JetBlue pilot calls incident ‘outrageous’ and says US military refueling tanker didn’t have transponder turned on
Au Chili, victoire du candidat d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast, 35 ans après la fin de la sinistre dictature de Pinochet. Anti-IVG, homophobe, anti-migrants, il a fait campagne sur la promesse d'expulser massivement des réfugiés vénézuéliens et d'opérer des coupes budgétaires. Il a fait ses armes auprès d'un conseiller de l'ancien dictateur chilien. Une prise de pouvoir tout à fait légale, donc. Enfer...

‘Depraved Response to a Depraved Act’: Netanyahu Blames Attack on Australia Recognizing Palestine
“This is an atrocious downplaying of real antisemitism at a time when rampant #Jew hatred is killing people,” said an American congressional candidate and school shooting survivor.

“Obviously massacring unarmed men, women, and children at a #Hanukkah celebration is #antisemitic terror,” Nathaniel added in a separate thread. “Just like massacring unarmed men, women, and children in Gaza and the West Bank is anti-Palestinian terror. There are no moral exceptions regarding the slaughter of civilians.”Electronic Intifada director Ali Abunimah said, “Basically #Netanyahu is saying that #Australia got what it had coming for not supporting his genocide in #Gaza even more than it already does.”

Apparently, Rob Reiner has died. ...Rats, not Meatloaf!
*The other Meatloaf. The OG Meatloaf.
*Someone has very kindly pointed out (via PM, so extra kind) that the character Reiner played on All In The Family was nicknamed "MeatHEAD," not "MeatLOAF."
I have low-key resented the singer for that all these years, so my apologies to the true Mr. Loaf.
Remember all those Telegram chats leaked from high-ranking leaders of the Young Republicans—praising slavery, Hitler, and the Nazis? Last night was the NY Young Republican Club's Annual Gala They hosted 20 of the far-right AfD Nazi leaders, inc the Nazi deputy co-chair, who was the guest of honor

A band I grew up, and man... Ran Benson's voice is just magnificent. And I think the fact that a Jewish kid, from Philadelphia that went to Antioch... became the modern incarnation of Bob Wills... is just perfection.

»Und der Deutsche hat immer noch nicht – auch nach vier Kriegsjahren nicht – begriffen, daß der Apparat jeglicher Art doch nur ein Hilfsmittel ist, eine Maschine, die den Fortgang erleichtern soll, ein Mittel, aber kein Zweck.

To bardzo ważny proces (trwający od dłuższego czasu), który charakteryzuje się przede wszystkim porzuceniem naiwnej globalizacji, w której właściwie wszystko można kupić wszędzie, więc nie trzeba nic produkować w ramach własnego bloku.
Czym to się kończy pokazały rosyjskie szantaże paliwowe oraz chińska, bardziej dyskretna ale niemniej bolesna, polityka eksportowa surowców ziem rzadkich czy nasycanie unijnego rynku chińskimi urządzeniami dla infrastruktury krytycznej z potencjalną możliwością jej zdalnego wyłączenia w razie konfliktu.
Główny konflikt wewnątrz UE w tej sprawie przebiega na linii pomiędzy unijnymi producentami i instytucjami zarządzającymi ryzykiem, a importerami, dla których cena zakupu jest jedynym czynnikiem a jak ich urządzenia przestaną działać… to nic, będzie okazja sprzedać kolejne.

A vintage poster promoting swimming in safe and pure pools, utilizing a stylized, graphic art style. The poster features a person with dark skin depicted in profile, partially submerged in water, with one arm raised in a dynamic pose. The background is a swirling pattern of white representing water, and the person’s body is a solid, rich brown color. The bottom portion of the poster includes a dark brown rectangular space with white text.
The text on the poster reads: SWIM FOR HEALTH IN SAFE AND PURE POOLS. There is also smaller text at the very bottom that states: CLEVELAND DIVISION OF HEALTH - FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION '40. A small mark reading "WPA Art Project" is at the top left of the image. The overall aesthetic is simple, bold, and reminiscent of the 1940s.

#Detroit - #ICE agents arrest man after using ruse to get him out of coffee shop
eu.detroitnews.com/story/news/…
The man was a cook at Crumbs & Coffee. The man was arrested Friday morning between 10 and 11 a.m. after ICE agents visited the coffee shop, pretended to be customers and hung out for an hour. After another agent arrived, they claimed to have hit a car in the parking lot and summoned the workers outside. The man was suddenly handcuffed and taken away.
