🚨BREAKING NEWS : Your "deleted" photos aren't deleted.
Claude Code found years of them sitting in a hidden cache on my iPhone.
I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. I had Claude Code doing a security check at the same time. It flagged something I wasn't looking for. A directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails.
Thousands of files. Photos, videos, screenshots. A lot of them were things I had deleted.
Photos from a couple of years ago. Screenshots I took and deleted a few seconds later. Stuff I went into Recently Deleted and cleared. Some of it was still sitting there.
What I found in that cache:
- old screenshots of banking apps
- photos I deleted right after taking them
- random pictures I didn't want on my phone anymore
- a few things I specifically remember deleting more than once
When you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and Recently Deleted folder. But it keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search cache so your phone can still find things when you search. That cache doesn't get fully cleared.
I checked which apps had Files and Folders access. There were more than I expected, including apps I downloaded a long time ago and forgot about. Any of them could potentially read files from that cache.
I went through the list and removed access from most of them.
The prompt I used is below. It doesn't take long if you already have a backup.
How many apps on your phone have Files access right now?

That's pretty much what I said.
"Them first, you next"
The problem is a lot of these unionist and west-brit types have this idealised, even quasi-romantic notion that this "enemy of my enemy is my friend" venture when it happens will result in some Hollywood style trope narrative of learning along the way of the great battle against the common opponent that we actually aren't that different after all and kumbayah gush mush blah blah shite.
No, I mean it when I say FOR NOW.
I am indeed pragmatic enough to put some differences aside temporarily just as long they are aware that I would indeed be coming for them next.
It's not something I'll be convinced away from.

These four birds have two things in common.
- They are classified as endangered in Ireland.
- They are still legal to shoot for sport in Ireland.
This is awful and should change.
Total Poacher Death.

This man is Fiacra Mac Raghnaill.
Former Labour Councillor for Louth.
During the most recent general election, he was put in charge of counting ballots in Drogheda and when my associate, Derek Martin McElearney, candidate at the time for The Irish People, entered the counting hall, Mr. Mac Raghnaill accosted him with insults and accusations of being a racist, homophobe, transphobe and a fascist.
Regardless of whatever you think of one's political views, surely we can all agree that this is a huge glaring blatant conflict of interest and should not have been allowed.
No sensible overseer should have trusted him with that responsibility.
Attempts at enquiry about the incident to Gardaí were fobbed off.
And no wonder why.
Take a look there at the response email design...in November...
Corruption.

"Everything CHANGES on the 27th October...."
A man named Yeshua Ben David (literally “Jesus, Son of David”) is running for Prime Minister of Israel with the Gan Eden (“Garden of Eden”) party. He’s talked about rebuilding the Third Temple, serving as high priest, and treating the Knesset like a modern Sanhedrin.
Is this just internet hype, or something worth watching?

Africans beating up a lone Irish kid.
It’s just been relentless today.
By the way, those Irish lads who stood around and watched?
You know.

Ancient and pre-colonial African civilizations developed advanced waterways, canals, maritime routes, and hydrological engineering systems to manage water, irrigate land, and power trade.
The Foggaras (Garamantes Kingdom, Libya): Starting around 400 B.C., the Saharan Kingdom of the Garamantes hand-carved over 460 to 600 miles of underground gravity-fed tunnels (foggaras) to transport fossil water from subterranean aquifers to desert oases without evaporation losses.
Stone Aqueducts and Terracing (Nyanga, Zimbabwe): Pre-colonial societies in Southern Africa built complex networks of stone-lined aqueducts—some measuring over two miles long—running from artificial mountain stream dams across hillsides.
The pyramids - Egypt.

Cool. They can stay there. There might be some things to admire about Africa. But Irish society brings them in to replace the Irish.
You either want the sons and daughters of those who've lived in these lands for 1000s of years to rule them or you're a traitor.
Remigration now.

This scientist discovered that an ancient virus infected chimpanzee ancestors 4 MILLION years ago but spared humans, leaving behind DNA that switched OFF a gene involved in chimpanzee brain development!
Here's the really crazy part. When researchers removed that ancient viral DNA from chimpanzee cells, the silenced gene switched BACK ON!
Neurogeneticist Patricia Gerdes and her team identified 158 ancient viral insertions scattered across the chimpanzee genome, but humans lack these particular insertions.
The virus, called PTERV1, inserted its DNA into chimpanzee ancestors millions of years ago. One of those insertions appears to have silenced a gene called LINC00662, which is active during early human brain development.
Scientists used CRISPR to remove that viral DNA from chimpanzee stem cells in the laboratory, restoring the gene's activity.
But here's another fascinating discovery. The same gene is especially active in developing human brains around 10 to 12 weeks after conception.
When scientists suppressed this gene in miniature human brain models grown in the lab, they found reduced development of the extensions that help neurons form connections.
Humans have the same gene, but we don't carry the viral insertion that switches it off.
Could an ancient viral infection that our ancestors escaped have helped shape why human and chimpanzee brains evolved so differently?

“Why should British people support your ethnonationalism when you won't support theirs?”
We don’t want any support from anyone British. Have never asked for it.
We just want the British State out of our country and to take all the Loyalists & Orangemen with it.
