The pic checks out. 😆

I don’t know what this is but Lapid and Bennet have been “Together” for a while now and they’re nowhere close to the frontrunners. Eisenkot is the apparent competition of Bibi, if any.

Plus they chronically lie so it’s safe to assume it’s more.

External regime change rarely works. The ghouls behind him aren’t less bloodthursty:

This is a systemic problem that requires systemic solition. Put more DSA antibodies in power.

I think that’s plan B if the shit show continues past the midterms. Although really it should be part of plan A. If we’re still in the shit after the midterms, eventually Ford/GM/Stellantis are gonna be looking for assembly plant buyers and if the examples in Europe show anything - the BYDs of the world are gonna be buying them up.

We can last another 2.5 months. And if the elections fail to flip the clown car, we’ll go to plan B.

I recall how a few of us who highlighted this risk (as well as the cost increase risk) back in the early 2010s when UofT was starting to migrate from on-prem (sovereign in newspeak) services to Microslop’s cloud. We were called crazy paranoid, etc.

Shared Services Canada (SSC) renewed its agreement with Microsoft Canada to procure software and services for the Government of Canada. In addition to the services renewed under this agreement, SSC will now be able to provide all public servants with access to Office 365, thus laying the groundwork for a digitally-enabled public service.

That’s awesome. If I had to guess, the data of the Teams call might not leave Canada but it might be stored temporarily in a Canadian Azure dc where it’s STT-ed, transcript analyzed and matched to whoever’s bid to be called up. The bidder could be an American firm and the call to it isn’t the Teams data so “no foul” been committed. 🤭

E: some might call this industrial espionage.

Honestly. The fact that Israel isn’t taking this generous offer to wipe its hands clean just speaks of how far gone many Isrealis are. For example, Bibi’s main contender could campaign on handing him over to the ICC. Instead he does this: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-politics/2026-07-22/ty-article/.premium/israeli-opposition-leader-eisenkot-blasts-mamdani-over-netanyahu-arrest-call/0000019f-88eb-ded0-abdf-aeeb3f950000

Prominent anti-Netanyahu bloc frontrunner Gadi Eisenkot says the New York City mayor is attempting to ‘rewrite history’ after calling on the U.S. government to enforce the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu

Truly the Epstein class.

Won’t be difficult either - declare people are suffering from gender dysphoria, make that “mental condition” part of the mental health gun control restrictions.

Word. My Friday evening beer math:

I always try to stick to one beer. These days I manage to not exceed a couple.

Trans friends, arm yourselves. Being targeted for violence changes the risk equation.

Enters a Mexican restaurant. ICE arrives minutes after.

Balaclava OK?

The newly developed dependence on US gas is a problem.

True. I guess the bar set in capitalist countries is so low, anything remotely competent looks amazing.

Other Evergrande executives, including Hui’s two sons Xu Zhijian and Xu Tenghe, were also sentenced to jail terms ranging from 22 months to 18 years, according to state media.

This part is interesting - lends further credence to this being a real punishment and not merely throwing one guy under the bus.

That’s not the system we live in. It’s only marketed to us as such so we keep allowing it to serve that class.
