@fvckfemi_ I mean that’s literally what “years old” means.
If you had a piece of pizza in the fridge that was “1 week old”, it’s not fresh right out the oven starting week 1, it’s existed for an elapsed time of one week.

@petersterne @AOC The fact that they characterize things like iron dome as “so-called” defensive is insane

BREAKING: At tonight’s NYC-DSA electoral forum, @AOC committed to voting against “any spending on arms for Israel, including so-called defensive capabilities.”
Peter Sterne@petersterne
Tonight (right now actually) @nycDSA is holding a virtual candidate forum with AOC as they consider whether to endorse her for reelection. The endorsement itself hardly matters – AOC will obviously win reelection – but it’s significant as DSA and AOC prep for a potential presidential run in 2028. I’ll be continuing to report on the forum and DSA’s relationship with AOC. Feel free to DM me or message me on Signal if you want to chat anonymously.

Cannot emphasize enough that we all thought this looked fine at the time. Fashion is wild like that 😭

@pmaclaughlin @mikesright76 @ATLWill_ In middle school I had a friend who was from Montreal and spoke French so I asked him what “ello” meant and he looked at me like I was crazy

@mikesright76 @EasyMode476 @ATLWill_ I thought the same thing for the longest time. Thought it was something in French maybe?

@JoshSmithmuse @LangfordNukes @Hicks45J They kinda go together. This one was a bigger emotional release though because the whole game it felt like it would get close to happening, but not quite. Once this happened, Garcia’s felt inevitable, like an act of fate. This one gave us hope, Garcia’s fulfilled that hope.

@LangfordNukes @Hicks45J You could argue for Garcias but this one is way more important

@_EngendroDelMal @JuderachL87164 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Because that’s standard once it was established that the case would proceed. Don’t just take my word for it, here it is from the ICJ president at the time herself: youtu.be/T44DebmlvNs
The case isn’t expected to be decided until late 2027. Until then, there is no ruling.

If the Court only ruled on standing, why did it order Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of acts under Article II of the Genocide Convention? Does the Court usually issue conduct-restricting orders to sovereign states based merely on a party's 'right to bring a case', or does it require the rights at stake to be plausible first?

@_EngendroDelMal @JuderachL87164 @Mr_Andrew_Fox The court very clearly did not rule on *if* a genocide was occurring, but rather only if a case could be brought. The distinction between ruling if a case can be brought and ruling on the outcome of the case cannot be more stark. They *only* ruled that the case could be brought.
English

Equating the Order solely to a ruling on standing is a legal fallacy. Standing (locus standi) only grants a party the right to bring a claim. However, the Court’s decision to grant Provisional Measures requires a separate finding: the plausibility of the rights at risk (Paragraph 54). If there were no plausible threat of genocide, the Court would have recognized standing but denied the measures. By issuing the Order, the Court explicitly confirmed that the alleged acts meet the threshold of plausibility required for emergency protection, independent of the final determination on the merits.
Furthermore, if as you claim, the standard of plausibility was not met regarding the acts of genocide, why did the Court not dismiss the request for provisional measures for lack of object, as it has done in previous cases where standing was clear but the right was not plausible? Why did Judge Donoghue vote in favor of the measures if, according to your interpretation of the interview, the threshold of plausibility for the acts was not satisfied?
English

@_EngendroDelMal @JuderachL87164 @Mr_Andrew_Fox It was effectively only a ruling on standing, not a decision on guilt or the merits of the case. The fact that they ruled that a party has standing to bring a case says nothing about the merits of the case itself, and certainly says nothing about innocence or guilt either.
English

"In the Court’s view, the facts and circumstances mentioned above are sufficient to conclude that at least some of the rights claimed by South Africa and for which it is seeking protection are plausible."
The personal interpretation of an emeritus judge has no legal effect on the operative part of a binding Order. Paragraph 54 establishes the plausibility of the rights. If the right to be protected from genocide is plausible, it is because the acts threatening it are, by definition, plausible within the framework of the Convention. The opposite would be a logical absurdity: one cannot protect rights against a non-existent or implausible threat.
English

@JuderachL87164 @_EngendroDelMal @Mr_Andrew_Fox Yes, this was even confirmed by the president who presided over the case herself, but people love to conveniently leave that part out and replace it with their own invented reality
English

@_EngendroDelMal @Mr_Andrew_Fox Wasn’t the plausibility to do with the plausible rights of the South Africans to bring the claim about a possible genocide?

@Soaringeagle45 It’s cost more to get the smell out of your car than it would to pay the ticket

So, I got pulled over by a police officer a few miles from home..... I already knew why he got me (I was a little over the speed limit) but of course, I was gonna ask him why he stopped me.
So, I decided to try my luck. We got fart spray as a gag gift on Christmas this past year and decided why not try it out 🤣
The bottle says to squirt about 2 sprays. So, as the cop walks toward my car I decided to squirt about 5 squirts.
He gets to my window and asks me to get out. I said, “I can’t!” He stopped dead in his tracks and said, “Lawd...what is that?” I said, “I got a situation going on sir!” The look on his face was priceless. I said, “Sir, my stomach hurts and I’m trying get home because I....” (he is at my window and I didn't even finish my sentence) He grabs his face, backs up and says... “Oh my!! I think you need an ambulance!”
I said, “No, just need to get home” (trying not to laugh...he looked worried and sick 🤣)
Officer: “BE CAREFUL AND TRY NOT TO SPEED BUT I UNDERSTAND ITS AWFUL. HOLD ON.. I’LL ESCORT YOU!”
You guys , I did not expect it to go this way but the Officer followed me home and waited til I got out. I had to walk all the way to the door, holding my butt cheeks, and limpin’ like I was hurtin’!
No ticket written! 🤣😂
