#SevenYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff

September 15, 2017 โ€“ Following a terrorist attack on the London subway, Donald Trump responded to the event by propping up his travel ban. He also falsely suggested in a series of tweets that authorities had identified those responsible, and that those people had recruited others online. British Prime Minister Theresa May rebuked Trumpโ€™s speculative claims.

Josh Shapiro on Vance's latest CNN disasterclass: "That was bonkers ... the US senator from Ohio just came on your show and blamed his own constituents for his own lies. This guy is so pathetic ... JD Vance should be ashamed of himself."

Can you read Latvian, or you can share this with someone who can? If so, perhaps you can help me.

I have 68 archive documents from the Latvian National History Museum, describing traditional farmhouse brewing, dated 1925-1943. But I canโ€™t read them and need the text translated.

The dots on the map show where the documents are from. If you can help, please contact me (e.g via email to larsga@garshol.priv.no). I will send you a document. Theyโ€™re mostly short (1-2 pages), the longest is 7 pages.



Akhmatโ€™s commander Apti Alaudinov said that Ukrainians let captured Chechens call relatives to push for an exchange. He refused, calling the proposal infuriating and saying true Chechens donโ€™t surrender, urging captives to do everything to be killed in captivity. byteseu.com/420884/ #Ukraine #UkraineWarVideoReport #UkraineWarVideos #UkraineWarVideoReport

Will the toughest problem in maths ever be solved?

For many, not just mathematicians, the Riemann hypothesis is the very definition of a supremely difficult problem that might be forever beyond our intellect. Most mathematicians had given up on it, being pessimistic about making any headway. But recently, the first progress โ€“ although not a solution โ€“ in more than 50 years has been made.

You mean, taunting people with artificial scarcity? With something that will become mundane in a couple weeks? THAT kind of Rod's work?

#Gaza #Palestine

Israel is recruiting African refugees for "life-threatening" operations in Gaza in exchange for settled status in the country, sources have revealed.

There are approximately 30,000 African asylum seekers in Israel.

They have faced growing pressure from anti-immigrant politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who regularly refers to them as "infiltrators".

I often go on long walks around my neighborhood for exercise. And I often see ridiculously huge trucks or SUVs parked on the street.

These monstrosities are not only ugly, they're also extremely dangerous.

But fortunately, Jen Sorenson (@jensorensen) has a solution!

in reply to Bread and Circuses

this is a difference between a lifted, functional utility minded "large" truck that is literally used to tow people out of off-road trails (including things up to the size of busses) and one of the smallest off the line trucks you can buy today.

One of them is tall for a reason, clearance of bolders and other obstacles, the other literally has no clearance and would be functionally worthless off-road yet is taller and has a much smaller windshield and larger hood/entire front of the vehicle.



Key stages in the decline of academic Marxism


#economics #politics #Marxism

Of course this critique of Marxism is mostly wrong on many aspects, but it's at least honest (instead as being completely bunk as 99% of similar endeavours). It's somewhat similar to people criticising Darwin for not having a functioning genetic theory to try invalidating evolution.
