Confirmed dead as of 4:47PM EDT.

Big Bang Theory, and all 'reality' shows.

Yeah well look at what's happened to Ukraine after they gave up their nukes. Basic logic.

They took an oath to defend their nation against all threats, foreign AND domestic. "The bare minimum" they must do is to physically go to the doors of department buildings they are supposed to have authority over, accompanied by armed police or guards willing to back them up, and demand entrace.

Make no mistake, the first punch or shot MUST be from the DOGE/GOP/MAGA fascists, if they fail to back down... but the issue must be FORCED otherwise they win by default. IFF fascists first take the step to violence, then the response must be 500% right back at them, or THEY WIN BY DEFAULT.

.. although Israel is not one of the council's 47 voting members and did not always attend meetings

Sounds like they weren't 'engaged' all that much in human rights in the first place then anyways, so whatever.

Except for that one billionaire's son who was likely coerced into going with Dad and didn't fully understand the risks ... :( but otherwise, - yup -

If the research was government-funded (eg. Universities) why doesn't the government get the patents in the first place? That would help cut such shenanigans off at the knees.

It's great stirred into plain or vanilla yoghurt for breakfast. I think that's in fact the "traditional European" way it's eaten?

Or at least at nearly every Bed & Breakfast in western Canada that tries to be "Victorian" :)

I like GOP candidates who don't get indicted multiple times.

Heh.

I haven't kept up with it, but OpenCores is a balwark against this type of thing. FPGAs, while not as efficient as fab silicon, AFAIK lets one implement CPUs, interconnects and peripherals without any predefined channels to target for subversion. The NSA or other boogeymen couldn't craft a backdoor for your FPGA CPU, since the FPGA is just a 'blank slate' until programmed so they have no idea even what to attack beforehand. The chip could be literally anything once programmed. FPGAs by design have to faithfully implement the basic gates, with no jiggery-pokery, otherwise it would be evident immediately that something was up. Right?

If you're willing to learn a bit of tech self-support :), consider running your own server box with NextCloud -- there are calendar, media player plugins, etc. There are Android and iOS Nextcloud drive clients, a news reader, ...

It's not all quite as slick as Google Photos/Drive and so on, but very very usable.

Another alternative is the Proton suite (Protonmail, ProtonVPN, Proton Calendar, Drive, ...) they do charge a small amount but you get their added security.

The Deputy White House Counsel reiterated to Co-Conspirator 4 that there had not been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that if the Defendant remained in office nonetheless, there would be "riots in every major city in the United States." Co-Conspirator 4 responded, "Well, [Deputy White House Counsel], that's why there's an Insurrection Act."

.. they were planning to use the Insurrection Act to stomp any resistance to Trump staying in office. Full-on dictatorship-style military coup and mass arrests, or worse. (Not news, but still stunning to see it in writing in an indictment.)
