Germany slashes Ukraine funding in savings push (www.politico.eu)

Germany, which overcame its initial reluctance to support Ukraine to become the country’s biggest European supplier of military aid, looks poised to change course as the finance minister said the government would slash future assistance by half in order to fulfill other spending priorities....

“Seems to me that there is an effort to try to force me into a statement. Anyone who knows me knows that’s the worst way to achieve a goal with me.”

Because that makes the state a serial killer. In fact, the state has murdered far more people than even the most prolific serial killer.

Whether or not they are innocent is often an afterthought. A way too late afterthought.

This seems like coincidental timing to me. He would definitely have something more severe than just COVID.

Neo-Nazi ‘murder cult' leader plotted for Santa to poison NYC Jewish kids with candy, prosecutors say (www.nbcnewyork.com)

The leader of a neo-Nazi extremist group based in eastern Europe has been charged with plotting to have an associate dress up as Santa Claus and hand out poisoned candy to Jewish children in New York City to sow terror, prosecutors said Tuesday....

Though law enforcement sources said Crooks is believed to have purchased a 5-foot ladder at a Home Depot before the shooting, it does not appear to have been used to climb on the roof and was not found at the scene.

This is a very important detail, ABC! Thank you for providing it!

Will there? Who was asking “did he buy a ladder that day? If so, did he use the ladder?”

Did he also buy a pack of gum and a Snickers? We must know!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think such people don’t need to be catered to. What he did not bring to his assassination attempt is not in any way relevant.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Really? How many times he took a shit that morning was relevant?

I’m sure you’ve decided to troll, so I’m not going to continue this conversation.

Does it if he didn’t bring the ladder with him in the first place? Which he apparently didn’t.

He bought a ladder to divert and mislead people who didn’t know what he was going to do?

Conservative Organizations Are Quietly Scurrying Away From Project 2025 (theintercept.com)

THE MORE PEOPLE learn about it, the more unpopular and politically toxic Project 2025 has proven to be. This has led the Trump and Vance campaign to attempt to distance itself from the effort. Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller now says he had “zero involvement with Project 2025,” despite appearing in a promotional video....

It’s like a political Family Circus cartoon!

“Not me!”

“Not me!”

I’m guessing I’m not the only one who immediately heard Dead Kennedys upon reading that.

I’m also guessing the reasons are similar.

Being aware of what police departments are up to is not an advertisement for Elon.

Consumers getting ripped off by credit card companies is an issue, and if Democrats are smart, they’ll be making a big deal out of this. I doubt they’re that smart unfortunately.

Exactly my thought. Amazing. Our choices are now neocon or fascist. I’m still going with neocon, but it’s just depressing.

The pier wasn’t the worst idea (in theory), but they built it so that it wouldn’t last in stormy seas when the Mediterranean is famously stormy. Also, a better idea would have been to put hard pressure on Israel to open up ground routes, but that didn’t happen.

It does seem to me that you should either have a blanket ban on religious symbols or ways of expression at the game or no ban on one of them.

Personally, I would be fine with either option, although I doubt the former is doable.

Self-exiled.

He was in no danger in China, he just didn’t want to live there anymore and he started badmouthing the PRC when he knew he was safe to do so like anyone who saw how the sausage was made would do. But he still owns plenty of property in China and it’s where he made his fortune.

Shitty ones. If you want to pay for them.

Incidentally, a lot of prisons give prisoners free tablets now. But people in jail often haven’t gone to trial yet, so I guess fuck them?

Selina Cheng said she was “appalled” that her first press conference as HKJA chair was to announce that she had been “fired for taking up this position in a press union”.

Did you not check to see who your boss was first?

It’s China. Unions aren’t worth shit. More evidence of how “communist” China is.

Plastic recycling is bullshit. A lot of recycling is fine- paper, glass, metal, all recyclable. And they should be because we use up way too many trees, way too much sand and destructively mine way too much metal.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Glass is not just used for bottles and some bottles break.

There’s also a crisis right now regarding sand- theweek.com/…/why-is-the-world-running-out-of-san…

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sure. Although I would also suggest that we shouldn’t be drinking so much of what is going into all the bottles- glass and plastic- to begin with.

Navy exonerates 256 Black sailors unjustly punished in 1944 after a deadly California port explosion (apnews.com)

The U.S. Navy has exonerated 256 Black sailors who were found to be unjustly punished in 1944 following a horrific port explosion that killed hundreds of service members and exposed racist double standards among the then-segregated ranks....

Ignoring an injustice forever would be wrong too, wouldn’t it?

We do not do anywhere near enough to acknowledge our racist past. It would do a lot more to clue people in to our racist present.

Good plan. I will do the same. Although you might go back and do it periodically, because the list started a few days ago with only 150 names on it.

You say, “I don’t know, but-” and then you talk about how, for example, there were a lot of guns in the shooter’s home and talk about American gun culture. You use it as a starting point.

Slightly more nuanced. Not so nuanced as what is given above and not so nuanced that “ignorant people” can’t understand it.
