  1. As one of the first official changes: ‘Make the RNC White Again’: GOP Ends Minority Outreach Program WWW.THEDAILYBEAST.COM With Trump allies taking over the RNC and cleaning house, one of the casualties was a minority outreach program that seemed to be working for Republicans.
  2. I've fallen off BG3 with the release of Helldivers 2, but I plan to pick up where I left off in the next couple weeks! I think I paused at the start of Act III with my current build (Dark Urge but good), so still have probably 40% of the game left at my pace, lol.
  3. Honestly I'd rather they just pass a digital info protection law that prevents companies from collecting and using info to push content algorithms onto people.
  4. Also, those Russian "Freedom" legions (the ones that have taken a few towns in Belgorod before) are back in action, are claiming to have internally captured a few Russian towns in Kursk and Belgorod. Not a major threat by any means, more a distraction.
  5. Tesla, rivals get low marks for automated-driving technology WWW.CTVNEWS.CA Tesla's TSLA.O Autopilot and Full Self Driving technology and nine other assisted-driving systems marketed by major automakers received "poor" ratings from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in a new study released on Tuesday. Some of those warnings from Autopilot occurred under one second before crashes, of course.
  6. I can find examples of doctors fondling patients under anesthesia, but that doesn't mean it's an accepted practice.
  7. You have an interesting definition of attack, if a mere correction is considered harsh* *the aforementioned sentence was not meant to impose on any snowflake's sensitive mind, should any offense be taken
  8. And under no proposed or existing solution would she have had surgery or taken puberty blockers in that timeframe.
  9. GOP Rep. Ken Buck to leave Congress at end of next week | CNN Politics WWW.CNN.COM Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, a hardline conservative who has clashed with his own party at times, said on Tuesday that he will leave Congress before the end of his term. Narrowing the GOP majority down to just a few seats.
  10. NHS bans puberty blockers for children WWW.THETIMES.CO.UK Gender identity clinics will be prevented from giving the drugs, which pause the physical changes of puberty, following a public consultation on the issue It appears the ban might only apply to England, and not Scotland or Wales. Monsters. Transphobes of course start with "we just want to ban surgery since it's so invasive, but hormones are okay since they can be reversed later." Then it's "hormones are dangerous." Next it will be "trans people are against the natural order of things." Then violence. The US is already halfway through that scale in many places, and the UK is basically matching them.
  11. Denmark also just announced a $337 million package for Ukraine, with some immediate 155mm artillery shells, and then future supplies of self-propelled artillery units.
  12. Just a moment... WWW.POLITICO.COM $300 million in mostly ammunition (ATACMS, 155mm shells, etc) thanks to "savings" found in previous deals (i.e. they've decided to lower the value of previous drawdowns arbitrarily).
  13. Conservatives launch transphobic campaign against employee at Space Camp in Huntsville WWW.ALREPORTER.COM Several Alabama politicians made social media posts targeting a transgender woman working at Space Camp in Huntsville. The trans employee's crime? Nothing. They haven't done anything wrong or been accused of anything, other than they are transgender. This is 100% a targeted hate movement that is being supported by elected officials, including a US Senator.
  14. This is the stuff that Conan was made for. I love his new career arc, even if it means he's not as well-known. The stuff he is putting out now is great.
  15. Or, if the other guy had Uaarkson in his contact list, then it will make the connection.
  16. And finally: Ukraine’s defence intelligence chief says attacks on Russian ships are in preparation for Crimea operation WWW.PRAVDA.COM.UA Ukraine has undertaken successful attacks on Russian military ships and other Black Sea targets in preparation for a “major operation in Crimea”. I can't imagine any scenario where Ukraine lands significant number of troops in Crimea. They've pulled off commando raids. However, I do believe that if Ukraine managed to enter Crimea at any point in the war, the local population wouldn't be disappointed after the last 10 years of Russian occupation:
  17. Breaking rule for second video above—Ukrainian drone hits target in Belgorod region of Russia. Additionally (and more importantly), video of an Il-76 plane going down over Russia:
  18. Oh the amount of grift that is about to occur will be phenomenal! I can't wait until the stories in Sept, Oct, and Nov (and beyond) about how money went missing, was misspent on family business instead of local campaigns, etc.
  19. Boeing whistleblower found dead in US WWW.BBC.CO.UK Prior to his death, whistleblower John Barnett was testifying against Boeing over concerns about standards.
  20. Russia sacks naval commander after humiliating Black Sea losses WWW.FT.COM President Vladimir Putin fires Nikolai Evmenov and replaces him with commander of Northern Fleet following setbacks There was a large drone attack on this aircraft repair facility over the weekend, Ukraine is claiming to have "critically damaged" another two A-50 planes.
