Ukraine’s Vulnerability Grows as Starlink Is Restricted and Russia Escalates
A huge attack cut power to 600,000 people in Kyiv, and a Pentagon-funded satellite internet program appeared to be curbed without warning
Anyone who relies on Trump and Musk is already doomed.
Anyone who still buys weapons, fighter jets, and other technology from these traitors—or does business with Musk—is beyond help!

Dudes. WTF is wrong with you?
The BBC is asking a federal judge in Florida to force Donald Trump to sit for a deposition as part of the president’s $10bn defamation lawsuit against the British broadcaster.
According to a Tuesday filing, the BBC and Trump’s legal team had agreed for him to be deposed on Friday.
The BBC’s lawyers wrote to the judge that they have spent months trying to secure a location for the deposition from Trump’s team.
On 28 September, Trump’s lawyers told the BBC’s counsel that the president “is no longer available for his deposition on October 16 due to other matters of national importance”.
While Trump’s lawyers said they would follow up quickly with a replacement date, they did not,
ultimately suggesting that he would be available in the second or third week of January,
well after the deadline to complete the discovery portion of the case.
Lawyers for the BBC had pledged to keep the location of the deposition confidential.
As such, the BBC’s lawyers are now asking the judge to require Trump’s team to schedule the deposition.
“Plaintiff chose to file this lawsuit and, in doing so, he accepted the obligations of civil litigation,”
the BBC’s motion reads.
“The BBC therefore asks the Court to compel Plaintiff to confirm a date for his deposition,
notify the BBC of a secure location where such deposition is possible and any other logistics required to ensure Plaintiff’s safety,
and sit for the deposition, as the core rules of discovery require.”
Magistrate judge Enjoliqué Aytch Lett has scheduled a discovery hearing that is likely to touch on the deposition issue for 22 October.

Also: if you think that having a kid is going to somehow 'fix' your relationship, it won't.
Owning Samsung appliances is great, because you get used to paying someone $100 to come out and tell you that it doesn't make economic sense to try and fix it
@NMBA Canada with the 2nd largest land mass of any country has the unique opportunity to take advantage of the most alternative/renewable energy options of any country.
But our 21st century super-power relies on a 100 year old technologies to export billions of profits to foreign owners?

Welcome to #TransTuesday!
There is NO ethical consumption of Harry Potter
Not the books, movies, or tv show. Not licensed games or merch. Not fanfic. Not even pirated.
EVERY bit keeps the franchise alive and enables JKR's transphobia
If you truly care about trans people, you need to let it die
