teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It’s actually a pretty good sentence, since he’s only the second person EVER to be jailed for contempt of Congress. The other one got six months and a 10k fine.

Canada has banned the buying, selling and trading of handguns and stopped the importation of new handguns.
The country has completely failed to devolve into a dystopian, post-apocalyptic hellscape.

How could they show their face to their neighbor? How could they live with themselves? They would be the laughing stock of the dystopia community.

Quote:Internet connectivity worldwide impacted by severed fiber cables in France
A major Internet cable in the South of France was severed yesterday at 20:30 UTC, impacting subsea cable connectivity to Europe, Asia, and the United States and causing data packet losses and increased website response latency.
At the same time, BCC reports that a subsea cable linking the Shetland Islands to the Scottish mainland has been damaged, too, leaving netizens on the island isolated from the rest of the world.
Not only that, but it has also reduced the capacity of Shetland's population of 23,000 to call for emergency services, as communication has been impacted in general.
"We expect it will be fishing vessels that damaged the cable but it is very rare that we have two problems at the same time," Vesturbú told the BBC.

Elon Musk now owns Twitter. We can now expect Twitter to burst into flames and run over pedestrians.

So, am I missing something or did Elon Musk just pay exactly what he originally agreed to, plus his own legal fees, to buy the company he sued to get out of the agreement, thereby taking on THEIR legal fees?
