Germany’s AfD party on Wednesday banned its leading candidate from appearing at EU election campaign events, after France’s main far-right party announced a split with the Germans over a slew of scandals involving the politician.
Biden gave ammo to the Russian propaganda when he questioned the legitimacy of the ICC arrest warrants and implicitly accused them of playing politics - which is basically Putin’s line. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up with Putin being allowed to travel freely again.
A helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed on Sunday, according to Iran’s state media and the country’s mission to the United Nations, but has yet to be found by search-and-rescue workers because of heavy fog.
That one was way more deranged. The Senate of Berlin allowed Helmut Kentler to send orphans and other kids that had to be removed from their parents to pedophiles’ homes with the logic that since pedophiles “love” children they would treat them better than the average foster family. And it went all the way from the 1960s to the 1990s (which meant that some kids were stuck with the pedophiles until the 2000s because removing them would blow the cover up).
If Microsoft increases the price of Game Pass Ultimate to add Call of Duty I’m going to cancel my subscription. Just add a new tier called Game Pass for Suckers That Buy The Same Mediocre Overpriced Game Every Year and include Call of Duty on that.

Between the 800 years and the Seven of Limes are two things showing that either Reno has paid a visit to the 24th century or the writers lost the plot.

Ok let me rephrase for pedantic people, adjectives with trans prefix have a correspondent cis adjective.
And an electrical cisformer would be something that would keep energy inside the same circuit at roughly the same voltage, so basically a wire. Feel free to use the term if you want to oversell something.
Genocide is not killing people, it’s killing a culture/ethnicity or displacing from the area where they live. Technically you can commit genocide without killing a single person.

What he’s saying is that major studios are locked playing chicken with each other, and that the industry is going to remember the 1983 crash fondly in comparison with what’s going to happen.
I’ll never understand how the US, of all the places in the world, in the world, tolerates a law that allows the state to forfeit private property without due process.
Because international law is more about “there’s a general consensus about this” than written law (and in few places this is as true as what counts as a sovereign entity), this kind of organized action can have more impact than they might seem at first.
