Mockeries: Gnarled husks that house Alcan spectres robbed of rest.
Preludes 15: Gods & Ghosts brought sweeping changes to Mockeries with new attacks and updated FX.
🇺🇸🇮🇹Donald Trump attacks Giorgia Meloni — and she delivers a fiery speech he’ll never forget.
Donald Trump thought he could easily score political points by calling Giorgia Meloni “an insult to Jesus,” accusing her of “not being woke,” and claiming that God does not discriminate. Unfortunately for “Don Dementia,” this time he picked the wrong target.
Standing at a historic location, Giorgia Meloni didn’t just respond — she delivered a full moral reckoning.
“The President of the United States just said that I insult Jesus,” Giorgia Meloni declared. “Do you want to know what really insults Jesus? Taking healthcare away from the sick while cutting taxes for billionaires.”
And that was only the beginning.
“Do you want to know what else insults Jesus?” she continued. “Deporting foreigners and separating children from their mothers.”
Then she went even further, touching on war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
“Do you want to know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent schools in Iran and sending our brave men and women to die in yet another endless war… hiding the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute anyone involved.”
This wasn’t politics as usual. It was a full moral indictment.
Giorgia Meloni, targeted by Trump for supporting transgender people and for saying that “trans children are children of God,” completely turned the tables. Instead of backing down, she grounded her message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
“I am not a perfect Christian,” she said. “There was only one perfect man, and two thousand years ago he was crucified.”
Then came the line that hit the hardest:
“Jesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine hatred in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on Earth?”
This is how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity and conviction.
Trump tried to discredit her. Instead, Giorgia Meloni delivered a sermon that now echoes far beyond that hall.
Please share Giorgia Meloni’s inspiring words.
A crushing Mace of Sinecure make, sure to punch through any armour with its punishing overhead slams.

Hab gehört, man soll diese schöne Flagge bloß nicht posten, weil sich rechte Gruppen davon sehr angegriffen fühlen! Also macht es mir bitte nicht nach🤗
For this to be my first post is so uncomfortable, but it needs to be said:
Creating a damning expose on an individual does not detract from the issues within the company. It doesn't excuse funding mismanagement, it doesn't excuse false promises, -
📱 Chat Control 2.0 wrócił. Tym razem chcą skanować twój telefon, zanim wyślesz wiadomość❗
Na początku kwietnia wygasł w UE tymczasowy wyjątek pozwalający firmom technologicznym masowo skanować prywatne wiadomości użytkowników. Wielu odetchnęło z ulgą. Za wcześnie.
▪️ Chat Control 2.0 zakłada obowiązkowe skanowanie treści WSZYSTKICH użytkowników - nie tylko podejrzanych
▪️ Aby objąć kontrolą zaszyfrowane komunikatory jak WhatsApp czy Signal, projekt przewiduje tzw. client-side scanning - aplikacja skanuje zdjęcia i wiadomości bezpośrednio na twoim telefonie, zanim zostaną zaszyfrowane
▪️ Komisja Europejska i Rada UE popierają masowe monitorowanie - Parlament Europejski się sprzeciwia, ale może ustąpić pod presją argumentu "ochrony dzieci"
▪️ Prezydencja Cypru chce porozumienia przed końcem lata
System ma chronić dzieci, ale dane z działania Chat Control 1.0 są druzgocące. Microsoft przeanalizował 11,7 miliarda obrazów i wiadomości - zgłosił policji zaledwie 32 tysiące przypadków. Według niemieckiej policji 48 procent zgłoszeń było nieistotnych. 40 procent ściganych nie stanowiło przestępstwa. 99 procent materiałów zgłaszanych przez Metę było już wcześniej znanych organom ścigania.
Zamiast ścigać przestępców, policja tonęła w setkach tysięcy bezwartościowych sygnałów.
Europol w operacji "Alice" zlikwidował ponad 373 tysiące stron pedofilskich i zidentyfikował setki sprawców - bez żadnego masowego skanowania. Dobrze ukierunkowana praca śledcza działa. Masowa inwigilacja wszystkich - nie.
Bo może tu nigdy nie chodziło o ochronę dzieci?
Skanowanie wiadomości, zakaz VPN, weryfikacja tożsamości – wszystko co teraz dzieje się na szczeblu UE to pełzający totalitaryzm. Celem jest zdobycie informacji o nas samych.
You buy a German anvil. It contains 83 moving parts and requires winding twice a day. It's forged from excellent steel, holds tolerances across all three striking faces to within three microns, includes a beautifully indexed horn-adjustment mechanism nobody asked for, and requires a proprietary 11-point spanner should you need to replace the rebound calibration bushing. It runs flawlessly for years, but one day it starts up in limp mode because the onboard anvil-management system detects that it's overdue for its 50,000-strike inspection.
You search AliExpress for a Chinese anvil, and are presented with a multitude of offerings from such household-name brands as DUKXJYIBF, HDBTGMXI, AND UEJQIP. They're all priced to within a few pennies of each other, appear completely identical except for the nameplate, and obviously all came out of the same factory. You text your blacksmith friend to ask if they're legit. He tells you he got one like that from KIXJBU a few years ago, and that it's been great and a terrific deal. You thank him, but KIXJBU seems to have folded so you buy the one from UEJQIP. When it arrives, it feels suspiciously light. You scratch it and realize it's iron-plated aluminum.
You buy an American anvil. It's five times the price of the competition, but it comes from a brand that your great-grandfather used to love. It comes boxed with a warranty registration postcard, twenty pages of safety instructions, assay certificate, and a regulatory slip which lists its FCC certification and ITAR registration. It looks just like your friend's KIXJBU. There's a "Made In China" sticker on the bottom.
You buy a Russian anvil. It arrives coated in cosmoline, wrapped in newspaper from 1974, and weighing 40% more than advertised. The finish looks like it was machined with a shovel. The face is not flat, but somehow this does not matter. You drop it off a truck, accidentally leave it outside for six winters, and use it to straighten a bulldozer blade. It's fine.
You buy a Swedish anvil. It comes flat-packed in a long cardboard box with cheerful Neo-Grotesk lettering and a line drawing of a smiling man assembling it with an Allen key. The instructions contain no words, only pictograms showing the anvil face, horn, waist, feet, and 112 identical-looking fasteners. Halfway through assembly, you discover that the pritchel hole was installed upside down, but only because you used peg B17 where you should have used peg B71. Once assembled, it is clean, stable, and works better than it has any right to. You immediately wonder whether you should have bought two.
You buy a Japanese anvil. It arrives wrapped in rice paper inside a paulownia box, accompanied by a certificate bearing three generations of signatures and a photograph of the first production example being presented to the Emperor. The face has been hand-polished by a seventy-eight-year-old master whose family has made striking surfaces since the Muromachi period. You are given detailed instructions for oiling it with a cloth folded in a specific way. It is the most beautiful object you own. You never quite work up the nerve to strike it.
