  • Under UK law they're not allowed to remove citizenship if it would render the person stateless. However, when the UK was investigating whether they'd have to take her back (and they really didn't want to), they realized that she [has? is entitled to?] Bangladeshi citizenship, something that neither she nor the Bangladeshi government was aware of. So they stripped her of her UK citizenship and said that she was now Bangladesh's problem. Bangladesh (to put it politely) disagrees, so she remains in a Syrian camp.

  • Steele produced an intelligence dossier. It listed facts, extrapolations and rumors and it clearly labeled which items were which. Iirc, the pee tape was listed as a persistent rumor out of Russia that he couldn't corroborate, but that he also couldn't definitely label as false.

  • Car manufacturers want to get rid of AM radio, particularly in electric vehicles which produce interference which hinders clear reception. Opponents want to retain AM radio, arguing it's a more effective means of communicating with large numbers of people during and after a disaster. [Don't @me: I don't have enough knowledge to argue either side, just enough to have a vague idea what the debate is about.]

  • No no no. Trump actually provided a list of the New York-based properties he most wants to keep, we should start with those.

    NY based, because that's where they're run from, not necessarily where they're located. And I think it's a slightly old list because I believe he sold the Old Post Office, but it's still a nice list of initial targets that he'll be most upset by.

  • The cheapest one is apparently in the town next door. It's a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 984 square foot single family home built in 1955, on a third-of-an-acre lot with no HOA.

    All the pictures are of the outside only, so I'm assuming the inside is pure shit. However, I also have to assume it's some kind of liveable shit, because the places that aren't liveable generally have to list as "0 bedrooms".

    It's $60,000, in south/central New Jersey. Or $665 per month, which includes 30 year mortgage as well as property taxes.

  • After WWII, Germany considered the occupying Allied powers to be, well, occupiers. You know what really changed West Germany's attitude and shifted them from resentment to better cooperation? The Berlin Airlift. They saw that the West was determined to not-abandon then to the Russians, which gave the Western powers massive credibility with the people. It's just a shame that the West has so readily abandoned all credibility with the Arab world.

  • Currently owes:

    • over $900,000 in [mostly federal] taxes
    • Almost $40,000 to two golf clubs [including Mar-a-Lago]
    • $1,360,000 to his longtime lawyer
    • $387,000 to the law firm he got after the FBI raided his apartment
    • $148,000,000 to the Georgia election workers he defamed

    May end up owing:

    • The "What's up, scumbag?" guy is suing for $2,000,000
    • Lawsuit from Dominion Voting
    • Lawsuit from Smartmatic voting
    • Lawsuit from Hunter Biden
    • Lawsuit from a woman who has accused Giuliani of sexual assault and harassment
  • It's why they released news of the actual IPO on the same day they released the news of Google buying our data: they want to tie reddit and Google together in the public's mine, make reddit seem better than it is.
