Russian military official on Ukraine blacklist shot dead on morning run

Source: Reuters

July 11 (Reuters) - A Russian military official who had commanded a submarine in the Black Sea and appeared on a Ukrainian blacklist of alleged war criminals has been shot dead by an unknown assassin while on his morning run.

Russia's top investigative body said Stanislav Rzhitsky, 42, was gunned down early on Monday in the southern city of Krasnodar.

Rzhitsky's address and personal details appeared on the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets (Peacemaker), a vast unofficial database of people considered to be enemies of Ukraine.

On Tuesday the word "Liquidated", in red letters, had been superimposed on his photograph on the site.

Shot with a glass bullet?

They are not "am". They violate "Cogito, ergo sum", Ren Descartes' statement

"I think, therefore I am".

They don't think, therefore they are not.

Descartes said "there must be a thinking entity—in this case the self—for there to be a thought."

Right-wingers trying to destroy New York pizza! That's it! WAR!

Seven years ago, the city imposed a requirement that coal-burning pizza parlors had to put filters on their exhaust fans to limit the emissions that can harm neighbors. Most restaurants in NYC already had that regulation as do pizza places in Italy. Most NYC pizza places have already installed them in spite of the fact that the regulation, originally required by 2020, was delayed until now.

So those out-of-state right-wingers who probably don't know real pizza from an old tire, are blaming liberals for "killing New York Pizza" when in fact their scare tactics will be the cause of any problems. See The Guardian article.

It's bad enough they deny civil rights, run insurrections, try to be fascists and want to destroy NYC but when they attack our pizza, it is time to rise up and make them eat Texas pizza as a punishment!

"Harvard professor who studies honesty accused of falsifying data in studies"

From The Guardian:
[link:https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/jun/25/harvard-professor-data-fraud|]

So ironic!

A day later, a blog called DataColoda and run by three behavioral science academics published a four-part series of posts that detailed extensive evidence of the alleged fraud in four academic papers co-authored by Gino.

“We discovered evidence of fraud in papers spanning over a decade, including papers published quite recently (in 2020),” the blog authors, ESADE Business School’s Uri Simonsohn, University of California, Berkeley’s Leif Nelson, and University of Pennsylvania’s Joseph Simmons wrote.

“In the fall of 2021, we shared our concerns with Harvard Business School. Specifically, we wrote a report about four studies for which we had accumulated the strongest evidence of fraud. We believe that many more Gino-authored papers contain fake data. Perhaps dozens,” the scholars said.


No wonder the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

But Prigozhin claimed nobody was killed. How can multiple planes and helicopters

be shot down and trucks be hit on the road as well as the HQ bombed and there not be any deaths?

I'm not sure I believe any of the whole thing. It all seems fake.

Yes. And I've said this many times. Corporate crimes will not stop until

the people that do it are held accountable instead of blaming the corporation, having their insurers pay part of the money and their shareholders pay the rest as their stock value goes down.

When corporate executive know they will be blamed (after all, they get the big bonuses for "success&quot , they will think the next time and so will execs from other companies.

Half of Texas voters believe the impeachment of Ken Paxton was justified, poll finds

Texas Tribune

I guess the other half says it's okay as he is a Republican and that's normal behavior or haven't figured it out yet.

17% say it wasn't justified with 31% saying they had no opinion. Those with no opinion don't read or watch the news, I guess.

There ARE UFOs!

If nobody has yet figured out what it is, it is UNIDENTIFIED

If it is moving through the air (other than just falling straight down), it is FLYING

If it is "something perceptible by one or more of the senses, especially by vision or touch; a material thing", it is an OBJECT

So if I hit a baseball in the air or shoot an arrow and nobody knows what it was, but saw it moving, and couldn't identify it, then it is a UFO.

Ban Major League Baseball. We need Bow Control laws.

How come there are so many reported landings and "creatures" come from them but all the evidence suddenly disappears?

I know. After they destroy half the world, some obscure scientist comes up with a bizarre argon-generating blaster that kills them all then governments cover it all up by changing all the maps to show the destroyed cities never existed.

Then again, aliens would explain why so many people in this country turned into idiots and bow to Lord Donald. Mind Control.

Hey, it's not like I am against mind control as people have a right to have no brain. I don't want to be bigoted at those without brains. There is nothing wrong with mind control as long as it's me doing the controlling.
