The most depressing news of the week: Intel is ending their performance-optimized Clear Linux distribution. Over the past decade the Clear Linux operating system has shown what's possible with out-of-the-box performance on x86_64 hardware... Not just for Intel platforms but even showing extremely great performance results on AMD x86_64 too. But with the cost-cutting going on at Intel, Clear Linux is now being sunset.

In the besieged Gaza Strip, three professions have emerged as a lifeline, their practitioners heroic in their efforts to alleviate the worst of the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding under Israel’s constant attacks on civilians and civic infrastructure.

The rescuers, the healers, and the witnesses — civil defense responders making unimaginable sacrifices to try and save people from the rubble of bombed buildings; medical professionals fighting an impossible battle with poor supplies in hospitals; and journalists risking their lives to expose the truth — are all supporting the entire population enduring genocide and famine.

According to the Health Ministry, the Israeli military has killed at least 113 civil defense responders, around 228 journalists, and at least 1,411 medical workers since October 7, 2023.

Imagine this - high quality, locally-grown leafy greens - without pesticides - ALL year round, AND grown on a large scale. Our Audra Brown travels to King City, Ontario to peek into Canada's first fully automated, hands-free greenhouse.

That would've been more successful if it released 5 or 10 years or even more later.

…with carrots, mushrooms and onions and marinated in sake before cooking. Served over plain rice. Delicious even though the mushrooms got stuck under the skin.

I explained that since they canceled The Late Show and capitulated to the fascist party currently running our government that they’ll not receive another cent from me. They bent the knee to a child rapist and need to do better.

I left a strongly worded review on the app as well.

Death by 1000 cuts.

(I wasn’t sure how to flair this)

Edit: I accidentally said the daily show was canceled. I meant the late show. I watched them both and got my wires crossed.

It’s not Squid Game — at least not according to the way Netflix ranks its programming. Adolescence, the critically acclaimed U.K. limited series that earned 13 Emmy nominations earlier this week, takes the crown with 144.8 million views worldwide since its March 13 premiere.

Squid Game is not far behind, however. Season two of the Korean thriller, released in the last week of 2024, is second among all series with 117.3 million views from January to June. The third and final season is one spot back with 71.5 million views, despite having premiered just four days before the close of the half-year.

Maiquetía (Venezuela) (AFP) – Venezuela on Friday received seven children who had been left behind in the United States after their parents were deported by the Donald Trump administration.

Seven boys and girls have been "rescued from the kidnapping to which they were being subjected," Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said at Maiquetia International Airport that serves Caracas.

Cabello and First Lady Cilia Flores received the flight from Houston that also brought back 244 Venezuelans.

Hundreds of people protested in Caracas last week demanding the return of at least 30 children the government says remained in the United States after their Venezuelan parents were expelled.

Last month, parliamentary president Jorge Rodriguez said the children were "separated from their mothers, their fathers, their family, their grandparents" and "taken to institutions where they don't belong."

Cabello said Friday the government was working hard "to bring the children back."

He did not say when the seven were separated from their parents.

Official figures show that since February, more than 8,200 people, including many children, have been repatriated to Venezuela from the United States and Mexico.

'Tis I, BoyTrouble. I decided to turn over a new leaf and now I'm NewChapter.

My relationship with "Michael" didn't work out, but I have a new crush "Kieran".

I won't say much, but Kieran and I actually met at a therapy reunion sort of thing where every person within my age group who went to that therapy group at one point came together and we said our "final goodbyes" (unless we went back. I really hope that in the future, Kieran and I go and end up going to the same therapy.

Anyway, while I was still dating Michael, I met Kieran and sort of had a crush on him (though not "love", we just met). He doesn't text much, but when he did today, I asked him if he wanted to hang out some time next month since I was busy all throughout this month, and he said he would love to hang out!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!

I barely think about Michael anymore but the hurt is still there. I'm happy, though, and I'm gonna make my posts all about me, my friends, life, and Kieran now.

A 61-year-old man who suffered critical injuries after being pulled into an MRI machine while wearing a metal chain has died, police said Friday.

The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon at a medical building in Westbury, New York, according to the Nassau County Police Department.

Officers responded to Nassau Open MRI following a 911 call and were informed that the man "entered an unauthorized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) room while the scan was in progress," the police department said in a statement.
