I heard they've been escalating the bombing campaign in Somalia during the last week or two. Hard to find good info on drone bombings, for some reason they aren't in the news very much

Yeah, only one mention of this on the BBC that I heard and I listen to the radio a good 10 hrs a day...

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's government said on Wednesday it had requested the U.S. air strike which killed more than 100 suspected militants on the previous day to help pave the way for an upcoming ground offensive against Islamist militant group al Shabaab.

The United States military's Africa Command said on Tuesday it had killed more than 100 of the al Qaeda-linked insurgents in an air strike on a camp 125 miles (200 km) northwest of the capital Mogadishu.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Here is an article on why NN matters and why we should keep it the way it is:

On Tuesday, the US Federal Communications Commission announced that it planned to vote on an order to roll back Obama-era rules governing net neutrality.

Simply put, net neutrality means that all data on the internet is treated equally. An internet service provider can't prioritize certain companies or types of data, charge users more to access certain websites and apps, or charge businesses for preferential access.

Advocates of net neutrality argue that it ensures a level playing field for everyone on the internet. Telecoms firms, however, are largely against it because of the additional restrictions it places on them.

But with the Republican-majority FCC likely to vote on December 14 in favor of rolling back the order, what might the American internet look like without net neutrality? Just look at Portugal.



The country's wireless carrier Meo offers a package that's very different from those available in the US. Users pay for traditional "data" — and on top of that, they pay for additional packages based on the kind of data and apps they want to use.

Well, that's just fucking fantastic. At least libertarianism as a viable political philosophy will be murdered forever in the aftermath. But then, I might not be able to afford the "social networking" option, and MHF could be removed from the internet because of nukedog's Nazi posts, so I wouldn't be able to thank Fife every day for fucking up the internet.

They are planning on voting in their December open meeting on 12/14/17:

Why didn't they do this before Net Neutrality a few years ago? Aren't these companies basically in bed with the government anyway?
