World News@lemmy.world•ICC convicts former CAR militia commander of crimes against humanity | AfricanewsEnglish
3·2 days agoIt doesn’t seem to be that the ICC has anything against prosecuting non-Africans, only that the USA seems to sanction them heavily when they do.

News@lemmy.world•Poll: Most voters agree the 2026 midterms are all about Trump — and they disapproveEnglish
14·3 days agoA majority also say it is more important to back candidates with new ideas who will bring about change than those with experience and a proven record.
Translation: voters would prefer Democratic Socialists like Mamdani to establishment Democrats.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘Star Trek’ New York Comic-Con Panel to Feature William Shatner, ‘Starfleet Academy’ Season 2 StarsEnglish
2·3 days agoSo we’re definitely getting a season 2, then? Last time I checked, it was still being negotiated

World News@lemmy.world•Trump Says 'Big Decision' Coming on Whether to 'Annihilate' IranEnglish
1·6 days agoSure but sometimes it’s necessary to remind *ahem* certain people.
O Wise Owl, if the habits of a lifetime make it difficult to keep to such resolutions, how can I give myself every advantage to be better able to keep to them?

4·6 days agoYeah, now that you mention it, it would have made a lot more sense if Hysperia and Elysian were the same place.

This is a shoop, right?

World News@lemmy.world•African Union to launch Africa Credit Rating Agency in October 2026English
4·8 days agoI assume that most non-African banks will continue to go by the credit ratings given by agencies like S&P and Moody’s, so is this agency just to make it easier for African banks to lend to each other, or what? Is the goal to get non-African banks using it too eventually? If so, what are the chances of that happening?

World News@lemmy.world•Israel, Morocco agree to mutually open embassies: foreign ministry | AfricanewsEnglish
16·8 days agoMy understanding is that during his first term, Trump convinced Morocco to normalize relations with Israel by offering to support Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara.
That’s explicitly what the song is about. Ditching work in the middle of the workday because fuck 'em, and proceeding to get shitfaced.
I can’t really say this comic is funny if it’s just repeating the exact meaning of the song at face value.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump Says 'Big Decision' Coming on Whether to 'Annihilate' IranEnglish
16·8 days agoI feel like, and this isn’t in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.

World News@lemmy.world•Carney hails EU-Canada alliance but draws lines on membershipEnglish
4·8 days agoIn addition to a trade deal, I’m almost 100% certain that it’s gonna be a NATO-esque defence treaty, in anticipation of the USA dismantling NATO like they’re constantly talking about.

World News@lemmy.world•Ed Sheeran songs removed from airwaves over Macklemore Palestine rowEnglish
2·9 days agoIt’s a lot easier to be choosier about one’s choice of music than it is to be about one’s choice of food. For example, when it comes to Nestlé, it’s hard to find alternative chocolate brands that don’t also have problematic “Controversy” sections in their wikipedia articles.

World News@lemmy.world•Metsola: Australia, New Zealand could be next EU 'associated members'English
4·9 days ago“If those kids could read, they’d be very upset”
Most of the people who would freak out are people who don’t interact with immigrants in the first place so they’re not likely to notice if New Zealanders don’t match what they imagine. As long as racists THINK they’re getting their way, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

“How would you have it work?”
“We need a system where the politicians sit down, and discuss the problem. Agree what’s in the best interest of all the people, and then do it!”
“That’s exactly what we do. The, the trouble is that people don’t always agree.”
“Well then they should be made to.”

64·9 days agoLet’s not forget that racism and anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise around the world, so from a pragmatic standpoint, if the EU wants to expand its influence by inviting more countries to share freedom of movement with, then the best place to start is with countries that WON’T cause the more reactionary elements of European society to immediately freak out.
