanigans.
As mentioned before, we have plans for stretch goals. The lesser of these two goals is additional funding for the evening venue that we have dibs on.
The plan is to hold a spectacular party and drag show in the Roxy Central. Our stretch goal would be at least £500 to comfortably pad out the budget, as this would include all the staffing, bar team, the security and a technician to wrangle the sound and lighting systems. If we raise enough, we will be able to bring in a nice array of foods from nearby takeaways.
With this in mind, I’ve created a few add-on options including a chance to buy different tickets (ie. if you want to gift someone an online ticket while having a weekend ticket of your own) and some t-shirt and merch options for pre-order. All pre-ordered items will be available for collection at registration. Said merch will be made available to digital guests at a later date (kickstarter is hiding them from you!)

You shouldn't trust any site that asks you to turn off an adblocker. Not even "reputable" sites like Youtube.
That's because adblockers are an important safety tool for your browser, maybe the most important thing you can do to secure your web browser.
This is because of "Malvertising", one of the most common ways for malware to spread. This is because it is very easy for criminals to pay to place malware infected ads into the big online advertising networks, such as the one Google operates. This can place their malware on otherwise reputable sites who use these networks. And it's well-established you don't even need to click on the ad to get infected, both the wiki page linked above and this Wired article talks about it.
The ad networks have mechanisms for detecting such malvertising, but like antivirus in general, they are inherently limited. The programs can't flag malware that isn't already in their databases.
All the big advertising networks have problems with malvertising, including Google ads which have been infected many times.
The only good solution for the enduser is to block ads entirely in their browser. Ads are both annoying and a dangerous malware vector, not worth it at all.
Google now trying to block adblockers on Youtube and demanding that users turn them off is even more grotesque in light of this. It's like asking you to turn your firewall.
What to do
Ublock Origin is the most reputable adblocker. It doesn't just block ads, it also blocks non-advertising
Part of this is that unlike Adblock Plus or Brave Browser's built-in adblocker, Ublock actually blocks all ads it can and doesn't fund itself by taking bribes from advertisers to show users "acceptable ads."
I linked to the Firefox Addon page for Ublock origin above, because Ublock Origin works best on Firefox, which is the opinion of the Ublock Origin developers and they explain why in technical detail on the project's github page.
So stay safe online, use Ublock Origin and use it on Firefox so it works the best it can.
For youtube specifically, you need to keep your UBO filters updated and clear your chaches, there are threads on the official UBO subreddit with instructions and explanations.

[ 📸 U.S. troops go on patrol at al-Tanf air base in eastern Syria. The Syrian government considers the United States presence in its eastern third as an illegal occupation, and wants U.S. soldiers out of the country.]
🇺🇲⚔️🇸🇾 🪖 🚨
US TO CONSIDER WITHDRAWAL FROM SYRIAN OCCUPATION
The United States is considering a withdrawal of its forces from Syria, according to an article published in Foreign Policy, an online news periodical with ties to the U.S. Defense establishment.
Citing four sources from within the U.S. departments of State and Defense, Foreign Policy claims active internal discussions are ongoing within the Biden administration on a troop withdrawal from Syria, a notoriously illegal occupation of nearly one-third of Syrian territory, which the United States has used to siphon tens of billions of dollars worth of oil out of the country.
The piece was written by senior fellow and director of the Syrian Counterterrorism and Extremism Programs at Middle East Institute, Charles Lister.
The organization itself, the Middle East Institute, is funded by a who's-who of U.S. proxy-governments, Intelligence sources, elite Universities, and giant corporations including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, ExxonMobil, George Soros's Open Societies Foundation, Morgan Stanley, and Princeton University.
The article itself presents the decision on the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria as an impending disaster, warning that the Islamic State is waiting in the wings for an opportunity to take back control over the Levant, with the title of the published article "America is planning to withdraw from Syria- and create a disaster."
Lister warns that the withdrawal should be "cause for significant concern" and that, while no decision has yet been reached by the Biden administration, the White House is "no longer invested in sustaining a mission that it perceives as unnecessary."
"Notwithstanding the catastrophic effect that a withdrawal would have on U.S. and allied influence over the unresolved and acutely volatile crisis in Syria, it would also be a gift to the Islamic State. While significantly weakened, the group is in fact primed for a resurgence in Syria, if given the space to do so," Lister summerized.
Lister claims that the United States's "unprecedented intervention" launched in 2014 by the Obama administration, alongside "80 partner nations," was "remarkably successful," without ever mentioning Iran's intervention to organize a strong resistance to the Islamic State in Iraq, nor the Russian Intervention to strengthen and reinforce Syria's military and air defenses.
Lister claims the situation in Syria is "more complex" than that of Iraq's, adding that "with approximately 900 troops on the ground, the United States is playing an instrumental role in containing and degrading a persistent Islamic State insurgency in northeastern Syria, working alongside its local partners, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)."
Again, Lister ignores the role played by the Russian military in providing air cover and tactical strikes on behalf of the Syrian military, warning that the threat from IS remains a serious cause for concern.
Lister points to a rocket attack launched against a prison maintained by U.S. proxy-forces to warn of the dangers in Syria, elaborating on the heroic defense of the so-called "Syrian Democratic Forces," comprised of a mix of jihadist groups, some with ties to al-Qaeda, that ran amok, sowing chaos and destabilizing Eastern Syria, until the Russian Intervention in September 2015, when U.S. proxy-forces were largely sequestered into the illegally U.S.-occupied territory in the eastern-most third of Syria.
Lister goes on to raise alarms over the security situation in western Syria too, where Syrian government forces, with the help of the Russian military, have since regained control of much of its territory formally under the control of jihadist groups.
"While U.S. troops and their SDF partners have managed to contain the Islamic State’s recovery in Syria’s northeast, the situation is far more concerning to the west—on the other side of the Euphrates River, where the Syrian regime is in control, at least on paper," Lister claims.
Lister, pushing for the U.S. to remain in Syria, says that "In this vast expanse of desert, the Islamic State has been engaged in a slow but methodical recovery, exploiting regime indifference and its inability to challenge a fluid desert-based insurgency."
Lister's alarmism goes on, describing the supposed regrouping of IS in various government-held regions of Syria, even going so far as to claim that the Islamic State has only been quiet in recent months due to employing a strategy of concealing its operations, never pointing to specific examples that might back those claims.
"For the past several years, the Islamic State has purposely concealed its level of operation in Syria, consistently choosing not to claim responsibility for attacks that it was conducting," the article claims, inversely suggesting the absence of activity by the extremist group is actually evidence of their malfeasance.
Lister also claims that the situation in the Gaza Strip is fueling the groups return, stating that the "war in Gaza and a spiraling regional crises are adding fuel to its fire and creating opportunities for the terror group to exploit the situation for its own advantage," without ever giving any concrete examples of how, where and in what way the group is returning, only citing research from his own shadily-funded organization's projects as evidence.
"According to the Counter Extremism Project, in 2023 alone, the Islamic State conducted at least 212 attacks in Syria’s central desert region, killing at least 502 people. As covert threats and overt attacks increase, reports are emerging with increasing frequency of desertions within regime ranks," Lister says.
Lister then claims that the United States is the only thing holding the region together even as he admits there's little the U.S. can do within territories controlled by the Syrian government.
That claim, that the U.S. is the glue holding Syria together, flies in the face of the countless warnings by both the Syrian and Russian governments that say the United States is in fact the source of instability in the region.
"While there is little that U.S. forces can do to alter Islamic State activities within the regime-controlled regions of Syria, U.S. troops are the glue holding together the only meaningful challenge to the Islamic State within a third of Syrian territory. Were that glue to disappear, a significant resurgence in Syria would be all but guaranteed, and a destabilizing spillover into Iraq a certainty."
Interestingly, Lister goes on to point to Iraq as an important player in the future of the Islamic State group, admitting that increased tensions created by the U.S. occupation in Iraq, along with the U.S support for Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, is creating a new push in the country to remove U.S. forces from Iraq by its parliament, creating a supposed opening for extremist groups in the region.
Lister puts the blame squarely on Iran for these openings, and for Iraq's growing impatience with Washington, adding that a troop withdrawal would be a bad idea, even invoking the collapse of U.S. proxy-forces in Afghanistan to warn of the dangers of a troop withdrawal from Syria.
"Ultimately, events since October have placed the U.S. deployment in northeast Syria on a fraying thread—hence recent internal consideration of a Syria withdrawal," Lister says, adding that "Given the disastrous consequences of the hurried exit from Afghanistan in 2021 and the impending U.S. election later this year, it is hard to grasp why the Biden administration would be considering a withdrawal from Syria."
Lister concludes that "no matter how such a withdrawal was conducted, it would trigger chaos and a swift surge in terror threats."
"There can be no denying the clear sense in policy circles that it is being actively considered—and that it has been accepted as an eventual inevitability," Lister claims.
Lister emphasized that anyone considering a collaborative approach with the Syrian government are making a big mistake, because "that would not only be a phenomenal boon to the Islamic State, but simply impossible on its own terms."
Lister explained that "part of the SDF may have periodic contact with Assad’s regime, but they are far from natural allies. The regime would never allow the SDF to sustain itself, and Turkey would do everything possible to kill what remained [of Washington's proxies]."
"The last time that the Islamic State surged in Syria, in 2014, it transformed international security in profoundly negative ways. Should a U.S. withdrawal precipitate a return to Islamic State chaos, we will be relegated to mere observers, unable to return to a region that we will have placed squarely under the control of a pariah regime and its Russian and Iranian allies."

Melissa Hellmann at The Guardian:
On Tuesday evening, a federal government employee was shocked to find a watchlist that included the names, photos and work history of 57 mostly Black employees from a number of healthcare agencies. Many of the people listed have worked in health equity roles. “It’s just really scary,” said the federal worker, who works in a different industry and asked to remain anonymous out of fear that she may end up on a similar list. “I think it’s a way to continue to sow that fear, that angst, in the culture at a lot of these agencies.” As someone who was placed on administrative leave in January for previously working in a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) role, she sees the watchlist as an attempt to purge government employees who wanted to “make the government work better and now that’s suddenly demonized”. The list, which was published online, has the potential to harm people’s careers, she said, jeopardize their safety and take a psychological toll on them.
DEI practices and policies ensure that people who have been marginalized, such as women, people of color, people with disabilities and veterans, are given equal opportunities. The framework dates back to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned discrimination in workplaces and segregation in public places. In recent years, DEI has come under attack by conservative activists, and Trump has signed several executive orders aimed at unraveling inclusivity in the federal government. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), the conservative watchdog group that published the healthcare watchlist on 28 January, is on a mission to target the senior civil servants in the federal government who push the “pernicious influence of the DEI ideology” in their agencies, said the organization’s president, Thomas Jones. He added that the government workers listed on the website could not provide any examples of how their lives had been threatened: “What it really is is a cowardly way to change the subject.”
The watchlist of federal employees in healthcare is the third such catalogue that the group has published in the past four months, Jones said, following one on Department of Homeland Security workers, and another on Department of Education employees. The Heritage Foundation, the organization behind Project 2025, a rightwing manifesto for overhauling the government, has funded some of AAF’s work. Jones said his group plans to continue adding more federal employees to the healthcare watchlist. AAF targeted workers focused on health equity initiatives, which deliver equal health treatment for all populations. James, a federal employee on the watchlist who is using a pseudonym due to fear of retaliation, said of the list: “What AAF does not understand is that health equity is key to ensuring that cancer patients from all backgrounds all have the best possible chance to beat this terrible disease.” Critics of the watchlist say that it is part of a longstanding trend in the US to harass and silence people with ideologies outside of the white, male-dominated status quo. In recent years, online harassment has increased along with the rise in political violence, said Rachel Carroll Rivas, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s interim director of Intelligence Project, particularly now that the lines between mainstream media and alternative social media platforms have been blurred. Ultimately, the current administration labeling anyone who supports DEI as their enemies will disproportionately harm the historically disadvantaged groups that the framework was designed to help in the first place, said Marcus Board, an associate professor of political science at Howard University.
Right-wing intimidation tactics: Heritage-linked American Accountability Foundation releases a watchlist of mostly Black federal health care workers to generate anti-DEI racist harassment.

This is an old game, but there is still so much that we don't know.
One of the first things you can unlock in Jak 2 is Big/Small head mode, and I turned it on because I wanted to see how ridiculous it was. And it WAS ridiculous. But it was also a great model to see Jak's hair because I have a PS2, and those games were designed with a very different graphics output than our modern consoles. And I noticed something.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a93564dc395534fa4a865524cba95a52/c3d9acf9e96eaf5f-d9/s540x810/f50b0fe35e56347d70874e247f8ea90241b38716.jpg)
Jak's hair is RAGGED. Not like "It's been buzzed off and grew back messy" ragged, I mean "Left alone without an ounce of care offered" ragged. Weither the unfortunate messy mop he has in 'Daxter' is due to shrinkage or matts, this is still a fairly accurate amount of growth for two straight years. (For reference, the average human grows hair at a rate of one inch per two months)
I understand, as a 3d model, his hair is one object out of convenience, but when Daxter still holds on to that mop during a spin attack and Jak's response is a visual grimace, that hair may likely have ended up being a minimum single object over his time in prison.
Other Finds:
There are signs posted EVERYWHERE, and I DO mean EVERYWHERE. Everything from traffic signs to advertisements to shop signs! And they all say and mean things! Here's a few I noted
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9aaf479a1d641e49ca0183aaeac5deaf/c3d9acf9e96eaf5f-fd/s540x810/4d586eb8f175e97be8c2950e73245f4097585adc.jpg)

There's even a few Zoomer ads, but I cannot for the life of me make out anything more than "Long life" and part of the model

Another neat thing I found, though probably not new, is that when and NPC doesn't have a mission for you, they just don't exist. This is me in the Underground Base while I had misc stuff going on, standing in Torn's spot because he's just not there! Maybe he really DOES get some fresh air once in a while!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5268b2144031d40584ac3ac688825830/c3d9acf9e96eaf5f-0f/s540x810/8966894f20d11dc9b548c35f42f5305267a8cedc.jpg)
There's a map in the Underground Base, and I don't see this map anywhere else in the game, nor does it appear to line up with anywhere in Haven
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e1cda1d02f697d487870f84c44274170/c3d9acf9e96eaf5f-77/s540x810/7b3c7213842d16101853dbd69c199832d8ae407a.jpg)
It's an aerial view, but of what? It HAS to be Haven somewhere, why else would it be there? Is this an old map of the city before the walls were built? How long have the walls been there? How long has Haven been without it's rightful king? It's a very large city, that has heavily populated areas, but given the existence of Dead Town and areas beyond, it clearly used to have a much bigger footprint. The wall clearly wasn't built with travel along it in mind, it intersects houses and security gates. There are no patrols along it. I haven't seen so much as a guard or turret tower. And yet the walls are so tall and so thick, that they contain a whole network of power transportation to keep the shield walls up. Who designed it? And why isn't it maintained better?
Of course we know the answer to the latter question: Baron Praxis.
Baron Praxis is so uncaring toward his people, this much is obvious given the state of the slums, but Riddle me this: What dystopia leaders of note have enough funding to put up a giant FLASHING NEON propaganda ad in the middle of the slums, and still refuses to believe that people in the flooded districts of their city have no trouble getting into their homes?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2318503eec8dc7ccf8b47b35d31b2e47/c3d9acf9e96eaf5f-3d/s540x810/430d60abdbba39dbfdb9e574a352f8c9976d39e8.jpg)

These people have no way to get to these buildings, no WONDER they build their homes on stilts! The Water Slums is filled with what look like communal hovels and ramshackle dwellings that are staying upright and afloat with twigs and prayers.
Speaking of Prayers: The oracle.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9b01b580c2f2547673723e1641117e06/c3d9acf9e96eaf5f-6d/s540x810/c06ab933fa3b1599febfd4d6e38c6799283b2dfa.jpg)
There's this tapestry in the Oracle in the Water slums. There's like eight of them, but they all say the same thing. I've found no translations of this anywhere online, so I got real close and personal and snapped some pics to translate. And it's...it's oddly specific, in context, but I can't explain why in the world it's worded the way it is.
Translation is as follows:
"THE NOBLE WILL BE ASSURED OF A PLACE IN HISTORY THUS BEING GRANTED A FORM OF LIFE TO BE FOREVER VENERATED BY THEIR ANCESTORS AS ONE WHO LIVED A LIFE OF GOOD"
That is such an odd wording. Why "Ancestors?" Why not "Descendants?" that would make more sense, giving that noble person a place in history. It's clearly meant to be a general statement to the people and the followers of the Precursor beliefs to live their best life and BE a good person overall, but the way this is worded feels so specific toward Jak. I can't shake the notion that this is some old prophecy or prayer given from the Oracle before it fell silent that's been woven into that tapestry and hung in that place of worship.

Jewish people in the EU continue to face high levels of antisemitism, according to the latest survey from the bloc's Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA).
More than 8,000 Jews in 13 EU countries, including Germany and France, were interviewed - with 96% saying they had encountered antisemitism in their daily life.
The vast majority had experienced harassment online.
The FRA's director, Sirpa Rautio, warned that Europe was facing a "wave of antisemitism" - driven partly by the conflict in the Middle East.
She warned that this was severely limiting the ability of Jewish people in EU countries to "live in safety and with dignity".
The survey, which looked at participants' experiences in the year before it was carried out, took place in the first half of 2023 - before the 7 October Hamas attacks and Israel's resulting military campaign in Gaza.
However, the FRA said there had been a dramatic rise in reported antisemitic attacks since the Gaza war began.
It was sparked when gunmen from Hamas and other Palestinian groups attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage on 7 October last year.
Israel's retaliatory attacks have since killed 38,295 people in Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
The FRA said its research over the years had found that antisemitism tends to increase in times of tension in the Middle East.
It added that 75% of those who took part in their latest survey felt that they were held responsible for the Israeli government’s actions because they are Jewish.
While 90% of respondents said they had encountered antisemitism on the internet, the FRA said "antisemitic harassment and violence mostly take place in streets, parks, or shops".
More than half of those surveyed expressed concern for their own safety or that of their family, while 76% said they hid their Jewish identity at least occasionally,
The organisation also collected responses from 12 Jewish organisations in January and February this year and found a dramatic increase in the number of reported antisemitic attacks across all surveyed countries. These attacks included personal harassment, intimidation and violence.
In Austria and Sweden, antisemitic incidents had increased by more than 400% in October to December last year compared to the same period in 2022.
In 2022, Denmark had reported only nine antisemitic incidents, but this increased to 121 last year.
The FRA warned that the safety concerns and the protection of Jewish people and institutions had become urgent.
It has called on governments to do more to fund the security needs of Jewish communities such as at schools and synagogues.
"We need to build on existing laws and strategies to protect communities from all forms of hate and intolerance, online as well as offline," Ms Rautio said.
The FRA also called on governments to use the EU's Digital Services Act to remove antisemitic content online, and step up efforts to prosecute antisemitic hate crimes.

What exactly is Blockchain
A Comprehensive Guide for All: What is Blockchain?
Try to picture yourself with a notebook in which you record every purchase or sale. Each time you do a transaction, you note it in the notebook. Now, what if you distributed this notebook amongst your friends and everyone had one? All of your buddies would scrutinize your entry before adding it to their notes. This way, nobody could fake an old entry, since everyone else would spot it.
Something known as blockchain is built upon this basic concept — sharing a record of transactions open for everyone to verify. Though it may sound intimidating, it is a technology gaining traction in the financial and computer sector. We will clarify it in this blog in simple words, so anybody may follow it.
What Exactly Does Blockchain Mean?
Fundamentally, blockchain is simply a unique form of digital record-keeping. Think of it as a series of blocks (hence the name “blockchain”), each block including transaction information. These blocks are related in a way that makes them quite stable and difficult to change.
Step by step, this is how it works:
A Transaction Occurs: Suppose Alice wants to give Bob $10. This is an interaction.
The transaction is registered: the information of this transaction is passed to a network of computer nodes instead of being written in one notebook.
Everyone Checks the Transaction: The computers in the network check to make sure Alice has $10 to transmit. By examining her past deals kept in earlier blocks, they do this.
The transaction is added to a block: Once everyone concurs it is legitimate, it gets formed with other transactions into a block.
The Block Is Sealed, attached: The block is assigned an individual code (known as a hash) and then included in the chain of already existing blocks. This makes a fixed, permanent record of the deal. There it is! It is like one huge, common ledger keeping track of all system events.
What Makes Blockchain Different?
Now, one might be wondering, “Why not simply use a normal database or spreadsheet?” Fantastic issue! Blockchain distinguishes itself by several distinct qualities.
It is distributed across.
Most models today have one main custodian — be it a bank, company, or government — that manages the records. The entire system can crumble if something goes wrong with that central authority — say, hacking or corruption.
Blockchain relies on many, but not one authority. It rather distributes the blame amongst several computers (nodes). Every node has a full blockchain copy, therefore no individual or group may manage it. This all but prevents evil actors from using the data.
It is transparent.
Given that each transaction is visible to all people in the network, and recorded on the blockchain, it is clear. You can observe when and where money or assets traveled from one location to another. Since no one can hide anything, this openness fosters confidence.
Consider how a nonprofit uses blockchain to monitor contributions, for instance. Donors might observe very clearly how their funds are used, therefore guaranteeing that they reach the intended beneficiaries without middlemen siphoning off funds.
Safe.
Adding a transaction to the blockchain makes it virtually irrevocable.
Therefore: Every block has its distinct code (hash), including the one from the preceding block. Trying to change a block would also require one to re-compute the hashes for every subsequent block, hardly a small job.
Since the blockchain is decentralized, hackers would have to simultaneously compromise more than half of the computers in the network to fiddle with the data. Considering how vast these networks can usually be, this is virtually impossible.
Such a level of security makes blockchain perfect for sensitive uses including medical records, banking, and voting systems
It cuts out intermediaries.
Usually, when you want to buy anything online or move funds, you go via middlemen including banks, payment processors, or even legal practitioners. These intermediaries increase both costs and time for the project.
Blockchains free you from the need for intermediaries. Transactions take place between parties on their own, therefore saving both time and financial means. Sending funds abroad the old way can take days and incur large charges, for example. Using blockchain-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, the same transaction can take minutes for a small percentage of the cost.
Examples of blockchain in the real world:
To know more about how blockchain operates in practice, let us look at some instances:
Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have the most well-known applications of blockchain. People can transfer money and accept it without a bank using these digital currencies. Each time somebody sends Bitcoin to another, the blockchain notes the transaction.
Supply Chain Management Tracking
As goods traverse the supply chain, enterprises including IBM and Walmart use blockchain to monitor them. If you buy a mango, you can scan a QR code, for instance, and find exactly where it came from, who touched it, and when it reached the store. This ensures product quality and reduces fraud.
Election processes
Some nations are trying voting systems based on blockchain. Blockchain might help to lower voter fraud and raise public faith in election results since it is open and safe.
Health information
Ways hospitals and clinics could leverage blockchain for patient records storage are under investigation. This would let doctors quickly access precise and current data while permitting patients complete control of their information.
Some popular misunderstandings surrounding blockchain
Though blockchain is growing in popularity, some questions remain about its nature and usage. Those should be cleared away:
“Blockchain Is Just for Cryptocurrencies.”
Though cryptocurrencies were the first significant application of blockchain, the technology itself has great applications beyond finance. Industries including logistics, healthcare, and government are discovering creative applications of blockchain.
Blockchain is anonymous.
Though blockchain provides privacy, it is not entirely anonymous. Since transactions are listed publicly, anyone can see them. Users’ identities are typically expressed by codes — rather than actual names — thus granting some level of pseudonymity.
“Blockchain is flawless.”
Though very secure, blockchain is not free from dangers. Thankfully, such attacks are really rare because of the complexity and size of the majority of blockchain networks — for instance, if someone gains control of more than 50% of the computing power of the network, they could theoretically manipulate the blockchain in what is known as a “51% assault.”
The Future of Blockchains
Though blockchain is still fairly new, its possibilities are vast. Improvements in general efficiency, openness, and security across the board will probably follow the more widespread acceptance of it. Some professionals think that blockchain could transform everything from our personal data management to our voting.
Still, popular usage will need time. Scalability (managing vast transaction numbers), regulation (governments determining how to deal with blockchain), and education (assisting people in understanding and embracing the technology) are obstacles to be tackled.
Wraps up.
So, at its most basic, blockchain is a decentralized, clear, and secured means of documentation. Whether it is assisting farmers in obtaining fair prices for their products, accelerating international payments, or safeguarding sensitive medical information, blockchain has the capacity to change our lives and employment fundamentally.
Next time you learn about blockchain, recall the notebook analogy: It’s a shared, tamper-proof book everyone can view but no one can edit. And who knows? Maybe someday soon, blockchain will become as common as smartphones or the internet!
Even a small tip goes a long way!
