The worst backdoor in the history of open source software was narrowly avoided just days ago.

Had this gone undetected, vast sections of the linux ecosystem would've become vulnerable to being hacked and taken over by a bad actor that to this day remains totally unknown.

The XZ Backdoor is believe me - one hell of a rabbit hole, so rather than going into detail on one specific thing, this video is more of an overview on the whole campaign beginning to end.

DEMOLISH APARTHEID NOT PALESTINIAN HOMES

TAKE ACTION HERE amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-system-of-apartheid/

Millions of Palestinians live under Israel’s system of apartheid, and at the heart of this violently racist system, is the Palestinian experience of being denied a home.

For over 73 years, Israel has forcibly displaced entire Palestinian communities and demolished hundreds of thousands of Palestinians’ homes causing terrible trauma & suffering. Over 6 million Palestinians remain as refugees and today at least another 150,000 are at real risk of losing their homes.

Israel has created and maintains laws, policies, and practices that deliberately oppress Palestinians and work to ensure Jewish Israeli domination across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). This includes racist seizures of property and planning laws and policies that make it impossible for many Palestinians to build homes. It also allows for mass demolitions of homes built without a permit, something that is routinely denied for Palestinians.

In 1897, American explorer Robert Peary returned from his latest Arctic expedition to Greenland with an enormous iron meteorite, which he had taken from a small tribe of Greenlandic Inuit, the Inughuit. Also on board his ship were six Inughuit. Peary had convinced them to come with him to New York to be studied by the American Museum of Natural History in exchange for guns and tools. But soon after getting back to New York, Peary left on a promotional speaking tour. The six Inughuit never saw him again.

Within a few months of exposure to the warmer climate, four of the Inughuit — Qisuk, Nuktaq, Atangana, and Aviaq — had died of respiratory disease. And another, Uisaakasak, asked to return to Greenland on one of Peary’s ships. The only Inuk left was 9-year-old Minik, Qisuk’s son. The museum officials told Minik they buried his father’s body, but that was a lie. They had actually stored Qisuk’s remains inside the museum to study.

Minik grew up in New York and went by the name Mene Wallace. In 1907, he learned the truth about his father and publicly pleaded with the museum to return Qisuk’s remains to him so he could give him a proper burial, but the museum refused. Minik eventually returned to Greenland on one of Peary’s ships in 1909 and needed to relearn Inughuit customs and his native language, Inuktun.

The American Museum of Natural History kept the remains of the four Inughuit who died in its care until 1993. Today, there is no mention inside the museum of Minik or the other five Inughuit brought to New York in 1897. The giant meteorite Peary took, however, remains a signature exhibit.

Join me as we explore how director Damien Chazelle made use of colours in La La Land. Instead of using the standard emotional connotations for certain colours, Chazelle gives each colour its own thematic resonance and narrative weight, adding an extra layer to the visual storytelling. He uses inspirations ranging from German Expressionism to classical Hollywood to create a film that is not only colourful, but uses these colours for specific purposes.

About this video: With the Jeffrey Epstein case one of the most controversial scandals in recent years, and now the new list that show Prince Andrew, Steven Hawking, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are also implicated - I’ve seen a resurgence of debates around whether the abuse was bad enough/serious enough, qualifies for mention. People ranking the experiences and minimising and trivialising them. I see this constantly, things that clearly amounted to sxual violence are minimised by terms like ‘’just bad sx’’ misunderstanding, ‘grey area’’. People say This doesn’t really count, but …” or: “I wasn’t r@ped, but …” then proceed to tell me things that absolutely were rape. No matter where I go, or how horrendous the experience, people never seemed to think it was that bad. ‘abuse ranking’ is r@pe apologia. It normalises and trivialises the harm and invalidates victims. It makes us believe some acts are tolerable, and, further, that if a survivor of the "not as bad" sort of violence, they’re making a mountain out of a molehill. ‘’not that bad’’ is a chore pillar of r@pe culture.

CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS:

• there are a few points where I switch between the terms "Black," "POC," and "immigrant" as though the terms are interchangeable; they are not

• the image representing "pre-transition photos" is not an actual pre-transition photo, in case anyone was worried. this should've been clarified in the video itself.

• I wish I'd changed the phrasing on "tokens on a white person's game board" to make it clear that this is an unambiguously false opinion

Around the time that Israelis celebrate Independence Day, Palestinians commemorate “The Nakba,” or “The Catastrophe.” The Nakba was a series of events, centered around 1948, that expelled hundreds of thousands Palestinians from their homeland and killed thousands. The Nakba isn’t the beginning of the story, but it’s a key part of Palestinian history — and the root of Israel’s creation.

Prior to the Nakba, Palestine had a thriving population — largely made up of Arabs — that had lived and worked the land for centuries. But with the founding of Zionism, years of British meddling, and a British pledge to help create a Jewish state in Palestine — things began to change drastically. By 1947, with increasing tensions between Jewish settlers and Palestinian Arabs — the British left Palestine, and the UN stepped in with a plan to partition the land into two states. What followed was known as Plan Dalet: operations by Israeli paramilitary groups that violently uprooted Palestinians. An estimated 15,000 Palestinians were killed, more than 500 villages were decimated, and roughly 750,000 Palestinians displaced.

Most who were expelled from their homes couldn’t return to historic Palestine. And today, millions of their descendants live in refugee camps in Gaza, the West Bank and surrounding countries. The history of the Nakba has been deliberately concealed and often ignored in western narratives around the creation of Israel. In this episode of Missing Chapter, we break down how the Nakba happened — and how it defined the future of Palestine.

The Princess and The Frog and Soul, are the two Black firsts—the first Black Disney Princess and the first Pixar movie with a Black lead.

Each attempting to gain representation clout from young and old people who have been socialized for generations to view the company as synonymous with universality. Now, this criticism of Soul and Princess and the Frog, or really any polarizing BIPOC animated creation does not dismiss the feelings of those who may feel represented by it—or dismiss the one BIPOC creator works like this bring on for "authenticity."

It is calling out the failures of crafting diversity around a theme or topic, not build to actual deal with Blackness, or otherness, that lead to the film ultimately failing to really say anything—at least to this lady.

Today Kenya commemorates 60 years of independence from Britain. On this milestone anniversary, we are unveiling an exclusive investigation into the ongoing crimes perpetrated by Britain's military in Kenya—the largest such presence in Africa.

Echoes of Empire: British Neocolonialism in Kenya, exposes the British military's attempts to conceal alleged sex crimes and murder by its troops, along with declassified documents that meticulously detail shocking evidence of torture and rape during the era of British colonial rule.

Our documentary presents exclusive footage capturing drunk British soldiers menacingly threatening violence. Additionally, it features new accounts from Kenyan sex workers alleging rape committed by British forces.

The stories that we unearthed from both the past and present serve as a poignant testament to the enduring evidence that the brutal legacy of British colonization persists today.

In this two-part investigative documentary series, I delve into the color corrective glasses industry, focusing on major brands like EnChroma, PileStone, and Carelust.

Bing is laughed at but it’s actually a profitable product, which demonstrates the power of the control tech companies can have.

Many of us believe that we're living in a meritocracy, deserving of what we have and compassionate toward those with less. But that's not true: white people have been given a headstart and ongoing advantages due to the color of their skin, while people of color suffer from equally arbitrary disadvantages, says scholar and activist Peggy McIntosh. She explains what led her to recognize her privilege — and how it can be used by those with power to ensure a fairer life for others.

Presidential candidate Cornel West and author Gabor Maté met for the first time this week to discuss the horrors of Israel’s war on Gaza.

“I don’t know about you,” Dr. Maté says to Dr. West, “but for me, what’s going on is one of the heaviest things, if not the heaviest thing, I’ve witnessed in my whole life. I don’t know how to compare tragedies, but there’s something about what’s going on right now that seems heavier and darker.”

West responds: “When you watch precious human beings being literally killed, crushed, demeaned, degraded, day after day, it makes you think that this particular historical moment has a certain grimness and darkness that others don’t.”

The two men use their complex histories with tragedy and suffering to analyze the horror of the current moment.

“I’ve always felt that no evil would surprise me and no despair would paralyze me,” West continues, “because you and I know the history of the species.”

But the conversation that stems from this is a much more hopeful one, where the scholars’ vast study of philosophy and history intertwine to create a message not of helplessness but of possibility.

Hear the full conversation on how oppressed people create music of rebellion, their favorite philosophers, and a final message to take from the conversation: “Never again is not a tribal slogan. It’s a universal slogan. It applies to everybody.”

With every new military operation, Israel's propaganda machine goes to work. This essay dives deep into Israel's weaponization of the "antisemitism accusation." I examine its philosophical underpinnings, its use for counterinsurgency, its consequences, and its background. In tracing this history, I look at the roots of Judaism, antisemitism, and Zionism writ large, and show the emergence of Zionism within the racist epistemologies of the 19th century. I also examine how this racism has persisted and reared its head with contemporary population genetics and biotech like #23andme. By deconstructing (with counsel from evolutionary biologists) the scientific fallacies undergirding the understanding of "Jewish" as a race, I offer a different, radically inclusive definition of "Jew." Finally, I respond to some of the problems in PhilosophyTube's popular video Antisemitism: An Analysis | Philosophy Tube
