But William wanted more. He tried working at the Opel automobile factory. Then as a car salesman. Nothing satisfied him. He kept pestering his uncle for a better position, a higher title, more money.

Adolf was furious. "I didn't become Chancellor for the benefit of my family," he reportedly said. "No one is going to climb on my back."

William, desperate and resentful, made a catastrophic decision: he tried to blackmail Adolf Hitler.

He threatened to tell newspapers that Adolf's paternal grandfather was allegedly a Jewish merchant named Leopold Frankenberger—a rumor that would destroy Hitler's credibility with his antisemitic base.

So, not someone automatically deserving of praise. Maybe he stopped being a devious, greedy blackmailer later in life, but this certainly isn’t flattering and we don’t know anything about the type of person he was behind closed doors after he served.

Maybe instead of feel-good stories about people financially supporting others, let’s see stories about bigots going to jail for hate crimes, billionaires getting investigated for tax evasion, CEOs of insurance companies being held accountable for the needless deaths of their clients?

I mean, this dude rocks, but it should be so abnormal not to defend any person in need that this should be a non-story. Fight harder. And if I could, I’d pay for this guy’s drinks all night.

404 Media is journalist owned (there are four of them) and they’re doing some of the best journalism in the USA lately. I signed up about a year ago and don’t regret it. If you’ve got the extra cash and you actually give a damn about our broken media landscape, you could find a lot worse places to spend it.

If she doesn’t convert, does he have to divorce her for being a heathen? Let’s see these far-right cretins start acting with the conviction they pretend to have.

Stupid hateful morons.

Is this a picture of a cenobite or a pharyngeal?

These clubs have been reported upon in the USA as well. Learn about where your kids spend their free time. Extremists are deliberately trying to recruit them while they’re young.

But don’t worry. That asshole who played Blossom and Amy Farafowler is a zionist shithead and will make enough noise to drown out all these “anti-Semites.” Imagine treating people as deserving human rights, amiright? /s

She's awesome. I hope she has this much fun with bigots every time.

That's a clever way of bringing it back to the Jews. Good job. Pro move. It's always antisemitism, even when you didn't think they could find a way.

He's actually done a phenomenal job of redefining the limits of USA politics. I mean, he's completely destroying our country, and at a rate that even I have to acknowledge is kind of impressive, despite being horrifying.

Sadly, I don't think they give out the Nobel for that. But maybe we can get him one of those trophies little kids get for playing sports.

Guests who appear remotely on television programs wear earpieces to hear the audio from the anchor who is interviewing them. CNN said that because of a technical error, an audio feed from a different CNN channel began playing in Mr. Miller’s ear. He could no longer hear Mr. Sanchez.

Yes, of course. I believe you. I have no reason not to. Fascists.

 

Such a badass.

“Absolutely there are people I don’t like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover … He’d be the host … Along with Musk would be Trump … And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi. I’d certainly put Netanyahu in there, and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.”

– Jane Goodall

 

The person running the site had some had some health issues and hasn't posted an update in 2.5 years. However, there's a mountain of awesome command line tools to discover if you go through the backlogs. The daily updates on this site used to be one of the most delightful parts of my day for a long time and a lot of tools that I use and love today were found here.

Enjoy!

 

I wanted to post this yesterday, but my instance was having issues the entire day. Apologies if this is a repost.

Shi allegedly sent a message to Oppo saying that he was working to “collect as much information as possible” before starting his job. And he searched the internet for terms like “how to wipe out macbook” and “Can somebody see if I’ve opened a file on a shared drive?” from his Apple-issued MacBook before leaving the company.

For someone who is presumably pretty intelligent, this is pretty dumb.

It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.

Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.

Mark Rober is the Glitter Bomb guy. This has potential.

I can’t imagine how this could go poorly. /s

“What's really interesting about humans and their ancestors is we're a technologically dependent species,” Finestone said. “We rely on tools. We're obligate tool users. We don't do it opportunistically or occasionally the way that a lot of other animals use tools. It's really become ingrained in our way of life, in our survival, and our foraging strategies across all people and all cultures.”

The study of early hominins (our cousins) and the many branches in the path of our evolution is easily my favorite area of science. This topic is evergreen, with new discoveries every year that frequently upend our understanding of the landscape. Dinos and the like are fave number two.

The person accidentally added to the group chat, which appears to contain six people, said they had no idea why they had received these messages, and shared screenshots of the chat with 404 Media. 404 Media granted the person anonymity to protect them from retaliation.

One of six will not be hard to find… I mean, what?
