A great-grandparent or even a great-great grandparent from Italy used to be all it took to guarantee Italian citizenship. A surprise decree has now changed all that, making it much harder for those with Italian ancestry to use blood line as a pathway to become Italian.
On March 28, the Italian government tightened regulations for claiming citizenship by jus sanguinis, or descendent blood line, effective immediately.

Basically you now need an Italian parent or a grandparent who was born in Italy, or an Italian parent who lived in Italy for at least two years before you were born, to be eligible. This is a major change to the citizenship law, and caught everyone by surprise.

An officer stationed outside Saturday’s protest wrote of seeing Powell speeding through the Tesla parking lot in a blue Volkswagen Beetle. The officer started following Powell until she entered another parking lot across the street at a high speed, the police report says. The officer turned on his lights and sirens in an attempt to stop her, but said she entered the main roadway without slowing down.

A separate officer documented Powell speeding and weaving in and out of the roadway, yelling out the window and flipping off protesters. She made a sharp right turn onto North Bitterroot Street and then a wide, illegal U-turn, which “nearly caused what would have been a significant accident,” according to the police report. When Powell came back, she was allegedly driving towards the sidewalk, swerving towards the center lane at a high speed and still making gestures at the protesters.

Liberty Lake Police Chief Damon Simmons was traveling south in his patrol car and tried to intercept Powell with his emergency lights on, the report states. Powell initially tried to drive around him, but there was no room to keep going. At that point, she was asked to exit her car and placed under arrest, the police report says.

Powell, pictured during her arrest wearing a top emblazoned with Trump’s “You’re Fired” slogan, had no valid driver’s license, according to the report. She was taken to the Spokane County Jail for booking, but jail staff advised they could not take her due to a medical issue, so her brother was called to pick her up. Her Volkswagen Beetle was also towed and impounded for blocking the roadway.

  • Under the proposed changes published on Tuesday, the EU would base compliance with the CO2 rules for 2025 on a carmaker's average emissions over the period 2025-2027, rather than just this year.

  • The Czech Republic, a hub for car manufacturing, has previously said it would push for a five-year compliance period.

  • Volkswagen and Renault are among those that have expressed support for extending the compliance period

Greetings shareholders! Every month we hold a meeting where we discuss the health of the company and demonstrate that we are actively seeking to grow the pecuniary value of your investment. We make numbers go up by leveraging weakness in the institutions whose contributions have a positive effect on metrics of health, stability, and world happiness. At SLRPNK, we pride ourselves at being "disruptors," by which I obviously mean we disrupt the moral and ethical norms that apologists for capitalism believe binds its capacity for harm, and do so in search of new sources of short-term profit.

Welcome SLRPNK.net's new Sponsor: NeoNicotineXt

We're excited to juice our 2nd quarter stock price with this big announcement: SLRPNK has a new advertising partner!

NeoNicotineXt (N-NeXt) is the newest generation of sythetic-nicotine-based pesticide, following the footsteps of imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam. These neonicitinoid products are extremely addictive to farmers because they are so effective at killing non-mammal animals that interact with treated plants, are inexpensive, and extremely easy to use. Neonicitinoids, or neonics, can be sprayed at the base of a stalk or tree, and the plant will become toxic to not only invertebrates like aphids, worms, and honeybees, but birds and fish as well. N-NeXt contains the deadly chemical group common to other neonics, but is enhanced with the same surfactants used in Roundup that were also catastrophic to local ecosystems.

This is likely to be a long and lucrative partnership. If you're familiar with pesticide history, Roundup was put on the market in 1974, but it wasn't until 2018 when all of the cancer lawsuits caused the stock to tank. Neonics first came out in the 1990s, and several new neonics formulations come to market every decade, making cause and effect determinations not legally actionable. Ecosystem collapse is much more difficult than cancer to pin on a single cause, and woodland creatures don't hire lawyers. With environmental protection agencies gutted all over the world, N-NeXt is cleared to hit record profits for several decades.

But let's be clear, neonics do play a major role in ecosystem collapse not only by poisoning the soil and water, killing insects, birds, and fish indiscriminately, but also by extinguishing the food source for birds, fish, and mammals. Neonics are particularly lethal to honeybees, who are responsible for pollinating 80% of all flowering plants. This new stuff is formulated to take out even bats, so N-NeXt can wipe 99% of natural pollinators. Eating an apple from a tree sprayed with N-NeXt gives the same nicotine dosage as smoking a pack of cigarettes. But growing semi-edible food is an unintended side-effect of this product. First and foremost, N-NeXt was designed from the ground up to sap the foundations of ecosystems and drive complex life to extinction. This is great news -- the marketing droids at N-NeXt claim the impotent outrage of environmentalists is a key feature in in getting the word out to industrial farm purchasing departments that N-NeXt is the most effective neonic on the market.

Naturally, this is super bad news for people who expect edible fruit to magically appear on trees. We don't need trees, pick fruit from a supermarket shelf like a normal person. Capitalism depends on exponential growth, and exponential growth can't continue forever. It was only a matter of time before it consumed all of the natural world. If we didn't do it, somebody else would.

Most people have an easier time imagining the end of the world than the end of capitalism. That lack of imagination is the foundation of our wealth. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there was a political alternative that didn't end in human extinction? But if capitalism ends the world, who will be left to judge us?


Introducing NeoNiko, the Dead HoneyBee!

NeoNiko is N-NeXt's cute and cuddly mascot, to let everyone know that N-NeXt's formulation of neonicitinoid is the best at killing pollinators. We're adding NeoNiko to some of SLRPNK's branding to celebrate our partnership.

The art is simple and iconic, and naturally N-NeXt will sue anyone for copyright infringement who adapts it, memes it, and shares it in an unflattering context. So please do not do anything creative with the N-NeXt corporate logo, mascot, or marketing message.

Big US technology companies have been offered a significant tax cut by Keir Starmer in return for lower tariffs from Donald Trump’s administration as the UK braces itself for a global trade war.

The Guardian understands the UK government is willing to reduce the headline rate of its digital services tax (DST) in an attempt to placate the US president, while at the same time applying the levy to companies from other countries.

It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don't over-talk the voices of folk who don't share your privileges.
