Politico made an error that officials since corrected the following day. First of all, the Police did not come in response to an alarm. They come in response to a "wellness check". So someone called them to check on Pelosi." "When he didn't answer the phone, the cops broke the sliding glass door to get in. Pelosi was struggling with the suspect, who was in his underwear. Who called 911 to initiate a wellness check? Either Nancy or her staff, who hadn't hear from Paul all evening and suddenly it's 2 am. Then of course all you need do is check back on your own posting history "I would certainly be keen to see the police body cam footage with my own eyes." Yea I bet you would, having admitted what you like to watch involving hammer attacks to kill people in the dark corners of the web then this will be breeze entertainment for you.

Elon Musk's Twitter roils with hate speech as trolls test new limits

Top European official: if Twitter ignores the law, penalties will 'haunt' Elon Musk COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The European Union's competition czar has a message for Twitter's new boss Elon Musk: We are watching you. Since the Tesla CEO took ownership of the social network last week promising, among other changes, to loosen up rules around what people can post to Twitter, authorities in Europe have been standing by for any signs that Twitter may run afoul of European speech laws. "There is a European rulebook, and you should live by it," said Margrethe Vestager, the European Commission's executive vice president who oversees digital policy for the 27-nation bloc, in her first interview since Musk took over Twitter. https://health.wusf.usf.edu/2022-10-31/top-european-official-if-twitter-ignores-the-law-penalties-will-haunt-elon-musk -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
From my full post: The attacks were 220 kilometers away from the grain corridor Quite the dilemma for Russia, A grain convoy has left Odesa in defiance of a RU blockade. Proceeding south, the convoy posses a dilemma for Putin: does he attack merchant ships in international waters, or does he back down and permit UKR to resume grain shipments? Hunger games being played by Russia, using food as a weapon but then with the world watching them daily carrying our mass war crimes in Ukraine cities then we can expect nothing else. -

Common sense already here. Ukraine war: Two cargo ships leave ports despite Moscow's grain exports deal pullout Earlier, the United Nations, Turkey and Ukraine were said to have decided to continue implementing the grain deal after movement was halted on Sunday, with a transit plan in place for 16 ships on Monday now active. https://www.euronews.com/2022/10/30/ukraine-war-russias-grain-deal-pullout-will-worsen-world-hunger-say-western-leaders I guess the statement by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warning that continuing grain exports without Russian participation was "hardly feasible" are not stopping it going ahead. -

In addition Russia just doesn't seem to learn from history. Bombing Kyiv Into Submission? History Says It Won’t Work. It typically aims to achieve this by forcing those leaders to ask whether the capital’s cultural landmarks and economic functioning are worth putting on the line — and also, especially, by terrorizing the country’s population into moderating their support for the war. But for as long as leaders have pursued this tactic, they have watched it repeatedly fail. More than that, such strikes tend to backfire, deepening the political and public resolve for war that they are meant to erode — even galvanizing the attacked country into stepping up its war aims. https://web.archive.org/web/20221024015725/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/11/world/europe/russia-ukraine-kyiv-bombing.html -
More here, debunking of those crazy conspiracy claims. The facts are coming out but they'll be ignored by MAGA Federal affidavit debunks wild far-right conspiracy theories about the attack on Paul Pelosi amplified by Elon Musk, Ted Cruz and Marjorie Taylor Greene "It starts out with these weirdos, and then next thing you know, it's Ted Cruz, and then it's Marge Greene and then it's 50 people in Congress saying it by tomorrow," said criminal defense attorney Ron Filipkowski, who tracks extremists on social media. "It's the case with all these conspiracies." DePape told authorities that he broke in with a hammer through a glass door, according to the affidavit, disproving theories that the glass was broken from the inside. The attacker entered the bedroom where Paul Pelosi was sleeping and said he wanted to talk to "Nancy," according to the affidavit. https://sports.yahoo.com/federal-affidavit-debunks-wild-far-215845547.html Paul Pelosi tried to escape to an elevator equipped with a phone to call 911, San Francisco district attorney said Paul Pelosi tried to escape to an elevator equipped with a phone inside his San Francisco home to call 911 after a suspect broke into the house and entered his bedroom, San Francisco District Attorney Brook Jenkins said in a Monday press conference. The district attorney announced additional charges against David DePape, 42, in connection to the assault against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband. Charges included attempted murder, residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false imprisonment of an elder, and threats to a public official and their family. https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-pelosi-attack-escape-elevator-home-call-911-da-said-2022-10

Elon Musk's Twitter roils with hate speech as trolls test new limits

The other aspect to this being that if a relitively small number of people can cause so much hate speech then it only reinforces the need for more effective controls. Otherwise the lesson learned will be for more of the same from aligned groups with intent on causing harm or disruption. -
She's just finished her book, her opinions seem more than ever to confirm her stance as it was before: The Climate Book THE FACTS AND THE SOLUTIONS ABOUT THE CLIMATE BOOK We still have time to change the world. From Greta Thunberg, the world’s leading climate activist, comes the essential handbook for making it happen. You might think it’s an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There is hope – but only if we listen to the science before it’s too late. In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts – geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders – to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709837/the-climate-book-by-greta-thunberg/

"the data conclusively shows that there is correlation between Musk’s arrival and a broader perceived acceptability to posted hostile content on Twitter." "Results conclusively showed that there was an immediate spike in Tweets using one or more of the analyzed hate terms in the period leading up to Musk taking over the company." "In sum, the content and tone of Twitter posts became measurably more oriented towards hate speech on the day Elon Musk became CEO of the company with significant reach attained for this hate content." The dangers of such an appeal in radicalizing children and spreading misinformation to an audience still learning key critical thinking skills remain acute. -

For those who say (Russian apologists) that its the west pushing Ukrainians till their last death. 86% of Ukrainians say Ukraine should continue repelling Russian aggression despite Russian shelling of civilian infrastructure That’s according to the sociological survey of the Kyiv International Institute of sociology that was conducted on 21-23 October 2022. 89% of those who chose the Ukrainian language said to continue the fight while 66% of those who chose the Russian language chose the same. https://euromaidanpress.com/2022/10/24/86-of-ukrainians-say-ukraine-should-continue-repelling-russian-aggression-despite-recent-russian-shelling/ -

He needs to start with himself first as linking to a website that spreads conspiracy theories that lack evidence and their source is "IMHO" is just not good enough for an owner of twitter Elon Musk deleted a tweet about Paul Pelosi. Here’s why that matters. On Sunday, he posted a response to Hillary Clinton that “there is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story” behind the attack on Paul Pelosi in San Francisco, linking to an opinion article in the Santa Monica Observer, a site described by fact-checkers as a low-credibility source favoring the extreme right. The article claimed without evidence that Pelosi was drunk at the time of the assault and “in a dispute with a male prostitute.” The article, which was amplified by several right-wing figures, cited no sources and attributes its contents to IMHO — internet shorthand for “in my humble opinion.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/30/musk-deleted-tweet-pelosi/
