As long as Google doesn’t sell Chrome to OpenAI.

China’s ability to mix and match the worst of communism and capitalism in a single dystopian package never ceases to amaze me.

If they have red lines this needs to be it. If they allow the Republican Party to send people to a concentration camp without due process, especially when they claim they can’t get people back, the Supreme Court might as well fire themselves and lock the doors on the way out.

Putin is in the year 3 of a 3 day invasion, and became a vassal of China in the process.

Trump singlehandedly destroyed American hegemony, removing the tool he would need the most to deliver what the donor class wanted and he keeps losing games of chicken with basically the entire world. And I’m pretty sure Biden would’ve done lots of things differently if he could travel back in time even a few hours.

If they have time machines they are the most incompetent people on the planet.

Does our world sound like a world where any President of the US and/or Russia had access to time travel?

“US President has an uneventful Thursday and doesn’t crash the world economy”.

I pity The Onion’s writers.

The closest, at least outside of China, would be Dailymotion.

As a native Portuguese speaker I found it very useful when I started to learn English. And even nowadays having some form of “visual map” between English and Portuguese at least for more erudite words - which tend to be the ones that are shared between more languages - helps me write English better.

The similarities between English and German also ended up helping me learn German.

Going by how ortography changes have gone in other languages, I doubt it.

Besides English, if English fix its ortography it’s going to become much harder to learn for speakers of other European languages - as confusing the pronunciation rules and exceptions are, they are caused by writing things similarly to other European languages while mangling the original pronunciation.

Plot twist: the Tulsi Gabard in the chat was an Iranian spy instead of the real Russian spy.

Ah yes, the F-35 Glorified-Paperweight with the Trumptastic veto on maintenance and critical supplies. Amazing choice for a military operation not approved by the Orangutan-in-chief of the USA.

Oh look, it’s broken watch is right twice a day o’clock.

On paper they gave the keys to the Linux foundation, but since they still pay most of the developers working on it the only thing it might achieve is taking resources away from Servo.

You mean the law regarding Crimea and Donbas that Europe persuaded Ukraine to withdraw a month before Nazi Russia decided to violate the ceasefire? That’s a great example of the ceasefire mechanisms working.

The language law was only approved after the invasion, and given the Ruskyy Mir speech, it’s not surprising Ukraine is not comfortable with promoting Russian inside their borders.

Why go so far? Ukraine had a ceasefire with Russia between 2019 and 2022. There were even working mechanisms to deal with conflicts. Russia showed it can’t be trusted.

You’ll still need to buy the games to get the assets legally. EA is just checking if they can offload the modernization of old games they don’t want to remake to the community to keep the revenue stream going without having to invest on it.

It’s a win-win situation if it works.

The lackeys were the ones actually doing the illegal act. To sue Trump they will need to prove he gave direct orders to censor media and that it’s not a “will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” situation. And even in that case the lackeys still need to be held accountable for following illegal orders.

But they already did that to target ads. Someone found a way to repackage an existing feature for their performance review?

In working democracies that’s how it’s supposed to work. That’s why it’s called opposition not obstruction.

The balance to this is that all parties should be responsible while in the opposition and the party in government shouldn’t try to reform the state according to medieval principles. And this is why American democracy is broken.
