This is what diplomacy with a narcissist looks like, and everyone is doing it. Trump whisperers are in hot demand.

The bit I find funny is trump is so dense he doesn't even realise he's being spoken to and manipulated like you would a child. In this case for a good cause, so well done Rutte.

RIP. She was a fighter and a hero.

We can lament the lack of full justice but please let's not forget this woman's massive achievements...

Epstein died awaiting trial. Maxwell is doing 20 years. Andrew is a social pariah who has been ejected from the royal family. And everyone around the world knows about Epstein's trafficking ring.

None of this would have happened without Giuffre's tenacity and bravery for so long in the face of insurmountable odds and incredibly powerful people.

It's not justice until every charge is answered for and every perpetrator faces trial. BUT.. this woman achieved so much and deserves to be remembered as such.

Let's not frame her as a downtrodden victim. She's a fucking fighter. And she won an astounding victory. This woman felled giants.

Seeing musk, trump and a Tesla in a single shot just makes that toxic association so much stronger. I don't think this is going to play out like they hope.

Plus, you know the boycott is working, talk about desperate.

Some members of the staff also felt their compensation was better than they might otherwise have earned in India, the defense argued.

Is this a real lawyer? They clearly have no legal case. I hope the book gets thrown at them.

And shame on business insider to down play it as someone complaining they're not 'cute' enough.

Thanks for pointing that out, it is Discovery's decision. For their part though, Sony is still at fault as they didn't demand perpetual use rights for content sold on their store, or at least a full refund for the customer.

It looks like the biggest culprit is poor or non existent lod's on the models. Strikes me as odd though as that's a pretty basic art requirement for a game like this. I don't see how this took them by suprise.

I guess the good news is that's it's easily fixable. It's not like ksp2 which looks like it has some pretty unsolvable core issues.

Before the pitchforks get handed out we should take a moment to remember that Poland has given more aid to Ukraine as a % of GDP than almost any other country. The only countries who have done more are Latvia and Estonia.

After bouncing back and forth between the house of lord's and the house of commons This bill is a shadow of it's former self. I'm glad to say.

Three things that were massively damaging for privacy and security have, as far as I can see, been scrapped.

  1. The bill no longer requires tech companies to control 'harmful but legal' content. A blurry, ill defined concept that would have been impossible to regulate.
  2. The bill no longer requires all end to end encrypted communication channel's (WhatsApp etc) to have a backdoor for governments and enforcement agencies to access unencrypted messages between people. Something that would have broken effective security in every way.
  3. The bill no longer requires porn to only be accessible to UK citizens after they have proven they are an adult. This was by providing bank details or ID to porn websites (lol no thanks), possibly through a third party company that is supposed to assure some privacy ( lol still no thanks).

And what's left in the bill is going to be regulated by Ofcom, a toothless underfunded shell of a regulatory body.

Am I the only one who thinks this is funny? It's a joke people.

Do you mind? I'm trying to be righteously infuriated over here.
