We encountered evil. Calling to wipe Israel off the map, calling @mayor.nyc.gov a bootlicker, baby killer, traitor, or whatever other vile slurs you can invent does not make you brave, principled, or pro Palestinian. It exposes something much uglier:🧵 www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Video: Protesters Disrupt Oct. 7 Vigil and Boo Mamdani
Pro-Palestinian protesters crowded a vigil in Union Square, where New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani joined a pro-peace Israeli group to mark the third anniversary of the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7.

Unfortunately the Minister probably just added an extra couple of zeros onto the settlement these three referees are gonna get if WP follows through and dismisses them. The Minister should work on changing the law so character references are unacceptable for all rapists rather than only this one.

At the time of the deal that created this Nasdaq-listed joint venture, partner Hut 8 Inc. bought World Liberty tokens. Eric Trump also got a stake in American Bitcoin, at no cost.

A company controlled by Donald Trump’s revocable trust is entitled to 75% of net revenue from token sales by World Liberty Financial.

Donald Trump licensed his name and image to a company called Celebration Cards LLC, which raised enormous sums selling the digital token.

The Nasdaq-listed company, recently renamed AI Financial Corp., raised money from investors to buy World Liberty Financial tokens.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

The Australian, with no trace of embarrassment about the behaviour of its journalist Ms Albrechtsen, continues to misreport the earlier findings of Kaye J. Drumgold was successful in obtaining a declaration by Kaye J that a reasonable person would apprehend Sofronoff to be biased against D.
The Australian: The ACT Integrity Commission probe was launched after Acting ACT Supreme Court judge Stephen Kaye last year found Mr Sofronoff's behaviour during the inquiry gave rise to a "reasonable apprehension of bias". However, he upheld the majority of Mr Sofronoff's
findings against Mr Drumgold.
