Libya remains fractured since the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, with rival administrations and armed factions competing for power.
A protest against Libya's Government of National Unity took place in Tripoli on May 16. Senior officials, including the deputy prime minister and several ministers, resigned after the killing of a senior commander in the Stability Support Apparatus in a clash with a militia loyal to the prime minister.

Secret Service pays a visit to James Comey about the '8647' seashell threat
The U.S. Secret Service reportedly paid a visit to former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey over an image he posted on social media that many took as a threat against the president.
Secret Service agents escorted Comey to their Washington field office in Washington, D.C., on Friday for an interview, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to CNN. Comey was questioned about allegations that a message reading "8647" was a call for violence against President Donald Trump, the 47th president of the U.S.
'We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI director, and we take rhetoric like this very seriously.'
Comey posted the image of a number of seashells arranged to spell "8647" on Thursday, but he later deleted the post and claimed that he did not intend to advocate for any political violence.
The former FBI director appeared voluntarily for the interview and was not in custody, according to the CNN report.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi released a statement about the incident.
“The Secret Service vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees,” said Guglielmi to CNN. “We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI director, and we take rhetoric like this very seriously. Beyond that, we do not comment on protective intelligence matters.”
Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem and current FBI Director Kash Patel issued statements saying that the Comey seashell threat would be investigated.
The president also lambasted Comey in a comment on Fox News.
"He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant? That meant assassination," said Trump to Bret Baier.
"And it says it loud and clear," Trump added. "Now, he wasn't very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant, and he did it for a reason. And he was hit so hard because people like me, and they like what's happening with our country. Our country's become respected again. And he's calling for the assassination of the president."
The term "86" has been in use for more than a century and could refer to the action of taking something off of a menu at a restaurant, but more recently it has also included killing something or someone.

I found a *local* computer store that can assemble a custom laptop for me OUT OF REFURBISHED PARTS.
It's perfect. I'm not telling anyone to manufacture more computers. I'm telling the used market: you rock, keep it up.
And I get an OLED display.
(I'm fairly certain they took me more seriously when I said was going to be put Linux on it, so pro tip?)

It's not about the cat... a red herring fallacy to adults reading it, and a coping mechanism for a very lonely kid.
... it's about exclusion.
