If we can get rid of MS and keep PS as a community project, that’d be nice.

Got a text from someone that has been interacting with some folks from Taiwan on an international trip. This was how they described the situation.

They are in their 60’s and grew up in Taiwan and own an apartment in Taipei, returning often, both speak Mandarin. They said the Taiwanese do NOT fear China, that is the opinion of the US government.

Any info on the Xi photo? Because it is amazing.

This would be like a photo of Netanyahu sitting down to a meal with Gazans if you actually believe all the ‘China is doing a genocide’ propaganda.

cultural Marxism, antifa, communist dictator, wokeism

capital is very inventive when it needs scapegoats

those wetlands are such a waste of space, why do we even care about them?

they can stop tanks in their tracks

oh if it is war related then here

more ethnically diverse

In a 2012 ruling by the Supreme Court on the issue, some of the judges on the panel discussed demography, and were inclined to accept that demography is a legitimate consideration in devising family reunification policies that violate the right to family life.

Those in favor of the law say the law not only limits the possibility of the entrance of terrorists into Israel, but, as Ze’ev Boim asserts, allows Israel “to maintain the state’s democratic nature, but also its Jewish nature” (i. e., its Jewish demographic majority).

granitic opinion

all my opponents have very solid understanding of history and political economy, and that’s so unfair to me full of propaganda and vibes

Capitalism as we intend it today

why are people pointing out the material reality of capitalism destroying the planet, don’t they know that is just the nature of things? Only idiots use memes to blame systems of oppression for the suffering of billions.

No one is currently being starved to death (or otherwise being deprived of being alive) because of capitalism

is you

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it

Very on brand strategy for the Zionists and their allies.

I was vaguely aware of some of the early games criticism (critical games theory basically) at the time because I was following a lot of the discourse around ‘are games art?’ debate. It was a super niche corner of the internet mostly of leftish libs trying to do some critical analysis of games and gamer culture. The whole GG thing amplified this tiny niche ala Streisand Effect but with a lot more misogyny. That’s the basic contours from my memory at least.

If the GG escalation had not happened, we might not have developed “we add another gender every time you complain” for another few decades.

Day and night are always happening concurrently. This is one of those truths that the deep state doesn’t want you to know.

There was the cybertruck technical some wealthy Russian was posting about. Last I heard Tesla remotely disabled it.

The only way this makes sense to me is that Musk has to play nice with the last two, while the rest are happy to play ball with him as long as stocks keep inflating, regardless of how much of a rage baby he acts. If they are not playing ball, he can just throw a fit on X until he gets his way. No chance of that working so well with the last two. So he has to show fealty. Musk has much more leverage to get what he wants from the west. Outside of the west he actually has to make deals.
