The evidence of "sniper safaris" in Bosnia is substantial enough to be convinced that they happened, but nobody has ever faced trial, nevermind justice. Hopefully Italy's investigation gets to the truth of the matter, even if justice would be decades too late for the alleged victims.
Italy probes claim that tourists paid to go to Bosnia to kill besieged civilians
Italians and others are alleged to have paid large sums to fire at Bosnians risking their lives in besieged Sarajevo.

Everything about this is hilarious (be sure to check out his work experience), but my favorite part is that he managed to butcher that ubiquitous, easily verifiable Sparta quote to the point of completely obscuring its meaning.

This is rape culture.

This is why so many people don’t come forward.

A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.

She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.

Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”

NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative

There is no legislative product yet.

No consensus in the party about a plan.

But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts.

Bluesky’s major contribution to US politics is concentrating online progressives into a smaller site that people with bigger platforms can use as a cartoon strawman punching bag.

Second-order effect of Musk taking over old Twitter, on top of the direct brain cooking on there.

There is no need to wonder why!

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.
"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.
