"To support the training and legitimacy of their own on-campus police force during the 1960s and 1970s, university leaders increased police budgets and lobbied for expanded statutory authority. University leaders steadily increased budgets to outfit and support police officers."
An extremely brutal Russian attack on Kharkiv and Lyubotyn. According to preliminary data, Russia launched 15 missiles at once. Unfortunately, there are casualties. Emergency services have already arrived at the scene of the attacks, and all those injured will receive the necessary assistance.
Russian terrorists are taking advantage of Ukraine's lack of sufficient air defense protection and reliable capability to destroy terrorist launchers at their exact locations, which are close to our borders. And this weakness is not ours, but the world's, which has not dared to deal with terrorists in the way they deserve for three years.
Terror must lose everywhere, under any conditions, and on all continents. This is our shared responsibility—that of everyone in the world who has the ability to protect life from terror. Ukraine is doing everything it can. I am grateful to everyone who is helping us. But we need more determination, especially from world leaders.

Do you know who the candidates are? Who the other guy is?
The person whos promised to remove all climate actions and regulations on day one. A guy who is taking dick from Putin every night while screaming “harder daddy”. A drooling megalomaniacal diaper wearing fascist, who supports Putin and Netanyahu.
You’re not voting for genocide. You’re not even voting for Biden. You’re voting against Trump.
If you’re an American with the right to vote and you don’t vote Biden, you are directly supporting Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and other far-right leaders.
Have you ever heard of the trolley problem? You’re online, so you should have. Do you know what’s never the answer to those problems? “I walk away but also take no responsibility for allowing more people to die.” Sorry, not an option. The lesson is that inaction is a choice with consequences.
Last boost:
I'm amazed at the level of near religious reverence some people put into The Process in software dev. As if simply doing The Rituals of The Process will magically make good software spring out of teams on time and under budget.
IME the biggest determining factors in success are:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called on Supreme Court Justice Samuel #Alito to recuse himself from Jan. 6 cases after news that, according to The New York Times, a second flag of a type carried by Jan. 6 rioters was displayed outside Alito’s home.
It’s wild that modern day American conservatives are suddenly really OK with their Dear Leader buddying up to North Korea, and also downright fans of Russia.
Are you trying to say Trump being slightly less hostile towards those countries wasn’t a bad thing?
Ok, I’m sorry, I’m going to ruffle feathers here but… I’m trying to read some newer development process books and… oh my… even super popular ones are so immensely long winded and unconvincing in their dogmatic argumentation: this is bad, this is good, because I said so that’s why.
Recent examples that I’m struggling to finish: “Team Topologies” and “Data Mesh” - I mean they might be great but I’m getting strong “this should’ve been a blogpost” feels.
it really sounds like that voter (or that group of voters) effectively have no choice.
Welcome to being part of a small minority in a democracy; sorry that democracy isn’t utopian and that changing minds requires time and effort. “I want a leader who agrees with all of my positions but I don’t want my positions to have to be popular or supported by a broad swathe of the population to achieve that” is more vanguard politics stuff; democracy isn’t really your speed.
Like I said its the larger imperialist project. After WWI, Britain broke up the Ottoman empire and divided it up into all these different regions based on what worked for the British. Even back in 1918 they had already picked out that strip of land on the Mediterranean as strategically essential to keeping the whole middle east destabilized so that the abundant resources could be controlled by western interests. At this time, GB was still the heart of global imperialism, it was where capitalism was born and global finance was invented and perfected. it was the world’s colonial juggernaut, and now the feudal classes of Europe were in their death throes.
The imperialists knew they wanted to have control of this land but had the foresight that old school military occupational colonialism was too messy. Better to just buy out a layer of administrators to create a ruling class to rubber stamp western interests in the region. This is the way colonialism works now but back then it was still pretty new. There needed to be westerners in this strip of land to convert it into the headquarters of imperialism in the middle east. Enter the Zionist project, Jews who were looking for a national identity, who had basically internalized centuries of antisemitism, that there was nowhere in Europe for the Jews. The British linked up with the Zionists and started moving people into the region end masse.
But less than 30 years later, after WW2, Britain was a bombed out flaming pile of rubble and the USA was an ascendant super power. Russia had just suffered 20 million+ casualties and the invasion left little of the forced industrialization under Stalin that made it possible for Russia to turn the tide of the Nazi’s wave of mass destruction. The US on the other hand stayed out of the war until they realized that the USSR was actually starting to win, at which point the USA mobilized to the western front, and used the military effort and patriotic support to carry out their own super mass industrialization. The US was flush with capital, so the interests of imperialism shifted from Britain to the USA. And the project that had begun with the British changed hands. Well, not really since it was the same people working for the same interests, only the national character had changed.
See you’re saying that the Israelis own the USA because the USA sends tax dollars to Israel. I’m saying that both the USA and Israel (and GB, basically the whole world) are all owned by a capitalist imperialist ruling class. The Israelis benefit from our taxes, or at least the leaders of Israel benefit, but the capitalists benefit from a perpetually unstable middle east whose own domestic national ruling class keeps wages low and resources free for foreign investment and international markets.
Why do people keep framing it like it’s either genocide or fascism? Do people just give Trump a free pass because he’s upfront about letting Isreal go scorched earth on Gaza? It’s genocide or genocide and fascism. It doesn’t matter who you vote for, America is going to support genocide either way. What you’re voting for is either democratic leader supporting genocide or a fascist leader supporting genocide.
He may be popular to some of them, but he’s also turned the party into a culture of personality that has abandoned most of what it used to claim to believe in.
When he dies (or loses his ability to attract a crowd), the party will be a husk of its former self. They’ll have abandoned their principles which attracted fiscal conservatives in the past, and won’t have their cult leader to rally around.
