The contracts will cover not only the sale of 50 new aircraft to be produced by Boeing.
Hopefully they fall apart like some of Boeing's other planes.
That's perfect timing for me, I just got my hands on a Pico 4 last week. Well, I really hope they open sales to the American market to make buying one easier but I understand if they don't. I'll get one in a year or two regardless because I am loving the Pico 4 for SteamVR already. The experience is great, it was easy to get PCVR working, it doesn't hurt to wear for a few hours, the visuals are great. Sure, the price was a little more than a Meta set but I didn't have to create a Facebook account to use it which is worth the cost for me.
This
Despite the threats of deportation if he reported the incident, the victim immediately contacted the Irvine Police Department.
“Lankford thereafter spoke with an IPD officer and falsely claimed that he had been at Victim 1’s home for a legitimate law enforcement purpose, that Victim 1 consented to all parties being in his home, and that no force was used,” the release said.
and this
The defendants were hired by an “unindicted co-conspirator” to coerce the man into signing away almost $37 million in cash and shares of a Chinese business the unindicted co-conspirator and the man owned together that were worth an additional “tens of millions of dollars,” the release said.
are what get me. All it took to get away with it for 5 years was a cop involved in the raid calling another cop. No investigation, no more questions, nothing after that. Was it incompetence? Corruption? Whatever it was, it's a load of horsecrap. And the unindicted co-conspirator, why isn't she getting charged, too? I just don't get it.
She then claimed that if people would take a moment to try to “understand…the context” of her husband’s comment and focus less on the “three-word phrase,” they would understand that he was simply arguing that “it can be really hard to be a parent in this country, and sometimes our policies are designed in a way that make it even harder.”
Our policies. Policies like being against school lunches? Like voting against a child tax credit? Like not supporting or opposing funding for childcare? Like opposing paid parental leave? I don't know, it sure feels like some folks in particular have made it their goal to continue hardships for parents and children.
Maybe Boeing should have thought of that before making poor decisions. It should learn a little something called personal responsibility and if it goes broke, well, that'll be a shame. Anyway!
"Price said she learned police had visited the home at least five times within the past year. "The landlord even told [police] she had new tenants," she said."
They knew and they went for it anyway. Typical.
In February, far-right settlers went on a rampage in the West Bank town of Huwara torching dozens of houses and cars. Following the violence, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for Huwara to be “wiped out”.
Hmmm, I wonder what happened to the people rampaging in the town.
The IDF said in a statement to CNN that dozens of Israelis had “desecrated Palestinian property” and “acted violently against Palestinian residents” on February 26, but only several were arrested. All were released without charges.
Not surprising, Netanyahu was facing fairly large protests against his authoritarian actions before the war started. Protests against Israel’s judicial overhaul kick off at Supreme Court a day before crucial hearing. This was 11 September 2023, just 3 weeks before the war escalated.
I found this interesting article when trying to understand why he's doing what he's doing with Twitter. What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? - NBC News
On the day that public records revealed that Elon Musk had become Twitter’s biggest shareholder, an unknown sender texted the billionaire and recommended an article imploring him to acquire the social network outright.
Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the 3,000-word anonymous article said, would amount to a “declaration of war against the Globalist American Empire.” The sender of the texts was offering Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, a playbook for the takeover and transformation of Twitter....
The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”
That pressure campaign is against the Anti Defamation League which Musk has been trying to do.
So I guess he's doing it all for far right adulation.
“A thing about campaigns is sometimes you just do things for the lolz,” Rob Flaherty, a deputy Biden campaign manager, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of the decision to join Truth Social.
This guy knows what's up.
Just holy shit.
Judge Lawrence Flood ruled Thursday there was probable cause for the officers to fire their weapons, and that "The officers are not the aggressors."
- Unmarked squad car rolls up on two guys
- One of two thinks it's gang members, raises hands, one hand has wine and cell phone other hand is empty. Other guy(with gun)runs.
- Cops start blasting
- Running guy shoots back
- Unarmed guy gets shot by cops
- Police lie by saying both guys shot at them first *Video shows that cops lied
- Cops on trial
- Cops acquitted "The officers are not the aggressors."
- Cops now seeking back pay since they weren't paid while on trial
It sure looks like the cops were the aggressors to me.

This is the latest in a 14 part investigation that started in May 2024 and just wow. The story gets more insane and unhinged with each part that's released.
