Twitter bans political ads, caving in to ‘election meddling’ fearmongers

Twitter bans political ads, caving in to ‘election meddling’ fearmongers Twitter has officially banned political advertising, admitting there’s no way to prevent bad actors from gaming the system by spreading disinfo and that they don’t want to be responsible for potential negative outcomes. “We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought,” Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey declared via tweet on Wednesday, officially pulling his platform out of the election-season advertising drama that has engulfed fellow mega-platform Facebook. We’ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons…?— jack ???

Climate change denial is the new ‘flat Earth’ & causes WILDFIRES, California ex-governor testifies Add California’s wildfires to the list of problems caused by US President Donald Trump. The state’s former governor has warned Trump and his fellow Republicans that “the blood is on your soul”... for denying climate change. “California’s burning while the deniers make a joke out of the standards that protect us all. The blood is on your soul here and I hope you wake up,” former governor Jerry Brown snarled, during a House Oversight Committee hearing on the Trump administration’s recent decision to bar California from setting its own auto emissions standards. “This is not politics, this is life, this is morality…this is real,” he continued.

Tories jeer Corbyn’s green tie, forcing dismayed Theresa May to hiss… ‘it’s for Grenfell!’

Uncategorized

Tories jeer Corbyn’s green tie, forcing dismayed Theresa May to hiss… ‘it’s for Grenfell!’ Tory MPs were given a reprimand by former UK PM Theresa May in parliament after they laughed at Jeremy Corbyn’s green tie – worn in honor of victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, during a debate following a report into the tragedy. The Labour leader was in the middle of paying tribute to the 72 people that lost their lives in the tower inferno in June 2017 when the Conservative backbench MPs in the House of Commons began to mock his green tie. The reaction could have only been taken as ignorance or insensitivity, especially in light of the fact that the victims’ families were looking on at proceedings from the public gallery. ...

UFC 244: US president Donald Trump tentatively scheduled to attend huge UFC event at Madison Square Garden US president Donald Trump is understood to be considering attending UFC 244 this weekend in his home city but how will he be received by the crowd just days after being booed by fans during game five of the World Series.

ALIEN WATER from beyond our solar system found on interstellar comet ‘Borisov’

Uncategorized

ALIEN WATER from beyond our solar system found on interstellar comet ‘Borisov’ Water from a completely alien star system has been detected on the interstellar comet 2I/Borisov, which is currently passing through our space neighborhood. In an extraordinary breakthrough, astronomers studying Borisov believe they have detected the tell-tale signs of water on the visiting comet. Water from another planetary system has never before been spotted inside our solar system. Borisov was spotted by an amateur astronomer on 30 August, and the professionals have been scrambling to analyse before it flies away. Researchers had already detected gas being spewed from the comet’s surface, but finding water would signal a hugely significant discovery. ...

Migrant rescue ship Ocean Viking arrives in Sicily after nearly 2 weeks blocked at sea

Uncategorized

Migrant rescue ship Ocean Viking arrives in Sicily after nearly 2 weeks blocked at sea A humanitarian rescue ship operated by two French charities has arrived at a port in Sicily after nearly two weeks blocked at sea. Ocean Viking arrived in Pozzallo on Wednesday morning, 12 days after it rescued 104 migrants from a rubber dinghy off Libya, AP reported. Ocean Viking refused a Libyan instruction to land there, as it is not considered a place of safety. On Tuesday, a solution was reached when Italy said it would allow the migrants to disembark after Germany and France agreed to take them in. SOS Mediterranee, one of the charities that operates the ship, has expressed relief at the agreement, adding that it was only an ad-hoc solution. The migrants were from eight countries, incl...

Woker than woke? Obama CANCELS ‘call out’ culture, tells Americans ‘good people have flaws’

Uncategorized

Woker than woke? Obama CANCELS ‘call out’ culture, tells Americans ‘good people have flaws’ Cancel culture and “woke” political correctness has found a new and surprising critic in former US president Barack Obama, who warned American liberals about the folly of demanding ideological “purity” from everyone around them. Speaking at his annual Obama Foundation summit on Tuesday, the former president blasted the current liberal trend toward ‘calling out’ and ‘cancelling’ anyone who says or does something which is not considered ‘woke’ enough for the modern age. This idea of purity… and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically woke and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. “The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People wh...

‘Hanging does not cause these broken bones’: Epstein’s injuries more consistent with homicide, noted pathologist says Jeffrey Epstein’s injuries suggest his death was more likely to have been a homicide than suicide, according to New York City’s former chief medical examiner, hired by Epstein’s brother to observe the sex offender’s autopsy. Dr Michael Baden, told Fox News that the wounds on Epstein’s body “are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation.” The pathologist added that he had not seen such wounds in a hanging case in his 50 years of professional experience.
