Pro-Ukrainian partisans sabotage electric substation powering military plant in southern Russia, Atesh group claims
I’m waiting for the full-on deadlock situation, where so many resources are burned they can’t fix any of them.
Russia is a big place, but I’m seeing good progress!

Do it at home too, women tell Japanese fans who cleaned World Cup stadium
The article is stupid and clickbait. It takes people voluntarily cleaning up a stadium and ruins that action with complete speculation provided by randos on the internet. No one quoted appears to know the fans, yet the author treats assumptions about their private home lives as news. Uses societal trends to lessen them individually. Are the internet randos even women?
Where the fuck is journalistic integrity?

Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
I know people will say this is bad, a new campaign will be rushed, etc. But I think we all know Biden was an excuse for many not to vote, or worse, to vote for Trump. Withdrawing will be his legacy when we win, not his failing.
Thank you President Biden. You are a hero.

Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why
Years ago Microsoft had its OneNote Notebooks as proper files, you could move and copy them and such. Now it’s nearly impossible to get your hands on a “tangible” file using this software.
During that transition- from usable to shit, I made the mistake of uploading my notebook, with all of my uears of course studies (college, professional certifications, etc) into onedrive. That way it could be backed up! A year later I moved my files again into a different system, moving away from OD. They were MY files after all.
What I didn’t know was that Microsoft had moved my Notebook somewhere else into their cloud, on my behalf, and changed my Notebook file to a shortcut/pointer object. There was no indication it was a shortcut as with other documents (the little arrow) on windows. It looked just exactly like the original file.
Well when I tried to open this “file” I got the rudest awakening: Microsoft couldn’t find the “linked” notebook. “What fucking linked notebook?” Apparently, when I moved my “file” (shortcut) out of overdrive, they saw that as a deletion and DELETED the now referenced file they helpfully moved for me.
All of this without ever a single notification; Microsoft deleted years of critical notes with no recourse for recovery. It was just gone.
Ass holes.

FEMA staff confused after head said he was unaware of US hurricane season, sources say
Let me say this plainly: hurricane season isn’t real. The so-called “season” is just an arbitrary window created by meteorological elites to justify their bloated radar budgets and keep the Weather Channel relevant.
Think about it. Why do hurricanes only happen when they say they will? Suspicious. Real weather doesn’t follow schedules. Tornadoes don’t clock in and out like they’re working one of those union “jobs”. But somehow hurricanes all conveniently “form” during the same five-month stretch? That’s not nature, that’s narrative.
I checked NOAA’s hurricane forecast and guess what? They’re always “above average.” Every year. If everything is “above average,” then your average is just a lie. That’s basic math. Wake up!
And have you ever seen a hurricane? Not on TV. Not on “satellite images” (which are just more made up computer pictures). I mean with your own eyes. You haven’t. You were told to evacuate. They told you to leave. So you leave, and when you come back, they say, “Oh, it hit. It was devastating.” And your shed is gone. Just the shed. Not the house. Not the mailbox. The shed. Interesting.
And why is it always Florida? Why is it always Louisiana? Is it because those are coastal areas? Or is it because they’re close to the weather machine off the coast of Cuba? Don’t roll your eyes. There’s a patent. Google “ionospheric heater” and open your third eye.
And how is a swirling mass of clouds over the ocean “tracking” toward land like a guided missile unless it’s being guided? These hurricanes have suspiciously good aim for things that are “random”.
You don’t need sandbags. You need answers.
You don’t need FEMA. You need freedom.

‘Appalling And Indefensible’: Elon Musk Incites Rage Online After Claiming No One Is ‘Trying to Assassinate Biden/Kamala’

Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me very strongly'
I thought you were supposed to not admit to the bribe.
The argument has always been, “No, we just give to candidates who support our cause.” Of course everyone knows that’s BS, because the support always follows the cash. But then here comes this dumbass and just- up and admits to corruption.

'You are making it hard for us!' Black Americans for Trump member rips president on CNN
Hi! You must be new here.
Also..
He warned that Trump’s recent rise in Black voter support isn’t guaranteed.
Your support one way or the other doesn’t matter any more. You’ve doomed us all unfortunately.
It’s too bad stupid people were also allowed to vote.

Childless GOP candidate borrows family for weird photo shoot
He was breathing fairly easily. It occurred to Ford that he might breathe more easily yet without the weight of his wallet bearing down on his chest, so he slipped it out of Harl's breast pocket and flipped through it. Fair amount of cash. 55 Credit tokens. Ultragolf club membership. Other club memberships. Photos of someone's wife and family - presumably Harl's, but it was hard to be sure these days. Busy executives often didn't have time for a full-time wife and family and would just rent them for weekends.

Jeffrey Epstein's brother stuns with response to email about Trump sex act with 'Bubba'
I loathe clickbait titles. The statement:
For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton,” Mark Epstein said in an apparent statement, shared by Shamsian on social media late Saturday.
Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications onto them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence. I want to be absolutely clear on this point so that the public record is not distorted and so that speculation does not unfairly implicate people who are not actually being referenced in those communications.
Emphasis mine
