Minnesota Lawmaker Assassination Suspect identified as Vance Luther Boelter in c/news@hexbear.net
[–] dead@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

I am clarifying because right wing twitter have declared the shooter to be a left wing radical. I'm suspecting right wingers will create conspiracy theories similar to the David DePape situation, where they claimed that the attack was motivated by a lover's quarrel.

I'm highly doubting that the motivation of the shooter was that he supported free healthcare. The suspected shooter worked for private security, had US military ties, and owned a cop car.

This is the suspect that the police announced. He's very fed-coded. ~~I think he's also South African.~~

Editing this comment because I can't confirm that he was from South Africa. He was a member of "Minnesota Africans United", a connection for the network of African immigrants in Minnesota.

The devs have said that all of the poe 2 engine code is being backported to poe 1. They may have already backported much of it. There is no "I can only play poe 2 because poe 1 code is bad". It's the same code.

Both games run on mostly the same code. POE2's game engine is based on POE1's code. There's even examples where POE1 features have accidentally been left in POE2, example: the POE2 anointment window prompted you to use tainted oil, an item which doesn't exist in POE2.

For performance issues, update your graphics driver, delete the game graphics cache files.

The title is kind of confusing. The WSWS (trotskyist newspaper) has declared Mikie Sherrill to be a CIA asset because she was in the US Navy. She's not openly CIA like Elissa Slotkin.

Trump’s supporters have interpreted the message as an endorsement of violence against Trump – the 47th president. There is more debate around the use of 86, a slang term often used in restaurants to mean getting rid of or throwing something out

China Ministry of Foreign affairs says countermeasures against US Fentanyl tariff will remain (hexbear.net)

https://www.mfa.gov.cn/eng/xw/fyrbt/202505/t20250514_11622840.html

CCTV: It was reported that after China-U.S. Economic and Trade Meeting in Geneva, China will lower the tariffs on U.S. goods from 125 percent to 10 percent for an initial period of 90 days. Meanwhile, the U.S. will cut its tariffs on Chinese goods to 30 percent, 20 percent of which is imposed on the grounds of the fentanyl issue. What is China’s comment?

Lin Jian: China and the U.S. reached multiple positive common understandings at the economic and trade meeting in Geneva. Both sides agreed to slash tariffs on each other’s goods. The U.S. committed to remove 91 percent in tariffs, and suspend 24 percent in “reciprocal tariffs.” China would accordingly remove 91 percent in counter tariffs and suspend 24 percent in counter tariffs. The two countries respectively retain the remaining 10 percent in tariffs.

Right after the U.S. groundlessly levied two rounds of tariffs on Chinese goods under the pretext of the fentanyl issue, China responded with tariffs and non-tariff countermeasures to firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. These countermeasures remain in force.

Bloomberg: The former Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said the U.S. has made it clear to Beijing that failure to coordinate on the fentanyl issue must come at a price and that China does have the capacity to stop the flow of precursor chemicals. What is the Ministry’s response?

Lin Jian: I have just stated China’s principled position on the fentanyl tariff issue. China has made it clear more than once that fentanyl is the U.S.’s problem, not China’s. It’s the U.S.’s responsibility to solve the issue. Despite the goodwill China has shown, the U.S. wrongly slapped tariffs on Chinese imports by citing the issue of fentanyl. The move has dealt a heavy blow to China-U.S. dialogue and cooperation on counternarcotics, and gravely hurt China’s interests. If the U.S. truly wants to cooperate with China, it should stop vilifying and shifting the blame on China, and seek dialogue with China based on equality, respect and mutual benefit. China firmly opposes the irresponsible and false accusations made by the U.S. individual you mentioned.

the evolution of calling things "slop" (www.youtube.com)

"slop" doesn't mean "thing I don't like" -- "slop" is something that is low effort to make, non-nutritious, and consumed by the masses

I'm starting to wonder if categorizing all media and art as content has made us devalue it and if calling everything slop is the natural progression of a world that doesn't value art.

https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-says-will-remove-us-sanctions-syria-2025-05-13/

Trump said he would remove all sanctions against Syria, saying they had served an important function, but it was now time for Syria to move forward.

"I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness," Trump told an investment forum in Riyadh.

"It's their time to shine. We're taking them all off," Trump said, "Good luck Syria, show us something very special."

Sharaa was for years the leader of al Qaeda's official wing in the Syrian conflict, before he severed ties with the global jihadist network in 2016.

My observations from the interview inside the spoiler window.

spoilerThe brother's name is Louis Prevost. Louis is a chud.

Louis says that his brother was not super political, not left or right, "finds a way to go down the middle"

Louis is against illegal immigration. Louis says violating US law is not different from violating church law. Compares undocumented migration to violating church law.

Louis considers himself to be "anti-woke". Louis says the pope is not "woke".

Louis says that he believes the Pope will appoint women to advisory positions in the church but not allow them to be priests.

Louis says same sex marriage is "not correct", but thinks the Pope will allow gay people to attend Catholic church.

Louis posted Paul Pelosi conspiracy theory on twitter, the chud conspiracy theory that Paul Pelosi and David DePape were secretly in a romantic relationship.

Louis refers to himself as a "maga type".

Louis posted on twitter that Biden allowed "gangs of illegals creating havoc without any punishment"

Louis has met Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump in person.
