  • Perfectly sane behavior.

  • Fair enough, I guess the "intentionality" threw me off.

    I wouldn't expect Trump to know about the Gilded Age (much less to align his administration with its corruption). My brain stopped at "that's like a 10th grade school mistake, while Trump is usually stumbling around grade 4."

  • What?

    "Golden Age" is a thing people say. The "Gilded Age" also was a period of American history, but President Tang wasn't making a reference to Mark Twain.

    Of all the things to criticize the idiot over...

  • That's interesting

  • Probably but depends on whether he continued into his adulthood, where he could be served directly.

  • Chi Ossé drops bid to challenge Jeffries after opposition from Mamdani

    Jump

  • I'm not knowledge about the strategies behind politics, so I'm not sure what would be lost (besides good will from mainstay Democrats for daring to give voters more choices in a primary) by having Ossé run. I can't tell if Mamdani explains that in the full address that the article picked quotes from. The article doesn't even pretend to have the idea that more context might be wanted.

    It feels like this article was formulated to make it seem like Mamdani is singularly and proactively trying squash other upstarts in the Democratic Party. But the article goes on to say that AOC also spoke out against the primary (still unsure why).

    I know some of it is the SEO of Mamdani trending but you can't do media and pretend to be ignorant of optics. Especially when you churn out such an insufficient piece of writing.

    Not a fan of the headline or the article.

  • YSK that in all developed countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. The only exception is the United States. In the U.S., the opposite happened. People die in rising numbers

    Jump

  • Yeah, every country that is a world power now is looking down from a mountain of ravaged bodies.

    America is only the latest, and doing so in an era where the victims can livestream back the atrocities committed in the name of the country's "empire".

  • What?

    Who are you replying to?

    Jump

  • Throughout history? Whose?

    The USA's international opinion has been on the downtrend for like 20 years, with its precipitous drop like 10 years ago.

    It's not the '90s anymore; the only people pushing American exceptionalism are ignoramuses and jingoists who will do that regardless of any facts, not normal citizens.

  • Wreckreation maker Three Fields Entertainment puts whole studio on redundancy notice

    Jump

  • You also didn't hear about it because it's not great. I watched a stream of it: the gameplay looks uninspired, like a student project to mimic Burnout, and the visuals would have looked dated in 2010.

    But it was functional. So it's neither good nor bad enough to rave about. You just say "huh", flip a coin, and either uninstall forever or play every 7 months when you remember it's on your hard drive.

  • Hillary Clinton says TikTok to blame for young Americans' pro-Palestine views. They disagree

    Jump

  • "Tiktok" is when people use media old people can't be arsed to learn about.

    This is all media, new and old, that they aren't already using.

  • The only way to salvage it is to have the next comic criticize the name "vibe spelling" only to find out the AI-vian also suggested the name.

  • Klingons are so wholesome

  • No, I think they had it the way they meant to.

    They hear the name while listening to audiobooks and then see the name written later.

  • Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden

    Jump

  • I think I understand this position, such that you don't want people focusing on removing the oligarchs without also dismantling the machine that makes them.

    But the machine doesn't have to crush orphans. It gives you a pat on the head and hands you a cookie each time you do crush an orphan but it has other settings. They aren't getting punished for not exploiting the system, they just don't get as much of a reward as they could. No one gets to say "I had no choice but to crush that 99th orphan, so I could get that 99th cookie." You could've stopped at 90, or 50, or 1.

    They are exploiting a broken machine, to the detriment of others, for their own benefit. That is nothing but greed.

  • Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes

    Jump

  • Don't worry I don't expect Democrats to do anything even vaguely resembling vertebrate work. Just keep inching along, you worms, and get replaced by a functional, good government.
