    Abortion rights advocates have been gathering signatures for a ballot measure that would enshrine abortion access up until “fetal viability” in the state’s constitution.

    On Monday, the statehouse was thrown into additional disarray after a presentation leaked from the House Republicans’ general counsel, outlining detailed plans to undermine that initiative. The document outraged Democrats who saw it as a deliberate attempt to mislead and confuse voters who want to support abortion rights.

    Funny how most conspiracy circles probably wouldn’t talk about this even when the plans are open to the public.

    At the Nova music festival and its surroundings, there are reasonable grounds to believe
    that multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/or
    gang rape and then killed or killed while being raped. Credible sources described finding 5
    murdered individuals, mostly women, whose bodies were naked from their waist down – and
    some totally naked – tied with their hands behind their backs, many of whom were shot in the
    head. On Road 232, credible information based on witness accounts describe an incident of the
    rape of two women by armed elements. Other reported instances of rape could not be verified in
    the time allotted. The mission team also found a pattern of bound naked or partially naked bodies
    from the waist down, in some cases tied to structures including trees and poles, along Road 232.
    In kibbutz Re’im, the mission team further verified an incident of the rape of a woman outside of
    a bomb shelter and heard of other allegations of rape that could not yet be verified.

    In modern x86 CPUs, POPCNT is implemented as part of the SSE4 instruction set. For Intel’s chips, it was added as part of SSE4.2 in the original first-generation Core architecture, codenamed Nehalem. In AMD’s processors, it’s included in SSE4a, first used in Phenom, Athlon, and Sempron CPUs based on the K10 architecture. These architectures date back to 2008 and 2007, respectively.

    That effectively bars mid-2000s Intel Core 2 Duo systems and early Athlon 64-era PCs from booting Windows 11 at all, not that they officially supported it in the first place. This means the change should mainly affect retro-computing enthusiasts who spend their days making YouTube videos in the “we installed Windows 11 on a potato, let’s see how it runs” genre rather than users of actual systems.

    You can check if your CPU has SSE 4.2(Intel) or 4a(AMD) but it sounds like unless you’re running some real old stuff you shouldn’t have to worry.

    By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation. Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed. Hamas fighters who burst into Israel on October 7th and killed almost 1,200 Israelis (and other nationalities) were carrying out the letter of their genocidal law.

    This doesn’t seem like it would take a lot of research but it might be the first time I’ve heard about this charter.
