Anyone else remember the last time this famous German brand “got into the defence industry”?

Is Trump about to bomb Stockholm?

Bête ennuyeuse @mockgod.bsky.social · 4h

That's a change. It's usually in the Israeli media that we see the truth, the boasting, the promises... and only Western media repeats the lies.

It's like, "gross, in that situation I'd not force her"...

Wait! I'd never be IN that situation because Ingrassia is a sexual harasser and I'm not!! Therefore, no solution required.

Fuck me, watta world.

Interesting. I usually am able to find full refund options with B, but AirBnB I've encountered multiple places requesting full up-front payment (plus bullshit $) with no refund option at all. Granted, they may be tax rort properties...

AirBnb seems to be particularly bad with this. Just reading the conditions makes me feel sick at the lack of concern.

Yes, they'll fill the vacancy later... but they're hoping for a double income of course.

I wonder which cheaply AI-designed image they'll use. I'm hoping for one with the little children clustering around him Jesus style.

Insane cost... but otherwise this is cool. Isn't it better to occasionally at least go into an experience blind?

"“I write to confirm arrangements for Chris Hedges to appear at the National Press Club of Australia on 20 October 2025”.

The NPC has absolutely shamed itself.

Seems v much like the NPC was not truthful about its cancellation of Hedges' scheduled appearance on OCT 20.

Rudd had principles.
1. Rudd shall be the whole of the law.
2. Rudd shall blame others, and others shall accept the blame for actions Rudd never actually took
3. Rudd shall not be spoken poorly of, and shall fail upwards
4. The Life and Times of Rudd will be pre-eminently to help Rudd.

In Trump’s sewer of a brain,
child sex trafficking is not a crime.
It’s a relaxing weekend for the wealthy and powerful.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Never forget October 7th 2023, that fateful day when Israelis were brutally massacred by Israeli tanks and Israeli helicopters and Israeli drones and Israeli soldiers and Israeli bullets, and also by Hamas a bit.

Australian citizens have the right to return to Australia. Calling them 'Isis brides' does not change the law. They are Australian.

Surely there is SOME treachery or incitement or something statute that could be used to lock Miller up... and once THAT is accomplished I'm sure he'd be super well-treated.

Considering how high the consequences and how likely an AI will "hallucinate", aka lie, any law firm using AI should be boycotted. Any judge using an LLM to write their opinion (or their intern using one) should result in disbarment. Even the possibility of error should rule it out.

A crack in the AUKUS public relations pressure hull! - Michael West

AUKUS is a hugely expensive Defence project facing considerable and, many argue unsurmountable, hurdles. But does Defence have a Plan B?

I wonder how many hasbarists, or general social media trolls will try to tell us, "What did she expect?" or "She's lucky they didn't execute/xxxx her." or just plain old get off on the idea. Because there is nothing wrong with society at all
