A revived EU proposal would force apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram to scan every message, photo, and video starting in October - even if encrypted.

France flipped to support. 19 of 27 member states are now backing it.

Germany's undecided - but if Berlin folds, mass surveillance becomes law by mid-October.

The excuse? Stopping CSAM.

The reality? Total algorithmic surveillance and the end of private messaging in Europe.

Deltas in Young Adult Fiction

An analysis of Homer from Beverly Cleary's JEAN AND JOHNNY

"Scientists on both sides of the globe, Australia and the United States, have built motion sensors so precise that they don't care where the GPS satellites are or if someone’s trying to deceive them.

"Gravity doesn’t lie. And now, for the first time, ships, missiles, and maybe even foot soldiers might navigate by Earth’s pull instead of Uncle Sam’s satellite constellation."

"Academics say people do bad things, and may do worse, and so “it is necessary to morally bioenhance the population”, for instance by “infusing water supplies with pharmaceuticals that enhance empathy or altruism”. Or possibly by genetically modifying tickets to make you allergic to red meat? Crutchfield: “Not only should moral bioenhancement be compulsory, it should also be covert, conducted without the knowledge of those who are being enhanced.”"

"While the world focuses on alleged 'far-right' movements across Europe, something more sinister is brewing in the home of Lego, Carlsberg and Hans Christian Andersen. Under the cover of environmental protection, the government is planning to confiscate huge chunks of farmland and destroy the agricultural industry that feeds the nation."

"Qubic Hits 52.72 % Of Monero’s Total Hashrate" - La Rédaction C., Cointribute, 12AUG2025

>Qubic briefly reached 52.72% of Monero’s hashrate with 3.01 GH/s, demonstrating exceptional computing power.

>The project aims to maintain more than 51% hashrate dominance between August 2 and 31, 2025 as part of a planned test.

>A technical collaboration between Sergey Ivancheglo and Shai documents results and addresses accusations of malicious attacks.

>Many Monero miners migrated to Qubic despite a DDoS attack temporarily reducing the pool’s power.

>The temporary reaching of the 51 % hashrate threshold represents a major event in the crypto ecosystem. Theoretically, this level of control allows the blockchain to be reorganized, double spends to be created, or transactions censored.

>However, Qubic claims this demonstration aims to strengthen Monero’s security rather than attack it.

"This approval process has also been used to attack creators over politics. Even after projects have been greenlit, if Kickstarter recieves pushback during the campaign period, the company has been known to end projects and cancel all backings as has been done to Mike Baron’s Private American and Hans Schantz’s The Wise Of Heart, both books which have politically right-leaning themes, but are not remotely offensive compared to a lot of the pornography that gets sold on Kickstarter."

The Marvel Method

The Dark Herald shares an insider’s denoscription of the Marvel method of movie-making at Arkhaven. Like Matt Shakman and the writers of #FantasticFour, I’ve sat in the ‘creative meetings’ at @MarvelStudios. They’re horrible. You basically sit in a room with Kevin Feige and Lou D’Esposito and try to pitch your movie while realizing Kevin just […]
