Indian national charged with plotting the murder for hire of a Sikh activist is extradited to the US
  • To be honest though it’s happening everywhere - Canada and the US have had cases of this too. They got super mad when our PM called them out on it.

    We would have to solve it through sanctions / diplomatic action, but that’s politically sticky right now, at least for the US and Canada.

  • Record 120 million people displaced globally — UN report
  • And we still get idiots saying “I don’t understand why we’re sending billions of dollars to foreign countries.”

    These are the same “secure the border” people.

    It hurts my brain make it make sense.

  • Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to talk about foreign interference
  • I’d bet money that PP also is unsure as to whether he can actually get the clearance or doesn’t want to disclose what is required to get the clearance. At that level you need to disclose your assets and liabilities, previous convictions/criminal charges if any and go through a security interview. It makes me wonder what he is hiding financially or otherwise. Do we want a PM that can’t even get a high level clearance ffs?

  • Trump Says Supreme Court Should Bail Him Out of Criminal Conviction
  • Notice how Trump dilutes and distorts the meaning of words on purpose so they don’t hit as hard when used toward him. I find it terrifying that he’s openly calling everyone a fascist. He’s being honest about his true intentions, America.

    When someone tells you who they are, believe them!!!

  • I was detained at a US airport and asked about Israel and Gaza for 2 hours. Why? | Ilan Pappé
  • Show me where I said “he couldn’t possibly be connected to Hamas?”

    But technically if you want to make the argument that Israel is responsible for Hamas, shouldn’t they be stopping every Israeli at the border in the US?

    No, it seems they’re targeting this guy in particular because he advocates on behalf of Palestine.

  • Matthew Perry: Los Angeles police launch investigation into actor’s death
  • lol and also see John Mulaney’s latest “Baby J” on the topic of doctors prescribing whatever:

    Paraphrasing - what you do is you go to Yelp and look up doctors in your area. And then you sort by lowest rating and you find the lowest rated doctor. They need your business.

  • Cheaper Case for Libra Colour (Canada)

    Just ordered this one from Amazon and it’s good!

    It doesn’t have the standing ability so if you’re looking for that wait longer. I’m just looking for something to protect it when I throw it in my purse.

    It’s got a pen holder and magnetic wake/sleep.

    Spring/Summer Light Hoodie

    Just finished this. Took about a month. The pattern is free!

    Since it’s unisex I used a Caron cotton cake in DK I think and knit the small size. I followed the guidance on the label for needle size. It started as an experiment and ended as a happy accident.

    Also, I modified by adding the panel in the hood and icord string.

    www.ctvnews.ca Pilots describe 'bizarre' lights and 'triangles' over Canada in air traffic control audio

    At least four flights reported 'multiple lights sometimes in a triangle formation' high above the Canadian Prairies one morning earlier this month, according to air traffic control audio obtained by CTVNews.ca.

    Help with Feker Alice98 original factory driver

    Hi - don't judge. This is my first mechanical keyboard and I'm playing around with something in budget that meets my needs as a beginner. I know it's not the best but I'm genuinely looking for help and knowledge here.

    Yes, I know the allegations about the software/drivers for this keyboard being flagged as malware and have done research into this, though apparently not enough research. I downloaded what I thought was the driver for this keyboard but did not realize that it was a Via driver that broke the battery indicator and any possible connection to the (apparently terrible) software.

    Would anyone have access to the original driver so I can roll the keyboard back to factory settings? The factory setting reset (function + esc 3 sec) doesn't roll back these changes. I tried to download one on Weiyun based on advice from the other site but everything is in Chinese and it does not seem to work.

    Alternatively, does anyone know who I might contact to obtain this driver? I contacted the seller on AliExpress but they are spotty at best.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Mike Turner’s Involvement with Radiance Technologies

    X-Post from the other site; text below if you don’t want to visit. Found this interesting and didn’t see it 3 months ago when it was posted by u/UrdknotWreav:

    By now we all know Mike Turner is the DOD's knight in shining armor, who's gonna protect the DOD's fragile and brittle reputation, from the hordes of savages who are demanding more hearings.

    The below publicly available information about Mike, might become handy at some point.

    To summarize:

    So Mike Turner, helped funding Radiance technologies. The company where both Travis Taylor and Jay Stratton are currently employed. Jay Stratton, Travis Taylor and David Grusch all have worked together in the UAPTF.... WTF?

    We have Mike Turner in the center, connected somehow to Radiance Technologies, Wright Patterson AFB, Department of Energy, receives shitloads of money from Lockheed Martin and other defense companies.

    As you can see there's way more to Mike Turner than meets the eye. Is he perhaps one of the gatekeepers?

    Coworker/Friend makes her kids her personality and won’t stop talking about them.

    I’m pretty close with this person outside of work and we used to have good non-work conversations but now I feel all I get is stories and photos of her children. We work in a tight knit team so I can’t really avoid them.

    I got no less than 3 updates this weekend about a sports event with her kids including photos; more photos and another update about said event this morning; another photo of another child; updates about what her toddler was doing, and updates about how her kid made the track and field team and she absolutely needs to take time off work to go.

    I don’t ask for this and I don’t really respond when she does it. I prefer to talk about other things. We used to talk about other things and now it’s kids 99% of the time to the point where it feels really one-sided. I tried to talk about a concert I went to this weekend and got really lukewarm reception.

    I’m thinking I need to tone it down and say goodbye to the relationship/chit chat for a while? I feel if I tell her bluntly I’m tired of hearing about her children it will hurt her feelings. Any ideas?
