Turns out the funni timeline is not funny at all and actually is pretty terrible. I don't know many things, I am a mediocre nobody who sucks at pretty much everything and will be forgotten as soon as I die. However, I am sure of one thing. Communism will win. It is inevitable. From this complete disaster, the Red Star will rise.

Israeli strikes on south Lebanon kill two journalists, several civilians

They were Al-Mayadeen journalists, a pro-Hezbullah satellite news channel.

Damn at my work 1/4 of the employee were laid off. On Friday at 12 am. Thanks for giving them a great weekend to reflect how loved they are by their employer. Fuck corprate brainded CEOs.

Roger Waters got a very warm reception to what looks like a sold out stadium in Agentina with much cheer to "if you're one of those 'I like Pink Floyd, but I hate Roger's politics' types then you can fuck off to the bar."

So there may be hope left against that supervillian.

some time ago I made a joke about the F-35 being AAA game development applied to military equipment, and, uh... they're apparently releasing the F-35 in Early Access:

Upgraded F-35s fly with partial software as DOD hunts for delivery fix (archived)

WASHINGTON — The first production F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with an early, incomplete version of the software powering a key upgrade was flown last week at Lockheed Martin’s Fort Worth, Texas, facility, the company told Defense News.

The Pentagon’s F-35 Joint Program Office is considering whether a strategy of loading interim versions of the Technology Refresh 3 software into the latest F-35s might provide a way to end a months-long delivery halt, and allow the government to start accepting the latest versions of the fighter. Technology Refresh 3, or TR-3, is the name for a batch of hardware and software upgrades to the newest F-35s ... TR-3 has been stymied by software problems and difficulties integrating it with the new hardware, and its schedule has slipped significantly. It was originally expected to arrive in April but has now slipped until well into 2024, perhaps as late as next June.

When asked if this might entail using an interim or early release version of the software, the JPO said “potentially,” and that the software could be updated down the line to complete the TR-3 capabilities. “The JPO and Lockheed Martin are working with the U.S. services and international customers on potential options to deliver operationally acceptable aircraft that would most likely require future software drops for a subset of capabilities to meet all requirements,” the JPO said.

must inspire a lot of confidence to fly a plane described as "operationally acceptable"

The Bundeswehr only has around 50,000 assault rifles… not even every second soldier in the army would have a rifle.

When your comrade gets shot, you pick up his rifle.

Germany should stop talking shit about Palestine because Hezbollah could probably take them out.

Argentina’s Javier Milei backs away from dollarisation as central bank pick rejects role

the man named to lead Argentina’s central bank by libertarian president-elect Javier Milei has turned down the job over policy differences, amid signs that the South American nation’s maverick next leader is backing away from his flagship policy of dollarising the sickly economy.

Emilio Ocampo, an economic history professor and former investment banker, was the leading advocate within Milei’s team of dumping the Argentine peso in favour of the US dollar. The author of a recent paper advocating dollarisation, he had been working on a blueprint to implement the plan after the new government takes office on December 10.

But a person close to Ocampo confirmed on Thursday night local news reports that he would no longer accept the post.

“The only reason for Ocampo to be at the [central bank] was to dollarise,” the person said. “He was never going to the central bank to implement someone else’s plan, which he doesn’t agree with.

looks like the national capitalists (probably led by macri) forced him to drop his idea for dollarization, they will probably also block his anti-brics+ policies too

The central bank is struggling to find buyers for short-term peso-denominated debt that it issues to suck local currency out of the system, signalling that its efforts to contain inflation are flagging in the face of market uncertainty.

looks like this is the main reason, makes no sense to buy debt in a currency that isnt going to exist for long, even with how weak the argentine peso is its lets the national capitalists control the economy, dollarization would have let to the international capitalist to take over the argentine economy and eliminating most national capitalists like it happen on Mexico with the TLCAN.

Cant for for anarcho-capitalism to be blamed for every neoliberal policy failure that Milei will be forced to keep by his coalition

Has any major American media outlet reported anything happening in the West Bank during the last few days? I guess they think of the arrests and the deaths as generic "unrest" not worthy of coverage.

This jumped out at me: "At the moment, the Israeli military are arresting on average around 64 Palestinians every night in the occupied West Bank."

Palestinian teen killed amid ‘intensification’ of Israeli raids in occupied West Bank: Correspondent

Charles Stratford reporting from Ramallah, occupied West Bank

The death of a 17-year-old youth happened during one of a number of raids in and around the city of Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank.

We’ve seen video of the body of that youth being carried by friends and family and supporters after he was killed.

These are just the latest raids that now happen every night right the way across the West Bank – another indication of the intensification of Israeli military raids and attempts to arrest Palestinians since the Hamas raids on October 7.

At the moment, the Israeli military are arresting on average around 64 Palestinians every night in the occupied West Bank and the latest death of that 17-year-old youth in Nablus means that there have now been 227 [Palestinians] killed since October 7.

German police say they have raided the homes of members and supporters of Hamas and Samidoun, another Palestinian organisation that is banned in the country.

About 500 members of the security forces led the operation, with 13 places searched in the capital Berlin, the interior ministry said.

Four other regions were targeted to a lesser extent as police seized smartphones, laptops and various writings, the ministry added.

"We are carrying out action against radical Islamists," Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said earlier on Thursday.

"By banning Hamas and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any apology or support for Hamas's barbaric terror against Israel.

"Islamists and ant-Semites must not feel safe anywhere."

Germany on November 2 banned Hamas and Samidoun.

According to official figures, Germany hosts an estimated 450 members of Hamas, proscribed as a "terrorist" organisation by the European Union, the United States and Israel.

The ministry said that while Hamas members had not staged "violent action" in Germany so far, they had tried to raise funds to help the group overseas and "influence the social and political discourse in Germany".

It said Samidoun on the other hand was "prone to use violence … and denies the right of Israel to exist".

very cool and normal

At least the left is gonna get their "But Venezuela" with Argentina

Responsible Statecraft: Pentagon fails sixth audit in a row

On Wednesday, Pentagon Comptroller Mike McCord revealed that the Department of Defense had failed its sixth audit in a row, with no significant improvements over the last year. “We are working hard to address audit findings as well as recommendations from the Government Accountability Office,” McCord said in a statement. “The Components are making good progress resulting in meaningful benefits, but we must do more.”

In a repeat of last year’s audit, just one in four of the Pentagon’s auditing units received a clean bill of financial health, though auditors made some progress in accounting for the agency’s $3.8 billion in assets. McCord said that a clean audit likely remains years away, according to Reuters. The Pentagon remains the only federal agency to have never passed an audit. Its failure to make significant progress has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who called for an independent audit of the department.

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee also slammed the Pentagon for its financial troubles, arguing in a post on X that the department’s “inability to adequately track assets risks our military readiness and represents a flagrant disregard for taxpayer funds, even as it receives nearly a trillion dollars annually.”

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said the news showed that it’s “time to stop misdirecting hundreds of billions of dollars away from domestic and human needs to pad unnecessary budget lines for endless wars, failed weapons, & the Pentagon’s corporate handouts.”

The news could reinvigorate efforts to impose a 1 percent budget cut on any parts of the military that fail an audit, a policy that would “provide a much greater incentive to get financial books in order,” according to Jennifer Knox of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

I propose a 100% budget cut on any part of the military that fails an audit. And also on the parts that succeed an audit.
