As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began addressing a solemn ceremony in Jerusalem earlier this week commemorating the country's dead from wars and other hostilities, Nir Galon rose to his feet and proceeded with a silent, one-man protest.

Ich habe mir ja auf Empfehlung von Fefe angesehen. Das wahr wohl eine Medienkompetenzübung.
Alles ohne Grund getrieben, immer unter der Prämisse, was könnte sonst für die dummen Bösen sonst noch schief gehen.
Das Ende äussert unbefriedigend.
Das hätte in 90 Minuten gepasst.

Tory MP allegedly demanded campaign cash to pay ‘bad people’

http://archive.today/JyjkC
(No paywall)

Mark Menzies, MP for Fylde, used thousands of pounds raised by donors for private expenses. His party had been aware for three months and took no action. Put your coffee down before reading.

Meanwhile the Tories hallucinate charges against Rayner and the polis assign 12 officers to investigate. Shades of Blue Tents in Scotland.

"... a whopping judgement in Moreno’s case... a jury finding him liable for withholding wages from both employees in the suit in 2022, forcing him to pay $416,160 in damages. (Moreno eventually settled at least a dozen additional wage-theft cases ) During the proceedings, Moreno was also found... to have shredded company documents related to the case that Moreno and his lawyers 'were required to preserve' and 'knew or should have known [were] relevant.' ”

From 2015 to 2022, I spent hundreds of hours on Duolingo, translating articles, answering language questions on the forums, and helping to improve the smaller courses by reporting mistakes.

There are thousands of volunteers who donated their labour to Duo: the course creators who wrote their courses, the volunteers who created grammar guides (some smaller languages had an entire second course in the forums), the wiki contributors, the native speakers who answered questions in the sentence discussions.

All of their work made Duolingo the powerhouse it is today. Duo was built by a community who believed in its original mission: language learning should be free and accessible.

Bit by bit all of our work was hidden from us as Duolingo became a publicly-traded company. And now that work is being fed into their AI as training data.

Well, I've learned the true lesson of Duolingo: never give a corporation your labour for free. Don't ever trust them, no matter what they say. Eventually greed will consume any good intentions.

I would suggest that what you really learned was to ALWAYS "License" your contributions to any crowd-sourced project under CC-BY-SA, the or , or some other or strong license.

Again: "License" your contributions - do not "ASSIGN" your copyright to any project. It's a common technique used by tricksters to steal your intellectual property for their own diabolical, ulterior motives like you just described

Leading management consultancy, McKinsey & Company, is accused of advancing the interests of its major oil and gas clients during its advisory role at the U.N.'s COP28 climate talks, potentially hindering efforts to fight global warming. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/08/companies/mckinsey-climate-change-whistleblowers/?utm_content=buffer9ba2d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

@thejapantimes Why, I don't believe that for one minute... There couldn't POSSIBLY have been such a MASSIVE conflict of interest.....

Oh no, wait...

"McKinsey — whose big oil clients range from America's ExxonMobil to Saudi Arabia's state-run Aramco — is one of several consultancies giving free advice to the United Arab Emirates as it hosts the critical negotiations, which start on November 30.
Controversially, the talks are being presided over by Sultan Al Jaber, head of the Emirati state oil firm ADNOC."

Michael Szafranski, coconspirator in billion-dollar Rothstein Ponzi scheme, now heads Kushner Companies Florida acquisitions and is on Surfside’s planning and zoning board - overseeing controversial plans for UAE's Damac to develop collapsed Surfside site.

Szafranski was a key player in the $1.3-billion fraud - he worked for investors as an “independent verifier” while secretly receiving payments from Rothstein.

8-10-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

View on Zencastr

It's a Thursday so Howie Klein is here. The challenge today will be in deciding what to talk about, as DownWithTyranny.com is filled with lots of fodder. Howie's posts in the last week deal with everything from how horrible today's Republican party is to how horrible today's Democratic party is (t
