She was shot while fucking live streaming dude. It's terrible.

Me: [media pointer="file-service://file-NJMLSkeVhsruo3twk5W88K"] can you make sense of any of this?

Chatgpt: You're looking at a page from the Voynich Manuscript—a famously mysterious and undeciphered illustrated codex. Could you clarify what you're hoping to understand? For example:

• Are you curious about the text (what language or script it uses)?
• Do you want to know about the drawings (e.g., the plants or symbols)?
• Are you asking about theories behind its origin, purpose, or meaning?

Let me know so I can give you the most relevant insight.

Me: I mean the text. is there anything you can decipher?

Chatgpt: Great, I’ll look into what modern research says about the text in the Voynich Manuscript—specifically whether any of it has been deciphered or understood. I’ll review linguistic, cryptographic, and AI-assisted efforts to decode it and summarize current findings.

I’ll let you know what’s known (and not known) about the text as soon as I have a clear picture.

Voynich Manuscript: Decipherment Status and Theories

Figure: Example folio from the Voynich Manuscript’s herbal section, with bizarre plant drawings (Beinecke MS 408, Yale University). The Voynich Manuscript (c. 1404–1438) is an illustrated codex written in an unknown script. It is “filled with puzzling illustrations—unusual plants, constellations, bathing women… and the text itself… is enciphered and yet to be understood”. Despite a century of study, no part of the Voynich text has been definitively deciphered. The underlying language and meaning remain undetermined.

Linguistic and Statistical Evidence

Statistical analyses strongly suggest the Voynich text has real-language structure. Word frequencies follow Zipf’s law (as in natural languages), and words exhibit clustering and morphological patterns uncommon in random strings. Montemurro et al. conclude that the “statistical structure of the text… requires an explanation” beyond random gibberish. In other words, the Voynichese text behaves like an enciphered language. Volunteers asked to write fake Voynich-like text did reproduce some surface features (mixing long/short words, self-repeating “nonce” words), but language models emphasize this alone cannot explain the complex global patterns. In summary, linguistic evidence points to a genuine linguistic or coded message beneath the Voynich script, rather than purely random hoax text.

Cryptographic and AI Approaches

Traditional codebreaking has so far failed. Early 20th-century cryptologists (Friedman, Tiltman, et al.) tried simple ciphers without success. Modern AI and NLP methods have been applied. For example, Kondrak & Hauer (2017) trained algorithms on 400 languages to identify the closest match for Voynichese. The AI surprisingly flagged Hebrew. Assuming an “alphagram” encoding (words written with letters sorted alphabetically), the program found ≈80% of Voynich words in a Hebrew dictionary. A tentative Google-Translate output was a somewhat grammatical sentence (“She made recommendations to the priest, man of the house and me and people”). These results are promising clues but not a translation: the researchers note the output is fragmentary and stress that specialists (including medievalists and Hebrew experts) remain “not convinced”.

Other computational analyses (n-gram models, information theory) likewise confirm the text’s language-like structure but have not yielded meaning. No AI has produced a credible full translation. Some scholars propose using advanced deep-learning (e.g. vision transformers) to link Voynich handwriting to other manuscripts, but this addresses authorship or scribes rather than content. In summary, algorithmic methods so far have clarified that Voynichese looks “real” but have not cracked its code.

Theories on Language, Script, and Meaning

Leading hypotheses include:

• Natural language (encoded). Many experts assume Voynichese represents a lost or coded natural language. Proposed candidates include Latin (or regional Romance dialects), Germanic, Hebrew, or even Turkic. For example, Italian context is suggested by plant images resembling 15th-century Italian herbals and by subtle architectural clues in illustrations. The zodiac pages contain zodiac symbols and Latin month names (e.g. abril, octobre) beneath them. The imagery (herbs, astrological charts, nude women) hints at a compendium of herbal medicine, astrology or gynecology, possibly aimed at educated readers. Recent work even argues that the bathing-women diagrams depict medieval sexology and conception. If Voynichese encodes a natural tongue, it may use substitution, nulls or other ciphers – for instance, one model posits each Voynich word is an alphabetized anagram of a medieval Hebrew word.

• Constructed or ciphered script. Another idea is that the author invented a script and language specifically for the text (like a shorthand or artificial language) rather than using a straightforward cipher of a common tongue. The consistency of the script – with five known scribes copying it error-free – suggests they understood it well. Some hypothesize layers of encipherment or steganography. Crucially, no conventional decoding scheme has been confirmed.

• Hoax or pseudo-text. A minority view is that the manuscript was deliberately fabricated as a meaningless hoax. Experiments show it’s relatively easy to mimic Voynich patterns by inventing words with self-similar prefixes/suffixes. However, the text’s detailed statistical structure (e.g. exact Zipf distribution) is hard to engineer; Montemurro et al. emphasize that such patterns weren’t even discovered until centuries later. Moreover, recent imaging work concludes the manuscript is a genuine 15th-century object, not a modern forgery. In practice most scholars consider the hoax theory unlikely given the evidence of intentional organization.

In short, the meaning of the Voynich Manuscript is usually thought to be esoteric knowledge (herbal/astronomical/medical), but no translation of the Voynichese text has been validated.

Prominent Decipherment Claims (and Critiques)

Over the years dozens of “solutions” have been proposed, but all lack independent verification. Notable examples:

• Hebrew alphagrams (Kondrak & Hauer, 2017): Using AI they reported ~80% of Voynich words match Hebrew roots. However, this produced only isolated words/phrases, and the researchers themselves note the results could be “artifacts of the combinatorial power of anagramming” rather than true translation. Scholars caution that without expert verification the Hebrew find remains speculative.

• Proto-Romance (Gerard Cheshire, 2019): Cheshire claimed the text is written in a lost early form of Latin/Romance by Iberian nuns, describing herbal cures and women’s health. He even published in a peer-reviewed journal. But medievalists heavily criticized this: Lisa Fagin Davis remarked “‘proto-Romance language’ is not a thing,” and other reviewers said his “translation doesn’t make sense”. Cheshire’s supposed decoding has not gained scholarly acceptance.

• Latin medical abbreviations (Nicholas Gibbs, 2017): Gibbs (a non-specialist) published a translation in TLS claiming Voynichese was medieval Latin shorthand. Experts point out he patched together existing plant identifications and produced Latin phrases that mostly fail to cohere. Medievalists noted that his translation is speculative and often nonsensical.

• Old Turkic (Ahmet Ardıç, 2018): A Turkish-Canadian amateur claimed Voynichese is an old Turkic dialect written phonetically, and said he deciphered ~300 words. His work was never peer-reviewed and failed to convince the academic community; a journal rejected his submission.

• Other fringe theories: People have floated languages from Nahuatl to Manchu to Old Cornish (some mentioned in media). These lack credible evidence and are not supported by specialists.

In every case the scholarly consensus remains that no proposal has been independently verified. Claims are often speculative and contradicted by other data.

Summary and Outlook

To date, the Voynich Manuscript’s text is still undeciphered. Every part of the Voynichese script – beyond a few Latin annotations and marginalia – eludes translation. Statistical and linguistic analyses make it clear the text is not random gibberish, but rather an encoded message of some kind. Its illustrations suggest subjects like botany, astrology, and possibly medicine or sex, but the exact content is conjectural. Many hypotheses about its language and code exist, yet none has been proven. Recent advances (e.g. multispectral imaging revealing early cipher-attempt notes, or thematic studies of the imagery) offer new clues, but no “breakthrough” solution has been achieved.

In conclusion, the Voynich Manuscript remains a profound enigma. The most credible view is that it encodes real information in a systematic way, but without a key or bilingual text its meaning stays hidden. Future progress may depend on interdisciplinary methods (advanced imaging, computational linguistics, historical context) to chip away at the mystery. For now, claims of having “solved” the Voynich should be met with skepticism – as one review puts it, “the mystery…still remains to be solved”.

In another round of controversy for the popular streamer, Steven “Destiny” Kenneth Bonnell II is facing a lawsuit regarding his alleged sharing of sexually explicit videos of another person without permission. The lawsuit was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The plaintiff in question, named under the anonymous pseudonym Jane Doe, filed the lawsuit against Bonnell, alleging he broke Florida’s “Sexual Cyber Harassment Statute… and other Florida laws pertaining to the right of privacy, public disclosure of private facts, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress.” The plaintiff is also seeking “injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages” for Bonnell’s alleged “unlawful disclosure and dissemination of intimate images and sexually explicit videos of the Plaintiff.”

The plaintiff, while maintaining anonymity of her legal name, is listed in the lawsuit as content creator Pxie, according to Tampa’s CBS news affiliate WFLA. Pxie announced she would be suing Bonnell back in January, claiming that he “sent pornographic content of me to a random 19-year-old e-girl Discord kitten whom he had never met before, and then she published it to the whole world,” according to Dexerto.

Notice the uh... assets...

He just has a motherly vibe idk why

For a new decentralized, open-source social media website, content creators are way more important than lurkers, especially at the beginning. Here's why:

1. Content creators generate the lifeblood of your platform

If no one's posting, there's nothing for lurkers to lurk. You need creators to build:

Posts

Comments

Discussions

Memes, drama, inside jokes, etc.

This is what gives the platform a vibe—the culture, tone, and appeal that make people want to return.

2. Lurkers follow content—not silence

In decentralized social media, where discoverability and virality aren't always algorithm-driven (like on Mastodon or Lemmy), content needs to exist before users can even decide whether the place is worth hanging out in. If the platform looks empty, people bounce.

3. Open source decentralization relies on community engagement

Unlike corporate platforms with centralized marketing and dev teams, your community is your growth engine. Creators are often your:

First evangelists

Bug reporters

Modders

Community organizers

They set the tone, attract like-minded folks, and give the platform purpose.

That said... lurkers become creators

Eventually, you need both. But at the start? Creators all the way. They’re the spark—lurkers are the oxygen that fans the flames once the fire is already burning.

Follow-up question. What happens when you only have lurkers?

When you only have lurkers, your platform turns into a ghost town with eyeballs. Here’s what typically happens:

1. Stagnation

Without active content creation, the site becomes static. Lurkers come by, see nothing new, and stop coming altogether. It’s a vicious loop:

No posts → no reason to visit → fewer visits → even fewer posts.

2. Cultural flatline

Content creators shape the voice and culture of a site. Without them:

There's no community identity

No norms or inside jokes

No moderation signals or vibe setting It feels cold and lifeless—like an abandoned mall with security cameras still rolling.

3. Failed growth

Lurkers don't invite their friends or share posts. If they do, it’s rare and passive. Growth stalls because there's no activity to amplify.

4. Death by silence

Especially in decentralized social media, silence is lethal. There's no algorithm to "save" you. No corporate content team to fill the gaps. If the node, instance, or site isn’t buzzing, people will move to one that is.

TL;DR:

Only having lurkers = slow decay. Lurkers might like what they see—but if no one’s creating, there’s nothing to like.

Let us all be reminded and stop hating eachother.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

This momentous decree is a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But 100 years later the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later the life of the Negro is still badly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.

One hundred years later the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land. So we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. . . .We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.

We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into physical violence. . . . The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny.. . . We cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?”

We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.

We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their adulthood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating “For Whites Only.”

We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and the Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.

No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. . . .

I say to you today, my friends, though, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I stillhave a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of

Georgia sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream . . . I have a dream that one day in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today . . .This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning. “My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountain side, let freedom ring.” And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountain side. Let freedom ring . . . When we allow freedom to ring—when we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last, Free at last, Great God a-mighty, We are free at last.

A popular OnlyFans model has been found dead in her home, two weeks after her family last heard from her and raised the alarm.

Juli Luxie, 21, was reported missing by her father in France who suggested she was “depressed” and said she was not answering the phone. Police rushed to her home in Essone, France, where they found the young model dead, close to her front door, which was locked from the inside.

Officers who searched the home discovered traces of blood in her apartment home, as well as bottles of nitrous oxide - also known as laughing gas. Juli, also known as Julie Diablotine, boasted around 40,000 followers on Instagram and more on OnlyFans.

Police probing the model's death have launched an investigation into the tragedy. A post mortem is expected to be held in the coming days, with local media reporting she had 'consumed' nitrious oxide in 'large quantities'.

Many of her followers posted messages of support for the young model, as well as her former partner, Jaouad Daouki. He said: “You left without saying goodbye, I always loved you (...) go in peace my heart. I love you.” Their relationship had been controversial when they first met as she was only 16 at the time and he was 33.

One person said: “Rest in peace my Ju, thanks for what you've done for me, to our virtual childhood memories. Flying kisses.” Another added: “May she rest in peace, too young to leave..”

Another said: “I have all my respect for her, I wish her to finally find peace, she was so unhappy so destroyed. To lose her life at 21 years old while she had all the time to rebuild myself. She lost the hope... I can't even find the words may she rest in peace. She was a rose asking to be sprinkled with love and kindness. Leave her now she gone join the stars”

An early version of the Tupac Shakur biopic “All Eyez On Me” included a scene of prison inmates raping the late rapper — an attack that Shakur denied ever occurred.

John Singleton, who was attached as a writer and director on the film before the directing gig went to Benny Boom, wrote a harrowing scene set in a correctional facility — in which several guards allow a group of inmates to assault Shakur.

“The guards usher in one by one about six inmates. Their faces predatory and degenerate. These are the worst prisoners in this facility. One them [sic] licks his lips eyeing ‘Pac,” read script excerpts published by TMZ.

“The guards back away from the door then lock the library. As they walk away we see the six men rush toward Tupac and him fighting them off from the glass in the doorway, the camera pulls away and down the hallway as we hear the horror sounds of the prison,” the script continues.

TheWrap has confirmed it was indeed written by Singleton, with production company Morgan Creek adding that the scene was “one of several versions penned by Mr Singleton while he was working with [us].”

Reps for Singleton declined to comment on the matter. His new FX series “Snowfall,” about the proliferation of crack-cocaine, will premiere July 5.

Before his death in September 1996, Shakur denied he was ever raped in prison. He vented to the Los Angeles Times in 1995 about “watching the media report all kinds of lies about me, like that I got raped in jail. That never happened.”

That denial didn’t keep Mobb Deep (which lost member Prodigy last week) from referencing Shakur being raped in the 1996 diss track “Drop a Gem On ‘Em.” (Read more about their feud here.)

“All Eyez on Me” has earned over $38 million at the domestic box office, on a reported $40 million budget, despite negative reviews.
