Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

With each ballot drop looking less and less favorable to Democrats, everyone in Arizona has noticed the local media becoming more and more outwardly hostile toward Republicans in their coverage, hoping to sway remaining voters.

So it turns out that Ukraine's issues with Starlink were caused by Ukraine.
Starlink terminals disconnected at speeds above 160 KPH, as determined by the Starlink terminals internal GPS.
To get around this, Ukraine hacked the Starlink terminals to think they were stationary regardless of speed.
SpaceX figured this out, and updated the system software to detect excessive speed by seeing how rapidly the terminal switched from on satellite to another. This broke Ukraine's hack, and Starlink would no longer work at high speeds.
Ukraine was using Starlink in a way that violated the terms of service.
Starlink figured it out and stopped it.

This is how you ruin studios.
Chris Avellone details how a Bioware producer would scan new hire for political alignment. If your social posts were 'problematic' you didn't get the job.
Now, this is happening at a lot of studios, not just Bioware.

I asked a reporter why they haven't reported that I have received every major law enforcement endorsement. She said her editor wouldn't let her.
I appreciate her honesty. But it shows the sad state of where AZ media is. We made history. A challenger to the sitting AG received every major law enforcement endorsement and they don't report it.
If a Republican AG was the incumbent and the Democrat challenger received every major law enforcement endorsement, you would hear about it 24/7 and in every story about the race.

Holy crap
The “conspiracy theorists” were right
Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

NEW: The firm that shielded Hobbs’ shadowy inaugural fund during the AG’s pay-to-play investigation is now collecting millions ($7.4M total since she took office) in “competition impracticable” contracts directed by her office.
A partner also got a Court of Appeals seat. And her former general counsel joined the firm.
Follow the money. This is how the machine protects itself.

Way too much modern Catholic moral argumentation boils down to nothing more than:
1. Human dignity, therefore
2. [Plug in desired conclusion]
It's lazy and intellectually unserious and utterly unconvincing to anyone who doesn't already agree with whatever conclusion one is trying to establish. It opens the door to all kinds of mischief, because the notion of "human dignity" is so vague and contested that it can be, and is, deployed to arrive at all sorts of conclusions, including conclusions that contradict one another. And for that reason, bare appeals to human dignity are inevitably question-begging, because what human dignity amounts to and what it entails are precisely what is in dispute between the different sides of the various issues to which the notion is applied (capital punishment, immigration, sexuality, or whatever).
This is one of the many high costs of having taken Catholic theology off of the Scholastic gold standard. Too many minds have turned to mush and simply don't know how to reason logically. They just repeat gauzy stock phrases and stomp their feet.
AI, Animation, and Art aside, this quote at the end hits really hard:
"Democracy is when you need the permission of a million suburban soccer moms to build a power plant.
Liberty is when you can just do things."
I said it, didn't I?
I predicted this exact thing, and I explained why.
I said that AI art is slop not because the art is bad, but because it lacks a detailed mental model of the audience and what they want.
And I said that AI art would cease to slop the moment it was controllable enough to faithfully implement a human's artistic vision.
Well, here we are.
This is AI as the paintbrush, not the artist.
This is the future of stories. Power. Precision. Insight. The hybrid of machine and man.
Some people say we're going to democratize Hollywood. But they are wrong. We are going to liberate it.
Because democracy is when you need the permission of a million suburban soccer moms to build a power plant.
Liberty is when you can just do things.

You’re not exempt from laws prohibiting cartel behavior, and this is just one of countless data points suggesting widespread collusion.
