I just watched a live interview with Taylor Lorenz. She said that everyone in the article was children between the age 11-17. She said that many of the children knew people who had been victims of ICE and some of the children were re-enacting things that they experienced.

She also said that one child was shouting "No human is illegal" and shooting at ICE in roblox.

I was trying to find the official statement from the Chinese Embassy in Israel. Global Times says you need a special phone app to get alerts from the embassy. Global Times and CGTN are news in China, but the articles are short.

This article from earlier in the day shows a different alert from the Chinese Embassy app.

My take away is that the behavior is irrational. I see a bunch of panicked posts about Trump's truthsocial statement. With this White House statement being contradictory, Trump's statement could be empty or it could be real. It does seem like a Biden moment as the other user pointed out.

White House tells CNN that Trump's "immediately evacuate Tehran" message is meant to indicate that Iran needs to return to negotiations with the US.

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.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

 

"I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World."

"Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%."

"They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA!"

Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met for about eight hours with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Geneva in their first face-to-face meeting since the world's two largest economies heaped tariffs well above 100% on each other's goods.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that an 80% tariff on Chinese goods "seems right", suggesting for the first time a specific alternative to the 145% levies he has imposed on Chinese imports.

Neither side made any statements about the substance of the discussions nor signaled any progress towards reducing crushing tariffs as meetings at the residence of Switzerland's ambassador to the U.N. concluded at about 8 p.m. local time. (1800 GMT)

The discussions are expected to restart on Sunday in the Swiss city, according to an individual familiar with the talks, who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The 80% number is just something that Trump posted on his social media early on Friday morning, before any meeting ever happened.


UPDATE Trump posted on truthsocial, 1 hour ago. He describes the meeting with the phrases "total reset" and "great progress". I won't believe this until I hear the perspective from China's government.

Rumeysa Ozturk was arrested by ICE for co-authoring an opinion article in the university newspaper, criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza and suggesting the university divest from Israel.

 

They praise Elon for like a solid 30 minutes. Hinkle says he loves everything about Elon except for working with Netanyahu. Errol Musk describes Israel as an ideal society, says that Israel is "civilized". Both say that they hate the South Africa ANC.

"secured relief for Gaza" is in reference to Errol Musk claiming that he gave Elon's Starlink to Hamas.

The two sides discussed the United States' imposition of so-called "reciprocal tariffs," implementation of the upgraded China-Russia investment protection agreement and ways to deepen bilateral trade and investment cooperation.

Wang also highlighted the continued deepening of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership.

Reshetnikov affirmed that China-Russia cooperation is mutually beneficial, not targeted at any third party, and serves the fundamental interests of both nations.

 

Joint Striking Drill of Long-range Artillery and Missile Systems of Sub-units of KPA on Eastern Front Conducted.

Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and its vassal sates are staging a series of nuclear operation drills on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity after making a nuclear war against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea a fait accompli and opening to the public an extremely adventurous scenario for a nuclear war. This reckless act of aggravating the situation requires the armed forces of the DPRK to prepare for a rapid reaction capability and a thoroughgoing war posture.

The joint striking drill was conducted on May 8 to raise the fighting efficiency of long-range artillery and missile soldiers sub-units on the eastern front amid the intensive combat drills at all levels of the Korean People's Army being organized and conducted to improve the whole army's overwhelming capability for countering a war in the spirit of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un guided the joint striking drill of long-range artillery and missile systems.

He was accompanied by Pak Jong Chon, Jo Chun Ryong and Kim Jong Sik, senior officials of the WPK Central Committee, Full General Jang Chang Ha, general director of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, and Kim Yong Hwan, president of the Academy of Defence Sciences.

Mobilized in the drill were 600 mm multi-layer rocket system and tactical ballistic missile Hwasongpho-11-Ka.

The drill was aimed at making the sub-units acquire the procedures for the operation of the above-mentioned rocket and missile attack systems according to the state nuclear weapon combined management system.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK, introducing the drill, said that it would be a sufficient measure of action to show the rapid counteraction posture and capability of the armed forces of the DPRK capable of coping with the change of the military situation in the sensitive region where the enemies are aggravating.

Prior to firing, the drill inspected layer by layer the operational reliability of "Haekbangashoe" system.

There took place detailed trainings for making all the sub-units master the procedures and processes for rapidly switching over to the nuclear counterattack posture and a separate special lecture on the operation of the counterattack system for the commanding officers.

Then, the firepower sub-units hit simultaneously and in order, separately and jointly different targets of the enemy in the assigned direction and distance.

The goal of the drill was achieved and the reliability of the command and mobilization system capable of quickly reacting to any nuclear crisis was verified.

Stressing the need to steadily enhance the pivotal role of the nuclear force in all aspects of the strategy to deter war and the strategy to fight war, Kim Jong Un said that it is very important to steadily perfect the normal combat readiness of the nuclear force.

He said that the DPRK should continue to direct efforts to steadily improving the long-range precision striking capability and efficiency of weapons systems, proceeding from the security environment of our state and the realistic requirements of modern warfare.

He affirmed that the radical growth of the artillery force would foresee many changes in the practice of our future military actions and give greater and different possibilities to securing the operational capabilities of our army.

Saying that it is the consistent policy of the Workers' Party of Korea on building the armed forces to preferentially intensify the qualitative superiority of the artillery force with a firm viewpoint that strengthening artillery entirely means strengthening the fighting efficiency of the army and the nation's defence capability, Kim Jong Un set forth the important tasks for further increasing the combat reliability of the tactical nuclear weapon systems and steadily expanding the operational space in a compound way. -0-
