Got it, you fall for the laziest Russian propaganda imaginable. Probably doesn't make you a good judge of character.

Howden was one of 11 members involved in a group chat that discussed a 2018 incident, in which, a complainant, known as "E.M.", alleged sexual assault by five members of the 2018 Canadian World Juniors team including Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé, and Cal Foote. He testified in court as a witness present in the room when the alleged assault took place. No charges were brought against Howden.

Trump Revels in Threats to Commit War Crimes in Iran
The president said he would bomb Iran "back to the Stone Ages." Until this administration, American leaders had insisted they were trying to follow international law in war.

Fwiw they do have the full quote in their article now

If Iran's government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country's energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. Mr. Trump made the point in a crudely worded social media post.
"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!" Mr. Trump said. "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH.""
"Praise be to Allah," he added, using the Muslim name for God.
The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.

They mostly all do? Big disconnect between Schumer and “Democrats”

Jan 26 poll

Democrats overwhelmingly support eliminating
ICE (76% vs. 15%), as do nearly half of Independents (47% vs. 35%). Most Republicans (73%) continue to oppose abolishing ICE. Only 19% of Republicans support eliminating the agency, but that's a higher level than in any of the polls from earlier this month.

One former OpenAl employee, who spoke with CNN on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation, said "the race is incredibly intense," explaining that the top Al companies are engaged in a constant tug-of-war for relevance. "I think they're all rushing as fast as they can to get stuff out."
Another former employee who worked at OpenAl for several years told CNN mental health was not sufficiently prioritized.
"It was obvious that on the current trajectory there would be a devastating effect on individuals and also children," said the person, who also asked not to use their name out of fear of retaliation.

By this logic Apple Maps should also be removed due to its speed trap reporting feature. Ditto for any app with real-time bus locations.

According to internal correspondence reviewed by Migrant Insider, Apple told developer Rafael Concepcion that the app violated Guideline 1.1.1, which prohibits "defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content" directed at "religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups."
But Apple's justification went further.
"Information provided to Apple by law enforcement shows that your app violates
Guideline 1.1.1 because its purpose is to provide location information about law enforcement officers that can be used to harm such officers individually or as a group," the company wrote in its removal notice.
The decision effectively treats federal immigration agents as a protected class — a novel
interpretation of Apple's hate-speech policy that shields one of the most powerful arms of government from public scrutiny.

What I just sent

Hi Councilmember Hollingsworth,
I'm emailing about Amendment 111 to the Comprehensive Plan. I'm disappointed to see you putting forth a last-minute amendment to greatly reduce the size of the Capital Hill regional center and the CD urban center, added the day of the final public comment on the plan.
Can you help me understand:

Can you help me understand:
1. Why are you recommending this change? | see no such information in the memo that mentions this new amendment. Seattle has a severe housing shortage. This change removes almost 175 acres from the two centers, which would provide a huge amount of potential housing units. What is unique about this area that makes you think they should not see zoning changes?
2. Why is this being proposed at such a late date?
What prevented this amendment from being introduced earlier? I don't even see it listed on the 15. Updated Amendment Package for Public Hearing Notice document here so it's unclear if this amendment was even known about during public comment.
I strongly hope you reconsider this amendment and choose to remove it from consideration.

Jake Friedman@spaceisfun· Sep 16

The date I see listed on the doc is September 12, the final public comment day. Was this snuck in right before public comment started so no one knew it existed?
