Must too expensive to keep track of who got which classified documents, otherwise it should be easy to track photographed documents. Must too expensive to keep track of who got which classified documents, otherwise it should be easy to track photographed documents.

Even though those two sentences above look identical, if I sent one to one person and one to another, I would know which one was leaked as is, or even photographed in most cases. There's also many ways to protect and track information, even if it is not copied and just paraphrased by the person.

There are no hate speech laws in the U.S.


Hate speech can be a crime when it directly incites criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence against a person or a group.

That is inciting. Many countries have hate speech laws (for example you can be arrested for making a racist comment.) There is no such regulation in the U.S.

Foreign minister of Taiwan thinks China is close to launching an attack.

If so, I imagine China has calculated we're too busy with Ukraine as is much of NATO.

Eliot Jacobson, Professor of Mathematics and well known for his writings on advantage play (gambling); is a profit of doom re climate change on Twitter.

Yesterday, I read quite a few articles on climate change and many are not so pessimistic.

Dog owner dies and left two dogs that were alcoholics

Quote:
The trust noted that Coco and the other dog began to be "very unwell" when they arrived, but a veterinarian was on-site to offer emergency care.
"Coco continued to be seriously unwell and required round the clock care," the trust said. "It became clear that he was suffering from symptoms that all pointed to alcohol withdrawal."

But still, you're in the money. You can legally, right now anyway, spew as much racist venom as your heart desires.
