I read the article so you don’t have to.

Excerpt:

A group of 12 Republican US senators sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, threatening repercussions if the court issues arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials, according a Monday report from news organization Zeteo.

The senators allege that the ICC seeks to punish “legitimate actions of self-defense,” citing Khan’s report of the “calculated cruelty” he witnessed following the October 7 attack and making clear that they find “no moral equivalence between Hamas’s terrorism and Israel’s justified response.” They claimed that the arrest warrants “would align the ICC with the largest state sponsor of terrorism.”

The signatories declared they would take any warrant issued as “not only a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States.” They threaten, “Target Israel and we will target you” and that any further action will “end all American support for the ICC” and “bar [Khan] and [his] families from the United States.” It ended: “You have been warned.”

The letter, dated April 24, 2024, was signed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as well as Senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas; Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee; Katie Boyd Britt of Alabama; Ted Budd of North California; Kevin Cramer of North Dakota; Ted Cruz of Texas; Bill Hagerty of Tennessee; Pete Ricketts of Nebraska; Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida; and Tim Scott of South Carolina.

There is no emergency here, this is defending shipping lines.

ehh, not just any shipping lines, though

So yeah, that lever that says “OPEN” in big, bold, red letters? Don’t pull that!

Ragebait title.

Excerpt from the article:

Marianne Sivertsen Næss, chair of The Standing Committee on Energy and the Environment, which considered the original plan, told the BBC that the Norwegian government was taking a “precautionary approach to mineral activities”.

She said: “We do not currently have the knowledge needed to extract minerals from the seabed in the manner required. The government’s proposal to open an area for activity enables private players to explore and acquire knowledge and data from the areas in question. Opening up areas is not the same as approving extraction of seabed minerals.”

I have an ad blocker in my desktop browser, but when I tap a link in Voyager, it opens in the app (without ad blocking). I can usually work around it by toggling Reader Mode, so it’s no biggie.

I tapped/slashed/exed through all the pop-ups and other ads that are docked to one or more edges of the screen on that site so other readers don’t have to:

Overall, we rate The Japan News Right-Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the right. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani stated today in a joint press conference with his Spanish counterpart in Baghdad that the Iraqi government intends to end the presence of the international coalition in this country.

Did you read the article, though?

• Repeat offender, check.
• History of violence, check.
• No remorse, in fact he actively wants to do it again as soon as he’s able, check.

I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs, but unless and until a qualified medical professional personally guarantees he won’t regress, it would be downright irresponsible to allow this kid to continue doing what he does.

Perhaps for first offenses, in cases where the defendant seems remorseful, and/or they are unlikely to regress, sure. But in this case, the defendant checks none of these boxes. This kid sounds like the archetypical shit bag that plagues gaming communities far and wide. Goodbye and good riddance.

Shocker. This whole situation is one big shit sandwich. On one hand, it’s like yeah maybe next time, think twice before you poke the bear. But then again even without the October 7th attacks, we have all these radical Israelis who believe it is their biblical duty to evict all Palestinians from greater Israel. Like wtf?

Duplicate of.

Palantir is known for working closely with intelligence agencies and military organisations around the world, such as the CIA and UK Ministry of Defence.

Hmm…

[Palantir’s billionaire founder and chair, Peter Thiel], a libertarian, told an Oxford Union debate in January that the NHS makes people sick and should be privatised and Britons’ attachment to it showed they were exhibiting “Stockholm syndrome”.

Purdue Pharma has entered the chat.

The public needed “assurance that their personal information won’t be harvested by Palantir for purposes that have little to do with their health”, Frankental added. NHS England sought to allay such concerns. It stressed that none of the companies in the winning consortium would be able to access health and care data without its explicit consent; that it would retain control of all data within the platform; and that it would not include GP data. It said the new software would be protected by the highest possible standards of security through the deployment of “privacy enhancing technology”.

Mkay.
