Why would anyone listen to anything said by the man who singlehandedly created Brexit?

destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities

"scuse us while we move some goalposts here ....

and ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future

And suddenly it's not 'Hamas' that's a threat, but 'Gaza'. More moving goalposts, and revealing Israel's real aim: the elimination of Gaza itself. Except, like the Republicans, who constantly have to create a new threat to 'defend' themselves against, after Gaza it'll be the West Bank. And after that it'll be something else ...

The picture is interesting. That particular shade of green is the one that's usually worn (either in a vest or cap) by the legal observers for the protesters. So it looks like the cops may have arrested a legal observer ...

Just to put the timeline straight: Marchan issued the gag order, trump retweeted 10 things that might have violated it, Marchan said that was wrong, trump said he hadn't violated it, Marchan scheduled a hearing. Before the hearing occurred, trump again retweeted ?3? things that might have violated it. Marchan holds the hearing, finds trump in contempt on 9 of the 10 items - it's at this point that trump's retweets are established as mostly violating the gag order.

Today's hearing was in regard to the ?3? retweets made prior to the first hearing. He's getting a fine today because the [comical] argument would've been made that, at the time of those, ?3? retweets (before the first hearing), he still believed his actions weren't in contempt.

I'm not sure if he's done anything since that first hearing that might violate the gag order, but that's when the clock started ticking. And, unfortunately, it only started ticking for those kind of violations. He might decide to try smirking finger-guns next, and argue that he was only just enthusiastically greeting an old friend :/

I hate to refer you back there, but there's a dumpster diving subreddit.

And I don't know what the schedule in the UK is, but here in the States, people are moving out of their dorms for the summer. If the schedule is the same and you can get over to your local university or college or whatever, you may be able to score not just food, but other things that people just don't have the energy/ability to drag home.

A friend of mine used to offer end-of-termers $10 for their mini-fridges, clean them up in his shed over the summer, then sell them to next year's freshers for $40-50. Even if you don't have a car, you might find some small stuff you can clean up and resell.

Aren't we currently sanctioning Russia, North Korea and Iran?

Why do you think DeSantis and Abbott have spent so much effort making their states red hellholes? They're trying to drive out anyone with current liberal leanings, attract more Republicans to their states, and repel potential Democrats from moving in, all in a very determined effort to buy more time for those critical electoral college votes.

Take a long walk in the darkening woods. Sleep in the open on the beach. Go to a bar and get blackout drunk.

“[The Jefferson County Republican Party] have lost money in this. This was meant to be a fundraiser, but now we’ve lost thousands of dollars.”

Oh, no! ... Anyway!

Fucking euphemisms for 'corporate greed'.

 

An affidavit is usually a chronological summary of the facts that establish the probable cause for the search warrant. In this case, the "affidavit" is essentially just the text of the search warrant. It has a small preamble added to it, stating that the police chief has probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. But there are absolutely no facts listed that establish probable cause.

 

Today, the National Institutes of Health launched and is opening enrollment for phase 2 clinical trials that will evaluate at least four potential treatments for long COVID, with additional clinical trials to test at least seven more treatments expected in the coming months. Treatments will include drugs, biologics, medical devices and other therapies. The trials are designed to evaluate multiple treatments simultaneously to identify more swiftly those that are effective.

 

Ex-redditor here, still adjusting to kbin, sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.

Sometimes I run across a post that I just don't want to see again. It's not offensive or inappropriate stuff, so I don't want to block the user or the magazine. It's just sporadic content that makes me angry or depressed and I'd rather not see in my feed when I pop back in a few hours later.

Is there a way in either vanilla kbin or in KDE, to block a post from my feed? Like today, I've popped in maybe four times today, and each time there's some article with a large outraged screaming Trump picture on it and I just don't want to see it. I want a quiet weekend where I can occasionally check in on the news without raising my anger and blood pressure every time I accidentally run across that particular article again.

Edit: just wanted to thank you all for the help - I appreciate it!
