A 29-year-old woman was killed this week by a homeless Somalian in the Netherlands. She texted her family: 'Help me. Now. He is killing me', so the family contacted the police. The police decided that it wasn't urgent and waited 24 hours to investigate. She was found in a suitcase over ten days later and it took 2 weeks to arrest the man she was last seen with, of whom the police refused to release footage.

Meanwhile, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service is using police manpower to investigate and prosecute a gossip-vlogger for calling women fat, 'because verbal aggression contributes to a culture of violence against women'. My boyfriend is being prosecuted for privately e-mailing nude portraits to a bimbo-artist who poses nude publicly for her art regularly.

Obviously, something has gone completely wrong. What are the police for? How can you really stop violence against women? How should you really divide your energy and resources to protect people's lives?

@lee52m Pure robbery. Who the hell those people think they are?

[Stranded @TheRealStranded]

@cparham65 Yeah, we should at least try, as I suspect very few people even begin to understand what the hell we are talking about.

they’re calling it “Black October” and i don’t think people realize how serious this is

in the last 48 hours there have been over 27 major cybersecurity incidents. not in a month. not in a week. in 48 hours

any ONE of these would normally be the biggest story of the year

PHP: critical vulnerability in the software running 80% of the web. severity 9.2 out of 10

Node.js: high-severity flaw letting attackers take over servers remotely. affects versions 22, 24, and 26

Java: also compromised. three of the most used programming languages on earth hit at the same time

GitLab: a perfect 10 out of 10 severity hole in every version since 2014

Railway: hosting platform compromised. API keys for OpenAI, Claude, Stripe potentially exposed

Signal: a bug that could leave your mic and camera on after you hang up

WordPress: hackers stole a plugin maker’s keys and planted backdoors on websites

LiteLLM: an AI tool downloaded 3.4 million times a day was poisoned with a password stealer

and that’s not even half the list

thousands of AI agent swarms are reportedly scanning and attacking vulnerable servers right now. automated. around the clock

security researchers are saying this might be the early stages of a global cyber incident that nobody fully understands yet

if you run a website, use cloud services, store API keys on hosting platforms, or use any software built on PHP, Node.js, or Java you are potentially affected

update everything. rotate your API keys. change your passwords on critical services. enable 2FA everywhere you haven’t already

this is not a normal week on the internet. this is something different

Abgesehen davon, dass das sachlich falsch ist, wie hier schon x-fach dargelegt. Warum sollen wir (wer ist überhaupt wir?) dankbar sein? Andersherum wird ein Schuh draus, denn Deutschland hat den Gastarbeitern aus der Türkei damals die Möglichkeit geboten, hier zu arbeiten, Geld zu verdienen und sich dadurch selbst etwas aufzubauen.

[Stranded @TheRealStranded]

@VceOfReason @bundeskanzler Not to mention the obvious fact that they came to get salaries in multiples of the best they could get back home, not to "build Germany" or improve it in any way. Starge that the Kanzler, of all people, is unable to grasp those simple facts of life.

The period we’re living through is the result of a century long effort to weaken and then destroy Western civilisation from within.

They first dismantled the fabric of society. Christianity was not merely a private belief, it was the moral and cultural framework that bound the British people together across class and region.

Once that was successfully undermined, the common language of right and wrong, duty, and restraint began to dissolve.

At the same time a ‘de-education’ project took hold. Instead of transmitting the culture, history, and habits that sustained our civilisation, education was used to distance each generation from what came before. And even to hate it.

People were also steadily made more dependent on the state. As families, churches, and local communities lost influence, the state expanded to fill the gap, redefining the terms of social life itself.

Britain today already looks nothing like the country our parents and grandparents knew. What we are sleepwalking into will be a darker place still.

Resistance, if it is to mean anything, cannot be purely political or reactive.

It requires deliberately rebuilding the things that were dismantled: restoring the transmission of culture and tradition through family and education, reducing dependence on the state by strengthening local and voluntary institutions, and reviving our shared Christian faith.

Without that foundation, no political victory will last.

Having good leaders at the helm will help us, but the rest is up to us.
