Also, the Crimes against Humanity framework does a way better job of emphasizing the systematic nature of the crimes.

The administration may well hope to use Bradley as a fall guy here, but it's important to remember that he would've knowingly gave an illegal order. He's no innocent party here.

That doesn't change anything about Hegseth trying to dodge his responsibility, but it's important to keep in mind.

It's a toss-up between "oh, so you want to run for office?" (no) and "could you solve this multivariable regression by hand?" (wtf, no, weirdo)

My reading of the (international) law here is that, while the strikes might be war crimes, they are absolutely crimes against humanity.

Also, the start of paragraph 32 gives away the answer to "why did Northwestern agree to all this"

Reminding myself that I became a Lions fan because, growing up in a house that didn't watch football, my only NFL exposure as a kid was watching them play (often not well) on Thanksgiving...

The oven is kapot, so it's a "melted cheese (raclette) for Thanksgiving" year.

This pivot, thankfully, easily preserves the main holiday tradition - watching the Lions after eating way too much.

Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US: 'You are effectively blacklisted by much of the world's banking system' Six judges and three prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have been sanctioned by the Trump administration. In an interview with Le Monde, Guillou discusses the impact of these measures on ...

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is.

The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.

W/r/t b - AI is a bit like tire fires.

Are they the biggest environmental threat? No.

Are they an environmental threat serving no real purpose? Yes.

And sure, widespread backyard tire burning might motivate recycling upgrades, but there are better ways to get there.

Hell, the "peace plan" they surprise dropped just a few days ago should've been a good reminder of that

The EU "peace plan" including a "US guarantee that mirrors Article 5" is so deeply representative of the EU's inability to honestly evaluate the current moment.

If you give Ukraine a US security guarantee and five euros, Ukraine walks away with five euros. The US is not a credible partner.

So, one for the NFL crowd - what's the opinion of TV commentators laughing about a QB being kicked in the head during a sack celebration?

I mean, I knew Sam LaPorta was a great player and an important part of the team. I just didn't realize he was the load-bearing pillar of the entire damn thing, include defense and special teams

It's worth remembering, though, that Rubio speaks with all the authority of a ficus.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

The thread does a nice breakdown, but the "peace plan" is fundamentally a 'great power deal' where Ukraine isn't a country but a set of bargaining chips.

Continually surprised by European leadership's ability to be surprised.

Trump has repeatedly - and loudly - signaled his position here. Hell, the guy invited Putin to the US.

Hoping for a sudden change of heart, and crossing your fingers that the US is a credible partner, isn't a viable strategy.
