Yup. Black Sabbath is right again.

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor

He's literally paraphrasing Farquaad at this point.

Weren't a bunch of analysis predicting this? The trump administration had apparently requested that Israel strike first to provide a flimsy excuse for firing their own missiles at Iran when the Ayatollah and his gang inevitably retaliates against Israel.

Congrats Cuba on joining the huge and ever-growing list of 'countries Trump is threatening to invade'. Please have a seat between Canada and (checks notes)... Greenland?!

(The whole Greenland things is still and will forever be so ridiculous that it beggars belief.)

"And all it cost was handing over all your sensitive data, firing our entire ethics team, removing the last few flimsy guardrails we still had in place, and a promise that I personally would do ten Nazi sales every day. But the joke's on the Pentagon - we were already wanting to do all that stuff regardless!" -Sam Altman

The utility companies (dil)don't want you to know this cost-saving hack!

Give it another year and when they press 2 they'll get an angry voice yelling at them in English that "'MURICA IS AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY AND ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!! LEARN A REAL LANGUAGE OR GET OUT, LOSER!!"

If Texas Republican voters give the nomination to Ken Paxton and then lose the main election, they thoroughly deserve the loss. None of the GOP candidates are good. But Paxton is a special kind of horrible.

They might think this kind of thing makes them look strong. But they are incorrect.

Anyone with more than a couple of braincells in their skull knows this the sign of an administration that got humiliated and is furiously trying to retaliate out of pure spite.

Either way, Dr Beverly Crusher would be aroused.

So basically: ICE murdered him.

 

The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

Delivering a major blow to President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that he exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency.

The justices, divided 6-3 held that Trump's aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

 

No official announcement yet. But reputable sources are saying it. So let's go!!!!

 

Fantastic job! The ladies prove again that when it counts they are the best women's team in the world! Up The Arsenal!

 
 

Article also outlines our other Academy transfer ins during the Summer.

 
  • Eze had a deal with the spuds basically sitting in front of him, but he always wanted to come home to the Arsenal, with his long-standing love for his boyhood club known to basically everyone.
  • He called Arteta personally before signing the spuds' deal to see if there was a chance of us to come in at the 11th hour.
  • Arteta told him that after Havertz's recent injury action to strengthen the squad further would be taken, that Ebs was a serious candidate, and to hang tight for that afternoon until the board had met.
  • An ecstatic Eze later received a call that not only had the board agreed that Eze should be pursued, but that they had got right on the phone with Palace, and the deal had been finalized.
  • Palace were happier selling Eze to us than to the spuds. Parish (their Chairman) has a good relationship with us. And despite eventually agreeing completely to Palace's demands, the negotiations between Parish and Levy over the Eze deal had left a bad taste in the Palace chairman's mouth due to the fractious nature of the early discussions.
  • Our board's concerns over financial repercussions of us spending too much we put to the side for Eze, with the feeling being that now was not the time to be cautious.
  • Eze himself had spoken with England teammates who play for us and had asked them to put in a good word for him. But in the end that was not needed.
  • Arteta has been growing increasingly enamoured with the idea of bringing Eze in. He was very impressed with Ebs' personality and passion, and felt that he could bring a whole new dimension to the squad.
 

Really hope this works out as I'd love to see him playing for us (again). Sounds very likely now. But if we do pip the shit to him, they'll need to issue a flood warning for the toilet bowl area. The white part of North London is about to be flooded with a deluge of salty, bitter tears!

 

Interesting insights into how Berta's arrival combined with lingering concerns about Sesko's price and readiness caused us to pivot from Sesko to Gyorkeres as the primary frontman target.

 

A new multi-stage malware campaign is targeting Minecraft users with a Java-based malware that employs a distribution-as-service (DaaS) offering called Stargazers Ghost Network.

"The malware was impersonating Oringo and Taunahi, which are 'Scripts and macros tools' (aka cheats). Both the first and second stages are developed in Java and can only be executed if the Minecraft runtime is installed on the host machine."

I keep reading on articles, even those from this year, that Signal has an offline communications ability.

The articles talk about "Signal Offline" as an app. But that seems the same as the main Signal app?

Additionally, is there some functionality in Signal that allows you to connect with nearby users in the event when WiFi and cellular networks are down (like via some sort of a mesh network approach or Bluetooth)?

Edit: Thanks for the information to those who replied.

 

The instance this community moved to is shutting down, and for some reason the voting options didn't include moving the community to lemmy.world. So now it's moving yet again to some other instance.

Given this turn off events, why not just resurrect it here?
