I disagree - Mexico is a Rome statute signatory, meaning that (theoretically) they're legally obligated to arrest Putin on arrival as the ICC has issued a warrant for him

Afaik their diplomatic neutrality wouldn't override their legal obligations

31 of the 38 people who helped write or edit the project served in some manner in Trump’s administration or transition

Project 2025: inside Trump’s ties to the rightwing policy playbook

Some more extracts:

Roberts, the Heritage leader, has said he met with Trump several times and they were friendly. Trump gave the signature speech at a Heritage conference after Roberts took over the foundation. When Roberts was tapped for the role, Trump said he would be “so incredible” and “outstanding”.

Paul Dans and Steven Groves co-edited the project, which includes chapters on federal agencies written by former Trump officials, allies or other conservative experts. Both Dans and Groves served in multiple roles in the Trump administration. Another big contributor to the project is Russ Vought, who Trump appointed as director of the Office of Management and Budget.

I put my steel in the fridge and it's completely dried out now

Granted, it wasn't very wet when it went in

That's not actually a viable solution though, in the same way as "deleting Germany" wasn't a viable resolution to the second world war.

Their citizens won't just magically disappear, forcibly displacing them would constitute a war crime, and transferring ownership of the entire region to a Palestinian state is just setting up the dominoes for civil war and extending the instability and suffering in the region.

My last job had not one, but two programming languages they had created in house over the last couple of decades.

One of them was the primary development language for the whole corporation.

Brics doesn't even have a centralised currency of any form lol.

For it to have the world standard currency, the bunch of systemic competitors that make up brics (almost all of which have at least some major cause of friction with at least one of member) to:

• agree on a name, design and production strategy that every single member is happy with
• have a centralised bank somewhere that is controlled by some (presumably inter-state) entity
• have all members adopt that currency as their primary currency, phasing out their existing state controlled ones
• have the currency be more stable and commonly accepted than USD

Only then can it even really begin to start being a world currency

Frankly, I don't think there's nearly enough cooperation within the group to even start making steps toward a common currency for decades

To be fair, they did make a post with an intentionally incorrect title

As far as I'm aware, twitter has actually been a lot smaller in terms of users than you might imagine from its influence.

It has a relatively low number of active users, but the fact it's designed to be a centralised public forum (rather than users being selective who can follow them like Facebook) means it is/was very attractive for businesses, celebrities and politicians.

I think that's exactly the point they're making

But they can't extend it longer than the shortest ads, since then it'll affect users after they watch ads too, which kinda defeats the point

It casts him as a 3-D-printed “ghost gun” enthusiast, a practitioner of the martial art of Krav Maga, a seasoned lock picker, and perhaps even “immune” to pepper spray.

They couldn't make him sound cooler if they tried
