  1. International Criminal Court files arrest warrants for Bibi and hama's military commander https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2exvx944o Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and former defence minister, as well as Hamas's military commander. A statement said a pre-trial chamber had rejected Israel’s challenges to the court’s jurisdiction and issued warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. A warrant was also issued for Mohammed Deif, although the Israeli military has said he was killed in an air strike in Gaza in July. The judges said there were “reasonable grounds” the three men bore "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war between Israel and Hamas. Both Israel and Hamas have rejected the allegations.
  2. That's just more BUSINESS KILLING SOCIALIST REGULATIONS
  3. If a firms entire growth is attributed to Mark to Market fuckery, youuuu might just be an enron. Microstrategy also recently lost its accounting firm, who said “We are resigning due to information that has recently come to our attention which has led us to no longer be able to rely on management’s and the Audit Committee’s representations,” Mea culpa for that incorrect info, however I still feel strongly that if a companies growth is mainly from Mark to market, you should tread carefully
  4. Who do you think is delaying and denying care? Dude lives for that shit to keep profits up and their customers sick and desperate so they don't move to a new """provider"""
  5. The exuberance around the accounting rule change to count Bitcoin spot price increases as profit is weird, since that's explicitly counting unrealized profits as earnings. Seems like the sort of thing that got Enron in trouble and making bigger and bigger bets that left them ever more exposed to the downside
  6. You are aware of how both of Trump's impeachment trials went, right?
  7. $1.06 in 1998 (when ResE2 came out) is $2.04 in 2024 dollars, and I've definitely bought gas at $2.10 this year
  8. You think that matters? If anything, it serves trumps purposes better to have charalatans in cabinet positions. It's an instant litmus test to see if whoever he's dealing with will kiss the ring and play ball. The more outrageous, the better.
  9. This is a complete misunderstanding of the AT protocol is and how BlueSky works. The idea is that you can take your entire identity, posting history, etc etc, and bring it with you to a new platform - while still communicating and interacting with everyone that you used to. A better way to think about it is that rather than using a locked in platform like AOL instant messenger (Twitter or Threads), this is an open protocol like email. The whole idea is that platforms don't have to host people, and that they aren't locked out of the conversation if they're off a platform. But in setting things up like this, Bluesky is incentivized to build a product that will keep users coming back to their platform, rather than a competitor or self-hosting. If you don't like BlueSky's moderation or algorithm, then you can simply roll your own and use that. Ed Zitron's "Better Offline" had a great episode that got a bit more into that ethos and idea.
  10. In fairness, the leopards are just looking at the menu and ordering. We don't get the first course until Jan 21
  11. If you haven't, check out Black Mesa whenever you wanna replay HL1. There's a big mod project for Blue Shift that im looking forward to
  12. Working class should be called "wage earners" - people who get most of their money from income, not investments or old wealth
  13. Hurricane season is gonna be a fuckin doozie for the next four years

    3D Printing

    Prusa just announced their CoreXY printer, and in true fashion, are offering an upgrade path for Mk4S owners. Temp controlled chamber is a nice feature
  16. https://www.thedailybeast.com/matt-gaetzs-underage-sex-probe-report-released-to-house-ethics-committee/ House Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest (R-MS) revealed Monday that the formal report on their investigation into Matt Gaetz’s alleged misconduct was made available to all 10 members of the committee. According to Politico, only Guest and fellow ranking member Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA) previously had a copy. On Wednesday, the committee is scheduled to meet to discuss Gaetz’s dossier. Guest’s announcement comes amid bipartisan calls from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to release the report’s findings after Donald Trump tapped Gaetz as his nominee for Attorney General. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has pleaded with the committee to keep their findings sealed. The two-year-long ethics probe into Gaetz seemingly ended last week when the former Florida congressman resigned from the House. Since his nomination and resignation, however, a lawyer for the victims of Gaetz’s alleged sexual misconduct has revealed that his clients told the House Ethics Committee that they attended between five and 10 “sex parties” with the former congressman between mid-2017 and the end of 2018. Gaetz has continually denied any wrongdoing.
  17. Well that and Blacklab banned you from the site for continually repeating anti-Ukraine propaganda and derailing in the Ukraine war thread. And you keep making accounts despite that
