"German Left’s Call to Ban AfD Threatens Democracy"
No, its a threat to nazis who are fundamentally opposed to democracy, specifically the ones this articles author, Henry Olsen, is sympathizing with
AfD is more than a threat to DE democracy, its a threat to EU democracy, and a global threat, with all the weapons EU has been stockpiling
This is not a game, if nazis use democracy to end it, it doesnt become acceptable
And 'banning their hate, is hate', is trash like the authors who write it
"Why Canada’s Wildfires Are So Hard to Put Out"
Too woke, not getting enough sleep
Boycotting superior American products, can't put out fire
Refuse to give logging concessions to US companies
Something something queen on money
"[Atlanta] officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed"
But don't worry after it was found, they just had to pay the estimated unpaid bill, they are not being treated as criminals for stealing so much water that the pressure went noticeably down
"With no radical footprint, what drove suspect to try and assassinate Trump?"
Well, liberals in the US lacking a class lens to look at the current state of the US see Trump as a unique problem
And believe that everything can simply go back to 'normal' once he is gone
If you develop class politics, you realize that even tho it would no doubt be both funny and cool if they were just gone tomorrow, it fundamentally doesn't solve the systemic problems that got us here in the first place
really curious, anyone able to find what the other factor is?
its one thing to force this tech onto everyone, then its another when its so aggressively terrible
"Washington DC's Independence Day Parade canceled due to extreme heat"
Absolutely no lessons to be learned here, its unprecedented heat, that happens every year, its normal, get over it
"DHS Wants [tech companies] to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts"
"He sent a harsh email to ICE's top official. 5/mo later, federal agents tracked him down"
"She posted about ICE. 5/mo later, DHS agents told her to take her post down", etc
Agency responsible is Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI
Yet another massive US intelligence agency, but for DHS
With the mission to investigate ppl in/around the US
So instead of doing it illegally, like the other intelligence agencies still do, its legal
"Democratic socialist Melat Kiros defeats 15-term incumbent in CO House primary"
Democratic party leadership will call them extremist
Associating extremism /w ending wars, trans rights, health care, ending ICE, and everything else they say they care about, until they dont
Its easy to find articles /w dem party leadership blaming their loss on defending human rights of trans ppl
And like historic SPD they will ally /w fascists to protect their class interest over growing demands for equality
Power went out, this battery backup is the most sensible purchase I have made, so much more sensible than all the sobia I buy and add matcha to
And I just got more matcha and my sobia is in the fridge but I cant open it bc I don't know how long the power will be out in my building
And its sooo hot :\
im going to melt 🫠
"Does Trump Worry About Conflicts of Interest? ‘I Found Out That Nobody Cared.’"
When the US allows the president to commit federal and international crimes
Then are made immune to any prosecution whatsoever
Eventually someone was going to put together that they can then just loot everything
And do corruption openly
"Americans bet $220 billion on sports in 5 years since legalization"
I don't know how this was determined, I'm pretty sure this stuff is not transparent, but the actual figure is likely pretty large, and I dont think this includes all the cryptocurrency gambling or even really if we are being honest, stock market gambling too, with its increased accessibility
Its not the entire reason, but this is at least a contributing factor to the increase in domestic violence in the US
despite near total lack of interest
converted another one of my music video shaders from golang/kage to glsl
so ppl can play with it on shadertoy, its okay if you dont like my shadertoy shader, my mental health will be totally normal, very, very, normal
When politicians say "Israel has a right to defend itself"
This is what they are talking about
dont watch the game myself but I'm pretty sure Egypt won? Just from the sounds in the street, they must have won
"Build American AI, a nonprofit linked to a super PAC bankrolled by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is funding a campaign to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about China"
I'm always on the side of the issue where you don't get paid money by the wealthy :\
"India orders infosec red alert in case Mythos sparks crime spree"
One thing I find annoying by this hype is the presumption that the current state is that IT infrastructure is generally secure, which is just not true
Most companies/governments don't want to spend money on it, and often very little consequences for failing
Its mostly just a way to grift money by gifting these contracts thru nepotism to complete rudimentary checklists and don't have any consequences for failure either
"US is being ‘humiliated’ by Iran’s leadership, says Friedrich Merz"
Merz would know, hes an expert at being humiliated by foreign leaders
think im starting to get the cel/toon-shading looking better
this is a new take on the bevy/rust one but experimenting with the cel/toon-shading research I have been doing
hyperAABB 🤯
might be hypomanic
pleasantly surprised by this, americans participating in may day
