Zionists set to finalize Nvidia deal for stolen land with major new campus in north
The approvals were required under Israel’s Land Law because Nvidia is a foreign-controlled company. The deal will allow the global technology giant to establish a new development campus on state land, allocated without a public tender and at a 51% discount.The proposed 51% land discount is valued at tens of millions of shekels. Officials cited the significant economic impact on northern Israel, noting that thousands of employees would work directly at the campus and that hundreds of additional businesses are expected to benefit from providing services to the site.
According to the plan, Nvidia will build a unique, large-scale campus unlike any previously seen in Israel, modeled in part on the company’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California. The project is expected to span approximately 160,000 square meters and employ about 8,000 workers.

Law proposed by northern Ontario MP would allow judges to award money to outreach groups
A federal law proposed by a northern Ontario MP could see community groups get funding through the justice system.
The private member's bill from Sudbury Liberal Viviane Lapointe would allow judges who issue fines to criminals to direct that "restitution" money to charitable organizations.
The bill specifically mentions groups combatting homelessness, addiction and human trafficking.
Cristina Scarpellini, the founder of Angels of Hope Against Human Trafficking in Sudbury, says this came up at the trial of a man who was running a local prostitution ring.
"Although the survivor did mention to me that she did feel that there was justice, but she did say to me, 'You know, where's all my money that I made him? Why's he allowed to keep that? Why isn't it going to organizations or myself?" she said.

All Life on Earth Comes From One Single Ancestor. And It's So Much Older Than We Thought.

Sure:
Scientists FINALLY figured it out! The numbers of ancestors that all life came from is the SMALLEST number! LESS than 4. And the AGE of this ancestor is so old that the only human that can comprehend it is ISAAC EINSTEIN!!
But anyway, reading the article..looks like this is the meat of it:
For years, scientists have estimated that LUCA [last universal common ancestor] likely arrived on the scene some 4 billion years, which is only 600 million years after the planet’s formation.But a study from an international team of scientists pushes that timeline back even further to some 4.2 billion years ago.
The scientists estimate that while LUCA was a simple prokaryote, it likely had an immune system, meaning it was already fighting off primordial viruses.

People might mistakenly assume that, because the US is a big world leader with lots of people, maybe 25% of all people live in the USA, or maybe it's like 21% and we are just slightly overrepresented in prison population. aybr it's 17%, or even 12% would make that number seem less shocking.
But it's 4.2%. We have six times more ~~slaves~~prisoners with jobs per person than the rest of the world.

I'm seeing that the Gulags had about 18 million people passed thru them from the 1920s to the mid 1950s, with about 1.5-1.7m died in detention. Population of Sov.Union 1920 - 136.8m, and 1950 178.5m. About 10% died in the gulags per these figures.
britannica.com/place/Gulag
Currently approx. 11.5m are imprisoned world wide. And the USA has about 1,808,100 incarcerated. Thus approximately 15.7% of all incarcerated are in the USA.

Would you be more comfortable if we compared 1920-1950 for gulags, and US prisons? Or how about just a point in time for the USA and world prisons. OH wait, I already provided you with that with the second reference. What would make y'all happy?

The Soviet Union lost 25 million people altogether during WW2, many millions of those from hunger and disease due to horrifying conditions all over the country after the 1941 Nazi invasion. 25 million over 150mn is around 17%. Gulags themselves weren't particularly deadly, it's the whole Nazi invasion that triggered mass death

He dreams about USSR and loathes what our country has become. He has citizenship of our country and with all his love to Russia, and the fact that he speaks fluent Russian - he would not move to Russia in any time. No matter how supportive he is towards Russia, I am sure that deep inside he knows that his life would be fucked if he would move there.
Another interesting person I know is an old man who refused to get citizenship after fall of the USSR. 30 years he lived in EU and didnt really wanted to learn local language and get citizenship. Since the war started, out politics made a move to get rid of russians and their culture (I dont respect it, but it, to a certain degree, makes sense). So he got himself in a pickle - either learn language and pass an exam, or you gonna be deported back to Russia where he shares language and culture. He passed language exam from a second try. Still supports Russia tho.

Garbage place, I visited once and it was literally stomach turning how much suffering was surrounded by so much wealth. The only places I've seen more miserable and places the USA has been colonising or bombing.

I think it makes for interesting reading, as even this rather adversarial document seems to indicate that the propagandised view of them is exaggerated. They do point out some nutty things, some of which were improved.
I think the idea that the USSR was some uniquely evil place is just patently false, it seems to be pretty ordinary in the evil produced, ahead of its time in some regards (e.g. women's rights, certain ethnicities inclusions, anti homeless architecture etc), and dissapointingly typical in other regards like treatment of lgbt people, mental illness, exclusion of certain ethnicities, approach to criminal rehabilitation and so on.
