Likud and the settlers bare just as much responsibility for Oslo falling apart as hamas. Probably even more so since they funded hamas in the first place.

Would’ve been nice if they did this 80 years ago when they started this whole mess

✅️ France running up huge deficits because it can’t tax the wealthy

✅️ Wealthy obstruct any attempt to make them pay there fair share

✅️ prime minister after prime minister go down trying to fix the financial crisis

☑️ frustrated king president calls the estates general

…

☑️ this guys head in a basket

No, probably Korean incels. They’ve become a real problem recently and have started to become more political.

Not only is natural gas dependence a climate threat to Europe, good luck when the jet stream turns off, but it’s also a security threat. As long as they have to keep paying there main geopolitical adversary billions to keep from freezing in the winter, they will never be truly sovereign.

The leads buried pretty deep:

It was in summer 2020, in the early months of Covid, Zhu says, that he made the decision to leave the US. He cited his disaffection with the direction of the AI community and the hothouse of American politics – both its leftwing brand of campus progressivism and the Trump-era national security crusades. There was also a personal factor. His younger daughter, Zhu Yi, is a figure skater who was recruited in 2018 to compete for China in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

In general he seems more angry at the direction silicon valley ai is going rather then how US politics are going. He thinks larger more traditional explainable statistical models are the way forward as opposed to the black box neural networks and transformers that power llms and most other models in this recent wave.

China is giving him hundreds of millions in grants to pursue those theories, whereas silicon valley vcs probably won’t give him a dime unless it’s got an llm in it and US research grants are drying up in general but especially to Chinese professors.

We actually don’t, the guy wasn’t that progressive and was only advocating for it because the cost of renovating and maintaining that stretch of road was unjustifiable since the dunes constantly migrate and cover it.

The guy was actually more on the right by san francisco standards and got elected fear mongering on crime during the post blm reaction.

He didn’t do it to make waves, the city voted and passed a referendum to close the highway and make a park, he just endorsed the referendum.

It also didn’t delete the ability for people in the sunset or the Richmond to travel, there’s a parallel road a couple blocks inland that is actually more connected to the highway network. People mainly went down the great highway because it was scenic, not because it was the best route.

It was also just a bad road for cars, the dunes on the beach would migrate all the time and the city would have to pay to clean up the sand. It’s better for pedestrians and cyclists who care less about a bit of sand on the road.

fueled by many of the same people who tossed out three liberal school board members and politically progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in 2022. Engardio, a crime victims’ advocate in his first term, supported those recalls and was elected that year to a seat on the city’s Board of Supervisors.

Live by the recall die by the recall

They can’t, the park was created by a referendum by the whole city, which passed last year with the more populace east side voting for it and the more suburban west side, where the park is, voting against. This recall was more about spite from the West siders mad that they lost and that their representative didn’t back them then actually trying to change anything.

In the senate*

Rashida Tlaib has been calling out israels bullshit since day one, and is left of Bernie on a couple other issues like abolishing ice.

IMO, the algorithm is overhyped, and the secret to tik toks success is its scale. If you gave metas algorithm the same amount of data to train on and the same amount of content to recommend, it would be equally as addictive. It might suck at first but give it a couple months and people won’t be able to tell the difference between the old algorithm and whatever oracle creates.

It’s just like chatgpt, given the same set of public data any company with sufficient engineering and compute resources can make there own model that performs very similarly.

In an ideal world we’d have algorithmic choice, like in bluesky sort of, and we could actually compare different ones, but that would cut into the profits of the data monoplies.

Pro tip, put meth in your cigarettes and you won’t even need to think about walking fast, you’ll be too busy thinking of copper piping.

Damn, making it suck even worse to be a fish. even if you’re not dredged up from a fishing net or choke on plastic you now can die from starving because the nutrients that have been coming up from the deep for millenia aren’t any more.

Saw asmongold doing the same to try and get game devs fired for edgy tweets about kirk.

The free speech absolutist side seems really keen on cancel culture when it serves them.

case in point, in reference to some people who made edgy memes on bluesky

The title may be wrong, the article says 35,000 households. Idk what the average household size is but just guessing 2 that would be 70,000 people, about a 10% increase on the city’s population of 780,000.

You have to also consider they’re talking about the city proper, the metro area is around 4 million people and that area probably gained a lot more cars as it’s mostly suburbs.

Thanks for the actual reply.

Also, on the flotilla thing it seems debatable that Israel did anything,

It happened again last night, so it’s pretty unlikely it was just an accident with a flare or cigarette. BBC is also confirming that it was a grenade as they found the casing on the deck. Unless you want to go full skeptic and say they set off a grenade on there own boat for attention, this was most likely Israel.

As for Tunisia, they could’ve just not seen it, if the drone is small enough then radar probably couldn’t pick it up, and its not like they’re actively monitoring the port for drones. Even if they did detect it they may not reveal that because it shows they can’t defend there own airspace. It’s not like they can retaliate or appeal to the UN, especially after Qatar they’ve proven Israel can bomb whoever they want and get away with it.

Idk, looks like a cigarette to me. /s

There was also a manufactured outrage on tik tok of some white girl crying on a plane because she misspoke at the airport and thought she was going “to Nice” and was actually being sent to Tunis AFRICA!!!

Then everyone reacts, calling her dumb and racist and talking about how cool Tunis is, so when you search on tik tok for Tunis, you just get the drama about this instead of war crimes…
