Because he knows he only got elected by parroting a right wing version of populist politics popularized by Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. He can win against the establishment candidates, but fails against progressives head to head and he knows it.

Medical tourism to Spain is hilarious to me as a Spaniard because getting an appointment with a specialist here is fucked up as shit. Waiting times to be seen by a specialist are often 6+ months, except for urgency procedures (and many times even then). ::: spoiler CW: fucked up medical shit and cancer There has been a recent medical scandal where over 2000 women weren’t given the results of their mammograms, many of them with cancer, due to gross underfunding with a sprinkle of negligence and misogyny. I wonder how many fucking people have to die before people realize that this kind of shit is not tolerable ::: Don’t get me wrong, by all means come to Spain to get treatment if that’s an option for you, the fault in our system is not medical tourism but intentional lack of funding. Private healthcare is skyrocketing here, as was the goal all along. I fucking hate it.

That’s the other part that’s a bit problematic. There is some async support, but ORM calls, to my knowledge, are still blocking. There has been some effort put into it, but I’m not sure they’ll manage to reimplement it. Other parts of the framework and third party middlewares are blocking too, which makes writing async Django a bit of a minefield. There needs to be a non negligible amount of work to make sure a given request remains asynchronous across all layers today.

Four migrant workers – Ullah Ismat Qiemi, Safi Iayjad, Amin Fazal Khogjani, and Waseem Khan – were burned alive in a car for demanding the regularization of their work at the beginning of June in Amendolara, Italy. “They were farmhands working in our fruit and vegetable harvests, exploited like slaves,” the Calabria chapter of left party Potere al Popolo stated. “When they found the courage to rebel and demand a proper contract, they were punished in a horrific manner: the gangmasters trapped them inside a car at a rest stop near Cosenza and set it on fire.” The event was caught on camera and expanded upon by Mohammad Taj Alamyar, a fifth worker who survived the attack. In his testimony, he described the coercive conditions in which he and his comrades were forced to live, including unstable housing, delayed payments, and the absence of working contracts. According to the trade union confederation CGIL, up to 12,000 farm workers in the region of Calabria alone might be exposed to similar treatment – which allows large companies to save on labor costs and increase profits. Read more: Outrage in Ireland after Congolese man Yves Sakila killed as guards kneel on his neck The five workers operated under the caporalato system, an illegal form of labor organization where intermediaries (caporali) hire temporary laborers on behalf of employers, often gaining control over all aspects of their lives. These gangmasters can deduct rent and transportation costs from the workers’ already low daily wage, keeping them in a constant state of need, CGIL warned. Potere al Popolo’s Giuliano Granato emphasizes the model is present not only in agriculture, where it is perhaps most notorious, but also in sectors like construction and textile production, spanning across the whole country. While the workforce used to comprise Italian workers, it now consists largely of migrants from countries including India, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. While technically workers arrive in Italy legally, Granato told BreakThrough News, they are exploited from their very first moments there. “To reach Italy in the first place, workers and their families are forced to take on debts. When they arrive here, they have to pay off these debts – only to often discover that the companies they were told about may not even exist or do not want to employ them, and they end up in a slavery-like situation.” The caporalato system is illegal in Italy, but trade unions warn that the implementation of legislation remains lacking. And when cases of extreme violence turn public attention to specific workers exploited under this model, rarely does the discussion address responsibility beyond the gangmaster level. Potere al Popolo insists it is crucial to move beyond this as the investigation of Qiemi, Iayjad, Khogjani, and Khan’s murder unfolds. “The two men who murdered the four farmhands were gangmasters who profited at the expense of these workers, but they were the second-to-last link in the chain,” Granato says. “Who is above them? Which companies did they work for? Which farms did they harvest strawberries on? We need to go all the way up the chain.” Read more: Thousands protest against war and cost of living crisis in Italy The response to the murder has also unmasked institutional duplicity, Granato points out. “I’m comparing the institutional reaction to the one we observed in Modena, when a 31-year-old man, an Italian citizen born to a Moroccan family, drove his car into a crowd, sending several people to the hospital. Both Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella rushed to the city.” “In the case of Amendolara, no one went. These four murdered farmworkers clearly do not deserve institutional outrage.” The popular response differed from the institutional one, although anti-migrant narratives and the short time allocated to organizing a local demonstration on June 6 likely impacted participation. However, in the general population “there was a great deal of outrage over this murder, over this barbarity – because not only were four people killed, but they were killed in a barbaric manner, burned alive and locked up,” Granato says. In the aftermath of the workers’ murder, Potere al Popolo and other progressive organizations are demanding a comprehensive response to the system enabling this type of crime. “Calabria cannot continue to be plagued by these atrocities as if they were natural, inevitable occurrences unrelated to politics,” Potere al Popolo Calabria wrote ahead of the protest. “They are not. They have a name: caporalato, institutional racism, class exploitation.” Ana Vračar , June 12, 2026 From BT News via This RSS Feed.

Football governing body Fifa has removed Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan from the 2026 World Cup officiating roster after American authorities denied him entry into the country, ending what would have been the first World Cup finals appearance by a Somali match official. Artan, the Confederation of African Football’s men’s referee of the year in 2025, was barred from entering the US at Miami International Airport and is currently in Turkey. US immigration authorities have not publicly provided a reason for the decision. In a statement, Fifa said Artan would be unable to participate in the tournament after discussions with US authorities.

Officials in several cities joined advocacy groups in celebrating a federal court ruling Friday that blocked the Trump administration’s rule which, they argued in a lawsuit, illegally imposed new fees and created barriers “that would make it harder—and in some cases impossible—for people to get and keep affordable health insurance.” The cities of Columbus, Ohio; Baltimore; and Chicago were among the plaintiffs in a case filed last week in the US District Court of Maryland against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and other Trump officials, arguing that the so-called “Marketplace Integrity and Affordability” rule would destabilize the insurance market and penalize vulnerable families, “rather than promoting affordability.” The rule was introduced in May, months after Affordable Care Act subsidies that had made ACA insurance premiums more affordable for millions of people were allowed to expire by Republicans in Congress. More than 1 million fewer Americans signed up for coverage in ACA exchanges after the tax credits expired, and the Trump administration claimed that the new rule’s provision of more “catastrophic” insurance plans would give more “choice” to people who couldn’t afford plans that cover more healthcare needs. The rule also required additional verification for low-income households before they enroll in ACA plans, with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz claiming the new requirement “strengthens eligibility checks, cracks down on abuse, and gives insurers more flexibility to offer affordable, consumer-focused coverage options.” “Cloaked in the pretense of government efficiency and fraud prevention, the 2026 rule creates numerous barriers to affordable insurance coverage." The verification requirements and new fees could cause as many as 2 million people to drop their coverage, said Democracy Forward, which represented the plaintiffs, as well as raising annual costs by about $700 for families. “Cloaked in the pretense of government efficiency and fraud prevention, the 2026 rule creates numerous barriers to affordable insurance coverage, negating the ACA’s goal of extending affordable health coverage to all Americans, and instead increasing the population of underinsured and uninsured Americans,” the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit. In the ruling on Friday, US District Judge Brendan Hurson vacated several provisions of the rule, including ones that revoked guaranteed insurance coverage for people with past-due premiums; required eligibility verification for the special ACA enrollment period; and imposed a $5 premium penalty on people who automatically reenrolled in their plans. Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said the rule’s provisions were among “the Trump-Vance administration’s illegal attempts to undermine the Affordable Care Act.” “This ruling is a significant win for millions of Americans, including thousands in Ohio, who would have been denied coverage or seen their out-of-pocket costs skyrocket due to this president and his administration," said Klein. "We will continue to fight to protect healthcare coverage for all Americans whenever it’s threatened.” Richard Trent, executive director of Main Street Alliance, a small business advocacy group that also joined the lawsuit, said that “the Trump-Vance administration’s unlawful attempt to undermine the Affordable Care Act would have increased costs, created unnecessary barriers to coverage, and made it harder for entrepreneurs and workers to get the care they need.” “Small business owners cannot grow their businesses when healthcare becomes more expensive and less accessible,” said Trent. “We are grateful that the court has protected these critical safeguards and reaffirmed that affordable healthcare remains essential to a strong economy and thriving Main Streets across the country.” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott also applauded the ruling, but emphasized that healthcare advocates’ “work is not over.” As Common Dreams reported Friday, tied up in the Trump administration’s push for more Americans to use high-deductible catastrophic insurance—which is likely to present families with high out-of-pocket costs—is a plan to push households into more medical debt by allowing them to take out loans directly from their health insurance companies. “We will continue to fight back against any attempts by this administration to slash protections under the ACA," said Scott, "and will not stop fighting until every person in this nation has access to the affordable, quality healthcare they deserve.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Did a bit of rewiring to remove a bypass to an old light socket with exposed live pre-romex wiring. Probably left a few of my own no-nos for future home owners. Forgot to take pictures of the old wiring, but maybe thats for the best, it had been running a freezer for many years. You could just touch it at any time and zap yourself.

You’re right: when traffic is at its critical density, that’s often what triggers the shift from the free-flow regime to the congested regime. But just because you make computers drive the cars – even assuming they did it perfectly without randomly braking, which they don’t – that doesn’t mean it eliminates that flipping between regimes. At best, it might get you a little bit more capacity before hitting that critical threshold, but eventually it’s still going to, and then something – a squirrel darting into the road, a sunbeam glinting off something the wrong way and momentarily confusing the AI, a bump that disturbs the car just enough to make it slow down a fraction of a MPH, etc. – is going to trigger that shift to the congested regime anyway.

Naglunsad ng protesta ang mga magsasaka sa isla ng Panay noong Hunyo 10, sa ika-38 anibersaryo ng bogus na Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). Inilunsad ang pagkilos sa harap ng Jaro Cathedral, Iloilo City sa pangunguna ng Paghugpong sang Mangunguma sa Panay kag Guimaras (Pamanggas), panrehiyong balangay ng Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas. Nagbitbit ng kandila sa pagkilos ang mga magsasaka at nanawagang “Depensahan ang Duta, kag Pangapinan ang Tawhanon nga Kinamatarong sang mga Mangunguma!” (Ipagtanggol ang lupa, at protektahan ang karapatan ng mga magsasaka!). Ibinahagi ng mga magbubukid ang tunay na kalagayan ng mga magsasaka sa Panay at inilantad ang kainutilan ng CARP. Anila, sa halip na matulungan sila ng programa ay lalo pa silang nalubog sa kahirapan dahil sa mahal na amortisasyon at kulang na suporta para sa lokal na produksyon. Sa gayon, batid nilang ang CARP ay nagbigay-daan lamang para mapunta sa kamay ng mayayamang asyendero, panginoong maylupa, at debeloper ang lupang pilit na binenta ng maliliit na magsasaka. “Lumilipas ang mga rehimen ngunit nananatili pa rin ngayon ang tanikala ng pyudalismo,” ayon sa Pamanggas. Sa kasalukuyan, dumagdag pa sa bogus na CARP ang SPLIT o Support to Parcelization of Lands for Individual Titling at iba pang programa ng rehimeng Marcos na nagpapahirap sa mga magsasaka. Maliban sa mga patakarang ito, nagdurusa rin ang mga masasaka sa militarisasyon na nangyayari sa kanayunan. Ayon sa Pamanggas, nasasapeligro ang buhay ng mga magsasaka sa paniniktik, gawa-gawang kaso, pagtatanim ng ebidensya, pambobomba, at iba pang kaso ng palabag sa karapatang-tao na isinasagawa ng militar. “Ngunit, kung kailan pinakasidhi ang kontradiksyon sa pagitan ng mga magsasaka at reaskyunaryong estado, ay ang panahon din kung kailan lumalakas ang kontra-pyudal at kontra-militarisasyon na kampanyang masa,” ayon sa Pamanggas. Isa sa mga pagsisikap ng kilusang magsasaka sa isla ng Panay at Guimaras ay ang pagtatanggol nila sa tagapangulo ng Pamanggas na si Lucia Capaducio na hinaharas at nire-Red-tag ng militar. Kasabay ng protesta, upisyal na inilunsad ng mga magsasaka ang kampanyang “Hands Off Lucia Capaducio”. Ang pagkilos ng Pamanggas ay kasabay ng protesta sa Quezon City ng daan-daang magbubukid sa pangunguna ng KMP.

There is close to 0% chance that Israel is going to abide by whatever Trump says they will. They’re closing in on their goal of a Greater Israel–the public will metaphorically have Netanyahu’s head if he stops now. And he doesn’t want to stop to begin with.

but not realistic Yeah, I don’t know if I’d get it myself with where RAM and NVMe prices are presently. But that sort of thing is presently about the cheapest way to get a ton of memory connected to a GPU. And I’m definitely too impatient to wait until 2028, especially since it isn’t a guarantee… Yeah, I know. And prices aren’t likely gonna promptly crash to the money-losing 2024/2025 rates, either, since there’s pent-up demand. But, just saying that my guess is that there’s going to be substantial near-term depreciation on any AI hardware purchased right now. Thanks for your input though :) appreciate it. Sure. I hope you do enjoy it if you get it (and it’s certainly been more-than fine for gaming, in my experience).
