I missed this detail y esterday:

According to the New York Post, Jeffrey Goldberg, who goes by “JG” on Signal, was accidentally added instead of the United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, whose initials are also J.G.

It is, but let me also say that Signal is the messaging app that government workers are told to use for business.

Not that they should be talking about super secret stuff there or anything, but that it is used for general communications that can be work related

LOL, I actually really hope China flexes here.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of scoundrels.

From same article as above:

“Ekrem İmamoğlu’s only crime is leading in the polls,” Özel told crowds massing outside Istanbul city hall earlier this week. Speaking to reporters on Sunday he said: “Ekrem İmamoğlu is currently on the road to prison but he is also on the road to the presidency. The nation is repelling a coup through solidarity ballot boxes.”

Denmark, under the belief that they were the underdog.

It’s just one of htose things I do when I have no particular reason to cheer for one or the other, right. ^^

More on this topic:

A South African government official confirmed that one of the team member’s threatening behaviour was triggered by ‘a dispute over a task the team leader wanted the team to do – a weather-dependent task that required a schedule change’.

The author of the email seen by South Africa’s Sunday Times expressed immense concern over their colleague’s ‘increasingly egregious behaviour’ and called for immediate action to ensure their own safety and that of the team as a whole.

‘I am experiencing significant difficulty in feeling secure in his presence,’ the author wrote.

…

‘(The accused) has shown remorse and is willingly cooperative to follow any interventions that are recommended. He has written a formal apology to the victim and is willing to verbally apologise to all members at the base,’ the statement, seen by The South African, read.

'The department has also implemented a longer term sustained intervention process through trained professional counselling services in order to restore the relationships and build a healthy working environment.

‘The DFFE have also, in parallel, activated a Labour Relations process to deal with the matter as it relates to the alleged physical assault. An alleged sexual harassment is also being investigated. Reports of sexual assault are not correct,’ the statement said.

Living in harsh conditions among a remote landscape and staggering temperatures of minus 23 degrees, the team rarely, if ever, leaves the base for their own safety.

…

Alan Chambers, an explorer who completed a 700-mile skiing expedition in the region last year, said that from a ‘psychological perspective’ the South Pole is a ‘very very lonely place’.

‘There’s very little interaction with humans or animals so if you’re in a camp or a research centre you’re with those people for six months, if not a year,’ he told The Times.

‘Everything becomes heightened. It’s all white - there’s no colour, no noise and nothing you would see as normal so everybody’s behaviour - including your own - gets magnified and the little things become the big things.’

Mr Chambers warned the ‘loneliness of the continent’ majorly impacts behaviour and said that those who are stationed in Antarctica ‘really have to be happy with yourself’.

He claims that due to the fact that one spend ‘lot of time inside your mind’, small issues with others can escalate into larger problems.

There has not yet been any word of a rescue operation to evacuate the research team.

Most research missions to the desolate wastelands of Antarctica and the Arctic go off without a hitch, thanks to the extensive preparation time, background checks and physical and psychological evaluations to which team members are subjected.

But there have been several instances in which scientists have suffered attacks at the hands of their colleagues, along with reports of sexual abuse taking place in isolated research centres.

In 2023, American authorities launched an investigation after it emerged that more than half of the women working at the US’ McMurdo research base in Antarctica had experienced sexual violence.

McMurdo is stationed on the south tip of Ross Island and hosts up to 1,200 residents over the summer - a large majority of Antarctica’s population.

There’s another article about it at NY Post that provides pictures and biographical data of the some people there, thogh all we know is that the aggressor is male.

Which I have always heard is an obscenity in British English

Very excellent effort post, thank you.

I once heard that it was a third of all angels who fell, and thus there could be some reason to believe that roughly a third of all humans would also perish to hell. However, nobody can know. It’s a great mystery.
