accounts with non-US banks have also been partially closed.
I wonder what that means.


Yup, this Rain Dove has been caught out lying in social media a few times…


87% of aid given by Israel before the ceasefire was intercepted/stolen before it reached the distribution point. UN monitored and updated the figures on their web site daily.
UN refused to allow the IDF to deliver it because that would be politicizing aid apparently.
Seems odd that this gay person managed to deliver anything or was even allowed into Gaza.


It is like the gays for Palestine.


My friend in Australia had a judge lie that he pleaded guilty to a previous crime (in reality the chips dropped the charge). That kind of bias can invalidate her decision should he appeal (there were plenty of other errors in the decision too).
However it is near impossible to find a lawyer who will appeal and point out the judge lied because that lawyer would fear coming up against the corrupt judge in future.
You wish.

Paragon’s “zero-click” Graphite program can quietly invade the mobile phone of its target and extract its contents, even from encrypted apps.
How? Screen scraping? That would involve installing malware on each phone.
Wired magazine wrote it up in more detail. It will also reduce spam (which the Secret Service announcement ignores).
Why does one need so many virtual phones for swat threats?
Yeah I know: Dunning-Kruger effect.
When I had intense legal problems I found myself being stupid and then regretted decades ago judging all the kids at school who may have had horrific home lives.

less than 1 percent of shootings where four or more people were wounded in public were by trans people, and that over 97 percent of the mass killings were committed by cisgender men
That’s a useless statistic on its own.
Roughly 1% of the population is trans so they are neither more likely nor less likely. Just like ordinary people (despite being vilified). In fact, if you leave geriatrics out of the calculation, trans folk are less likely to commit these killings.
[EDIT: And if the comparison is trans folk with cisgender men then the later are about twice as likely to commit these killings]
So the author’s insinuation is correct despite their logic being wrong, however they are not going to convince pearl-clutching conservatives with that article as it stands.


average of over 60,000 daily active moderators” that month, which, at the time, would mean that 0.1 percent of all mods equals 600 people.
No, it equals 60 people.
Phreeli won’t, at least, offer a platform for spammers and robocallers, Merrill says. Even without knowing users’ identities, he says the company will block that kind of bad behavior by limiting how many calls and texts users are allowed, and banning users who appear to be gaming the system. “If people think this is going to be a safe haven for abusing the phone network, that’s not going to work,” Merrill says.
