actually, the original, real flag of the USSR looked like this, and if you remember it, you are from the original timelines before NATO started messing with history with the chronosphere
A new Mandela Effect is rising.
Since when does the Soviet flag carry a star above the hammer and sickle?
Many of us remember it clearly without one.
If you recall the flag without the star… you may be from the old Earth.
Shifted into this denser, clown-world timeline.
The memory itself is the proof.
The body knows.
The soul knows.
We are not crazy.
We are remembering.
I miss the old Earth too.
Yet we are here now to hold the Light and anchor a higher one.
Who else feels this?

From 1850 to 1950 the amount of deaths from opium, foreign interventions, civil wars, and others far exceeds Mao.
Lu Xun described it a civilizational rupture. With servility toward the strong, cruelty toward the weak, opium of the spirit, ritual cannibalism.

Guys are not interested in head games.
When a man at my work asked me out, I knew he liked the Indiana Jones films. So I sat back in my chair, looked at him, paused dramatically, and said, “You have chosen… wisely.”
We’re married with four children now.
Men these days are different. The moment you say no, they’re gone. No begging, no pleading, no chasing. This generation of men will accept your rejection so fast, you’ll start wondering if they ever wanted you in the first place.

Growing up autistic I’d see so many people breaking rules but I was a rule follower. The few times I’d break even the smallest rule I’d get in so much trouble and I genuinely never understood why it was okay for them to do it but not me? They hate us

I just realised there's a setting that does this perfectly and I've talked about it many times lol
Go watch "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"

Genuinely--what is the answer for men?
Manufacturing's gone. The trades exist, but they aren't growing. Healthcare and education are growing, but patients don't want male nurses and parents don't want male teachers. Are there any growing industries where they fit?

What the hell, man. I won't forgive Alibaba for this. One of the most beautiful things to come out of China. Whale tier outliers.
I hope whoever was ultimately responsible for creating THIS model will continue to work on image generation.

Seriously, it's 4 again.
Announcing 3 Critical vulns for hundreds of millions of IoT, Firewalls, OT, and Military devices including: Palo Alto Networks, Comcast, D-Link, HP, Canon, Honeywell, GE, Oracle, Siemens, Rockwell, Digi, Lockheed Martin, Boeing...
The vulns are with GoAhead Web Server which is a backend library used by these devices. There's a patch available from GoAhead but that doesn't mean there's a patch available for the devices yet -- that's up to the manufacturer.
- TLS traffic over DHE ciphers have a 1-byte secret, "04", meaning anyone can decrypt connections to these devices and steal login credentials and session tokens if the client negotiated with DHE ciphers like the latest TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, which is extremely likely.
- LibreSSL mTLS has been completely bypassed, meaning anyone can connect over mTLS. If you have one of these devices listening on the internet and are expecting mTLS to protect it from attackers, take it offline or patch asap.
- OpenSSL Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) are not enforced, meaning if a user device is stolen or compromised, and you revoke that mTLS cert, nothing actually happens. There are a lot of other attacks this can be used for.
These are critical because these types of devices run our world. Water systems, electricity, military, firewalls, critical infrastructure.

家人们，苹果的刀法已经进化到“反人类”的境界了！
如果你买了 256G 或 512G 的 M4 iPad Pro，我现在告诉你一个可能会让你血压飙升的真相：
你手里的平板，主板上其实焊着足足 12GB 的内存！但苹果硬生生给你锁死了 4GB，只让你用 8GB！
这可不是阴谋论，这是外媒 Tom's Hardware 和拆机大神实锤的硬件铁证！
有人扒出了 M4 iPad Pro 主板上的镁光内存颗粒编号，发现 8GB 版本的机器里，居然塞了两颗 6GB 的内存芯片！2乘6等于12，小学数学题对吧？但你在系统里永远只能看到 8GB！
很多人就不理解了：内存芯片是苹果自己花真金白银买的，既然都焊上去了，做个顺水人情给用户 12GB 不香吗？
Too young！这就是库克最恐怖的算计：
第一，市面上没有符合 M4 满血带宽的单颗 4GB 内存，去定制比直接买两颗 6GB 还要贵；
第二，也是最扎心的——如果入门版给你开放了 12GB，谁还愿意多花四五千块钱去买 1TB 的 16GB 顶配版？
宁可自己掏钱买 12G 的硬件，再亲手废掉三分之一，也绝不能让普通用户占到一点便宜！这已经不是“精准刀法”了，这是“宁可毁掉也不给你”的物理防越级！
以前我们吐槽苹果“把 8G 内存当黄金卖”，现在才知道，原来黄金早就在你机身里了，只是苹果上了把锁，钥匙扔进了太平洋。

In the early 1900s, a man couldn't afford proper dentures, so he made his own using melted down toothbrush handles and the teeth of a dead coyote. In 1946, a local dentist was so impressed with this ingenuity that he offered to make the man a professional set in exchange for the coyote dentures.

It's great to know our camera straps serve two purposes: securing cameras to trees and providing entertainment for the local delinquents…

In case it wasn't obvious enough from the sloppiness of the report, Cohere's business involves selling their third rate LLM as part of a self-hosted offering for tech illiterate boomers in government/industry who are paranoid about Chinese models.
While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected.
Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions.
Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent.
But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models?
We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem.

Understated that the Houthis are the first group or military ever to use ballistic missiles successfully as part of combined arms offensive operations

One of Xi Jinping's first acts as China's leader was to ask an audience of senior officials why the Soviet Union had collapsed.
It was January 2013, at the Central Party School, and he was speaking to the incoming class of the Central Committee. His speech wasn't published until 2019.
He found the answer in ideology. The Soviets, he said, completely negated their own history, negated Lenin, negated Stalin, and thinking was thrown into confusion. Party branches stopped doing anything, he continued, and the military slipped out of the party's control.
The result, he said, was that a party that big scattered like birds and beasts, and a country that big fell apart.
Kevin Rudd (@MrKRudd), a former prime minister of Australia who got an Oxford PhD on Xi, quotes such passages in a 2022 essay that Foreign Affairs republished last week. His argument is that although Xi may not be a Stalin, he certainly isn't a Gorbachev: the last Soviet leader, who let the party's history be openly criticized and then saw the party fall apart.
For 30 years, China watchers in the West believed that ideology died with Deng Xiaoping, who told a party meeting in 1981 to stop arguing about theory. As China got richer, the thinking went, it would loosen up.
Xi concluded the opposite. In that January speech, he said that the Mao and market eras should not be contrasted to discredit one or the other. It was a party's repudiation of its own history that caused the Soviet party to collapse, he believed.
Only two days into office, he told the Politburo that faith is like calcium in a communist's soul. Without it, you get rickets.
Then he acted on what he had learned from the Soviet collapse: a decade of purges, reasserting party control of the military, a study campaign for all party members.
So as the West waited for a Chinese Gorbachev, Xi's first lesson in power was that Gorbachev is the way a communist party dies. All that he has built since then makes sense as an attempt to avoid that fate.

BREAKING: France just offered sweeping education concessions to end weeks of student protests, and students say it’s not enough, per BBC
The government’s package:
3,000 extra substitute teachers for high-need schools and at-risk suburbs
Canceling planned teacher job cuts and adding 500 teaching jobs
Capping first-year high school classes at 28 students, starting with disadvantaged schools in 2027
Up to €4 billion ($4.5 billion) in low-interest loans to renovate schools through 2030, plus €1 billion for universities
15,000 new university places across 2027 and 2028
Raising student grants and tying them to inflation from 2027
Overhauling the Parcoursup university admissions system in 2027, then replacing it entirely in 2028
Student leaders vowed to keep protesting.

SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses
The Math Proves the Reality that Musk doesn't want you to see.
On Oct 13-14, SpaceX restricted Starshield/Starlink during a 39-missile Russian attack, cutting Ukrainian drone intercepts by 23% and stranding U.S. personnel in Kyiv. Forty-eight hours later (Oct 15), SpaceX blocked U.S.-licensed NRO, Space Force, and NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 in orbit so Russia's COSMOS 2612 weapon could intercept it (99.89%-99.98% posterior)
Our Model Demonstrates that the Russian intercept of the US/NATO ICEYE X-36 satellite (contemporaneous with the throttling of Starlink) would not have been possible, and almost certainly not been attempted, without SpaceX resources. At a material opportunity cost, Russia sprinted its COSMOS satellite to intercept ICEYE X36. Based on a previous attempt in June during which X36 maneuvered to evade COSMOS, Russia knew that this would be successful only if X36 could not maneuver. On October 15, SpaceX fixed X36 in place by issuing a collision alert for a sub-kilometer approach with its Starlink 35856 when SpaceX's own data shows that the actual distance was 4.8-5.0x as great. SpaceX issued no warning to COSMOS despite the fact that its sprint was far more threatening than the stable X36 orbit. SpaceX did not maneuver its Starlink 35856 satellite to clear the supposed collision risk. How, absent coordination with SpaceX, could Russia have known that SpaceX would take actions that (a) misrepresented the danger posed by X36, and (b) resulted in the fixing of X36 thereby enabling COSMOS's successful intercept? Thus, SpaceX was directly involved in simultaneously compromising Ukraine’s defensive and offensive capabilities. The conjunction of these two events makes innocent explanations untenable.
The Pentagon Capture & Iran Round Two Trap: Pentagon CTO Emil Michael who cashed out $7M–$35M from Musk’s inner-circle SpaceX vehicles (M8/Gigafund 0.1 and M6/Valor M33 II) and KQ Partners / xAI (selling xAIfor $5M–$25M three days before taking over CDAO/OSCand 21 days before SpaceX bought xAI, while keeping M8, M6, M9, M10 & Nomadic open) and Pete Hegseth purged rival Anthropic in two hours, surrendered combat command over US drones used to attack Iran to Starlink’s "Terms of Service," and on October 2 named Musk Co-Director of Project Meridian to design the Pentagon's "Future of Warfighting" just as America enters Iran Round Twowith depleted Patriot/THAAD magazines and Russia feeding U.S. warship/aircraft locations to Tehran.
SpaceX’s actions in Ukraine raise serious questions about its alignment with US security interests and its reliability as a cornerstone of US defense. These questions are particularly troubling given the effectively irreplaceable position SpaceX has been granted by the Hegseth/Emil Michael Pentagon.

This TREASON is beyond words.
Not only did Musk shut down Starlink to Ukraine, he enabled Russia's intercept of a Finnish satellite that was helping Ukraine.
