Log Cabin Republicans announce they no longer support trans rights - LGBTQ Nation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews

The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden, VnJ) was an assimilationist and nationalist German Jewish organization which was formed during the early years of the rule of the Weimar Republic and during the early years of the rule of Nazi Germany, that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler.

[...]

Despite the extreme nationalism of Naumann and his colleagues, the Nazi regime did not accept the Association of German National Jews as a legitimate intermediary. Following the passage of the Nuremberg Laws, the VnJ was declared illegal and dissolved on 18 November 1935. Naumann was arrested by the Gestapo the same day, and imprisoned at the Columbia concentration camp. He was released after a few weeks, and died of cancer in May 1939.[1] Most other members and their families were murdered in the Holocaust.[17]

Carney asks provinces to return U.S. alcohol to stores

Reply in thread

I'm sorry, but this is silly. This is an issue because American liquor companies are taking a financial hit and they are making it an issue. If the finances don't recover, they are not going to stop making it an issue, whatever tricks we might manage that technically satisfies a deal. We are dealing with gangsters. The best move is not to concede.

Michigan residents sue AI data center emitting noise 24/7 — company fined for industrial noise ordinance violations, offers to buy homes from residents

The company said that it’s planning to expand its operations in the footprint in the area

Residents say it sounds like a vacuum cleaner in their living room, and the company has offered to buy up homes from unhappy residents.

Very convenient for them that they converted their data centre into a property value destroyer before making this offer. I'm sure that's coincidental.
