No definitely not my cup of tea. I prefer my limbs intact.

I have a very low appetite for risk compared to the lads over in Rojava.

I personally wouldn't go up to the big bomb and touch it but then I am a cowardly Westerner unused to the presence of unexploded ordnance in my back yard.

Thomson Reuters criticized by some Minnesota employees over its ICE contract Workers at the company’s Eagan campus pressed their concerns to executives, including over potential misuse of license plate data, during Twin Cities immigration surge.

“Thomson Reuters aggregates a wide spectrum of public and proprietary information into CLEAR — billions of data points in all.”

This is why I would argue that renewables construction is too important to be left to the private sector. We need to build capacity as fast as possible, so the government should directly invest in and own wind and solar farms.

It's great being a freelance journalist because while I have no regular income, I still get libel threats from companies I am investigating. This time a company is saying its libelous if I repeat the publicly available information that has already been published by a council.

Very interesting!

I thought Britain placed Iceland under its ‘protection’ in 1809 but didn’t need to formally annex it?

Really looks like the US and Israel want to turn Iran into another Gaza.

Maybe an owl will arrive at the home of every Icelander carrying a personally addressed apology note along with the vouchers?

Drone attack targets Iranian Kurdish opposition camp near Erbil, Iraq, security sources say. - Reuters

Today in Iran…

Interesting that the KDPI seems to be the main proxy for this and not PJAK, who are militarily stronger.

It’s kind of an artist’s job to create a striking image that people talk about. I’m guessing you’re not a big art fan.

I’m interested that you would use an image from a conspiracy subreddit which undermines any argument you are making about the serious problem of institutional child abuse. Why would you do that?

So you understand that what is posted on r/conspiracy is nonsense but you used it anyway to prove a point that you think the artist was trying to send some kind of message? Ok then.

When has Starmer ever stuck to his guns though? He went back on almost everything he said to get elected as Labour leader. He’s a man out of his depth who seems at the mercy of forces far greater than him.

So that’s a yes then? You do believe that the painting was made so that if you manipulate it on very specific ways you can get it to look like satan? Seems like a pretty big claim to me.

Do you believe the portrait of Charles was intentionally made to resemble satan if you mirror it and turn it upside down?

As yet another Middle Eastern conflict sends oil and gas prices soaring again, many people are asking the obvious question of why governments insist on leaving renewable energy construction to the private sector rather than building it as quickly as possible.

r/kurdistan 5h Son of Iran's toppled dictator addressed the country's minorities, including the Kurds he threatened with force last week for seeking autonomy. Social media users were quick to compare his rhetoric to Khomeini's hollow promises decades ago. Within a year, Khomeini declared jihad against the Kurds. رضابهلوى

This is the biggest problem that the Iranian opposition has - its main guy is an untrustworthy Western asset who could easily be as bad as his dad.

We are taking r/conspiracy seriously now are we?
