This time it'll be a little longer than normal.
We'll see how well things go. After all, it does apparently keep me employed.

As touched on before, to Zionists 'ceasefire' just means everyone ELSE stops fighting.

Inducing poverty and starvation is the worst form of terrorism, because it acts so slowly and day-by-day.
Those Zionists committing these crimes know this.
But this is no surprise to most black and brown people of world.
Before countries like India can truly move forward, they need to make their air breathable.
I mean seriously - AQI-400?

Delhi chokes as pollution rises to severe levels
Delhi is officially recording AQI levels higher than 400, but many suspect that the real levels are much higher. According to the WHO, an AQI level above 50 is unhealthy to live in.
In India an AQI between 200 and 300 is considered “poor”, between 300 and 400 is “very poor”, and beyond 400 is “severe” for health.
For the World Health Organization (WHO), any AQI level above 50 is considered unhealthy.
The AQI remained above 400 on Wednesday as well and has been recording above 200 daily since mid-October.
Unofficial sources claim AQI levels in Delhi are even higher, with allegations emerging that the government is trying to manipulate and suppress the actual figures to avoid accountability.

America, a Banana Republic?
Gee, ya think?

To me, it's simply the next step in the collapse of US Crapitalism. Nothing more.

Boycott establishment media.
https://mondoweiss.net/2025/11/why-writers-must-boycott-the-new-york-times/
No, the New York Times isn't enough. It's all establishment media that must be cut off from attention and support.
That's the only tool the establishment has left - propaganda. Once that's gone, it's down the shitter for them.
The beginning of yet another fun week at work.
I feel like every time I arrive there (we're supposed to be there more than few times a week, and we're tracked for attendance, like school kids), I have a target on my back and every person is after me for things that aren't done.
Never mind the fact that all of this is part of a an effort that's supposed to launch in the not-too-distant future, 'or else'.
Yeah - as if I don't have enough problems - I'm also working next week Saturday (my day job),
Hooray.
It does make me wonder how much longer I can last in this business.

How did I miss this?

The US's 5 options for Attacking Venezuela.
Which one will they choose? Here's what Vijay Prashad suggests.
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/11/07/vijay-prashad-5-options-for-attacking-venezuela/
Scenario 1: The Brother Sam Option
Scenario 2: The Panama Option
Scenario 3: The Iraq Option
Scenario 4: The Gulf of Tonkin Option
Scenario 5: The Qasem Soleimani Option
Not sure about that last one, as Iran's government is still here, and has been since 1979.

Dick Cheney is dead.
May his legacy be that capitalism is a fundamentally broken sysyem; in that the victims of his actions - on behalf of his donors - never received justice while he was alive. And that system made all this possible.
Remember that.

Imagine if we tried this here in the US.
Of course to do that, we'd have to replace crapitalism with a system the prioritizes the needs of all, over the greed of a few.

I generally dislike the term 'martyr'.
Mainly because anything they've experienced makes it about the person and the need to eulogize and hero-ize, and lion-ize them in ways that are often distorted and false.
This aside, this looks like an interesting book.

'Code Into Carnage'
Or Software Developers for Genocide!
https://www.mintpressnews.com/microsoft-israel-surveillance-azure-idf-gaza-genocide/290534/
Pretty fucked up
In the months following October 7, the IDF’s usage of Microsoft’s Azure cloud service surged more than 200-fold. The amount of data from surveillance cameras, drones, checkpoints, biometric scanners, phone calls, and intercepted Palestinian personal data stored by the IDF on Microsoft servers doubled in the next nine months, reaching 13.6 petabytes by July 2024 – equivalent to 23,000 years of audio, or seven trillion pages of text.
The point of all this was to create an enormous digital dragnet, where Palestinians’ every move, word, and keystroke was recorded in monitored in the greatest and most dystopian digital dragnet ever created. In the words of Yossi Sariel, the head of Unit 8200, the IDF’s surveillance division, the plan was to “track everyone, all of the time.”
Sariel argued that big data was the solution to Israel’s problems, envisaging a future where Israel intercepted and stored “a million calls an hour” from Palestine, and used A.I. to search for keywords and identify threats.
There was no way, however, that Israel could do this alone, as it did not possess the expertise or anything like the storage capacity needed for such a project. To this end, Sariel travelled to Seattle in 2021 to meet with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, to pitch him on the surveillance partnership whereby Microsoft would build Unit 8200 a customized and segregated area within its Azure platform.
The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to transcribe, translate, and otherwise process intelligence garnered via mass surveillance, which is then linked to Israel’s A.I.-based weapons systems.
