If you leave Antarctica, you're heading north. Is it North of Antarctica toward Australia, South Africa, Patagonia or some other northerly direction from Antarctica?
On one hand, it's useless performative bullshit. On the other hand, Trump seems to be exactly the kind of guy to get really upset about that sort of thing.
Unfortunately, back in the Bush years, a little while before the second gulf war, they passed a bill to invade the Hague if Americans got tried there. Folks will have to seek justice through other channels.
I think I must've missed that Verge article. I guess that dashes my "this is a creative writing exercise by somebody in Joburg" theory.
But we know that lizards have self preservation instincts (which for the purpose of this conversation I'll say is interchangable with sentience (it's probably a good enough proxy at any rate). But we know this because we have lots of people who have observed lizard behavior, not because The Lizard Farm, Inc has hyped up how alive and ensouled their lizards arev in a bid to get ever more VC funding.
Maybe I'm too pessimistic about this tech and my obsolete meat sack will get tossed to the time-traveling torture robot. But I think it's more likely that we have a money grabbing hype train in the tradition of the Mechanical Turk or Theranos than it is that we have created a new lifeform by feeding every extant piece of writing that isn't nailed down (and some that are) to the sand we've forced to do math.
Well, the only claim of this self preservation (that I've seen) is this article, which is on a website I'm unfamiliar with (which I often interpret as 'more likely to be a creative writing exercise than the average news site') and its only citation is a company that has a vested interest in making us believe the tech is better than it may actually be.
We do get to know that Coney Barrett recused herself, which is what allowed an even split (and by extension the upholding of the lower court's decision).
If David Brooks and William Kristol can bring themselves to say "Abolish ICE" then it's time for the centrist Dems to take that stance and the left end of the party to debate in favor of RICOing that entity.
We're gonna have a great leap forward, folks. "The Greatest Leap Forward", people are calling it. Now that I've liberated our economy we're gonna make everything here at home, some of you literally making things at home. Backyard steel mills, backyard chip fabricators.
We're gonna get rid of the pests, too. We're getting ahead of this bird flu, Bobby Kennedy, RFK, he tells me he's gonna Smash the Sparrows. We're not gonna have another flu like we did under Sleepy Joe.
They probably were intending/expecting arrests. There are probably protesters who didn't go into the library because they specifically don't want a criminal record (especially if they're on a visa or some such).
And you can see in the comments here how angry the arrests are getting some people.
That's the goal of a lot of nonviolent protest. Get your allies loud about it and split some moderates away from the authorities that they hadn't really thought of as "the bad guys" before.
East of the Antarctic peninsula.
Anyplace off the coast of Antarctica is, by definition, north of it. But the Weddell Sea is a specific area of the Southern Ocean.
