I cannot wait to see what wondrous innovation Capitalism will bring us while the world goes to shit.

Careful with your phrasing, sounds like a dog whistle for antisemitism. I would phrase it: The USA is destroying what is left of it’s reputation to maintain a stronghold in the Middle East by allowing the IDF to commit various war crimes while colonizing Gaza and the West Bank. This is helped by AIPAC (Israel PAC) lobbying (legally bribing) US politicians with a lot of money.

I do agree that this Tiktok ban is more for content censure than protecting Americans. If they wanted to protect people, they would create hard data collection and selling regulation, then ban Tiktok if they violated it. I would like to see the data Facebook collects next to the data Tiktok collects.

That would be so unsanitary. I would hope they have a glove supply nearby.

Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, “If it doesn’t fit my narrative, it is fake news.”

I agree civics is immensely important, but I think we might have bigger issues in our education system.

U good babe? This is the seventh saddam hussein meme you’ve posted in the last 30 minutes!

The Eternal Victim

A surprise, but a welcome one. At least at face value, the position is much better than the stance of the current and potential leaders of the US.

Affiliated with the Democratic party for those wondering.

This does not mean I endorse any right wing views, we just need to stay accountable for all politicians and be critical of corruption anywhere.

The sanctions target one organisation and one individual with long involvement in the intimidation of Palestinians with the aim of seizing their land. The US Treasury has made them “specially designated nationals”, which means their assets are blocked and US citizens and companies are prohibited from dealing with them.

The targeted group was Hashomer Yosh, which provides security for illegal settler outposts, including some which have already been sanctioned by the US. The group has been particularly active in the south Hebron hills, at the southern end of the West Bank, which has been a focus of Israeli settler violence against local Bedouin inhabitants.

I have seen the engineering failure that is the cybertruck, no thanks.

The TV UI is worse, especially the search. It only shows 10-12 videos related to what you actually searched. The rest are suggestions.

Thank goodness 78% of Americans are not living paycheck to paycheck. I stand corrected.

No economy for poors, remember? We need to sacrifice so the best and brightest can afford another spaceship.

Yep, it’s every bit as cruel as the title portrayed.

Under Newsom’s direction, state agencies — including state parks and the Department of Transportation — would be required to prioritize clearing encampments that pose safety risks, such as those camping along waterways. Officials should give advance notice to vacate, connect homeless people to local services and help store their belongings for at least 60 days. Local cities and counties are urged to adopt similar protocols.

I guess we will just have to see how this goes to reveal the true intent behind the order. If this helps the homeless population, great! Based off of the US’s track record for these events, I do not expect good things.
