isnt Colombia a signatory of the international criminal court?

If not, I'm sure a judge in Spain is willing to hear the case
Family of Colombian man killed in illegal U.S. strike files human rights challenge
The petition from the family of Alejandro Carranza says the military bombed his fishing boat on when he was sailing off Colombia's Caribbean coast, in violation of human rights

Family of Colombian man killed in U.S. strike files human rights challenge
In a petition to the premier human rights watchdog in the Americas, the first challenge to U.S. military strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats argues that the death was an extrajudicial killing.

for those of a historical bent.

Nero built the Domus Aurea (the gold house). It was torn down immediately on his death and basically forgotten.

why does this parallel to modern times occur to me 😅

he just said Vance is incompetent
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

So, one wonders what the market price for a pardon is these days?
Is it a fixed price or sliding scale based upon the number of years remaining in the sentence?

Its more than just that.

The USA made a promise to defend Ukraines' territorial integrity if they gave up nuclear weapons.
They did....now the USA needs to fulfill its promises
Tell Congress: in the war against Putin’s aggression, there are not “fine people on both sides.”

Stand with Ukraine. Not with Putin.
Tell Congress: Stand with Ukraine over Russia
Contact Congress today!

I guess the courts need to start issuing bench warrants for the AG.
Everything Trumpiggy does starts from the premise: how do we avoid the law/rule. He should be rotting in a cell for all the crimes he has committed and the criminal behavior he has fostered.

For the first time in a very long time, I am considering a merc as my next car
I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

I feel called out here...and there is no such thing as "too many books"
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

More drama from Kenya, one of the family friends got beaten up by her brother (the drunk).

If I had a $1bn I'd be begging the Pratchett estate to let me make witches abroad into a film
Sometimes I fantasize about coming into a billion dollars and going to John Waters and being like Let's make a movie!

in the EU and electric HGV for general use needs to cover 300 miles on a single charge, and then recharge within 30 minutes.

That all has to fit onto the tractor rather than any being on the trailer
First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible.

But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

I'm in Kenya earlier than normal for a very sad reason. My partners' brother has just lost his little boy (3mo old). All we have done since getting here is grieve 😢
Its going to take a long time to get over this

The thing is the tax regime needs a complete overhaul, anything else is like putting a sticking plaster on a tumour
Please see this for what it is 🚨🚨🚨. Increasing NHS fees for migrants goes entirely against the principles of the NHS, and it is also a really dangerous slippery slope for everyone else. We need to oppose this very strongly - www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

I wonder if it has anything to do with the dtrump taxes (tarrifs)

I think k those who are pushing for us to leave the ECHR must be very anti-british. Since the British wrote the damn thing
Sharing this again as today's news programmes seem yet again full of those pushing the obscene suggestion of us leaving the #ECHR
