Japan: Nikkei 225, Topix Futures suspended due to circuit breaker

The suspension of Japanese stock futures trading due to a circuit breaker indicates that the market has experienced a significant price movement—either a sharp decline or a rapid rise—triggering an automatic mechanism designed to halt trading temporarily.

This is a regulatory measure used by stock exchanges, such as the Japan Exchange Group (JPX), which oversees the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Osaka Exchange, and Tokyo Commodity Exchange, to prevent panic selling or buying and stabilize the market during extreme volatility.

So a friend of mine just told me that shortly after the Elon Musk sieg heil salute there was a video recorded from behind him which showed him click his heels together when he did the nazi salute (both times), eliminating any doubt whatsoever what his intention with that gesture was.

Now, try as he might, he can't find the video anywhere - he seems to think it's been completely scrubbed from the web.

Anybody else seen this? Clearly Google has scrubbed it, but I also briefly checked Yandex and I'm not seeing anything there either.

Any ideas on how to track this down?

Some staffers pasted pieces of paper on the opaque screens that read, for example, “assorted sports drinks & coffee.”

For what it's worth, Greg Stoker doesn't think that the terrorist rebellion in Syria will succeed. I've never seem him be wrong before, but who knows.

Pure evil.

It's really hard to understate what a mass-radicalisation event this whole live-streamed genocide has been, for young people in particular.

Tiktok has without a doubt taken a flame thrower to young people's attention spans, to be sure, but on the other hand it's probably done more to open the eyes of young people to the realities of the genocide in Gaza than anything else in the world.

I think we all know that as president she would establish a student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities.

Israel is in talks with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other nations to accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza, Zman Yisrael reported on Wednesday.

The news website quoted an unnamed source in the security cabinet as saying: "Congo will be willing to take in migrants, and we’re in talks with others."

On Tuesday, Israel's Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel said the "Gaza problem is not just our problem" and that "the world should support humanitarian emigration", according to Zman Yisrael's political analyst Shalom Yerushalmi.

The report comes amid a push by Israeli officials for what they call "voluntary migration" of Palestinians out of Gaza, which experts say is a form of forced displacement.

Hmm this seems kind of familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it thinkin-lenin

In 1999, British Gas (BG) discovered the existence of natural gas in the Gaza Marine fields, 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza ... In 2019, UNCTAD estimated the net value of the Gaza Marine natural gas at $4.592 billion

The Palestinian Authority was “granted” the right to exercise sovereignty over its own maritime territory by the Oslo Accords in 1995.

In December 2008, in total contravention of international laws, Israel declared sovereignty over the Gaza Marine area, and BG closed its offices in Tel Aviv.

... Israel continued to prevent Palestinians from developing and benefiting from their natural resources, in clear violation of international law that governs who has rights to these resources when a country is occupied.

Renewed interest in pursuing development of the Gaza Marine field surfaced in early 2022 following the war between Russia and Ukraine, the destruction of the Nord Stream Pipeline, and the sanctions placed on Russia that caused a global energy crisis.

On Oct. 29, Israel announced that it awarded 12 licenses for exploring additional offshore natural gas fields to six companies

Western and Israeli embassies in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran have all been swarmed with protesters. Some lit on fire or pelted with fireworks.

A few days ago comrade /u/InevitableSwing posted an astounding graph of automobile deaths per capita in different countries.

Obviously America was number one by far amerikkka-clap but what was amazing to me was that Canada's rate is nearly three times lower.

The countries are not that different in many ways kkkanada.

Certainly things like aggressive driving and speed limits of course play a role, but I think the key is probably something a lot more simple: public fucking transit usage.

Example A:

USA

  • Own car/drive: 85%
  • Public transit: 12%
  • Bike: 11%

Example B:

Canada

  • Own car/drive: 67%
  • Public transit: 23%
  • Bike: 11%

So overall 18% fewer Canadians drive, and nearly twice as many take pubic transit.

A lot of our population is centred around the major cities that have decent public transit, and even some of the medium sized cities have decent bus systems too.

  • Toronto
  • Montreal
  • Vancouver

What a depressing book. The chapters about life in Eastern Europe after the fall of the USSR were utterly heartbreaking. Even the little things like how free Summer camp for kids was abolished was just ... fuck dude. I don't even know what to say

This book actually made me weep. I honestly don't know why it took me so long to read Parenti. deeper-sadness

I was legit looking forward to it, purely for entertainment value. I dunno if it'll even be worth watching without the big wet boy present kitty-birthday-sad

In a stunning turn of events, local small business owners have once again taken to complaining about dump pointless bullshit again. According to sources close to the situation, the business owners have been griping about everything from the weather to the price of coffee, with seemingly no end in sight.

The complaints reportedly began early this morning, when one business owner took issue with the placement of a nearby trash can, claiming it was hurting foot traffic to his store. Another owner chimed in with concerns about the length of a nearby crosswalk, saying it was causing undue stress for her customers.

As the day wore on, the complaints continued to pour in, with one business owner even going so far as to complain about the angle of the sun in the sky.

Our reporters rushed to the scene to get the latest developments.

"Even though we are usually not the most affected stakeholders in really any situation, the fact that we are by far the most important members of the community entirely justifies the over-the-top media attention that we receive basically all of the fucking time" said one local small business owner. They went on to complain about how the newly installed bicycle lanes are destroying the very fabric of the city that they once loved.

Stunningly, not all residents feel sympathy with the incessant whining from the small business community who won't shut the fuck up for five god damned minutes about their pointless dumb bullshit.

"It's like they're just looking for things to complain about at this point," said one exasperated onlooker. "I mean, sure, we all have our bad days, but these guys take it to a whole new level."

"It's just ridiculous," said another witness to the spectacle. "I mean, these people are running successful businesses, but they still find time to whine about the most mundane things imaginable."

At press time, it was unclear whether the small business owners planned to continue their never-ending stream of complaints, or if they might eventually tire of their own nonsense and focus on more pressing matters and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways rather than paying their employees poverty wages and still complaining about how much payroll costs.

Only time will tell.
