Wealthy businessman paid hitmen €150,000 to kill journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, jury hears
Assassination, bribery, corruption, murder, arms trafficking, fraud, and more! It might be easier to list the crimes he didn't commit. Good on Malta for finally bringing these dogs to justice.

In the FAQ they actually do address that and mention they're reviewing those sites for removal.

Here's what happens if Judge Boasberg holds Trump administration in contempt over El Salvador deportations
Absolutely disgusting behavior by the Republicans.
Locking up student activists for voicing their opinion on any matter only lends credence to their argument and makes Republicans and the administration look weak and ineffectual.
How the Republican party can dare call themselves patriots, freedom-loving, or even American while they repeatedly piss on our constitutional rights is shameful. God save us, because our politicians won't.

Healthiest LinkedIn relationship

That's the read I got from it too. She asks what's keeping her from being content with life without conventional markers of accomplishment. I don't think she says outright that she wants to be like her husband, but the point she's making is that women in tech feel more driven to accomplish things as a way to prove themselves in the industry while men don't feel that same pressure or not to the same extent.

I think upvotes are for the quality of the content in the post and comments are for sharing your opinion.
So, upvote when the post fits the purpose of the community, spurs discussion, and follows the rules.
Comment to tell people what you think about the content of the post.
If we downvoted every time there was horrible news we didn't agree with communities like news and politics would never receive a single upvote.

She did the right thing

Great news! Apparently, she's been out of jail for a while. This is an even older news story than I expected.

Love to see the Dems fighting back. Especially on something as crucial as congressional districts.

Lawyers ‘Scared’ to Do Their Jobs After Charges Against Palestine Action Barrister
This quote really says it all.
“It is starting to feel like it’s about the politics of the subject matter of the trial, rather than the core principles of how a barrister represents his client.”
As an aside, this is an amazing title.
Former shadow attorney general Baroness Shami Chakrabarti also expressed her concern about Menon’s prosecution...

YSK that President Joe Biden wanted to end a loophole benefiting Private Equity billionaires. Powerful Senator Kyrsten Sinema opposed it. She was lavishly rewarded.

I think it's important to remind people, or inform them if they missed it the first time, that capitalists will do whatever it takes to make an extra buck, including blatantly bribing a US Senator.
Also, I never want to miss an opportunity to post about Kyrsten Sinema being a piece of shit.

US Attorney-General orders prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione
It's unconscionable that Luigi is sitting in prison facing the death penalty while cretins like Trump, Musk, and company can inflict policy that will kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Neither. It's her brother's baby mama. That's why they butchered the title. Apparently the nephew lives with his father and stepmother.

Is anyone else's friends getting really distant?
Reply in thread
Same. I've always been bad at replying to people in general, and it's worse with friends that I have to hype myself up to talk to just so I can match their energy. Not their fault, of course, but as you said, you don't want to bring your friends down.
OP, I say keep trying. Everyone needs friends and the more, the better. Just keep the judgement low and try to be understanding of where people can be at in their life journey. I promise that they will appreciate you for reaching out.
As a side note, I've gone years without speaking to some friends and when I've dug myself out of a hole or they've crawled out of the woodwork, we've reconnected. And because we were understanding and accepting of what each other has gone through, our relationship is stronger.

That's interesting. Adding a space before the exclamation mark would just make me think it's a typo and not an intentional punctuation choice.
And the the use of the ellipsis is something I've recently seen in some work correspondence, and to me it came off as sarcastic, not ominous. Which was strange as the sender is usually very polite. So this makes a lot more sense if it's a generational thing.
I still don't understand it though. If not sarcasm, ominous ending, or an interruption, what does an ellipsis signify and why not just use a period?

I love that this is their sole response, hosted on a .org domain and that there's nothing else there. No Contact Us page, no upcoming events, nothing to indicate they actually do anything or are even a group. Just that dumbass tweet and BLM support.
