It's not credible that many pets are being abducted and it's ridiculous what a big deal Trump and Vance have made about the rumors. However, "the migrant crisis in places like #Springfield are just the latest chapter in a long line of abuse from the powers that be in Washington
— whether the shutting of factories and the shipping of jobs overseas, an open border that has welcomed a fentanyl crisis killing tens of thousands annually
Any local who notices the pitfalls of resettling 20,000 Haitian migrants in a city of just 60,000 is labelled a racist."
"these widespread reports of animal abductions represent: a clash of cultures foisted on them against their will; an influx of tens of thousands of migrants making rents unaffordable..." mercatornet.com/_they_re_eatin…

BREAKING: Rep. Matt Gaetz is set to be next to be expelled from the House Image
Former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Rep. Matt Gaetz is going to be the next George Santos. Image
in 2023, The House of Representatives voted 311-114 to expel New York Republican George Santos.

Santos was accused by prosecutors of a number of financial misdeeds, including reimbursing himself for loans to his congressional campaign that he appears to have never actually made — in essence, stealing money from campaign donors.Image

Submit your proposals for Interop 2025 📢



#Interop2025web.dev/blog/interop20…
My favs so far:

• Navigation API:
• Web Share API:
• Vibration API:
• Fullscreen API:
• Notifications API: *

* shameless self-promotion :)github.com/web-platform-t…
github.com/web-platform-t…
github.com/web-platform-t…

github.com/web-platform-t…
Regarding my Notifications API proposal: I think this is an important one. For the web to have a chance to take on walled-garden native apps, support for web push needs to be excellent (and it isn't, right now)

So I guess I'm asking for 👍's :)

Anybody claiming self-amplifying RNA is not potentially disastrous doesn't understand how it works. Ahem.
Here are my slides for Japan. @ics6tokyo
"Is the risk of recombination with endogenous RNAs going to be assessed? How?”

before you consider the following you must form an opinion on Federal Reserve Neo Wicksell monetary policy implemented by Woodford Jackson Hole 1993 policy.
know what that is fully, then proceed. otherwise I will just be a waste of your time if you read more.
it is obvious now that considering not only the the economic response to the Federal Reserve raising Fed Funds from 0% to 5 3/8%, now 4 7/8%, but also the last decade from adoption of Neo Wicksell, the Fed has had no impact on inflation.
this is very very serious statement that threatens the foundation of the US financial system. all will agree that controlling inflation is one of the most important duties of the Fed and why it is provided, by Congress, such powers.

This is the problem.

People continue to think CPC’s behaviour is to cause an election.

It’s not.

For the past two years PP and CPC have been undermining Canadian democracy by attacking LPC and PMJT with false accusations. After the Ottawa occupation, LPC negotiated with NDP.
NDP got their requested policy. What did LPC get? They got to deliver policy promised during the 2021 campaign for the federal election.

Not just LPC policy, but also some NDP policy.

What was happening in committees during LPC’s 2nd term?

CPC was obstructing ALL policy.
They also got time to investigate the convoy and Coutts.

How likely do people think the Coutts 4 convictions would have been if there were a federal election? We already saw Smith try to interfere with Pawlowski’s trial. Convoy supporters consider Coutts 4 political prisoners.

16 ways to monetize Directories:
1) Affiliate links.

I sign up for all of them and place the links.

For example I have one on for @marc_louvion shipfast and it generates me passive income every month. nextjsstarter.com
Image
2) Sponsors.

If directory has over 1k/mo traffic, there will be demand from sponsors to place their brand on home page.

There are few ways to find sponsors: social media, outreach and more.
I've shared more on these in my "Directory Guide".

if the situation escalates further, Israel will not begin with a ground invasion immediately. that’s where some of its advantage is blunted. it will soften targets through (a) precision strikes on Hezbollah positions and (b) punishment strikes in Hezbollah strongholds.>
>it has been collecting precise intel on tgts. it won't get to everything but it will be able to degrade much. the US will help it provide with anti-missiles umbrella to limit damage from Hezbollah missile strikes. the ground incursion, when it comes will be shallow and leapfrog>
>my own sense is that after the degradation, when the ground offensive begins, its immediate objective would be to clear the area of Hezbollah positions and infrastructure south of Litani River. that’s the buffer they need to bring people back to the northern settlements>

Eight killed, fifty-nine wounded from the Israeli strike on Beirut today.
Netabyahu wants Hezbollah to attack Israel so he can have carte blanche, unlimited supply of weapons to flatten Beirut and the South and active US intervention. Hezbollah won't give him this. But we have to expect Netanyahu escalating every day from now until the US election.
The Biden administration has been a disaster in this war. It was milked by Netanyahu to the max, willingly, because they never had the courage nor the will to do anything about the catastrophe in Gaza.

The Government of Israel is arguing the complementarity principle denies the ICC jurisdiction. Does it? Come with me to a short walk through Israel's (in)ability and (un)willingness to investigate and prosecute allegations its combatants or leaders have committed war crimes >>
Let us begin with the normative framework. Does Israel have the legal basis to investigate and prosecute for war crimes? Well, Israel has not incorporated to its law the full gamut of crimes listed in the Statute of the ICC. For example: >>
One of the crimes the ICC prosecutor is alleging against Netanyahu and Gallant is "Starvation as a method of warfare". Well, there is no such crime in Israeli law. So how will it be investigated let alone prosecuted? >>
