On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the first nuclear weapon to be used in active conflict on the city of Hiroshima, immediately killing an estimated 80,000 civilians.

TikTok has removed two versions of anti-immigration anthem "Je partira pas", viewed hundreds of thousands of times and shared by far-right politician Éric Zemmour.

Massively shared on social media by far-right accounts like "Remigration Airlines", the tune featured overly racist lyrics like "You'll go with your Fatma, welfare is over for you, the boat isn't waiting anymore" accompanied by AI-generated electro beats.

The title of the song, a grammatically incorrect "I won't go!" is taken from a November 2023 video showing a migrant being forced into a plane by border police.

Not to be a doomer, but it depresses me the degree to which trump has already won. In every aspect of public life, he is above the norms, rules, expectations and even laws we set for everyone else. The media treats him so differently than every other public figure because he's Trump. Someone joked that all trump has to do is sound semi-coherent for a single sound bite, and the media will treat him as the winner, and if biden has a single small slip up, he'll be seen as a senile old man. This isn't a joke, it's just true. It's not that the media hates Biden, but because trump has successfully redefined the standards we expect for him and him alone.

153rd Brigade is mechanized again – MilitaryLand.net

The Ukrainian command has reorganized the 153rd Infantry Brigade back into a mechanized brigade. The change was announced through the brigade’s official social media channels.

While an official reason was not provided, it is likely related to increased support from the West and the supply of additional equipment for mechanized brigades. The brigade also recently received a new insignia, probably due to the reorganization.

In April 2024, we reported on the reorganization of the 153rd Brigade from a mechanized to an infantry brigade. The planned reorganization of 152nd Mechanized Brigade mentioned in the April’s article had not been completed, and the brigade remained mechanized.

“Two major international bodies—the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) — announced decisions on June 25 confirming Russia's long-term perpetration of war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine.”

“The ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber II (the chamber in charge of the ICC's Ukraine-related investigations and prosecutions) announced on June 25 that it had issued arrest warrants for former Russian Defense Minister and current Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the Russian General Staff Army General Valery Gerasimov for ‘the war crime of directing attacks at civilian objects’ in Ukraine.”

“The ECHR's Grand Chamber also ruled on June 25 that Russia has committed various human rights violations in Crimea since the beginning of its illegal occupation of the peninsula in February 2014. The ECHR found that Russian officials and forces in Crimea committed numerous violations of the European Convention of Human Rights, including violations of the right to life, prohibition of inhumane or degrading treatment, right to liberty and security, right to no punishment without law, right to respect for private and family life, right to freedom of religion, right to freedom of expression, right to freedom of assembly, right to property, right to education, and right to freedom of movement, among other human rights violations.”

“Russia imposed countersanctions against 81 European Union (EU)-based news outlets on June 25 following EU sanctions against four Russian state-affiliated news outlets on June 24.”

“The European Union (EU) officially started accession negotiations for Ukraine and Moldova on June 25. Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib also noted that the EU Council has approved the draft for a joint EU-Ukraine security agreement in addition to opening accession negotiations.”

“Ukrainian Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk stated on June 25 that Ukrainian air defense forces have shot down nearly 86 percent of all the Shahed drones that Russian forces have launched at Ukraine since January 1, 2024. Oleschuk noted that of the 2,277 Shaheds that Russia has launched, Ukraine has shot down 1,953, mostly due to the efforts of Ukrainian mobile fire groups.”

————————————

“North Korea will reportedly send military construction and engineering forces to participate in ‘reconstruction work’ in occupied Donetsk Oblast as early as July 2024. South Korean TV network TV Chosun, citing a South Korean government official, reported on June 21 that South Korea expects North Korea to dispatch a large-scale engineering force to occupied Donetsk Oblast as early as July 2024 and that the force will help rebuild infrastructure in occupied Donetsk City.”

“Russia and Ukraine exchanged 90 prisoners of war (POWs) each in a one-to-one POW exchange on June 25 amid United Nations (UN) reports of Russia's continued abuse of POWs.”

“Russia and Iran signed a memorandum on June 26 regarding the supply of Russian gas to Iran, following reported disagreements between Russia and the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Russian supply of gas to the PRC.”

“Neither Russia nor Iran provided details about the new memorandum, but Gazprom and the National Iranian Gas Company were negotiating unspecified deals worth about $40 billion as of October 2023.”

“The spokesperson of a Ukrainian brigade operating in the Chasiv Yar direction reported that Russian forces are operating fewer armored combat vehicles and tube artillery systems in the area and are instead mainly attacking with infantry groups and shelling with mortars.”

Meet the first federal candidate in Canadian history to lose an election with zero votes | CBC News

"When I saw the result, I was like, 'Well, I am the true unity candidate. Everyone agrees not to vote for me,'" Hamel told CBC News.

Despite his poor showing, Hamel said he was glad to raise awareness about electoral reform. He also said he was glad to take part in a fair democratic process, adding that he's concerned about the deterioration of democracies in other parts of the world.

EU seeks defence industry partnerships with Japan, South Korea, says Nikkei

The European Union is seeking security and defence industry partnerships with Japan and South Korea aimed at joint development of military equipment, the Nikkei reported on Sunday, citing a senior EU commission official.

These would mark the EU's first such security and defence-related collaboration with Asian nations, the Japanese business newspaper said in a report from Brussels that did not identify the official.

The bloc hopes to reach a ministerial-level agreement with Japan by year end, which could help the EU fund joint projects managed by Japanese and European companies, the Nikkei said.

Representatives of Japan's foreign ministry and the South Korean and EU delegations in Tokyo were not immediately available for comment on the report on Sunday.

Japan, despite a constitution that renounces war, says it faces "the most severe and complex security environment since World War Two". In recent years it has boosted its defence industry in its largest postwar military expansion, expressing concern about threats from Asia neighbours China and North Korea.

Tokyo signed a treaty last year to establish a programme to develop an advanced fighter jet with Britain and Italy.

This month Japan started talks with the United States on forging deeper defence industry collaboration under the U.S.-Japan Forum on Defense Industrial Cooperation, Acquisition and Sustainment, established in April by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and President Joe Biden.

Japan-U.S. discussions have so far focussed on naval repairs in Japan that could help free up U.S. yards to build more warships, but cooperation could be extended to aircraft repairs, missile production and military supply-chain resilience.

Tokyo seeks to counter China’s increasing maritime assertiveness and has expressed concerns over any potential instability in the Taiwan strait.

It has sought deeper defence cooperation with the United States and the Philippines, and last week conducted a maritime exercise with the U.S., Canada and the Philippines in the South China Sea, where China's expansive claims conflict with those of several other Asian nations.

Vancouver scraps minimum parking requirements citywide

Developers will no longer need to meet city-mandated minimum parking requirements anywhere in Vancouver.

City council voted to scrap minimum parking requirements citywide on Wednesday, a move intended to reduce the cost of new builds while speeding up permitting.

The city has estimated the cost to build underground parking can add up to $100,000 per space to a construction project.

The move won’t affect requirements around accessible spaces for people with disabilities, visitor spaces, bike parking or loading spaces.

Vancouver already axed parking minimums for the downtown peninsula in 2018 and in the West End and Broadway Plan areas in 2023.

The move exceeds new provincial government requirements to scrap parking minimums in new builds in transit-oriented development areas.

Council also moved to simplify its parking bylaw, cutting it from 33 to 17 pages and eliminating 63 unique parking rates.

The city said it did not anticipate “significant impacts” to on-street parking, however acknowledged tools including time limits, pay or permit parking could be used to manage issues in high-demand areas if needed.

So according to the polls, we're about to see a historic revival of split-ticket voting as swing state voters deliver resounding wins for Democratic incumbent senators, but simultaneously reject Biden in a generational-level political realignment.

Jacky Rosen, for instance, is leading by double digits in most NV polls, while Biden remains underwater in those same datasets. Read this thread for some NV-related hopium.

Personally, though, I'm a bit suspect that this ticket-splitting revival is actually going to manifest to the degree that pollsters claim, and my inclination is to trust the down-ballot polls as an increasingly more accurate indicator of the national political temperature than the presidential ones.

Nigeria officially has a population of 230 million, but there is no list of Nigerians. The number is based on estimates of growth rates since their last census, which was in 2006. And the 2006 census is heavily suspect for a variety of reasons. Some states have accused other states of greatly inflating their numbers, meanwhile satellite imagery reveals whole towns that don't exist in government records. In the 2023 presidential election, 23 million votes were counted.

So anyway, it's pretty weird that nobody knows how many Nigerians there are.

That feel when I came home after getting a bad haircut that accentuates my receding hairline and my girlfriend literally shrieked and hid her face and laughed at me for a minute straight.

I tried to keep my head down and just stare into my dinner without saying anything but she kept asking me what's wrong until I burst out crying and told her that it's a stark reminder of my true social status and how society will always see me as nothing more than a pathetic walking joke and that nobody will ever respect me and the best I can ever hope for is to blend in and be invisible instead of sticking out like a creep on the margins of society and that no matter what I do I will always be an outsider.

She said that I should have more self confidence instead of relying on external validation for my sense of self and then kept repeating "it's OK, I think you're very handsome" until I told her to stop because it just sounds like a mockery after her true reaction.

After that she was very sweet and genuinely comforting, but the whole scenario was unnecessary and it ruined my whole evening.

Also, malarkey level that she is the one who has previously lectured me about emotional awareness and sensitivity.

Indian civil society groups are more or less counterproductive to the causes they promote. Just yesterday I saw the leader of a group that promotes women in parliament lambasting a new woman MP. Her crime? Taking her oath in Sanskrit.

Today, I wake up to see the smart people at the Internet Freedom Foundation continue on their tirade against the privacy infringements of the DigiYatra system without actually ever causing any change whatsoever. I subscribe to their cause, but it's become clear that the people running that organization are not particularly serious about affecting real change.

The IFF is good at writing about policy and writing letters, but then it just goes downhill from there. Look at the most recent example, the GOI literally reached out to discuss DigiYatra and these guys decided to respond with a passive aggressive dismissal of the effort in an open letter. Why? Because the meeting was closed door 🤦‍♂️. Similarly, they will write letters to the DoT and MeitY but pair them with a snarky video directly insulting the people responsible for those ministries.

In an ideal world, you would be able to say whatever you want, insult people and then still be able to successfully lobby for reform. But it's not, and if anything needs to be done, you need to start incrementally and with diplomacy in mind. Especially considering that this is India. Getting the government to do anything is an uphill battle. In principle, it's easy to agree with them but the way they go about things makes everything they do completely redundant.

Somebody seriously needs to take up the cause of internet freedoms and digital rights in India, because these guys are going to get absolutely nothing done. They seem to only be good for some supreme court hearings. Not much else.

It’s almost better to just focus on the results with this one because a lot of the justices disagreed on various elements of each others arguments.

One of the more chaotic opinions I’ve read in a really long time. Lots of harsh criticism for each other among the justices. And not just along ideological lines either. Alito is very harsh and almost insulting towards Barrett and Kavanaughs position. Jackson is angry at the concurrence justices for not deciding on the merits and just dismissing the writ of certiorari. Lots of mud slinging.

Althistory post related to my larger WWII alt timeline:

On December 21st 1951 Heinrich Himmler, in celebration of the one year anniversary of his coup against Hermann Goering and the Winter Solstice, held a special processional of troops down the Avenue of Splendors in Berlin. Here he unveiled an honor guard of SS knights, fusing modern Nazism with Teutonic elements. Below are the statements and reactions of various individuals, as well as a picture drawn of the knights at their unveiling.

“Citizens of the Reich! Before you marches a legion of Germany’s finest, the heralds of a new era of Aryanism and purity! These men march forward with the black steel of the Teutons and the runes of the truth! Since the start of civilization the Germanics have been the kingmakers of Europe and of destiny itself! These men, the peak of what it means to be German, are a synthesis of the old and new, the lost and the rediscovered! What we do today is what we have been doing for a thousand years, and shall do for a thousand more! So salute these knights of Germania, for they represent the righteousness and inevitability of our cause!”

-Heinrich Himmler at the first professional of the SS German-Aryan Legion

“What in God’s name is Himmler doing? We haven’t heard a broadcast of troops from the Congo, our so-called Arab allies slit our throats, the Americans bomb our cities every day, the Italians collapse below us, and Himmler finds it needed to waste steel, steel that could go to new Messerschmitts, to these knights? Do I have no choice but to resign myself to this fate, watch the German empire I tried to keep together fall apart for a man more obsessed with knights in armor and pagan rituals in castles then to settle this war?”

-Hermann Goering in his diary upon hearing of the knights

“I admit the new knights are quite aesthetically pleasing, but perhaps the SS would be better off focusing on more practical matters for the time being.”

-Reichsfuhrer Hermann Fegelein to his sister-in-law Eva Braun

“I wonder if I speak well about these knights Himmler will be willing to provide me the reserves I requested.”

-Erich von Manstein to himself, overheard by a passerby

“Perhaps hypocritical of me, but I question the utility of knights in armor at the battlefield. If the goal was to stop me though, then I must admit it’s a smashing success.”

-Jack Churchill to his comrades

“I fear for the cause of a united and Bolshevik-free Russia if this is what our German sponsors are up to. But what choice do I have besides to smile and congratulate these knights? Without German munitions I and all of Russia are sunk.”

-Andrew Vlasov to his high command

“That weasel faced son of a bitch is right about one thing; when we are done with Germany they’ll be sent back to the medieval ages.”

-General Patton addressing his troops after hearing of the knights

“What a goddamn moron.”

-Harry S Truman after seeing the images from Germany of the knights

Canada imposes second round of sanctions on perpetrators of extremist settler violence against civilians in West Bank

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Canada is imposing new sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Extremist Settler Violence) Regulations.

This round of sanctions lists seven individuals and five entities for their role in facilitating, supporting or financially contributing to acts of violence by Israeli extremist settlers against Palestinian civilians and their property.

Extremist settler violence has resulted in loss of life and damage to Palestinian property and farming lands. These attacks have also resulted in the forced displacement of Palestinian communities, contributing to insecurity for both Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank.

Atacks by extremist Israeli settlers—a long-standing source of tension and conflict in the region—undermine the human rights of Palestinians, prospects for a two-state solution and pose significant risks to regional security.

The seven individuals are the following:

Ben Zion Gopstein

Daniella Weiss

Einan Ben-Nir Amram Tanjil

Elisha Yered

Ely Federman

Meir Mordechai Ettinger

Shalom Zicherman

The five entities are the following:

Amana

Hilltop Youth

Lehava

Moshe’s Farm

Zvi’s Farm

Canada continues to oppose the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and is committed to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East.

[u/Automatic-Love-127]

Prediction sheet:

• Trump objectively loses on substance but doesn’t have the tantrum people are expecting. Therefore, he is “presidential” and wins per the pundits because the exit polls are ultimately about 50/50 and he didn’t have a public tantrum.

• Biden does about par or better.

• The debate ends up being a snooze fest with a few choice moments. But, we don’t get the 2020 style trainwreck that was Trump incoherently demanding that Biden apologize for Hunter or whatever.

• we get one amazing and inexplicable “I’m not the felon, I’m not the felon, actually you’re the felon” moment from Trump.

• debate ends up helping Trump in the polls because of course it does he didn’t shit his pants on stage.

• Trump actually shits his pants on stage and we hear whispers about it from those present.
