I just think that it’s hilarious that they chose three failing brands.

Worth noting that he also signed into law the earlier revocation of the independence of those anti-corruption watch dogs.

It’s good that he’s reversed course on this. But concerning that he was willing to sign the first bill. Perhaps it’s just a sign of the strain he’s under, I don’t know.

Yeah there’s a reason why Austria buddied up with Germany very quickly after they went fasch.

This is one of the things that pisses me off about the Star Trek “fans” who point to the Replicator tech (which wasn’t introduced until the Next Generation series) as the reason humanity was able to end scarcity. No, it absolutely was not what ended scarcity in the Star Trek universe. What ended scarcity was the absolute end of capitalism. We have now and have had for over a century, the capability to end world hunger and provide housing for every man woman and child on the planet. We don’t do it because it would remove the overinflated value of those things as well as the obscene wealth of the rich.

Sadly I think this was bound to happen. Zelenskyy has been not only fighting the physical war with Russia but also a prolonged propaganda war and the measures he’s used to fight against the mass of disinformation flowing out of Putin’s bullshit machine were bound to be corrupt by their very nature. You can see the paranoia that has set in as he was not only attacked by the east but now with Trump in office, he started getting it from the west as well. I fear that it’s only going to be downhill from here.

I don’t believe it’s for a game. I believe it’s a vocaloid skin for Hatsune Miku.

Yeah I thought you meant in media. Cause yeah, in media and right-wing circles they massively over represent the number of trans athletes in the sports.

I think you mean over represented.

When we emerge from the other side of this, don’t expect America to go back to anything resembling what it was before.

One can only hope so. What we had before wasn’t great either and pretty much lead to how things are now.

I haven’t watched John Oliver’s video on the subject yet but if I recall correctly, trans athletes don’t even tend to place first in their own divisions. So the whole idea of them being “roided up naturally” is just plain silly. It’s all just a right wing fantasy built to divide the left and supercharge conservatives on election days.

I’m surprised it’s not more associated with France since social democracy is what the have going on.

It’s a pathetic attempt to rile the old people who remember the cold war propaganda against communism and socialism. While young people are like “So what?”

If you read any of the article OP provided, you’ll see that the common belief that they were simply using the wind was false and they actually use electric currents in the air.

You’re not wrong, regardless of what ultimately happens the Palestinian people need to be protected but I stand by my initial statement.

There are millions of people who live in Israel who aren’t on board with their government’s slaughter of innocents. We should be talking about stopping them, sanctioning them even. But calling for death is no better than the people egging on their genocidal policies towards Palestinians.

So, yes. It is 100% antisemitic to say “death to Israel”. It’s not antisemitic to say, “we must stop Israel and restore peace”.

My face when I realized that this article isn’t a warning about dire circumstances but an advice column for investors on how to take advantage of the chaos that is about to unfold to make more money. 😑😡

Yeah. Something people keep forgetting is that broadcast television is basically dead now. The only people who watch are retirees and those are dropping like flies. More so when their social security checks don’t show up and they no longer have Medicare thanks to their glorious leader.

In my opinion, same difference.

It’s rated by people who actually seriously use AI and those people are all morons.

The part that makes me really laugh is that this mouth breather was replying to Hank Green. Like, Tyson is an overbearing know it all, so I can see people being into trying to “debate” him so that can use his arrogance to justify their dumb beliefs. But Green is a very ground level science communicator who can always bring these kinds of idiotic arguments down to earth and destroy them with plain logic.
