A significant line crossed there.
World Cups have been hosted by some grim regimes in the past.
But this is the first time a team which has qualified has been told to stay away by hosts who won't guarantee their safety.
The competitive integrity of the tournament already in tatters.
And now, the American embassy in Sweden has asked Americans to avoid crowds. Does that mean the rest of us here are in danger because of the American government? Well thanks. I hope she recovers from the traumatic events in Ireland. 🙄
Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.
"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."
Estuvo bien chido el funeral de estado, y aún así, hay gente que dice que "si hay distinción entre el gobierno y el narco en México". Eeeeen fin.
On one hand, unlucky to lose.
On the other, Liverpool mustered about 0.25 xG in open play prior to the chance for the Salah goal in the 83rd minute.
The hell of 2025/26 goes on. Up the Reds.
I didn’t know Microslop was a thing until I saw headlines about Microsoft trying to ban Microslop on its Discord. Now I shall say Microslop a lot. That’s how it works.
It’s good when Microsoft, a company that likes genocide and environmental destruction, doesn’t like things.
Priming people for a forever war?
What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026.
OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down.

I owe my life to version control.
There’s already a different kind of air outside here in Bucha -- you can feel it.
It’s slowly turning warm in that unmistakably early-spring way.
The hardest winter of this war, and the coldest winter in many years, is finally drawing to a close.

Oh noooo, the company that extracted our data for their models is having others extracting data for their models
I bet by the end of March, some company gets massively ruined because someone important runs OpenClaw and leaks API keys, secure emails, etc
Oh Mac Allister 🎶
A lot of people holding forth on the worth of Bluesky based on what they want from it. It's a communication tool. You do you. I curate, and block or mute without a moment's hesitation. I don't owe my time or attention to anyone. You have freedom of expression. I have freedom to ignore your bullshit
Haha I love Ibouuuu ♥️
Ahh pues yo también lo soy. Y toda mi familia también.
That is not what the official reports from the government are saying. There was gun fight, four cartel members died, one of them was el Mencho.

Not if you're a local, just as an example, what went down with the major of Tequila, and that is just one of them, I'm sure there are many many cases like that.
No distinction between the two
Jalisco and Guadalajara are tearing themselves apart right now.

Email from Epstein to Goertzel: "free and home" Goertzel replies: ";-))) Congratulations!!!! Actually, I was just about to send you an email summarizing my recent progress, current situation, and future hypothetical plans...I'll probably do so tomorrow. I'm sure you're super-swamped, but it would be great to get together when you have the chance... ben" Goertzel continues: "p.s. Also, the Singularity Summit (futurist conference, but with some good scientific speakers this year) will be in NY this year, Oct 3-4...and Oct 5-6, afterwards, there will be a brainstorming workshop I think you might enjoy (where, basically, the ~20 speakers from the Summit will get together and try to make conceptual progress on various future-science issues). I'll remind you again when the date gets closer!"
