Can’t get past the paywall but I hope India will see a better future with a leader who cares for all its people.
I lost some, I won some.

Ransomware suspending hospital operations? That’s an actual horror story…
We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.
Regnier still works from home one to two days a week, and has been even more lenient with Santander’s 19,000 UK staff, with office-based workers only expected to be onsite two days a week.
“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier says from his sixth-floor office near Euston station in London. “And, actually, had it not been for Covid, I wouldn’t have accepted this job, because I wouldn’t have wanted to be away from home five days a week in London. That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”
This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague
Nobody should be paid that much but he’s an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.
Biden’s older than a Boomer though, he’s Silent Generation. (Trump is on the older end, but indeed a Boomer.) I’m curious if you’ll ever have a Gen X president some day, but it’s not really generation that matters so much as having someone of reasonable intelligence who has empathy and integrity instead of yet another power-networking fundraising wizard.
I’ve been meaning to look into the history of how the secular left was crushed in much of the Middle East. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, because a stern talking to will make all the difference, when they’re already attacking people there either way.
Never even mind how at first I somehow thought the headline stopped before “until,” and continued at Biden. 🙄
Or that (if I’m not mixing events in my head), only 4 of the 22 killed in that attack were even adults.
Yeah that phrasing was especially egregious.
India and Israel are just farther along on the same path we’re on in multiple countries in the West. Fascism feeds off the rising inequality and exploitation of Capitalist excesses. It could easily have barrelled ahead further here first if dominant groups here were any less accepting of cultural differences (we could still do better, but we’re at least at the bare minimum of civility) AND if we weren’t as religiously unaffiliated and/or atheistic*.
(*This is not a knock at spirituality. I only say this because another calling card of fascism is for the dominant local culture’s religion to be contorted into its absolute worst, most corrupt possible form so it may be weaponized in whipping up monstrous sentiments towards scapegoated outcast groups.)
With all the Jeff Taylor farmers’ revolt garbage that get pushed at my father on Youtube (even though the content he actually chooses has never been like that), I was expecting this to happen for a while now. We’re not in Europe ourselves, but the media onslaught by certain interests has clearly done its job.
Without careful, organized action by regular citizens, this will be treated as yet another opportunity for the wealthiest high rollers to shore up assets-- especially since they’ve long had the power to adjust markets to their whims.
The “desk” appears to be random limbs of other humans. Also, it looks like her game then is somehow taking place in a kitchen that’s on its side?
If you connect to the wrong tower, can’t they get IMEI info? That won’t include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).
They do pop out sometimes in winter, but isn’t the set of prints in each clump too wide to be squirrel tracks?
If they were just verbally protesting their presence and not committing assaulting I’d understand as there are legit reasons for Jewish people not to like Christian Zionism… but the Israeli state finds them politically convenient I guess, so of course they let it fly. 🙄
To be fair, the pope condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza as well. Fundamentalist evangelical Christian Zionists have more financial and media power than others though, I imagine, and many others are just plain silent.
Yeah I saw that and I was like “What, again? Why now?” Then I saw the comments. 😅
This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).
