Baby suffers tear gas inhalation during Israeli raid in West Bank

The three-week-old baby suffered tear gas inhalation during the incursion in the village of Madma and was taken to hospital.

The Palestinian news service Wafa reported Israeli forces fired large amounts of tear gas, forcing businesses to close in the centre of the town while scattering residents.

I really don't think that Steam Machines are going to be affordable at all after looking at how utterly fucked RAM prices are. like you need to understand that it's the whole production pipeline that's getting hosed, not just sticks. like it's happening with GPU memory too! it's all across the board!! it's a big problem when it comes to making and especially pricing shit!!!

Another Update: Fastly saw a 2,775% increase in attack activity across our global network between the peak we reported yesterday (Dec. 4th) and 20:00 UTC today (Dec. 5th).

⚠️ This in-the-wild evidence suggests attackers are relentlessly probing for vulnerable applications at scale. ⚠️

It is worth your time to verify, not just trust, that you have zero exposure, and then drop everything to patch.

After the POC publicly dropped around 21:04 UTC yesterday (Dec. 4th), @fastlydevs detected what appeared, at the time, like a sharp escalation in attack activity.

In the 24 hours since then, the number of requests triggering our NGWAF signals for React2Shell exploded by 2,775% (as shown in the graph).

🌎 Fastly's Security Research team verified that select public PoCs grant attackers the single-step ability to execute commands, exfiltrate data, and gain write access on vulnerable servers.

This means cybercriminals and nation state actors alike face an alluring ROI, which is likely to motivate them to invest in weaponizing and operationalizing this at scale.

We are sharing this intelligence not to sow fear, but to reinforce the undeniable, urgent necessity of patching at this point. We also have a few updates for our customers:

🛡️ Fastly's teams expanded our Virtual Patch for CVE-2025-55182 to detect scan/probe activity and attempts to circumvent our NGWAF protections.

🛠️ We discovered the built-in "Attack Tooling" signal in our NGWAF already detects scanners that emerged in the past 24h to probe for vulnerable apps; we suggest customers investigate any requests that triggered this signal, as it may indicate React2Shell activity.

🤖 Fortuitously, Fastly's Bot Management product flagged some react2shell attack tooling as a "Suspected Bad Bot," offering organizations another layer of defense here.

At this time, Fastly's goal is to provide our customers with breathing room to patch.

The best available fix at this time is to update your apps to the applicable patched versions. We are at the point where it is no longer "if," or possibly even "when," but "how often"?

We will continue monitoring global attack activity, investing in additional mitigations for our customers, and sharing intel with the public community.

Area chart showing 24 hour period spanning 20:00 UTC December 4 through 20:00 UTC December 5. The chart is an updated view since last published chart showing a dramatic 2,775% increase in the volume of requests that triggered React2Shell signals in Fastly’s NGWAF leaking at 19:00 UTC on December 5.

Hello Fediverse

If everything works out according to plan, when I hit publish on this post it will show up in the . After a year of on-and-off attempts, to implement on this website, with no success, I have hopefully cracked it! Well, when I say “I have hopefully cracked it,” what I mean is @pfefferle@mastodon.social and the “open office hours” program, have cracked it. It turns out; if you have a problem with the WordPress ActivityPub plugin, the best thing to do is disable other plugins and, though a process of elimination, see if one of them is the issue. So big thanks to Mathias and WordPress for your help on this.

Now this is working and I am broadcasting out into the Fediverse, I feel like I should modify my content a little to appeal to all of you woke, leftists, godless, communists 🙂 out there. For a while I was far too smitten with the every little initiative, every little carbon reduction program, and every other bit of  #GreenWashing that was put out there by brands. Full confession I actually believed that ElonMusk wanted to save the planet! Yeh I know, I was naive…

While I do continue to applaud any actions that a corporation takes, that materially helps either people or planet, it’s clear that problems are systemic. We need corporations to shift from Shareholder Primacy to Stakeholder Capitalism, valuing environmental and social impact alongside profit. Or try someting completely different. Right now, if there is a more sustainable or ethical brand choice to be had, we should always take it, but we must understand, that we are not “saving the planet” with those choices, just minimising our impact. Nebula TV channel, Our Changing Climate,  has this excellent video on the subject of Ethical Consumerism.

It turns out, that whoever first pointed out “Corporations are Psychopaths” was mostly correct – How a corporation is designed to function, putting shareholders before people and planet, is psychopathic behaviour. (Psychopathic behaviour includes a lack of empathy and remorse, superficial charm, manipulation, and a disregard for social norms and the rights of others.) The only solution is to rewrite corporate charters and incorporation acts and include specific legal provisions that mandate environmental and social responsibility, shifting the core purpose of business beyond mere profit maximisation. Ultimately Corporations and their leaders are never going to fully act in the best interests of people and planet, because that’s not what they were created to do.

So the plan, for 2026, is to be posting more content here that challenges both brands and the whole system. To shine a light on the negative impacts to people and planet that brands are having. And to share more content about organisations and companies working on regeneration and decarbonisation.

Please follow and share your thoughts and ideas below.

Street Style
As one of the most popular genres, street photography comes in many different styles or sub-genres.
I'll end this series with probably my favourite style, Street: Abstracts.
I am comfortable photographing strangers but not everyone is, and in some countries it is even illegal.
Freed from that pressure, the abstract street photographer becomes absorbed in the colours, textures, patterns, reflections, light and shapes of the city.

Close-up image shows the subtle, swooping curves and brilliant red of a car's brake lights glowing in the dark of nightTaken in a Spanish marketplace the image consists of tiny silver fish which are arranged in a pleasing, cross-cross pattern on a stone slab.Lights from office buildings and a traffic light are reflected in vertical columns in the shining, rippled surface of a river running through a city centre, looking very much like an abstract painting Ornate iron railings and a white building caught in bright sunlight are reflected in the shiny paintwork and window of a parked car in a largely monochrome image with just two tiny hints of colour, blue and red.
