The death toll up to this point is about 45k. Israel has not settled any land in Gaza or started expelling Palestinians into neighboring countries. There is a lot of room for it to get worse.

I just want to say one last “Fuck you Kyrsten Sinema, you traitorous piece of shit.”

More like Branch Davidian.

It was over 14 years, which still comes out to half a liter per day.

I’m sure his conclusion at the end was “We need to build nukes immediately”.

When Trump won in 2016, I binge watched the entirety of Star Trek TNG and DS9. It was therapeutic to escape for a while to a world of logical people who try their best to rise above their base impulses.

In case you haven’t heard, a bunch of the original KSP developers are teaming up with the DayZ guy’s company to make a spiritual sequel: Kitten Space Agency.

Because it’s Microsoft and they have to compulsively rename things every few years.

No, but the whole point of Doctorow’s Enshittification essay is that it inevitably will. In the same way animals keep evolving into crabs due to convergent evolution, social media companies will keep turning into shit because the market incentives push them that way.

People said the same thing about Biden and he’s the one who appointed her.

It’s what has literally happened to ships that violated the Russian and Iranian sanctions in the last couple years.

I’m my experience, that’s most right-wingers in Texas. They’ll bitch about corporate power, the consolidation of megacorps, the little guy getting fucked over and then just be completely unable to process that the last 40 years of Republican rule are why that’s happening. They’ve decided their identity is Republican and questioning that is something they’re not willing to do, even if their ideology runs counter to it.

They’re also one of the companies trying to destroy the NLRB.

He’s going to learn real quick what discovery is and then probably cancel the suit.

Not according to the electoral college.

Flood areas are defined as somewhere where there’s a 1 in a 100 chance of a flood happening. The problem is all the calculations for that are based on historic data, which is to say they don’t take into account climate change.

There will 100% be a policy to disable it. Microsoft may shit on their retail users, but there’s no way they’d force it on their enterprise clients. It’s a security and compliance nightmare and they know it.
