How?

Nah, it’s both The Iran conflict is a boon for Russia’s ‘war machine.’ And it’s not just about oil

He was taking care of russia, not trying to win anything.

I think it was more that it was on Epstein letterhead.

What are these? Is this a 7-11 special?

Usually while being closeted.

But aren’t they weakening the overall districts? Maybe it doesn’t matter in these districts, not sure.

By doing it this way, rather than grouping most of Salt Lake City into one Democratic stronghold and creating three safely Republican seats, Republicans have an opportunity to maintain control of all four House seats next year.

But they have also risked creating a so-called dummymander — a gerrymandered map that backfires against the party it’s intended to favor. Republicans drew two light-red districts — one more competitive than the other — that could both potentially flip toward Democrats in a year that strongly favors them.

Along with two safe Republican seats, the new map, which must still be signed by Gov. Spencer Cox and approved by a judge, creates one district that Trump won by about seven percentage points last year, and another district that Trump won by about 2 points.

So was this about the oil? Yesterday, he said russia’s oil can be sold again. I’m guessing that’s flying under the radar now.

“Frankly, to go get it—we’re going to go get it—but to go get it is a big deal, because they say only China and us have the equipment,” said the president. “You could make the case, ‘Why do you even bother?’ because it’s not very valuable, you know. It’s probably half a million dollars worth, it’s not very valuable stuff.”

As the Iran war upends energy flows, Russia is emerging as the real winner

Russia is shaping up to be a major beneficiary of the war between U.S.-Israel and Iran, as higher oil prices and temporary sanctions relief boost the value and volume of its crude exports, analysts told CNBC.

Sounds like the band read the room wrong. It’s kind of weird to call out someone for wanting attention while on stage too.

The fan later took to Instagram Stories to reveal that the costume was destroyed after the End It gig, per a report from The PRP. “People have been trying to dim my sparkle my entire life. It sucks, but I’m used to it,” he wrote. “I’ve surfed hundreds of people in this suit, all genders, all ages, safely. Especially, a lot of first timers that felt safe to approach me for their first surf.”

“[End It], two of your band members crossed the line…and I’m obligated to speak on it,” the fan continued, addressing the band directly. “F**k the police? While policing what people wear?”

He added, “The message last night; Conform or get called out, exactly the opposite of what hardcore is supposed to be. I was an unwilling participant, attacked and clothing removed at the direction of a band I paid to see.”

It sounds like you trust Apple. I don’t

From 2022: Apple sued for tracking users’ activity even when turned off in settings The iPhone maker knows a lot about what a user does on their phone.

App developers and security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry from the software company Mysk recently found that iOS sends “every tap you make” to Apple from inside one of the company’s own apps. According to the developers, attempts to turn this data collection off, such as selecting the Settings option “disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether” did not affect the data from being sent.

From 2026: Apple plans to change its Hide My Email privacy feature that could make it less effective

Apple said in a note to developers on Monday that in the coming weeks the company will move its anonymously generated email addresses to @private.icloud.com, effectively making it easier for apps and websites to know that an email address is private and block users from signing up.

Existing addresses will continue to function and forward mail without interruption, Apple said in the note to developers. The company added that app and email providers would have to update their filtering to ensure that emails to customers who rely on the feature continue to go through.

Several Apple users on Reddit criticized the change to the email domain, saying it would make it more difficult to use the service.

From 2026: Siri AI may be privacy-first, but the new ‘personal-context understanding’ features really creep me out

Here’s the thing. it doesn’t actually matter how secure Apple makes its AI, I’m still not too keen on it being able to dive into the depths of my phone to score for data. It doesn’t matter if the goal of that is to hand over some random piece of potentially-helpful information when it thinks I might need it.

This Tim Cook?

That would be awesome if we heard trump actually say what he did. I could see him feeling invincible with his team. We’ll have to wait and see, again.

All of what you’re saying is true, but ultimately it has been proven that revolutions don’t work 99% of the time, even if conditions are good for one. LGBTQ and Civil Rights knew what they were doing. Unfortunately, it’s a long slow process. America has had really shitty leaders like trump before, so we’ll have to see if the hamburgers win or not, and go for the long slow win.

I’m not sure of what to call this technique you’re using. Maybe ‘The Circle Technique’ because it’s ultimately about starting a revolution? It also has the doom loop, so maybe?

• doom loop (make everything seem like we’ll never see the end of it, etc.)
• how about a revolution?
• you won’t do it, you’re too weak pussies.
• bury the person calling it out.

It’s more about the technology that I found interesting, so the pure stream of observation.

Acquisition by Axel Springer

In October 2021, the large German publishing and media firm Axel Springer SE announced that it had completed the acquisition of Politico for over $1 billion. The closing took place in late October 2021.[52][53][54] The new owners said they would add staff, and at some point, put the publication’s news content behind a paywall.[55][56][57] Axel Springer’s Chief Executive Mathias Döpfner said that Politico staff would need to adhere to Axel Springer’s principles,[58] including support for a united Europe and Israel’s right to exist, advocate the transatlantic alliance between the United States of America and Europe and a free-market economy, and that staff who disagree with the principles “should not work for Axel Springer, very clearly”.[59] Axel Springer said that they would not require Politico employees to sign documents in support of a transatlantic alliance or Israel, though this policy is enforced at German newspaper Bild, another Axel Springer subsidiary.[60]

In September 2022, Politico published an exposé critical of NGO leadership at the helm of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic response, written in cooperation with the German newspaper Die Welt, another Axel Springer property.[61] In May 2025, Argentine entrepreneur and Axel Springer board member Martín Varsavsky resigned after accusing Politico of left-wing bias.[62][63] Varsavsky cited Politico’s news coverage of Israel during the Gaza war.[64]

The good news? It sounds like not many people were into it.

Did you think of it naturally or did it come to you after you’ve been online? I fall for propaganda occasionally still, and I’ve been trolled pretty hard for years. I know what to look for.

A revolution against our current military machine would be suicide for you and maybe your family. Don’t even let that enter your mind.

Sorry, I’ve been trolled a lot lately. First instinct, and thought you were one too. There is a serious effort on lemmy for Americans to start a revolution. It’s not new, it’s been going on since reddit days, but they’ve been going 100% since the start of trump’s second term.

• doom loop (make everything seem like we’ll never see the end of it, etc.
• how about a revolution?
• you won’t do it, you’re too weak pussies.
• bury the person calling it out.

I’m getting kind of sick of it. I understand why they try it, it worked on the Jan 6 idiots.
