The article does not clarify whether or not it was hit. Only that there was a drone, and it was shot at. The article also says the authorities have not yet returned a comment ("préfecture maritime de l'atlantique" and "le parquet"). Tbh I would think we would know if it had been downed.

I'm thinking, and all that comes to mind is monsters that lure men to their doom with their beauty, that create lust with a beautiful appearance or hypnosis to reveal themselves as monsters. Mermaids, Cat People, Jennifer's Body, Under the Skin etc. Not much love.

I know Thiel has a history of being aggressive with the press, but do you have any evidence that he "scrubbed" this interview from the internet ? I found this thread looking for the Mordor quote that's posted everywhere, so thanks for the source there.

Hello Kriss it looks like the investigators might have the same dumb take s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It's all a bit sad, really. It's like they're just pretending to address the problem, and sure, if you're an optimist, maybe it is the beginning of something sensible.

+ France gets to say "look we get one unwanted person back, but then they take an unwanted person in", so they can also sell it politically

The idea of enabling asylum demand outside of UK is common sense and good. WHY would you then make the number of available spots dependent on the number of desperate people sent back? Answer: so you can argue to a hostile RW crowd that you're not increasing the number of immigrants/brown ppl

Given the current political climate I seriously can't see them expanding the deal into something functional anytime soon. The cap on legal asylum entry from outside the UK is absurdly small and has no logic beyond being able to sell it politically in a right wing climate hostile to all immigration?

The source for this video is AFP, and it was taken in Marseilles, quartier de la Joliette

Hi I just deleted a comment saying this video is AI (+ jokingly calling you a psyops account, which is not very funny), I've seen that the video is real, and that it's origin is the AFP. I apologize www.lemonde.fr/societe/arti...
Le parquet ouvre une enquête à la suite de la vidéo d’une jeune femme violentée par la police à Marseille

I'm conflicted on this, I'm not a public figure and I've recently achieved the ability to write community notes on it and I wonder if I can still do good by providing fact-checking and amplifying good info. But on the other hand I know I'm giving traffic to Musk and it feels dirty.
