The tweet has been deleted, but Ukraine refuses to apologize.

It's obfuscated by Biden finding a mealy-mouthed way to say that "blanket bans on trans kids aren't okay, but targeted bans are permissible." And yes, this also means that a trans child being on puberty blockers likely won't matter.

congrats to them! Some facts about them is that both are teachers BUT only receive 1 paycheck (even tho both had to pay for school) Both have a drivers license which required both to take a driving test.

China Railways has announced plans to develop a bullet train capable of standard operating speeds of 450km/h. The CR450 train will be the latest model in the CR400 Fuxing (“Rejuvenation”) series. At present, these run at 350 km/h, although they have reached 420km/h in test conditions. Zhao Hongwei, chief researcher of the China Academy of Railway Sciences, told China Daily that the more advanced model would be unveiled soon. She said: “The general design and schemes for the train’s subsystems are expected to be finalised next year, and the train will be completed in the near future.” Zhao, who oversaw the development of the Fuxing series, said the difficulties researchers are facing now are not the same as they faced while developing the first generation of trains, which leant on technology developed in Japan and Europe.

Gallup surveys in 137 countries show Russia’s image has suffered worldwide since it began its war in Ukraine. For the first time in Gallup’s history of tracking ratings of world leaders, the majority of the world disapproves of Russia’s leadership. High-income, Western-aligned democracies tended to give the highest disapproval ratings, with figures exceeding 90% in the U.S. (93%), Canada (91%) and 10 European countries -- including Poland, one of Ukraine’s staunchest allies in Europe, where 95% disapproved. In Ukraine itself, 96% disapproved.

Update:

Marianne did an amazing conversation for The Breakfast Club. The comments are overwhelmingly positive to her reception. She was pressed on a lot of issues and statements and responded back with great answers. My personal favorite part was after 17minute mark when Marianne gets fired up about injust economic system and why it's being kept that way! Everyone should take their time to listen to this, especially undecided ones!

New YorkCNN — Vice Media will cancel its acclaimed program “Vice News Tonight” as part of a broad restructuring that will result in painful cuts across the organization, the company said Thursday. “In response to the current market conditions and business realities facing [Vice Media Group] and the broader news and media industry, we are moving forward on some painful but necessary reductions, primarily across our News business,” co-chief executives Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala announced in a memo to employees. Dixon and Lokhandwala, who stressed that news is “core” to the larger company and that it will not “exit” the business, added, “We are transforming Vice News to better withstand market realities and more closely align with how and where we see our audiences engaging with our content most.” The cuts will result in dozens of employees losing their jobs, people familiar with the matter told CNN, with the company’s Washington, D.C., bureau being hit particularly hard. The exact number of jobs lost by the changes, however, was not clear. The restructuring will have major implications on news teams at Vice Media. The company will sunset the Vice World News brand and fold its operations under the Vice News umbrella, giving the company a singular news brand. It will also slash its dedicated audio unit, as well as the Vice World News short form video team. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/27/media/vice-news-tonight-canceled/index.html

Rest in Piss, but it's sad that she and the others responsible for his death will never be held accountable.

Russia blew up its own North Stream pipeline using the submarine rescue vessel SS-750. Another L for pro-Kremlin conspiracy theorists.
