🏒 The International Ice Hockey Federation has made a final decision to disqualify the Russian national team from participating in the 2026 Olympic Games.

"The Harvard (all heads bow) Expert on academic cheating was busted for cheating. Amusing. But—it means that even with her Towering High IQ Expertism she didn’t know how to cheat and get away with it, which a person with genuine expertise would have been able to do! And that is hilarious."

Pakistan introduces digital ID - then right away uses it to cut protesters off from participation in society

Pakistani authorities have moved to disable the national ID and passports of individuals linked to the unrest that unfolded on May 9, 2023, turning to geo-fencing technology to track the presence of mobile devices near demonstration sites.

The protesters were protesting the arrest of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan.

The tactic draws on the country’s highly centralized digital identity infrastructure, which is managed by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).

The main aspect of the current operation is the use of geofencing, a surveillance method that defines virtual boundaries around locations and tracks which mobile devices enter those areas.

By analyzing mobile network signals, authorities are able to determine who was present near protest hotspots during specific periods and take action accordingly.

This use of data to restrict identity documents marks a profound escalation in how digital ID systems are being weaponized.

In Pakistan, ID cards and passports are essential for almost every aspect of life; banking, public services, travel, and even mobile phone use. Withholding these documents amounts to cutting individuals off from full participation in society.

"If you want to preserve your power indefinitely you have to get the consent of the ruled. And this they will do partly by drugs as I foresaw in "Brave New World", partly by these new techniques of propaganda. They will do it by bypassing the rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and his deeper emotions and his physiology even. And so making him actually love his slavery. I think this is the danger, that actually people may be in some ways happy under the new regime. But they will be happy in situations where they ought not to be happy." Aldous Huxley

"A Russian source reports that the results of Ukraine's second attack on the Kerch bridge failed to cause any damage to the bridge itself, and only damaged 2 mesh fences and a decommissioned barge which served as a barrier. The Russian coast guard and Black Sea Fleet destroyed most of the USVs.

"Even now, more images have streamed out showing the vast majority of Russian bases did not suffer any damage as claimed by Ukraine during the ‘surprise drone attack’."

"In short, Jor-El was far from being Superman’s only father. The tears shed over DC’s lackluster treatment of Superman’s “creators” are understandable.  While Siegal and Schuster were plagiarists the elements they purloined became creative engines that were far greater as a whole than they could have ever been as mere separate parts."
