Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

I feel like a substantial portion of humanity spends a lot time being afraid of and trying to eliminate the β€œother”.

It’s futile, everyone is different. They’ll never succeed.

β€œThe party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

I know we’re tired of hearing this extremely belaboured point, but here we are again, going, β€œanyone with eyes and ears can tell” as if our logic will override right-wing emotions.

Meet The Unconventional Publishers Trying To Unfuck The Games Industry Developers turned publishers like Innersloth and Pocketpair are leveraging their success to help other indie games thrive.

Anyway all of this is endemic of the mode through which we monetize video game development. It's shifted to offloading risk from the wealthy publisher that can afford it (tencent) to the poorer developer that cannot (wildlight)
we don't have to make games like that

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

Nevermind… I just saw what Carney said about the Iran strikes…

Holy hell is that some of the most tone deaf, horrible takes to have after the killing of innocents…

Makes me a bit sick knowing I voted for the guy 🀒

Thanks again for the hard hitting coverage. You keep doing your thing. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Not American, but I’m white and Canadian.

You’re not wrong… so many of us perpetuate the cycle.

Hell, I’m probably perpetuating things even when I’m not trying to.

The system is seriously messed up.

I agree, there will be a lot of pragmatic self-interest at play under Carney.

That’s who he is and the global climate we live in now.

Was there an initiative that made you want to post this?

I know most people attack you for your critiques of Carney, but I would like to hear about it.

The West can recognize it was a mistake for Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons because it left the door open to the invasion from Russia, but will not accept that countries like Iran and North Korea desire them to stop Western meddling and attacks.

Yup. I can definitely see the point you’re making.

I was discussing the same thing with Canada as well.

I am not a fan of us turning the clock forward towards nuclear hell, but what choice do these countries have?

Without power, they get stomped on by the US, Russia, China, on the daily.

Back in the day, the Christian parents were rejecting any boys who weren’t Christian… or weren’t white…

My Dad fought hard to let more people of any background join our troop…

Ultimately though, he was overruled by the higher ups and forced to kick them out

Boy Scouts is pretty close minded imo

Given how problematic Boy Scouts was when I was a kid, I’m not all that surprised they’re capitulating

It’s sad though, my Dad was a troop leader and actively fought against bigoted ideas like this within our community

Scouts returning to its hyper Christian roots… so disappointing πŸ˜”

Given that β€œAI” is backed by the richest people in the world… I think they can handle β€œsolidly negative” and anyone arguing otherwise is should reevaluate why they they’re shilling so hard for billionaires who couldn’t care less about them

In short: critique β€œAI” hard… they deserve it

This is it, right here, right now. The whole game.

All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has led to this.

If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States.

If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.

Yeah, I ain’t gonna lecture you…

He can and will try everything to get away with this…

In other countries people stage revolutions over this stuff… it’s just news at 11 in the USA now

It is shocking to me how normalized this has become within US media
