The fact that Iran had to spell this out says so much about how broken world politics is.
Ceasefire or not, Iran is winning the war, purely by existing and controlling such a vital waterway:

You know, most of the time I won't contact an admin, except if something is so egregious that it needs actual action.
Block evasion is 100% one of those things.
It makes the fediverse less safe.
Techhub.social is fine with block evasion.
Apparently calling someone a "cunt" - a common Australianism - warrants the evasion of the block because I "got the last word".
Be careful, the owner is toxic as hell
-
Head's up people, time for a #Fediblock on techhub.social.
The owner, https://techhub.social/@nicdex, has made it clear that block evasion just warrants a warning from that instance.
techhub.social is not a safe instance to allow into your follows, mentions, or anywhere near you. Block early
-
@nicdex dude, are you really going to defend block evasions?
If that's the case, maybe everyone should #Fediblock techhub.social, because it doesn't matter what I said, he block evaded.
"Cunt" is quite a common word here in Australia, and I'm detecting a note of racism in your response there

Why the fuck is the vinegar fly invasion happening in May?
They've been harassing me for weeks, I noticed them upstairs at Kent St last night, and I had to kill one persistent one OUTSIDE at the Gertrude Hotel tonight

I really don't get what the debate about the IHRA definition of antisemitism is here.
If it's ever wielded in a legal sense it would run immediately up against Australia's implied right of political communication; just like the PARD laws in NSW.
There is just no way to argue that criticising Israel is antisemitism in a court of law, which is why the Zionist lobby aches for every institution to adopt it

Total bullshit. It was a school. It was clearly marked a school. It was next to an IRGC medical clinic.
Neither of them are legitimate targets.
That leads to one answer: The American military is now run by Nazis. It really is Nazis all the way down in the US, but that's unsurprising when their only true ally is Israel:
-
You all get why Israel finished 2nd, right?
Israel marshals thousands of content creators, ads, etc, during Eurovision to game the voting. Quite literally Eurovision reduced personal votes from 20 to 10 because of Israel's "hasbara" (genocidal propaganda).
If you watch, support, or, as disgusting as it is, vote on Eurovision, you are an active participant in genocide. The UN charter is pretty clear on this

Every time you read about territorial waters or the like, there's always a caveat that "The US <insert thing that broke the normal rules>" or "Canada expanded their territorial waters by using <insert loophole>".
But Iran exerting control over Hormuz, which is definitely well within both Oman and Iran's territorial waters (not even contiguous zone), and it's "You can't do this you silly brown people".
International law isn't racist, but the racist pricks pretending to uphold it certainly are

Some interesting changes in Gulf military aircraft flights.
RCH callsign (Atlantic Express) flights have resumed, and MOOSE flights have basically died off.
Tankers are holding back, flying over Jordan, rather than off the coast of UAE.
It's hard to tell if the US have stopped using transponders on tankers (unlikely, due to what level, and where they fly), or they've stopped the combat flights over Hormuz

The Luddite revival is quite concerning to me.
This rewriting of history, by supposed lefties, is just fucking insane.
Luddites were not good people, not in any way. They hated the fact that lower-paid workers - people from the countryside - were moving to cities, and taking their jobs. They're fucking Reformers, One Nation, Republicans, AfD, whatever in the country you live.
Yeh, employers were shit, but they didn't want better working conditions. Nope, just to destroy the machines so poor people couldn't make cheaper fabric than them.
When you revive Luddites as some sort of heroic movement, you revive the same right wing populist shit we're dealing with right now

If QLD doesn't want to follow the Royal Commission's recommendation on gun buybacks, cut their GST until they do.
Not just a bit, a lot. And let every single Queenslander know that Crisafulli is why

In a change of pace, the latest War Thunder leaks allege that Gaijin's anti-cheat system was exfiltrating files from user's computers and recording unrelated PII.
On top of that, the leakers allege that Gaijin are using classified documents on the Eurofighter Typhoon to balance the vehicle in-game

Oh, fuck, this is way bigger than I thought.
After looking into it, it seems to be a maintenance problem with fouling around the drop-safety mechanism in the Glock 23.
15,000 weapons? That's systemic. Glocks have a lot problems, but this isn't one; the main for the Glock 23 seems to be stove-pipe ejections due to the gun being designed for 9mm, but being made to work with .40:

I am way too addicted to Kingdom Come Deliverance II. Third playthrough, ultra-evil. Just steal, kill, whatever. I don't care, you get in my way, you feel my steel.
It's rather easy, apart from when you forget you're wanted in a town and just fast-travel through it 😆

For reference:
No trans people were assaulted by cops at any of the Midsumma events down here in Melbourne. Not the Carnival, not at the Pride March, not at the Pride Party.
Not a single one.
Because we don't exclude trans, bi, intersex, asexual, etc, people from our queer events
-
Yeh, honestly, fuck Sydney's Bootlicker Mardi Gras.
This is exactly how they want Mardi Gras: no trans, no bi, no intersex, no asexual, etc, just gay and lesbians.
They allowed cops to march as they were assaulting a trans woman

The Guardian used the right photo I think

I'm tempted to write an article as to why I'm utterly hostile to Americans right now.
It's obviously #NotAllAmericans, but to me, watching a whole nation reject allies whose citizens have lain down their lives for wars that were of no consequence to us, is not hurtful, it's a betrayal.
It's easy to say it's not a "whole nation", but, seriously, so many didn't vote that the apathy speaks louder than anything
