If you look at her Wikipedia page, it uses three different sources for hateful comments in "Russian state-owned media", and nothing dedicated to stuff at home...
There are good reasons against assassinations in many circumstances (adventurism, blowback, Great Man Theory, etc.), but to categorically reject them entirely? Really?
and
are such obvious instances where it's morally right and/or effective.
And the appeal to the conscience of Trump voters is absolutely pathetic.

I've noticed that a lot of new smaller titles are rogue-likes/-lites. Why is that?
As a history fact, Iranian Azerbaijan (which includes the provinces of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Ardebil, sometimes Zanjan province is also included for being majority Azeri) is the OG Azerbaijan, with the modern country of Azerbaijan having historically referred to by other names:
The name Azerbaijan was first adopted for the area of the present-day Republic of Azerbaijan by the government of Musavat in 1918, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, when the independent Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was established. Until then, the designation had been used exclusively to identify the adjacent region of contemporary northwestern Iran, while the area of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was formerly referred to as Arran and Shirvan. On that basis Iran protested the newly adopted country name.
"Even though it's gotten to this point, you [government] plan to do nothing? If things continue like this, sooner or later, Japan will sink. Japan's talented animators and companies will be taken over by foreign companies. They'll be dominated -- exploited. That would be the case."
Said by an episode director, gotta shoehorn some xenophobic projection in there. Ew.
I keep hearing things about this show. Can someone educate me on it?
Also, the author mostly writes about fashion and other frivolous stuff that rich people are interested in. No wonder that people living paycheck-to-paycheck weren't mentioned at all.
He started coding around the clock, tinkering on D.I.Y. software ideas whenever he wasn’t at work, barely sleeping. He doggedly pushed one project after another to the App Store, praying for something to take off. Eventually, one did: an app that let users tune in to police scanners around the world. Then another. Their runaway success took even him by surprise. By the time his peers were splurging on their first West Elm sofas, he was a self-made multimillionaire.
One simple FIRE rule of thumb is to first calculate your target “FI number” by multiplying anticipated annual retirement expenses by at least 25, and then squirrel away as much as possible into interest-accruing or tax-advantaged buckets like 401(k)s, low-fee index funds, certificates of deposit, HSAs and Roth IRAs until you hit that number.
The first quote sounds like religion: sacrifice everything in the here and now and you may enter heaven. The second quote just describes "passive income" schemes that depend on paying less taxes and the stock market, which is highly speculative and relies on actual labourers to do the work that makes these companies so valuable as they claim.
The article mentions three "tomes" of the FIRE movement: one by a former astrophysicist, another one by a software developer. Jobs paying above $100,000 are most common, which is just 6 percent of the US population.
My interpretation of the FIRE movement is that it is an attempt to revive the "American Dream" by telling you to live an ultra-minimalist lifestyle and "hustle" for in most cases more than a decade, and relying on the stock market and tax breaks instead of actually producing things with your own labour. It feels like an ultra-charged version of the capitalist mindset, realising the boot on workers but only caring about saving yourself. It's the ending to 'Ready, Player, One'.
This is what the linked article on "Palestinian press" says about it:
Ottoman period (1908–1916)
Three of Palestine's leading newspapers of the pre-World War I era were Al-Quds (Jerusalem) established by Jurji Habib Hanania in Jerusalem in September 1908; Al-Karmil (Carmel after Mount Carmel) in Haifa by Najib Nassar in December 1908; and Falastin (Palestine) by the cousins Issa El-Issa and Yousef El-Issa in Jaffa in January 1911. These three newspapers voiced Arab aspirations and were all published by Palestinian Christians, showing the early role they played in Arab nationalism. In particular, Al-Karmil and Falastin were opposed to Zionism. It was in this early period that the terms "Palestine" and "Palestinians" were being increasingly used by the press.
These early Arab Palestinian newspapers saw Ottoman Jews as loyal subjects to the empire, but condemned Zionism, and grew fearful of it due to the waves of European Jewish immigrants to Palestine, who built settlements relying on Jewish labor and excluded Arab ones. Thus, Arab editors began a public awareness campaign, warning that once the Zionist project was fulfilled, the Arab majority and their lands in Palestine would be lost. A common theme in the press of this early period is a criticism directed towards the European Jewish immigrants who failed to integrate, or bother learning Arabic. The Arab editors preferred to raise the issue to the public's attention rather than the Ottoman authorities, so that the public can be active in preventing land sales to Jews, which caused Arab peasants' eviction, and their subsequent loss of work.
The readership of the newspapers in this early period was limited, but it had been expanding. Literacy rates were relatively low; however, social centers where created, such as libraries, the town cafe and the village guesthouse, where men would read aloud articles from newspapers and engage in political discussions. "Newspaper breaks" used to take place in some factories. There was also recorded instances of newspapers sending a copy of their newspaper to villages in the surrounding areas, namely Falastin. Articles from Falastin and Al-Karmil were often reprinted in other local papers and national ones in Beirut, Damascus, and Cairo.
It's ultimately a nothing-burger, which makes its featuring on "Did you know?" even more confusing. I couldn't find who nominated it and why, it seems too fresh to be archived so far.
What am I supposed to be looking at? I couldn't find anything of the sort in the edit history. I did find this in the "Talk" page, however:![](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/aad1dce8-efde-4dc9-b8d0-2ff203dba55d.png)
