This is going to sound crass, but what law(s) is Andrew accused of breaking? She was over the age of consent in London, and whatever government has authority over Rape Island presumably sets consent at somewhere under 18 (because most of the world does).
Before I get yelled at, I know she was trafficked like a modern day slave. I know she was traumatized. Just curious about the law in this particular case.
Andrew's sweating (lol) the thing and his own mother kicked him to the curb. So what have they got on him? Why wouldn't he come out and say, "Yes, we had sex. But it was consensual and she was of age. I now realize... bla, bla, bla."

I doubt it's specifically intentional in this case, but the narrative has been guided to imply that the IDF only has prisoners and that hamas only has hostages. It's more likely just lazy journalism that is rampant. My headline would have been:

CDC walks back hundreds of firings as U.S. shutdown persists
In the second week of the U.S. government shutdown, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified some 1,300 employees they would be laid off — then rescinded hundreds of those notices within hours, a person familiar with the matter said.
The Trump administration is set to lay off entire offices and hundreds of CDC workers as part of mass job cuts during the federal shutdown, four sources told Reuters on Saturday.
A crowd-sourced list from CDC employees, reviewed by Reuters, suggested several units, including the entire Washington office, were targeted for termination. Two sources within the CDC and two at other health agencies confirmed the list’s validity.

Nobel Peace Prize probes insider trading on Polymarket
Organizers of the Nobel Peace Prize, which announced its winner as Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, have been alerted to unusual betting activity favoring Machado as the winner.
The potential insider trading happened on Polymarket, a decentralized predictions marketplace that hit international headlines during the U.S. presidential elections in 2024. Users on the platform can place bets on various events, including politics, sports, and markets.
Odds of Machado winning on the predictions platform had jumped from under 2% to well over 70% in the hours ahead of her victory.

In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement on Thursday that both Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City.
The scope of the arson perpetrated in Gaza City on the night of October 9th and early morning of October 10—Thursday night into Friday, just after the ceasefire was agreed to but before Israel’s cabinet approved it—was broader than at any other time Drop Site has tracked during the assault on the

Winded windows become a privacy nightmare?
It was the switch to Microsoft accounts. Everyone started using online accounts to login and when people complained apple said “okay, you don’t need to and here’s some ways to make it safer” after some high profile leaks, google said “we’ll anonymize your data so when we use it for tracking it’s not tied to you, also here’s some ways to make it safer” after everyone realized they weren’t not being evil and Microsoft said “are you fucking stupid? It says right there in the tos that we’re gonna take and use everything!”.
Go to massgrave.dev and start reading. Convert your Microsoft account to a local user account. You will still have a Microsoft account but you won’t use it to login. You will lose access to stuff you bought under your Microsoft account until you sign in. This may or may not be acceptable to you.
Use your knowledge from massgrave to convert your windows edition to enterprise iot ltsc if you’re on 21h2, otherwise either downgrade or flatten and reinstall that edition. You will now be able to receive security updates and stay on windows 10.

Ukraine War Leads to Global Shortage of TNT | (Global = Western)
TLDR
- The US is facing a severe domestic shortage as it has no active TNT production plants and its traditional supply lines have been cut.
- Poland was a primary supplier to the US but is now diverting most of its production to Ukraine for its war effort, reducing exports.
- Ukraine is consuming all of its own domestic production and imports from allies like Poland for its military, leaving none for export.
- Russia & China: Have completely stopped exporting TNT to the US, cutting off two other major former sources.

Poland had been the Pentagon’s sole authorized supplier of TNT. But it has been sending much of what it makes across its border to Ukraine, which is using all that it produces for its own military purposes.
That's crazy. I wonder how long would the MIC be able to sustain a hot war if the EU and PRC stops exporting production to the US.

Funny. Normally we call people selling these kinds of products criminals and attempt to shut them down. Turns out those naughty lads were just going about it the wrong way. They should have gone public, floated the company and sold for dollars instead of bitcoin, and suddenly everything would magically have been just fine.
It's a neat trick, and it works for other unsavory things normally not allowed too: "Unregulated militias and arms trafficking" becomes a "PMC", "kidnapping and slavery" becomes "prison services" etc.
