Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Around the same time, Cloudflare’s chief technology officer Dane Knecht explained that a latent bug was responsible in an apologetic X post.

“In short, a latent bug in a service underpinning our bot mitigation capability started to crash after a routine configuration change we made. That cascaded into a broad degradation to our network and other services. This was not an attack,” Knecht wrote, referring to a bug that went undetected in testing and has not caused a failure.

Singapore and China must deepen cooperation and strengthen trusted leadership to navigate a period of profound global shifts, ministers from Singapore said on Nov 18.

Singapore and China have historically benefited from adaptability and fewer legacy constraints, Mr Chan said, but they must now do more to strengthen research and development, align standards, guide policies and cultivate talent so that innovation remains resilient.

“We can also jointly work together to develop guard rails to ensure that new technologies, like AI, truly serve and complement human endeavours while reassuring our people that everyone can keep pace with and benefit from this development,” said Mr Chan.

I sometimes question if my memories are even real... or if I'm missing any.

Like I feel like there are hidden traumas that got wiped by someone, like... trauma that's even worse than those that I currently remember, or I wonder if the happy memories are perhaps implanted by someone to try to cover up trauma.

I often wonder if I really am me, what if this is all fabricated, what if my name isn't actually ■■■ and I wasn't actually born in ■■■■.

Do y'all even trust your current memories? Do you trust that you are who your memories say you are?

P.S. Oh btw, in the past year, I learned about ECT, electro-convulsive therapy that's used in some cases of severe depression, and one of the side effects is that it apparantly randonly deletes some of your memories... so its partially already here... terrifying...

Diaclaimer: article from last month.

What’s the laptop right now with the best “Quality × Performance / Price” ratio? I want to make sure every dollar I spend is worth it.

• My budget is around $2,000 ± $500.
• I’m fine upgrading the hardware myself
• don’t need Windows preinstalled if that saves me money
• at least 32GB of RAM.
• Size: any
• Screen: any

Basically, I'm looking for a high-performance, high-quality gaming laptop that worth its money.

Thank you for your suggestions!

After the election of Mamdani & Hashmi, two of the 5 Muslim mayors, 4 Muslim state legislators, and 2 Muslim judges elected in 2025; the Christian Nationalists are on a war path.

And I mean an actual war path.

Jake Lang, a J6er and racist, launched a massive rally in Dearborn, Michigan, at 3pm EST Tuesday. He burned the Quran, smacked it with bacon, he even said the Muslims were “chimping out” and that he didn’t have bananas. He also was caught telling Muslims they’re not American because they “don’t look it.” | Source | Source 2

The same day, earlier, Greg Abbott, designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organization. CAIR is a lawyer group fighting for the civil rights of Muslims in America. It’s only a matter of time before this legislation is copied by other states. | Source

This is a full on assault on Muslim & Arab communities!

The Left must unify and fight with the Muslims, and further end the influence of foreign reaction like that of Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism. We must protect the Muslims and continue the influence of Islamic Socialism. Only with an alliance of the Left & Islam will this reactionary assault end.

The U.S. deported 50 people to Ukraine this week, a Ukrainian border official said on Tuesday, in what appears to be the single largest such deportation from the U.S. since the country has been at war with Russia.

The flight landed near the Polish border in the early hours on Monday. Since Russia's invasion in 2022, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported 105 Ukrainians in total, with 13 in the last quarter of 2024, according to the latest data available in ICE's publicly available tracker.

The Trump administration originally wanted to send 80 people on the flight, according to Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's ambassador to the United States. That original list also included at least one person that Ukraine had previously been unable to claim as a citizen of the country.

Brazilian authorities on Tuesday railed against comments by Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz in which he appeared to look down on Belem, a city on the edge of the Amazon rainforest where the United Nations’ Climate Summit is taking place.

“We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Last week I asked some journalists who were with me in Brazil: Which of you would like to stay here? No one raised their hand,” Merz said. “They were all happy that, above all, we returned from this place to Germany in the night from Friday to Saturday.”

New research commissioned by WWF EU reveals that EU consumption of soy, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, industrial roundwood, cattle meat and products, and rubber led to the clearing of 149 million trees worldwide between 2021 and 2023.

Specifically, chocolate consumption is linked to the loss of more than 10 million trees each year, while beef and leather contribute to another 10 million.

A coalition of Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds urged servicemembers and those in the intelligence community to defy any illegal orders.

The video, which is edited to show multiple lawmakers reading one statement, comes as President Trump has carried out deadly boat strikes in the Caribbean, near Venezuela.

“We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now, Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us. You all swore an oath to protect and defend this constitution,” the lawmakers said in the video.

“Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear,” they added. “You can refuse illegal orders…you must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.”

The video features Sens. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) and Mark Kelly (Ariz.), and Reps. Jason Crow (Colo.), Chissy Houlahan (Pa.), Chris Deluzio (Penn.) and Maggie Goodlander (N.H.).

Since the boat strikes began in September, lawmakers have pressed the Trump administration on whether servicemembers involved could be held legally responsible for deaths that may be found unlawful. The military strikes have killed at least 83 people, and while the Trump administration has accused the boats of ferrying drugs, they have blown them up in deadly strikes rather than the typical practice of interdicting the boats.

DOJ claimed in an internal opinion that servicemembers cannot be held liable for the strikes.

But Senate Judiciary Democrats, in an October letter, argued that the strikes put servicemembers in a difficult position, as they are being asked to make illegal kills.

The United States Code of Military Justice “prohibits the premeditated and unlawful killing of a human being,” they wrote in a letter, but that it also requires obeying orders, “putting our service members in the impossible position of risking criminal prosecution for carrying out an unlawful order to kill civilians or risking prosecution for disobeying superior orders.”

That's the entire article.

Formatting emphasis mine.

Here is the video released by Democrats:

It has now been four days without any donations. I am a mother from Gaza, and I am pleading with you from my heart to help me protect my children from the freezing cold. We have no winter clothes, no warm place to keep them safe, and not enough food to feed them.

Every day becomes harder, and every night the cold becomes more painful for my little ones. I am doing everything I can, but I cannot do this alone. Please — any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference for my children’s warmth, safety, and survival.

Your kindness can help us buy winter clothing, secure a place that protects us from the harsh cold, and provide food for my children. https://gofund.me/f6e9cc9d I beg you… please help us. Any support means the world to us. 💔🙏
