A classic DANGER warning sign. It has a red oval above against a black background with DANGER inside it in thick white text. Below in bold black text on the remaining white background it states "THIS MACHINE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METAL AND FLESH. IT CHOOSES FLESH."

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there.

what the fuck is the point of saying this. what conceivable advantage, foreign or domestic, could come of this. of what continued use is Penny Wong, who makes jellyfish look as stiff-spined as a wombat

AUS Foreign Minister Penny Wong's fawning praise of Trump is vomitous. No mention by Wong of the billions of dollars of arms provided to Israel by the USA for its genocide in Gaza? Srsly?! This is abhorrent commentary from Wong. 😔 #auspol #USPolitics #NobelPeacePrize #GazaGenocide

i think Covenant Eyes and the Billy Graham rule solely exist to give sexual predators plausible deniability when they get accused. "how could i have assaulted this woman when everyone knows i never spend time alone with women who aren't my wife"

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Covenant Eyes Cofounder Helps Post Bond for Adult Stepson, Who Is Charged With Felony Child Sex Abuse

In August, Thomas Wideman, an adult stepson of Covenant Eyes cofounder Ron DeHaas, was arrested during a CSAM sting operation.

one treadhead i knew once joked that Ferdinand Porsche should have gotten a Hero of the Soviet Union for all the damage he did to german logistics by his constant revisions to german armor. Yanks and Sovs just made one tank design for each class and most revisions were to make them faster to build.

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

Dave Earley @earleyedition.bsky.social · 1d

An Australian woman who has not agreed to sign a waiver acknowledging she sought to 'illegally break Israel’s naval blockade' on Gaza will be “indefinitely detained” in Israel’s Ketziot prison unless she agrees to sign the waiver.
