Biden calls ICC warrant for Israeli PM 'outrageous'
  • Useless old bastard isn't he?

  • New Jersey man pleads guilty to nationwide conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act by remotely disabling pollution control devices on diesel trucks
  • During the July 20 edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto, Fox contributor Brian Brenberg called for more coal plants as a solution to extreme heat, claiming, “I think most of America wishes the coal plant was still there because… more people could be in a cool environment and be safer.” [Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, 7/20/22]

    Climate denier Patrick Moore, a right-wing media darling who works as a nuclear energy consultant, has refuted the idea that carbon dioxide levels are “getting too high” due to human activity. In 2022, Moore wrote on X, “It has been known since at least 1920 that adding CO2 to greenhouses and even to open air causes a huge increase in plant growth, with no harm caused to plants or animals.

  • Musk, Ramaswamy tell Trump to end "the Covid-era privilege of staying home"
  • You got to love this. The Pentagon just failed its 7th audit in a row. It has a budget of $1tr. And yet the cost savings team decides that penny pinching by making life harder for workers is where the real savings are to be found. Not the giant black hole of finance which is the military industrial complex.

  • New Jersey man pleads guilty to nationwide conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act by remotely disabling pollution control devices on diesel trucks
  • Believe it or not there is a subset of the far right who vehemently believe we are ruining the atmosphere but not pumping ENOUGH carbon into it.

    It's a weird reverso climate change belief. These people blame all the historic hurricanes, wildfires and changing temperature on the completely unfounded idea that humans are limiting their CO2 output.

  • If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?
  • No. And they've said as much.

  • MTG insists Trump win proves she’s not a fringe extremist: ‘I am ‘mainstream America’
  • I used to say that in any situation on any given day, 10% of people are willing to hurt you, 10% are willing to help you, and the other 80% could go either way. I feel like I have to adjust that to 30/10/60 split now.

  • Trump prepares to withdraw from Paris climate agreement
  • Nope they genuinely think that the only reason we're having these weather events is because there's NOT ENOUGH carbon in the atmosphere.

  • Elon Musk joined Trump call with Ukraine’s Zelensky after US election
  • Love watching the oligarchs take over...it's nowhere near as subtle as I thought it was going to be.

    The company will cap hours players can use its GeForce Now cloud gaming service

    Nvidia Joins The Ranks Of Companies Making Their Products Worse - Aftermath

    Nvidia, the company that makes graphics cards you can't afford anymore and keeps vying for status as the world's most valuable company, is taking a page from Xbox's book and announcing a confusing change to its GeForce Now cloud gaming service that includes a monthly cap on the hours you can play games. As many people are saying in the comments to the announcement, maybe it's time to build a PC.

    I will be honest that after writing the lede above I had to look up exactly what GeForce Now is, and reaffirm that it is not one of the many Nvidia things my graphics card installed on my computer. Like Stadia (RIP) and Microsoft's xCloud, GeForce Now can let you stream games your hardware might not be able to support. It has a bunch of tiers, some of which now have new names and new limits.

    Realistically... How fucked is the US?
  • Yep. Look for things to start to look shaky just as he leaves office and then continue to degrade for the following 15 years as the sell off of the world's future in favour of 2026s Q4 results starts taking people's lives.

  • Ukraine, Palestine, Taiwan, anyone affected by climate change oh, and Americans.
  • God this sucks to watch from the other side of the world.

    The “secret” almost certainly involves a plan to install Trump in the White House if he loses the election—but this plan could be even worse than you think.

    Tucker Carlson claims he was mauled by a demon while asleep, leaving claw marks
  • This all obviously ridiculous but... I grew up with a family that 100% believed in spiritual warfare. My parents were more willing to believe my brother was possessed than to believe he needed psychiatric help. My Dad had the church elders pray over me when I had whooping cough, asking God to cast out the demon that had so obviously latched onto my 10 year old lungs. I regularly saw people at my church who would claim to have seen fantastical things.

    Tucker is simply appealing to his base. The mass groups of people who truly believe they are warriors for Christ engaged in a life and death struggle for the soul of the whole world. There are thousands of them and they believe you and I as unbelievers are at best, unwittingly helping the enemy and at worst, willful vessels of the literal devil.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Tucker Carlson 100% believed what he's saying. The groupthink in those circles is difficult to break out of.

    spectrum.ieee.org Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

    These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget... inside their bodies.

    Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

    Barbara Campbell was walking through a New York City subway station during rush hour when her world abruptly went dark. For four years, Campbell had been using a high-tech implant in her left eye that gave her a crude kind of bionic vision, partially compensating for the genetic disease that had rendered her completely blind in her 30s. “I remember exactly where I was: I was switching from the 6 train to the F train,” Campbell tells IEEE Spectrum. “I was about to go down the stairs, and all of a sudden I heard a little ‘beep, beep, beep’ sound.”

    It wasn’t her phone battery running out. It was her Argus II retinal implant system powering down. The patches of light and dark that she’d been able to see with the implant’s help vanished...

    In Castle Rock v. Gonzales, police didn't enforce a restraining order against an ex-husband who kidnapped and murdered 3 kids. The Supreme Court ruled police had no obligation to enforce the order.

    www.fivefourpod.com 5-4

    On the ninth episode of 5-4, Peter (@The_Law_Boy), Rhiannon (@AywaRhiannon), and Michael (@_FleerUltra) talk about a domestic violence case in Colorado that led to the death of three children and a Supreme Court ruling that affirmed a broad vision of police discretion.

    "This is a gruesome case, brought in 2005 by a Colorado woman named Jessica Gonzales. Gonzales had a restraining order against her ex-husband. But when he kidnapped her three children, the police ignored her requests for help. All three children were murdered. The Supreme Court ruled that the police had no obligation to enforce the restraining order."
