This is the article posted by DPRK. It has 6 photos of Kim inspecting a tank. KCNA.kp is an official website hosted in DPRK. The website posts new articles usually at 6-7 PM Eastern Time Zone.

I check it almost every day and post when they are interesting to me, which I guess is sort of arbitrary.

Thought this photo was pretty neat. It shows all the builders of their new warship standing beside it, to show the size.

This article shows photos of testing the new missile system on their massive new warship.

Another interesting this is that the KCNA website actually runs on RedStarOS. If you inspect the website's HTTP header in your browser, it tells you that kcna.kp runs on "Server: Apache/2.4.25 (RedStar4.0) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips PHP/5.6.2".

This report by Axios says that Laura Loomer may have convinced Trump to be against Mike Waltz even before the signal leaks.

For concentration and work, many people recommend listening to video game sound tracks.

Ryan Grim was being sarcastic when he said that he called Xi. It's a joke.

If you have a better link or corrections, I can change the post. I picked a link right as the story was breaking.

Trump's billionaire friends in this video are Charles Schwab and Roger Penske.

You can read the bill here https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocument/2023/8694/0/H237-PCCS40622-CE-5

The first thing I notice is that on page 2, line 10. it crosses out wearing a mask for "ensuring the physical health or safety of the wearer or others" and replaces the text with "preventing the spread of contagious disease."

Then on page 2 line 27-29, it says that anyone wearing a mask for the reason of preventing the spread of contagious disease "shall remove the mask upon request by a law enforcement officer" and "remove the mask upon request by the owner or occupant of public or private property where the wearer is present to allow for identification of the wearer."

Page 3 line 38 says "A person who willfully stands, sits, or lies upon the highway or street in such a manner as to impede the regular flow of traffic.traffic is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor."

Then on the end of Page 4 through Page 5, it gets really sneaky and starts to redefine the limit on the amount of money the Federal PACs are allowed to donate to "candidate or political committee"

https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article289180139.html

The bill doesn’t change the prohibition on corporations being able to give to state parties or candidates. And federal political committee contributions would still be limited to $6,400 to most political committees for an election. However, the bill allows federal PACs and 527s to use separate accounts, funded only through unlimited contributions by individuals, to donate to a political party or an affiliated party committee.

But now federal super PACs will be subject to the new limits in the bill, if it becomes law.

This bill also helps federal entities shift their money around, said Bob Hall, a longtime elections watchdog. Under the bill, “a big entity – federal entity – that has corporate money and individual money can use the individual money to make donations,” said Hall.

“It is a laundry scheme in a way,” Hall said. “It does allow large, particularly individual donations, millionaires, billionaires to send $600,000 to the Republican Governors Association, the Democratic Governors Association.” Both groups are 527s.

What is the explanation for the new VPN advisory? Is it just because of peertube?

White House released a statement on the deal.

I welcome the deal to secure the release of hostages taken by the terrorist group Hamas during its brutal assault against Israel on October 7th.

Jill and I have been keeping all those held hostage and their loved ones close to our hearts these many weeks, and I am extraordinarily gratified that some of these brave souls, who have endured weeks of captivity and an unspeakable ordeal, will be reunited with their families once this deal is fully implemented.

I thank Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar and President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi of Egypt for their critical leadership and partnership in reaching this deal. And I appreciate the commitment that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have made in supporting an extended pause to ensure this deal can be fully carried out and to ensure the provision of additional humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of innocent Palestinian families in Gaza. I look forward to speaking with each of these leaders and staying in close contact as we work to ensure this deal is carried through in its entirety. It is important that all aspects of this deal be fully implemented.

As President, I have no higher priority than ensuring the safety of Americans held hostage around the world. That’s why—from the earliest moments of Hamas’s brutal assault—my national security team and I have worked closely with regional partners to do everything possible to secure the release of our fellow citizens. We saw the first results of that effort in late October, when two Americans were reunited with their loved ones. Today’s deal should bring home additional American hostages, and I will not stop until they are all released.

Today’s deal is a testament to the tireless diplomacy and determination of many dedicated individuals across the United States Government to bring Americans home.

Qatar has also released a statement on the deal.

The State of Qatar announces the success of its joint mediation efforts undertaken with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States of America between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), resulting in an agreement for a humanitarian pause. The starting time of the pause will be announced within the next 24 hours and last for four days, subject to extension.

The agreement includes the release of 50 civilian women and children hostages currently held in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of a number of Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons, the number of those released will be increased in later stages of implementing the agreement.

The humanitarian pause will also allow the entry of a larger number of humanitarian convoys and relief aid, including fuel designated for humanitarian needs.

The State of Qatar affirms its commitment to ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions, stop the bloodshed, and protect civilians. In this regard, the State of Qatar appreciates the efforts of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States of America in reaching this agreement.

Depending on what you consider to be "traditional 2D Mario", this list is missing Super Mario Maker (2015) and Super Mario Maker 2 (2019).

Throwback to the time that he debated Zizek on "Capitalism vs Marxism" and Peterson only prepared by reading the Communist Manifesto. Peterson didn't know enough about Marxism to even respond to Zizek.
