I assume it’s Meta’s ownership of WhatsApp now that Zuck donned the red tie.

This is heartbreaking. They went down right in the middle of the Potomac. It was so close to the airport that their friends and loved ones were all waiting to pick them up when it happened.

Clearly. Composite cables should go video (yellow), left audio (white), then right audio (red).

Silly kitty.

Upvoted for interrobang.

I was never big into strategy guides, but tips & tricks mags like Nintendo Power were so much fun. My favorite wacky Easter egg was if you enter the Nintendo customer service telephone number from the bottom of the console into the code entry field in Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, you’d get a busy signal.

Those mis-stated phrases are called eggcorns. They’re a fascinating contributor to the evolution of language.

The term egg corn (later contracted into one word, eggcorn) was coined by professor of linguistics Geoffrey Pullum in September 2003 in response to an article by Mark Liberman on the website Language Log, a group blog for linguists.[5] In his article, Liberman discussed the case of a woman who had used the phrase egg corn for acorn, and he noted that this specific type of substitution lacked a name. Pullum suggested using egg corn itself as a label.[6]

He’s doing exactly what he said he’d do. Too few of us believed him.

Trump: You just have to vote in the next one. After that, we’ll have it fixed so good you won’t have to vote any more.

MAGA: C’maaaan, he’s kidding! The President can’t just stay as long as he wants. You libtards are overreacting!

A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday made it harder for the federal government to win court orders when it suspects a company of interfering in unionization campaigns in a case that stemmed from a labor dispute with Starbucks.

The justices tightened the standards for when a federal court should issue an order to protect the jobs of workers during a union organizing campaign.

The court rejected a rule that some courts had applied to orders sought by the National Labor Relations Board in favor of a higher threshold, sought by Starbucks, that must be met in most other fights over court orders, or injunctions.

The NLRB had argued that the National Labor Relations Act, the law that governs the agency, has for more than 75 years allowed courts to grant temporary injunctions if they find requests “just and proper.” The agency said the law doesn’t require it to prove other factors and was intended to limit the role of the courts.

The case began in February 2022, when Starbucks fired seven workers who were trying to unionize their Tennessee store. The NLRB obtained a court order forcing the company to rehire the workers while the case wound its way through the agency’s administrative proceedings. Such proceedings can take up to two years.

 

The prosecution contends the reimbursements were falsely classified as legal expenses to conceal their true nature — part of a hush-money deal with Daniels. Prosecutors also say this was done to affect the election’s outcome, not merely to save Trump personal embarrassment, and therefore amounts to election interference.

Trump’s team argues the money paid to Cohen, who in the past said he would take a bullet for Trump but has also become an aggressive critic of the former president, was indeed for legal services.

 

Israel must immediately halt its military operations in the area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the United Nations top court ruled on Friday.

The ruling by the International Court of Justice marks a major condemnation of how Israel is conducting its war against Hamas in Gaza, but also leaves open whether the ruling can be enforced.

 

A former U.S. military intelligence official released a letter on Monday that explained to his colleagues at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that his November resignation was in fact due to "moral injury" stemming from U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and the harm caused to Palestinians.

 

In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of "taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses."
