  • Its when the next UN general assembly meets:

    The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) opens on September 9, 2025. Two weeks later, High-Level General Debate kicks off Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

    As the United Nations marks its 80th year, global leaders will convene in New York City to build consensus and confront complex global challenges. Eight decades after its establishment, the UN remains the only place on Earth where countries can gather to work through their differences and find common ground — shaping our shared future.

    Spacing it to September is both a deadline and a stick for Israel. If acknowledged as a nation by enough countries, Palenstine gains rights it doesn’t currently have to redress/self governance/etc. Its largely symbolic, as enforcing them will be challenging, but it makes a lot of what Israel has done to Palenstinies harder.

    Israel very, very much does not want this to happen. This is some countries like France saying “fuck it, we aren’t covering for you anymore now that the starving kids pictures are showing up” while countries like the UK are saying “fix the dying kids or else” and countries like Germany are saying “we committed genocide against you so we wont begrudge you your own because we consider letting you murder children some kind of weird german liberal guilt thing.”




  • The only possible justifications are “to protect victims” and “to protect people from baseless accusations” if there really is no proof of anything.

    The first can be done with retractions. The latter is the issue for MAGA, as trump and his boosters have been claiming for years that the files are full of vile, evil shit that is being hidden and that they would expose everyone. They claimed this for half a decade, and were saying the truth was about to come out just months ago. They claimed they put 10,000 FBI agents on the case to verify the files, and gave MAGA influencers a “part 1” dossier to splash around.

    Suddenly, a few months later there is nothing to see, even as more and more leaks about Trump being a pedophile hit the news.

    Now they are playing games about releasing “credible” reports (i.e nothing with Trump in them or any republicans) and releasing everything but the files.



  • This wasn’t a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That’s still in “we are a family” territory, but its a bit out of scope.

    Your point seems to be that “all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever.” I think that’s more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.

    Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.


  • Duh, people can fuck whoever they want. As usual, there may be consequences.

    What I dont want is to work for a liar that’s breaking contracts and fucking people over. Once you find out that’s happening, you need to realize that it’s probally not isolated behaviour.

    If they are willing to do this to their wife, someone who can actually impact their life, they will probably not think twice about fucking you over, someone who cant impact them at all.

    Let me put it more succinctly: if the king is willing to behead his wife, hes not going to be concerned about your head staying attached either.
