This is kind of an old story. That phone has been a fire starter for quite a while and should have been recalled.
But somebody went 'viral' so we get to hear about it again.
A friend has one and treats it like family, but she never flies.

The image is a screenshot of a Twitter post by Aaron Rupar ([@]atrupar.com). The post features a conversation between Veasey and RFK Jr. about the 12 steps of recovery. Veasey asks RFK Jr. about step 4, which RFK Jr. responds to by saying "Making a fearless inventory of ourselves." Veasey then inquires about step 12, to which RFK Jr. replies, "We try to help other addicts." Veasey follows up by asking if cutting off treatment from people still suffering aligns with step 4 or step 12. The post includes a timestamp of June 24, 2025, at 12:15 PM, and a video thumbnail showing a man in a suit, identified as Mr. Veasey from Texas, speaking at a podium. The video is paused at 0:05.

โ™ฒ @iitians@iitians.xyz:
A Map of the Northern Magnetic Pole's Shift Over 400 Years:
Earth's magnetic poles are undergoing dramatic change โ€” and the pace of change is accelerating.

The North Magnetic Pole, the point where Earth's geomagnetic field is vertical, has been steadily shifting for centuries. A historical mapping of its movement from 1640 to 2020 reveals a gradual northwest trajectory in more recent centuries, primarily toward Siberia.

This shift has significantly accelerated in the past century, with the pole rapidly approaching Russia.

The movement is influenced by changes in the dynamics of Earth's molten iron core, which generates the planet's magnetic field. Unlike fixed geographical poles, the North Magnetic Pole's position fluctuates daily within an oval-shaped locus due to geomagnetic variations.

To create maps like these, scientists use historical data from magnetic measurements taken at various locations over centuries, including records from old compass readings, volcanic rock samples, and recent satellite observations.

Honestly I'd tag this, but I've got no idea what to tag it with, you can see this with politicians, corporations, pretty much everyone that's required to be transparent, but doesn't want to be.

The image shows a man in a military uniform standing in front of a wall adorned with various documents and an American flag. The uniform is brown with a light-colored shirt and a dark tie, featuring several colorful ribbons on the left side of the chest, indicating various awards or honors. The man has a serious expression and is speaking, as indicated by the subtitles at the bottom of the image that read, "This is a press conference! The last thing I want to do is answer questions!" The background includes a bulletin board with pinned papers and photographs, suggesting an office or briefing room setting.

Appropriate reporting


Ok, I'm sure other Fediverse #admin have gotten reports like this:

Yes, obviously we haven't been checking our reports regularly, with only 3 active users, and only one that's truly active, its easy to monitor this place, so reports aren't hugely important.

That said, gotta love this one, I mean expecting someone to be punished not for violating rules here, but maybe, possibly doing something bad somewhere on the internet.
Umm, unless they break the rules here, we don't really have grounds to ban them, I mean sure, I can do anything I want, but it doesn't reflect well on me for banning people for no reason.
Second and more important, is the lack of proof, its not like user names are unique, the ones I use elsewhere on the web, I know of multiple other users using the same or similar names (minor spelling variations, number substitutes, etc), even if I were inclined to ban someone for something they do somewhere else, I'd need proof of the behavior and proof that its them.

Seriously, if you're going to report a user, feel free, but don't bother us with unsubstantiated claims that have nothing to do with our instance, sadly we don't control the entire internet.

The image shows a Twitter conversation with three tweets. The first tweet, from the user "deal" with the handle "[@]dealbakerjones," suggests selling hurricane names to NOAA for profit, with a humorous example of a headline: "Hurricane CapitalOne decimates Gulf Coast." The second tweet, from "The Associated Press" with the handle "[@]AP," reports that Hurricane Erick has made landfall in western Oaxaca, Mexico. The third tweet, from the user "oxenboard" with the handle "[@]rightly_xboard," humorously proposes selling the right to not name hurricanes after companies as a form of ransom. The tweets are displayed against a dark background, with the user handles and profile pictures visible.

Best purchase yet?


So, I've been casually looking for a compact bookshelf stereo for my desk, something that could replace my computer speakers while at the same time giving me the option to listen to CDs or the radio, and yesterday I got this:

Image/photoThe image shows a silver JVC audio system with a digital display and various buttons and knobs. The display is illuminated with a blue light, showing the number "101." The system includes a radio tuner, CD player, and DVD player, as indicated by the labels on the front panel. The device is placed on a desk, with a red flexible tripod and a colorful LED light display in the background. The desk also has a small figurine on top of the audio system. The overall setting appears to be a workspace or a home entertainment area.

That's a big bigger than it looked in the pictures, or rather really deep. It is however great, and very much over kill. Why? Because it doesn't just do radio and CD, it also does DVDs, as in its a DVD player. No HDMI, but does have composite and I think S-video, so very nice piece, music and video in one small unit.

I might actually go back to the computer speakers, while this works fine, that'd allow me to hear things on the computer and play music at the same time, which is very appealing. Also since I've retired my engraver, I can replace my other computer with a small TV and watch DVDs at my desk if'n I want to.

Dunno if they still make units like this, but highly recommended, it's nice how it saves space while giving you so many options, imagine living in a tiny home or RV (caravan), all your media in one small box. I scored this one for just $20 on Marketplace, which seems about fair considering these were sold back around 2005, so really old.

The image features a quote on a dark textured background. The quote is in white text and reads: "No society wants you to become wise, it is against the investment of all societies. If people are wise they cannot be exploited. If they are intelligent they cannot be subjugated, they cannot be forced in a mechanical life, to live like robots... They will have the fragrance of rebellion around them. In fact, a wise man is afire, alive, aflame. He would like rather to die than to be enslaved." - Osho. The text is centered and occupies most of the image, with a small watermark in the bottom right corner that reads "Scholars of the Galaxy."

The image is a meme with a black background and white text at the top. The text reads: "It's ridiculous to compare ICE to the SS. The SS had Hugo Boss designing their outfits and ICE has the laundry basket from a homeless shelter designing their outfits." Below the text, there are two images side by side. On the left, there are three illustrated figures in historical SS uniforms, including a soldier, a high-ranking officer, and another officer. The uniforms are detailed, with the central figure wearing a long black coat with a red armband and a peaked cap. On the right, there are three individuals in modern clothing, including hoodies and plaid shirts, with their faces covered by black masks. They are standing in front of a black vehicle, with a traffic cone visible in the foreground. The individuals appear to be in a line, with one holding a tool.
