Labour has dropped the Conservative government's plan to object to the International Criminal Court's application for an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu.
Fox News posts this article mentioning the amount of Marijuana charges that were prosecuted while Kamala Harris was DA, basically stating that she's a hypocrite. It's nearly 2,000. What it neglects to mention is only 45 of them actually ended up doing prison time. Is she perfect? Nope, there are no perfect candidates, but always, ALWAYS, look for context.
Despite the substantial number of convictions, many of the people who were arrested for marijuana during Harris’ tenure were never locked up or never even charged with a crime.
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver Right, it's crazy, I just wish it didn't work on people and that they could also maybe think that people can change positions over time.
@technotenshi @Sir_Osis_of_Liver And even then she did it with leniency to non-violent offenders, but yeah, a lot of people seem confused about what the DA does
The fact that in order to #RDP into a #Windows machine requires a #LocalAccount and the fact that #Microsoft really really doesn't want you to use a local account I find quite humorous.
Ever time I log-in to #LinkedIn I am thankful that I'm now (mostly) retired. Shit, just reading my "feed" which is mainly comprised of industry leaders, former coworkers, vendors, and other #cybersecurity & #PKI "news" literally gives me a minor anxiety attack just looking through it. LinkedIn really needs a setting for "retired" that turns all that shit off! At the same time I don't want to unfollow people because I don't want to burn any bridges. So I very rarely login........
i look at it more casual - i am not all that important and also i can be almost anybody so people can get upset but will that last - likely not and you should probably change accounts every so often, invariably you end up following the same people and vs vs; if you have lowered expectations you won't ever be disappointed - there is really not all that much on the line with regards to social media unless you are running a biz and then it is only slightly more important, the real winners are the platforms, it is give and take but generally they take more with tracking/ads/ etc
For the longest time I didn't even have a LinkedIn account. I signed up for one shortly after the service launched (like a lot of people) but within a year or so I found I was getting FLOODED with vendors cold-calling me or even worse using the OSINT they had gathered from LinkedIn to try to phish me or scam me in other ways.
Back then our CIO was a woman named Becky but her LinkedIn profile had her down as Rebecca. I reported either directly to the CISO or to a manager that reported to the CISO for my entire career.
Then there was our CISO. Guy by the name of Tom. Except everything with Tom's name on it had "Thomas". But Tom never went by Thomas (and hated that form of his name).
So I would get vendors calling me telling me the had lunch with Rebecca and she told them to get with me about seeing about a demo, or they met Thomas at a conference or something and blah blah blah. Knew it was all bullshit. And the fact that my desk was literally catty-corner to the CISOs for my entire career too meant that all I had to do was get up and walk 2 feet and ask h

So I deleted my account like I said maybe a year maybe 2 after LinkedIn first came on the scene.
And I didn't create a new account until about 6 months before my retirement because I wanted to keep in touch with some of the connections I made both with coworkers and vendors.
But now...
Now there's maybe 3 or 4 people I actually want to hear from. LOL.
Trump wasn't joking or being cleverly ambiguous when he told white Christian nationalists that this will be the last vote they need to make if they help elect him.
But you can be sure Big Journalism will just laugh it off as another "there goes Trump again" minor story, or at most a one-day story.
If Harris said something like this, you would never hear the end of it.
The Canadian government's decision is not about the Jewish National Fund's role in ethnic cleansing, per se, but because the charity provides direct support for the Israeli military.

Massive traffic accident on the I-15, a truck carrying lithium batteries this morning. Northbound I-15 is closed (and jammed beyond jammed). #I15 #Barstow
Oh wow, we have ANOTHER "off the road" incident of frustrated drivers going off into the desert, misled by Google/Apple/Waze maybe?!?! 4wd!!! "100s of vehicles all over the place" 🤯 #trafficjam #I40 #mojave #mapquested
Darn, we have yesterday's traffic there, but not today. Will check another satellite. Cool thing: if you are lost in the Mojave in a vehicle, you ARE VISIBLE on Sentinel-2 satellite.
Bad thing: it takes several days... maybe 4-5... for an update.
Oooh... that sucks Caltrans CCTV map showing that traffic jam out in the freaking middle of nowhere. It's hot. Nowhere to stop. Nowhere to get gas. Nowhere to get water. #mojave #i40
Oooh. Road rage in the desert, someone pounding on the door of someone else stuck in traffic. Someone screaming and running across lanes. Semis have roadblocked I40/Kelbaker. (thinking the Semis actually might be doing some good by not pushing more people into that mess, tho). #I40 #Vegas #Mojave
Here's the other route it gives you... Interesting bit of routing in the middle. Barstow to Las Vegas via the I-40 (with a detour in the desert)! #desertdisaster #LasVegas #Mojave
Oh my... Google is most certainly directing people through a network of 4WD dirt track... I suspect a bunch of traction-challenged sedans got bogged down and now... no one can go anywhere. #DesertDisaster #LasVegas #Mojave #I40 #GoogleMaps
With the world and media focused on Olympic games, Gaza genocide and suffering of up to 2 million people will go unnoticed even more.
Israel has intensified it barbaric attacks against Palestinians in Gaza and occupied west bank, despite ICC ruling and calls from ever growing list of countries for end of the assaulta and bombings of defenceless Palestinian civilians.

Aight fellow #ScreenReader users... I'm trying to load a ringtone onto my #iPhone using #iTunes on a #Windows machine. My primary screen reader is #JAWS. So far, I am unable to load the .m4r file into the tones section of the program while my iPhone is connected. What gives? Any input greatly appreciated. #blind #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind
I’ve been wanting to update my ringtones. I have a MacBook Pro M1 and a windows 11 Pro. I was wondering which would be easier to use with a screen reader. Jaws or VoiceOver to do ring tones. iTunes on windows 11 or something new now that they have moved beyond iTunes. I know the Mac can be difficult as I tried unsuccessfully before.
