Do the laws and policies preventing Russian APT groups from attacking national assets also apply to the Trump Organization and the RNC? Because a guy who just asked for a billion dollars in bribes would be a hell of a ransomware or crypto theft target.

@Viss yeah, I had a feeling that if anyone was going to do it it would be North Korea. Crypto theft is more their MO anyway, if there's any to be had.

While what happened to Stormy Daniels is not called "rape," it is a "gendered form of exploitation, the leveraging of a man’s money & position for access to an unwilling woman’s body." And then the NDA to prevent her from telling her truth. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/09/stormy-daniels-testimony-trump

FWIW Isreali is currently implementing its two state strategy. It just wants the area to be cleared out first

LinuxAndYarn,
@LinuxAndYarn@mastodon.social avatar

@jalcine The only reason a two state solution was needed was because Israel has committed for a generation to electing right-wing politicians who have destroyed the civil rights of Palestinians within the country.

The old two-state solution was Israel and Palestine. Netenyahu's is Israel and West Israel.

😬The levels are so deep on this one.

A non-white Ukrainian girl was told that she wasn't eligible to be miss Ukraine, because she didn't look white. She was told to be quiet and not protest the racism.

She grew up to be a singer and influencer, advocating for non-white Ukrainians.

Then the government of Ukraine asks her if she'd be comfortable being scanned to be the AI avatar for a character that would speak internationally for Ukraine. She agreed to do this for no compensation.

@mekkaokereke

Taking your rhetorical questions in order:

I don't know if she was wrong. Just because I'm skeeved by the AI part doesn't mean she can't use her likeness to represent Ukraine.

She absolutely should have gotten paid, both on labor principles and for her past troubles.

No, and no. At worst they should have multiple avatars with many faces and rotate through them.

Backlash is inevitable, especially for a country targeted by Russia. And what's Ukrainian for "beef"?

I realize that the Fedi at this point, at least my network, skews pretty anti-religious, and fine. But please realize how much this means to so many people and how much it will mean to people in the future. You don't have to agree with an institution's theology to celebrate people no longer feeling hurt and hated and excluded.

Listen, if you’re a white person, and you think you’ve had Szechuan food, you probably haven’t.

Most of the Szechuan restaurants in the USA lack a basic component: spiciness.

I say this because a friend from out of town just went to a Szechuan restaurant in Vancouver, thought it was going to be business as usual, and now he’s doubled over because the spice is too much for him.

He tells me, it’s so bad, that he feels the spice eking out of his pores. 🤣

@atomicpoet In Philadelphia, we have a restaurant called Han Dynasty, which offers ten levels of spiciness. I couldn't handle level 3. My tear ducts felt like lava was flowing from them.

This isn't the decade in which I'd expect to recommend an opinion piece in the New York Times, but Jonathan Alter has a brilliant idea. Instead of jailing #Trump for contempt so he can release his ghostwritten version of Mein Kampf, which I'm sure Stephen Miller has ready to go, make him pick up trash in New York City parks every Wednesday.

Trump can spend his next thousand dollar penalty buying himself a gold-plated pooper scooper.

@NapVeg It can be zero.

But honestly, if I said "with all due respect" to some people, Donald Trump for example, it would be more courtesy than they're entitled to. So you have a good point after all

Necheles rises to renew Trump's objection to Daniels testifying about any "sexual details," which she says has no relevance and is prejudicial.
By details, Merchan asks, more than just "we had sex"? Yes, Necheles says.

@GottaLaff Bombshell to me: Donald Trump parties with Ben Roethlisberger, who has also been accused multiple times of sexual assault, including the rape of /a casino employee in Lake Tahoe/ (two years after the Trump-Daniels encounter) and paid the woman in a civil suit settlement after losing in the Nevada Supreme Court.
