Meanwhile, infamous net.asylum Bluesky has decided to block Mississippi due to insane age verification laws

https://bsky.social/about/blog/08-22-2025-mississippi-hb1126

"Mississippi's approach would fundamentally change how users access Bluesky. The Supreme Court’s recent decision leaves us facing a hard reality: comply with Mississippi’s age assurance law—and make every Mississippi Bluesky user hand over sensitive personal information and undergo age checks to access the site—or risk massive fines. The law would also require us to identify and track which users are children, unlike our approach in other regions. We think this law creates challenges that go beyond its child safety goals, and creates significant barriers that limit free speech and disproportionately harm smaller platforms and emerging technologies."

“Ralph Wilde, Professor of International Law at University College London, explains why Israel is violating fundamental rules of in international law by its very presence in Gaza, and by committing genocide and other serious abuses against the Palestinian people, including bringing about the current famine; why states have special legal obligations to prevent these violations, including a responsibility to protect the Palestinian people; how they can discharge this duty by ending support for, and imposing sanctions against, Israel; why the illegality of Israel's presence in, and the lack of Israeli sovereignty over, Gaza means Israel has no legal right to decide who can be present in Gaza; why this means that states can engage in a military and civilian humanitarian protective intervention in Gaza lawfully without the need for authorization by the UN, if requested to do so by the representatives of the Palestinian people.”

Dutch Foreign Minister Resigns Over Gaza

Hats off for Caspar Veldkamp:

Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp resigned Friday evening, after he failed to secure new sanctions against Israel over the war in Gaza.
Veldkamp had informed the country’s Parliament he intended to bring in new measures in response to Israel’s planned offensive in Gaza City and other heavily populated areas but was unable to secure the support of his coalition partners.

The 61-year-old former ambassador to Israel told reporters he felt he was unable “to implement policy myself and chart the course I deem necessary.”

There should be many more like him.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
