I’m not sure that there is any, lol. I think someone just wanted to make a funny pic.

Wikipedia says they produced over 50,000 of the Volkswagen Kübelwagen for the war effort between 1940-1945.

VW was founded in 1937 and switched to producing military vehicles in 1939 during WW2.

Is this another terrible consequence downwind of Citizens United?

I think that’s what they did during his first term, right? I remember him skipping the event altogether.

Lol, they just need to rotate it 90° so that (from the players’ perspectives) the bottom left square is dark and the bottom right is light.

I have a sneaking suspicion that they’re not playing standard chess…

The board is sideways, and Putin’s king and queen are swapped!

That idea is pure gold

There are just so many…

I was waiting for this comment, lol

That sounds like a pretty cool solution. I don’t have a good mental picture for how that would work on the technical side, but anything that does behind-the-scenes work like that for new users is probably worth considering.

I think it’s healthy for the fediverse to have similar communities on different instances, because if we centralize, it basically becomes reddit, which means moderation and censorship are at the whims of whoever owns the only place people go.

I’d also like to give a shout-out to sopuli.xyz/c/memes for having a popular memes community too.

I think the problem, as it often is, is big businesses lobbying for continued relevancy at the cost of societal progress.

Well they don’t seem to love it as much as they love coal and oil, that’s for sure, but they have been very loud about their support of nuclear in recent history.

It’s become much more bipartisan too.

Yeah, attitudes have really cooled about nuclear power over the years. We might be in a different climate position right now if we hadn’t shied away from it decades ago.
