Federal agents have been involved in yet another shooting in Minneapolis, city officials have said.

“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” officials posted online Saturday morning.

Footage of the incident appeared to show multiple law enforcement officers struggling with a man on the ground before a gunshot is heard and then several more are fired. The man then falls still.

The Independent has not been able to verify the footage, but The Minnesota Star-Tribune reports that the man was shot in the chest and was taken to hospital.

State governor Tim Walz also confirmed reports of the shooting, adding that he had spoken to the White House about the incident.

“Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” Walz wrote on X. “The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”

It comes just over two weeks since 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent during an altercation. Days later a Venezuelan man was also shot in the leg while attempting to escape immigration officials.

Trump executive order - BTC national reserve

“I’ve heard that the Trump team is considering an Executive Order for a National ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ in order to beat any state from passing it into law first,” Porter leaked on November 18 via X. “I can confirm that US Senate offices are backing this plan up. Game on President Trump. The race is on.”

If US buys bitcoin as their national reserve, other countries will surely follow suit and push up the price of BTC which increases the value US's Bitcoin stockpile. Chain effect can really moon BTC.

More signs that makes this more believable:

Both Dan Gallagher and Brian Brooks are pro-crypto

Pro crypto Elon musk as head of DOGE

Pro crypto Howard Lutnick quite likely as Commerce head

VP is pro crypto JD Vance

and probably many more

Johor regent slams football league for reducing Selangor FC's fine

Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim lambasted the Malaysian Football League (MFL) for reducing the Selangor FC’s fine.

“After this, any club that doesn’t pay salaries, withdraws itself as it likes, violates the league’s rules, can just ask the (state) ruler to write a letter in an angry tone.

Evidence of extremism right here in /k?

I asked one guy in /k if kids and teenagers are halal to be slaughtered in the context of the Israel Palestinian war, and his reply was this

QUOTE

Rules of Islam dictate the females, old and young are the spoils of war taken into slavery or let free as the victors wish

I'm kinda shocked. I know that there's many of these extremist in FB and telegram groups that are full of incendiary hate, even talking about killing journalists and others they do not agree with. I know /k also has some douchebags like nirnama, but i would peg him more for stupid rather than extremist. Same goes for adam71 who just likes to forward the stuff he receives on his whatsapp groups here, but he has no ability to counter any arguments against it.

But I hardly see outright extremism here in /k.

Anyway what do you guys think? I'm really quite horrified la, feel sad that Malaysia has so many of these kind of people.

The left lane on a motorway is for the virtuous and the good

How many times do the rest of you need to be told? The middle lane is only for overtaking

“Don’t hog the middle lane,” beseeched motorway signs all over the UK last weekend, at least on the sections of the M1, M42, M5 and M40 I had the pleasure of using.

Lane discipline is a particular thing for particular people. I’m most definitely one of those people. I’ll keep to the left-hand lane so assiduously that if it was a contest I’d undoubtedly be in contention for the title. Proceeding along a quiet motorway at a stately 70mph, I will move into the middle lane only to overtake, before neatly slotting back into the left-hand lane. For this is the lane of the worthy, the disciplined, the considerate. It is the lane of the good.

Perhaps, during my time in the middle lane, I will notice another vehicle ahead in the left lane that I will also soon have cause to overtake. If this good soul is hundreds of metres away, I will, of course, return to the left lane, even though I know I will soon have to move out of it again in order to go past. Even if this slower vehicle is nearer, I will, with the stickling devotion of a true believer, return to the left lane, however briefly. In fact, to be honest, even if there’s not much more than a car’s length between those I’m overtaking, I will try to slot back in there for what will be the most fleeting of moments. And here’s the thing: I will do all this even if there is nobody, but nobody, behind me in the middle lane wanting to get past.

This is virtue-signalling of the very barmiest order because – apart from the possibly alarmed drivers of the two vehicles I’m overtaking – I’m in effect signalling my virtue to no one at all. If there’s no one in my rear view mirror to appreciate the gesture, it can only be between me and my God. Does a tree falling in a forest make a noise if there’s no one within earshot? Of course it does.

Such piety is never a good look. Like anybody who considers themself to be without sin, I find it quite impossible to forgive the sinner. If I’m motoring worthily in the left lane and come across someone in the middle lane overtaking no one at all, the simmering cauldron of righteous indignation inside me starts to bubble towards boiling point. My fury threatens to spiral out of control. “Ooh,” as the comedian Stu Francis used to put it. “I could crush a grape.”

Suppressing my rage into a death-like stillness as I close in on this embodiment of evil, I stick fast to the left lane of virtue. I do so in the spirit of generosity, giving this sinner a last chance to mend their ways and get into the correct bloody lane. They rarely do – which is a great joy to me, to be honest, as I can then execute the most satisfying manoeuvre in the repertoire of every sinless motorist.

Seeking to instil shame, nothing less, I move into the middle lane behind them, pause for a quick harrumph, and then move into the fast lane to overtake them. As I do so, I shake my head in derision. If the dog’s in the back, he shakes his head too. And then in one majestic sweep, cutting through the thin air of the moral high ground, I pass in front of them and return to the slow lane. Frequently, chastened, they sheepishly fall into place behind me, in which case I nod to indicate my forgiveness and their absolution. If they do not do so, later, when I’ve calmed down, I will pray for their souls.

Once, on the M40 heading north, I was engaged in this merry dance of the road with my mum in the passenger seat. “What on earth are you moving about like this for?” she demanded, alarmed. “This is dangerous.” She had a point.

Broken aerotrain at KLIA until June 2024

jaapers — Fri, 12 May 2023 15:42:33 +0800

QUOTE

SEPANG, May 12 ― The aerotrain replacement programme at the main terminal of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is underway, with one rail line expected to be up and running by June 2024, said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) managing director Datuk Iskandar Mizal Mahmood.

He said the progress of the aerotrain operations had been suspended until further notice since March this year.

Prior to the suspension, the 25-year-old aerotrain service received much backlash over frequent breakdowns.

“All efforts are being made meticulously to avoid future inconvenience,” he told a press conference after the launch of STARDesk and EZBagz, a new initiative at KLIA by MAHB chairman Tan Sri Zainun Ali, here today.

Last year, it was reported that the aerotrain replacement programme was expected to be completed in 2025, involving nine aerotrains worth some RM700 million to be implemented in two phases involving design and construction works.

Iskandar Mizal said they had contracted the jobs for the replacement programme to international and local parties.

“Hopefully, by the middle of next year, we will have at least one rail line,” he said.

BUDAPEST, June 20 — Swimming will set up an ‘open category’ to allow transgender athletes to compete as part of a new policy which will effectively ban them from women’s races.

“I do not want any athlete to be told they cannot compete at the highest level,” Husain Al-Musallam, president of governing body Fina, told an extraordinary congress of his organisation.

Why some Malaysians support Putin

http://www.thinkchina.sg/why-some-malaysia...d-support-putin

Very long research article that's quite interesting. Many local Muslims support Putin just because of religion.

While I always criticize the clown and appropriate a large part of the blame in this war to the US, I also despise Putin in starting the war which was totally unnecessary.

Too lazy for tldr, sorry
