Was Targeting Ayatollah Khamenei and Other Iranian Leaders Lawful? After Ali Khamenei was killed in Iran war a key question arises: when is striking a member of the enemy leadership lawful?

At @justsecurity.org Professors Marko Milanovic and Mike Schmitt (@mikeschmitt.bsky.social) write about the international law rules applicable to the targeting of Iran's leadership. www.justsecurity.org/133171/ayato...

Specificity in a character makes them feel real and grounded, which then makes their emotional arc ALSO feel real and grounded, and thus... relatable. Additionally, it reinforces that so much of what we feel, what we struggle with, find purpose in, is universal.

That's not true. But the British withdrew from India in 1947 because there was a rumour that Chotiner had requested an interview with the Queen

Donโ€™t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

The idea that blank slate characters are more relatable because people project themselves onto them is one of those just-so stories that refuses to die. It's the opposite! People relate to specificity!

A school in Tehran has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.

Baghaei shared a video purportedly showing the aftermath without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.

I had the original giant box with that big book; It was a toss up between that and Baldur's Gate 2 but I never really got into BG2 and sucked at it. But I loved STARTING it 3000 times.

omg this sounds like a dream neighbourhood: Tempe, in Phoenix USA, where there's no parking available and its designed for walking. For some reason, this has summoned that ancient ghoul, Katie Hopkins, to crawl from her tomb to spout her bizarre bigoted nonsense.
