This is not unprecedented. Every year, a Hanukkah menorah is lit at the White House. The symbolism is powerful precisely because it is mundane: Jewish light belongs at the heart of the civic space, not as an exception, not as an act of charity, but as a matter of course. That model should now be replicated widely. Israeli diplomatic missions, together with local Jewish organizations, should work actively with municipalities and governments to make these public lightings happen – not merely as acts of Jewish resilience, but as declarations of democratic commitment. Because this is not only a Jewish question. A society in which Jews feel compelled to hide their symbols is a society already retreating from its own values. Antisemitism is never a stand-alone phenomenon; it is the canary in the democratic coal mine. Where Jews are unsafe, pluralism is already fraying.

Jewish communities and organizations must orchestrate public Hanukkah candle lightings in the central squares of democratic cities across Europe, across the English-speaking world, wherever Jews live under the protection of free societies. Not hidden ceremonies. Not fenced-off gatherings on the margins. But civic events, hosted openly and proudly, with the participation of local and national leaders – and of fellow non-Jewish citizens.

If you did attempt to install the game from the compromised print run, here is what we know about the attack: We believe the malicious code to be the Floxif virus. As far as we can tell, only the Windows installers appear to have been compromised. We recommend running a full system scan with Windows Defender or 3rd party anti-virus software like Malwarebytes if you think your system may have been exposed.

@campuscodi.risky.biz Another supply chain attack with infected USB drives of a physical copy of a game: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-12...
The company approximates that it has sold 64-67 copies of the affected game. Affected players can contact the company's customer support through email. It has noted that players can identify if their game is affected by the malware as compromised copies have an installer that is 268.42MB in size. Uncompromised copies have an installer that is 267.69MB in size. Only Windows installers have been compromised. The company recommends a full system scan with Windows Defender or anti-virus software.

Why you should block them: insulting Kat by comparing her to a child just because she is wearing braids.

(This poster must be very very old to have this perspective).
Their post says: "Why are you trying to look like a child with the braids? You don't look like a respectable adult. Sorry, but to win over moderates, you need to look like a competent person."

Now it's showing it on MSNBC.
LA protests with tear gas in the distance. People are spread out. The Chyron says "Police move protesters in Los Angeles". The time says that it's 4:49 pm. There is a box showing the tip line for the Minnesota assassin Vance Luther Boelter.

404 Media cited as a source on Jen Psaki's show on MSNBC just a couple of minutes ago.
404 Media's article is cited on screen as the source for the fact that predator drones were surveilling the LA protests. Jen Psaki is on the side hosting the show.

They appear to have a perfect relationship.
Two beautiful masked people with interlaced fingers, one with their arm wrapped over the other, their other arms raised up to a helicopter that's squawking at them and giving it the middle finger.

So, with the Global Privacy Control signal being sent for a while from my browser I have now encountered two separate websites that are designed to automatically honor this signal.

NVidia does so when you log in (it automatically changes your privacy settings to opt-out) and now Pew.
The cookie banner on Pew Resarch Center's website notifying me that my Global Privacy Control signal is being honored without my intervention.

All of his replies are just him going around defending Trump. He's replying to you but I think the OP blocked him whiched detached this conversation for everyone else.

I'm reading the discussion in the comments section of the article and this comment stands out.
Comment written by fragilities 12 hours ago: It's striking how deeply capitalist ideology has sunk in that "the workplace" is supposed to be this sacred place where you should check your humanity and conscience at the door because the only God that is worshipped there is the labour that the employer has purchased. The Holy Purchase is all that matters.

What does this mean? Is this just a strange marketing campaign for shirts and zines?
An ad for shirts maybe? Text as follows: TREASON "a bon chat, bon rat" shirt 1: "'In 2000 years, they'll still be looking for Elvis. This is nothing new,' said the priest." shirt 2: "'CONFORMITY is SUBVERSIVE,' she whispered, and we melted into the crowd unnoticed." don't be a nebbish...join the crusade specify size - tender $16 to TREASON - box 3871, minneapolis, mn 55403 call for propaganda - 612.333.1295 - "we're losing our shirts, again"

I suggest changing your moderation settings to mute posts that mention Matthew Yglesias.
The setting for muting by text & tags set to permanently mute all mentions of "Matthew Yglesias" forever (except for from users that I follow).

The banner image for "Dear Uncle Adolf: The Germans and their Führer" It features the title, then a picture of one of the archival letters superimposed over a crowd doing the Nazi salute while Hitler looks pleased. His swastika armband is the only thing in color.

The drills are changed every year to keep everyone on their toes. About 60 schools gave teachers buckets, kitty litter and a shower curtain for a makeshift bathroom after an incident at Lakewood’s Alameda High, where a long drill left students relieving themselves in trash cans. Classrooms are stocked with lollipops in case a diabetic student needs fast-acting sugar.

I just watched this 1984 documentary about American fighters in the Lincoln Brigade called The Good Fight. www.kanopy.com/en/product/g...
The Good Fight: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. The movie banner features old photographs of members of the Lincoln Brigade. Two men are smoking pipes, a smiling woman is posing for a picture in her ambulance, and a bearded man looks somberly at the camera.

Why you should block them: refer to screenshot.

(From the same article I excerpted above although the full thing is great with caveats).
When to use disappearing messages Disappearing messages are an ideal tool for people who are concerned their chats could be checked – especially if there is anything about themselves they want to keep private, says Scott Sammons, information and data specialist Lighthouse IG. “This could apply to a domestic abuse setting or someone, for example, hiding the fact they are LGBTQ.”

It's not a controversial perspective that disappearing messages are good. Even cybersecurity professionals who try to protect children from predators promote their use. Here is an example, but you can find more from people who are more articulate than all of us are. web.archive.org/web/20250114...
“Even if data is encrypted and protected by a code, keeping messaging information available on your smartphone poses far more of a threat than not having it anywhere at all,” says Jake Moore, cybersecurity specialist at ESET. “Disappearing messages add a layer of security and assurance that the data is safe, because it no longer exists.”

signal.org/blog/a-synch... Do you mean like this?

Otherwise there is already backup feature that you can set in your Signal app's settings.

support.signal.org/hc/en-us/art...
Signal’s upcoming beta releases will also introduce the option to transfer your messages and media when you link your primary Signal device to a new Desktop or iPad. Instead of starting fresh, and having only new messages show up, you can choose to bring your chats and your last 45 days of media with you. Or, you can choose not to. Just like everything else in Signal, the process of transferring your messages to a new linked device is end-to-end encrypted and private. We designed this feature to be intuitive, fast, and simple — and you can help us start testing it soon before it begins rolling out to production over the next several weeks.
