Striking machinists at Boeing will vote Wednesday on a new contract proposal that includes a 35% pay hike over four years that could end a costly five-week-old strike, the company and union said Saturday.

This! Manufacturers were trying to lock people into their systems, just by different means. Reverse engineering a piece of low-level software (BIOS) so that you could run high-level software written for that machine architecture on different hardware was the main battle of the day.

The problem is this: regarding Netanyahu she says "Well he is very clearly a war criminal." Regarding Putin she says "With Russia it's far more complicated" and "In so many words, yes." She's hedging out of calling Putin a war criminal directly so she can plausibly deny it. She will agree with general statements saying he could be a war criminal under those circumstances but she won't say it directly so she can go "Oh no, Hasan called him a war criminal, I didn't, I just agreed that if all of those things were true then he could be considered a war criminal!"

It means they're looking for incriminating information without any evidence it exists. They're "casting a wide net," to use another fishing term, in hopes of finding something illegal, even if there's no basis for them asking the questions in the first place.

The parties aren't the problem. Macron holds the presidency and appoints the PM. The largest (coalition) party is giving him a candidate AFTER compromises and he's refusing STILL because he only wants a PM from his own party, who came in second (edit: not third, my bad, they did beat National Rally. They did come in third in the first round of voting though).

Every friendly interview Trump has is just him "Yeah, uh huh, right, yup"-ing is way through whatever the """interviewer""" is saying, then spewing whatever stream of consciousness he has going in the background. It's why he never answers questions - he doesn't listen to them, and if actually pressed, he gets pissed because he has to actually try to think.

Someone probably tried to tell him "we should change tactics" and he went "Uh huh, uh huh.... WHERE'S HUNTER"

The irony of naming someone as the "woman shares name of man she believes was the one arrested for crime before the police released the name" before the police release the name is incredibly ridiculous.

Before the release of further details by the authorities, others including the X owner, Elon Musk, tweeted questions on social media.

Tweets only happen on Twitter, not any "social media", and if you're going to call it X then call them posts. Or Xits.

Having continuous pieces like this make a difference. Think of how many "Biden has to step aside!" pieces have been written in the past two weeks and how much a part of the political discussion that is. The more time the media takes up shouting from the rooftops that Trump is a threat to America, the more mainstream and central the discourse becomes.

Here you go

I had to downvote you to get the "total" (heart) to show up. You can see in the comment below yours that if there are only all up- or downvotes, it just shows that.

Now congressional Republicans want the justice department to release the audio of the interview.

To be clear on this, they already have the transcripts. They just want to be able to chop up audio so they can put clips of it on TV.

There's a very wide range of options between "doing nothing" and "intentionally bombing civilians"
