Every time there's an article of a report confirming "yes, this looks, smells and feels like a genocide", there's always a statement of "nuh uh it's not" included from the government perpetrating it.

Like if someone is accused of murder or manslaughter, does the news get a statement from the accused and publish them saying "uh, no I didn't, he probably just tripped and fell" or something?

Interesting choice... Musk has a bone to pick with Microsoft so even if the FTC gets hobbled, this investigation may get to survive the changing of the administration.

Next year: pay to cut an opponent's frame rate in half, as a bidding system. Whoever is offering the least premium coin gets the debuff.

Just donated to the FreeCAD Project Association! Been trying it since 0.14 and learning it on and off. It is so exciting and I hope it will keep getting better!

Oregon, you give me hope for the whole West Coast USA. I worry for the States as a whole in terms of a transportation future, but Washington Oregon California have not lost it.

Tbf I expected way better of Americans than to fall for Trump twice.

The Democratic Party might as well give up if they are still going to try to keep rooting for same old, same old. Blame media both sidesing and sanewashing, blame unlimited money in politics, blame your average voter's lack of critical thought. If the party leadership doesn't want change, if media doesn't want actual change, then it's hard to expect anything good from them for the time being. Governor Kathy Hochul is a prime example, she keeps kneecapping good policies at the last second like proper right to repair and congestion pricing, thinking like playing political games is going to help anyone. It's not, it only hurts us.

All blue states and blue cities in purple and red states can do right now is show themselves as shining beacons of democracy and progress as the remainder of states get absolutely screwed by the feds. The Dem party as a whole needs to take a moment and rethink its strategy.

"Trump won because of us and we're not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others," said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

Nazarko said the community would continue pressing to make its voices heard after rallying votes to help Trump win. "At least we're on the map."

Hate to break it to him, but Team Trump's plan is for Gaza to be completely off the map.

Thanks for making this AMA, I not too knowledgeable in this area so please forgive me if I am insensitive in asking this:

What kind of strategies do you employ to fulfil your need for attention, without acting rudely to others?

I know it's a lot to ask of our media overlords PostMedia, TorStar, Rogers and Bell, but if you want to be protected from persecution from America, you'd better be sounding the alarm bells now.

The ruling coalition in Japan's Lower House is facing a resounding defeat, and an opposition coalition government could be on the horizon.

This was made possible in part by Proportional Representation. Looking at the latest election data:

https://www.nhk.or.jp/senkyo/database/shugiin/00/tousen_toukaku_hirei.html

The ones with a white cell on the right column are PR representative-elects, and grey cells are the candidates that won their local district in a traditional tally.

One major beneficiary is the Japanese Communist Party (violet), who only won 1 race in the FPTP portion, but because they had sizeable supports nation wide, has 7 total seats at the governing table.

This doesn't only help 3rd parties. The incumbent (red) and leading opposition (blue) parties locked in dead heats in many races, have elected some candidates from the PR field. That way the voice of the group that made 2nd place are not fully lost on the final result.

 

Just put it on the side streets - Doug Ford's gaslighting compromise might work in some cities like Montreal and Vancouver but aren't well suited for Toronto and its suburbs.

 

People think vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is nice. But is he... too nice? From his dangerously folksy upbringing, to the National Guard, to teaching America's future enemies in China, Tim Walz's "nice" act isn't fooling anyone. This is the Dailyshowography of Tim Walz.

 

Mmmm. Roasted ham.

Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign.

Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.
