Cat looks at empty bowl. Cat's owner walks by, while Cat looks up at her, first with hope, then with outrage. Cat thinks, "Mother hath forsaken me," still angry.

Satisfying work.

A challenge to the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to Americans’ personal information survived the administration’s bid to toss the lawsuit.

The government’s arguments that the plaintiffs lacked standing has been expressly rejected by the en banc Fourth Circuit in a separate case concerning DOGE’s access to Social Security data, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia said Wednesday. And the administration’s assertions that the plaintiffs failed to state a claim have been rejected by several courts handling similar cases, Judge Rossie D. Alston Jr. said.

Of course, some might rightly argue that this has happened without the influence of both Epstein or AI 🤔

Anubis rarely ever annoys me (I still prefer it over cloudflare's Mitm) but this specific visit feels almost vindictive. It used half my CPU cores at full blast for three straight minutes.

It seems to be effective since I can't really "bypass" it with extensions, so AI crawlers probably can't either, but damn there really should be an option to complete a manual captcha or email the administrators to complain.

As I'm typing this the challenge is still running xD

Lake Brenets, a long, winding lake on the Swiss-French border, is all ‌but drained and has been unnavigable for more than a week amid a prolonged drought that has hit waterways across Europe.

The lake is normally thronged with campers, swimmers and canoeists in the summer, while three ​boat companies typically ferry thousands of tourists across it each season.

But this year ​it is virtually deserted as water levels in the River Doubs, which ⁠feeds it, have fallen sharply following months of scant rainfall and three successive heatwaves, the ​latest of which is still under way.

WASHINGTON — For the second time in as many weeks, a War Powers Resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump’s war with Iran failed to pass the U.S. Senate Thursday. The vote breakdown, 49-50, fell along familiar lines as previous War Powers votes, with Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Susan Collins of Maine supporting the measure.
