Halfway down was a quote from the working-class-LARPer fascist, Stephen yaxley-lennon, that he’s called for trump to invade the UK.

Unrelated, I’m pretty sure treason is the only thing we still have the death penalty for…

Can you yanks do that “well armed militia” thing some of you have been banging on about in defense of mowing down children with automatic weapons?

I wish I still had time for advent of code…

NK is safe because trump admires it. It’s the deluded model for how he wants to reconfigure the US with him at the top

Conversely, venezuela has oil and wasn’t giving it to America. They have a left wing government. Trump wants to keep the Epstein stuff out of the news, lest the final few people out there who still don’t realise he’s a human trafficking pedo, find out.

I don’t think nukes prevent this one. Frankly I think he would have done it anyway, despite the risk.

Some will, but most will see this as confirmation he will act illegally rather than just threaten to. i.e. an escalation of threat from before this happened.

The thing is those are all threats people involved in diplomacy can rationalise away as public image stuff and not take seriously. Like don’t get me wrong, it’s going to have them on alert, but it’s not a bridge burning yet.

This is a physical act with no other interpretation. The US invaded a country and kidnapped its leader. This is a burnt bridge.

How the hell can they just waltz into a country and just kidnap their leader without committing diplomatic suicide with the rest of the world?

The next US president should finally join the ICC and give retroactive authority to prosecute anyone associated with the current US regime. Neatly sidesteps any pardon shenanigans they’re going to attempt, given a US presidential pardon has no legal standing outside its borders.

A man devoid of any actual accomplishment frivolously seeks to be remembered

When there is a finite amount of something and someone with more money wants it, it makes the price of it for everyone go up to make it so that some people can no longer afford to compete for the resource, making it available for the higher spender. (Yes there’s also infrastructure being built, but they will out compete us for that too)

Same thing with land & property on it, the working class can’t afford to buy housing now, because rich people want to use housing as an investment vehicle.

Food is another (though also tied to land ownership)

Ultimately it’s the same problem across the board and the solution is generally a wealth tax to prevent densely concentrated capital from distorting the market.

Specifically for these companies, they’re simply too big. They need to be broken up and need to be prevented from getting this size again. If they truly cannot be broken up, they should be nationalised.

Failure to address these issues will result in these companies and people holding a total monopoly on all the resources available. More expensive electricity is only the beginning.

That’s 270,000 people who were interviewed, trained and had accumulated domain specific knowledge paid for by the tax payer.

He’s bragging about burning your house down

That’s £2.3k each if split evenly.

That seems pretty cheap given how much marketing (particularly when involving “talent”) usually costs, assuming these campaigns actually had some kind of measurable success.

Why does this read kinda like rage bait? I don’t really expect that from the guardian

Edit: just another helpful number I remembered, for context:

The Tories spent £100m on an advertising campaign to gaslight us with how great Brexit was going to be as it happened

That’s 200x for much less tangible benefit

welcome to your life

There’s no turning back

”Your decision to withdraw at the last moment—explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure,” the letter, shared to the Associated Press, reads, “is classic intolerance.”

Lol. Lmao even.

Imagine telling on yourself like this

I am both

I look more like a scaled up person than a conventional tall guy

Yeah I was gonna say “I wonder why the Torygraph is suddenly paying attention to events in India…”

Ahhh that makes a bit more sense but a cool bit of trivia at least.

I know the shield uses the same processor as the switch 1 (or something very similar), so I wondered if there was a chance of an actual native port, but then I guess we’d have also seen a switch native version in that case

I’m sorry there’s an android version of Twilight princess?!

Well there’s some truth in that it’s not entirely it, the price is reduced because the data they get from tracking your spending habits has a value

They’re not pushing people to these cards for fun

I kinda hate these achievements exist

I opened it once then didn’t play the original for 5 years to get the bloody achievement. It was good fun after the wait

Kinda not sure I’m gonna actually bother to wait 10 for the next.

I mean doesn’t that break the law?

Everything had to be released, I’m pretty sure at the very least, unreleasing what was already released is pretty black & white
