Whoops, shot in the back, beaten and strapped to a scorching jeep like some kind of human shield. Just another whoopsie by the IDF, but don’t worry, they’ll look into it to investigate how on earth they ended up being cruel to Palestinians.

Which is partly because people don’t have as much money as they used to.

He won’t just ignore it. He’ll do what Ron DeSantis does in Florida and actively pass laws to make it more difficult to do the right thing.

You can’t assume from people voting for one of the only two parties that can win an election, plus the fact that neither party promises adequate action on climate change, that people don’t care. In a first-past-the-post system people often feel forced to vote for a party that is not their favorite and doesn’t prioritize as they would like.

See also: Bush vs Gore (though Republicans still had to cheat to win) and Bush vs Kerry. One candidate makes intelligent, considered points while the other throws out cheap bullshit soundbites. The bullshit soundbites guy wins the election every time.

What if the antisemites… lie?

I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.

Some patients are spending a year and a half in hospital isolation receiving old medicines instead of just six months of treatment at home, because countries do not have access to the most up-to-date therapies to cure people of the infectious disease.

If it’s a question of cost, then keeping someone in hospital for a year and a half surely has to be more expensive than just buying the drugs.

It’ll make the sea nice and thick.

So we don’t have to go to that site:

I wouldn’t expect it to benchmark well, but it’s good that they’re making this available so developers can explore RISC-V on a good quality platform.

They’re letting one run for President too.

If you follow the link to the article you’ll see it’s Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL.

Joke’s on them: three times my raise is still zero.

It is the first time that no money will be allocated for arts and culture programs by the state.

Republicans are well on the way to building their dream theocratic wasteland.

It could make a good comedy.

He notes that now most Americans don’t expect to be “better off in five years” — a record low … Four in five doubt that life will be better for their children’s generation than it has been for theirs, also a new low. And … support for capitalism has fallen among all Americans, particularly Democrats and the young. In fact, among Democrats under 30, 58 per cent now have a “positive impression” of socialism; only 29 per cent say the same thing of capitalism.

This is bad news for Sharma as a strong supporter of capitalism. What has gone wrong? Sharma says that it’s the rise of big government, monopoly power and easy money to bail out the big boys. This has led to stagnation, low productivity growth and rising inequality.

It’s painful watching capitalism’s faithful trying to figure out where their magical system went wrong and why its results aren’t benign. None of what’s happening surprises capitalism’s critics or the cynical exploiters who still benefit for now, but its loyal cheerleaders keep cheering even as their lives, societies and planet fall apart and a voice in the back of their mind wonders, “why doesn’t this feel good?”

A court in Amman sentenced Hiba Abu Taha, a Jordanian investigative journalist of Palestinian origin, to a year in prison on 11 June, one month after her arrest for revealing alleged trade links between Jordanian and Israeli companies despite the war in Gaza.

Ah, so they want to continue trading with Israel while not being held responsible for trading with Israel.

Jordan has seen a surge in harassment of journalists, including arrests, censorship and intimidation since December 2023. Those targeted have included journalists covering demonstrations in support of Gaza or revealing information concerning relations between Jordan and Israel, and the harassment has been carried out under the cybercrime law in particular.

Add Jordan to the list of countries where it is strangely forbidden to criticize Israel no matter what Israel does.

It’s surprising how often “pro-life” people turn out to be pro-choice when pressed a little on the realities of people’s lives. They seem to maintain the pro-life stance only through a refusal to think about difficult situations - which makes no sense since the whole debate is precisely about difficult situations.

And they commonly just don’t seem to understand what pro-choice means. They think it means being someone who just loves abortions and thinks they’re great and unproblematic and everyone should get one. They don’t realize there are no such people, because they’ve never actually asked and listened, or given it any thought.

The last Windows that had any MS-DOS in it was Windows ME, a quarter of a century ago. Everything since then has run on the NT kernel.
