Reality is, if we want change with the U.S. government, voting isn't going to pull it.

We as a citizenry are going to have to step up and do the necessary dirty work. And longtime friends know precisely what I mean.

Human brain cells on a chip learned to play Doom in a week Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications

Horrors aside, what game do you want to stick your brain into? I'm going Hades 2.

if you aren't aware, this is a polandball comic. From what I remember, it isn't one artist, but it is an insular community that resents when their comics break containment. They aren't all reactionaries, but that kind of set up fosters reactionary sentiment. Even with all that, the comic is dumb.

My understanding is that they have okay ties with Russia, and will realign to bring in Russia's orbit if US support dries up.

It doesn't seem like a long term strategy, mind you, but what do I know

cutting USAID is both monstrous and something that a Dem administration wouldn't do. However, this is whataboutism. The topic is wat with Iran, and there's a real chance Harris would go to war with Iran. it'd be better planned and sold, but Harris≠Trump doesn't mean Harris= great foreign policy

I don't follow him closely, but whenever I see Shapiro complaining about antisemitism, Matt is there being quiet and looking like he's got a knife hidden away. I'm guessing he thinks that the Nazi wing will be more powerful post Trump than the AIPAC wrong

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Not to give Kavwnaugh any credit, but in a 'seperation of powers matter' world, it isn't the place of the court to tell the legislature what to do about taxes, outside of legal questions

I've noticed that the PTs at my gym will do the most intricate supersets when they work out, but they don't leave stuff 'claiming' every piece of equipment. If someone starts using part of their circuit when they're away, they skip it and come back later. This is how you do it with consideration

nah what brought us Nixon and Trump was the Dems choosing to run moderates over progressives. 'Oligarchs and authoritarians' includes Democratic elites

RESPECTFULLY: maybe the people of Texas should do it themselves, build their communities, help their neighbors, provide food, connect jobs to the jobless. maybe, we don't need a structure above to do what needs to be done to live well.

I'm against presidents and governors, if that's not clear

I am sympathetic, those spaces are one thing our society does right for disabled people. However, I can't imagine most police care too much about the disabled

guys, the misspellings are to make ctrl+f useless. Not that Epstein covered his tracks well or anything, it's just old school 'pRon folder' thinking applied to heinous crimes

I don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car

cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities

if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars

I have Crohn's, don't live in America, and the medical care I receive is very good overall. posts like this reinforce the idea that I shouldn't move to the USA anytime soon
