The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas's Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare "total victory" so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye....
I'm betting on that even if the Hamas chief offers himself, the states and Israel will try to swing it as a look-a-like and will conveniently find the "real" one shortly after occupying all of Palestine, so they can keep trying to bring attention back to a single person

On one side we have Pierre and the Conservative Party who are clearly copying the GoP Fascism play
On another side, we have Trudeau and the Liberal Party who can easily be argued are compromised by China
And on yet another side, we have the NDP who has no track record on running the country and could have any number of issues flying under the radar because the media prefers to concentrate mostly on Red and Blue
A group of influential Republican senators has sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan, warning him not to issue international arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, and threatening him with “severe sanctions” if he does so....

Wish it was seeing more success where I work. Then again, I have batshit coworkers calling the boycott "Dumb", that Loblaws "Is the cheapest place", and think a successful boycott would "Cost jobs" (we're fucking union no it won't), so maybe it is being effective and I just hear the negativity from coworkers able to buy stock shares because of working here out of boredom rather than need
Staff on floor. Who are also unionized. It's like, shut up you elderly bag you clearly are not doing this because you have to and as such can afford the stock buy in program and not need to choose between eating and rent
At least some other coworkers are sane and agree with the boycott

Which is why it pisses me off when people go, "Third Party/Not Voting". Other elections, fine. This election? Dems need to win. Period. They need all three branches of government and enough of a margin to prevent getting Manchin'd. Anything less means there will not be a second chance
Destroy the GoP first, THEN focus on smacking around the Dems
"Their frustration is understandable, but this kind of expectation betrays a misunderstanding of what's actually driving food prices higher in this country."
As a retail employee at loblaws, don't believe any of us who say it's not a problem and the profits aren't obscene. They offer stock options as a perk - So those doing it as a bored get out of the house option are essentially bought
Part of the problem is they apply Japanese copyright law to an international level. Wouod be cool if they hit the wrong target, got sued for trying to apply their laws to the world stage, and got matched each time they appealed until their war chest got drained dry
No it isn't, but it does highlight the main issue:
Communism would work if it weren't for people trying to co-opt it for power
Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism is the end goal (since, it being automated, means there should effectively be no way to hijack it), but we ain't getting there for a long time. Let's go for socialism first and work from there
Researchers in China have reportedly developed a new technology similar to hydropanels for harvesting water out of thin air that is powered by energy from the sun. The device could be especially useful in dry, arid areas where water — but not sunlight — is hard to come by....
Harvesting is different from generating - Here I thought it was using solar energy and some previously unexplored process that rips the O2 from CO2, then adds that to Hydrogen
The U.S. is concerned that targeting Russia’s energy facilities will impact the Kremlin’s oil production capacity and drive up global prices — ahead of a knife-edge presidential election where prices at the gas pump are bound to be a contentious topic....
Only reason I can think for Ukraine to listen is to not end up with the US run by a pro Russian asset, and even then that's just, "Wait til after the election"
And even that isn't a good reason since Russia should be getting flat out blockaded, so their oil shouldn't even BE in the calculation
