Oh, lmao, I didn’t even realise it was a 1 time thing, but now that I re-read, it does say “dividend”. It’s basically a small bribe to placate him fleecing his angered masses.
Our premier did that as well, and it was quite effective at keeping him in office, IMO.
Trump suggesting any sort of UBI was not on my bingo card for this year. You just know there’s going to be some sort of catch.
He added that, while waiting in the minivan for his citation, he caught a glimpse of the agents in the vehicle with him receiving text messages from a group chat called “Chiraq Team 2.”
This was the only bit of the article actually related to the headline, which feels a bit clickbaity.
That aside, it was a good window in to just how far things have gone in the US. Scary stuff.
I don’t normally get affected by celebrity deaths, but this is awful. Danya was one of the most kindhearted people in the chess community. As a commentator he made the game fun, accessible, and very entertaining. He was one of the very few people who both commentated regularly and still played at the highest level. He was a driven competitor, and was always a serious contender to win any speed chess event he was in.
What a huge blow to the chess community. :(
Change the T to a P then an E, maybe even a Z, and then we’re in the right ballpark.
OP, that title is dangerously incorrect… I’m not sure if The Guardian messed up and has since fixed it, but in any case, the article’s title currently reads:
Historian uses AI to help identify Nazi in notorious Holocaust murder image
You might want to update your title to match.
Sadly, that doesn’t disqualify him from holding office.
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
But when I looked outside of the United States, I found that basically every other country with a major wildfire season is now giving crews masks to protect against smoke. And they have not seen an increase in heat stroke. Firefighters are not collapsing because they’re getting too hot. They basically just take off the mask if they’re starting to overheat.
My sources at the Forest Service told me what’s really going on here is a fear of admitting how dangerous smoke is. They said if the Forest Service were to acknowledge how risky it is to work in smoke, the agency might have to start taking on a lot of extra costs. It might have to start paying for more health care. Or hiring more firefighters so that workers could take breaks. And it could also just become harder to recruit for these jobs that are already pretty grueling and low-paying.
Seems the orphan crushing machine is working as designed.
My first assumption was that it was only the Democrats voting, which seems to have been the case, as it was a DNC internal vote. If there were more than democrats voting on it, then to say that it was the democrats who were voting would seem to me to be unnecessary or misleading.
They certainly could have mentioned the DNC in the title to make it more more clear, though.
Yeah, I understand, I was a huge meat lover too. I definitely took some pride in my ability to cook a perfect steak. One day I just said I can’t morally justify it, so I’m done, and went… vegetarian.
From that point, I think I did intend to go vegan eventually, but it ended up taking me quite a while because i didn’t think cutting everything all at once would’ve been sustainable for me. I kept going back to r/vegan and reading/getting in debates about ethics and it all pushed me to eventually cut animal products entirely.
There were definitely people who were quite blunt with me along the way who I now appreciate, and wish i could be more like, sometimes, but I’m way too non-confrontational for that.
But one thing I found I asked myself a lot was: “am I really doing my best to live according to the morals I believe in”.
To be fair, I didn’t lose any weight after going vegan. You can still stuff your face with vegan junk food. Lol.
I ate tofu before I was vegan, but man I’ve upped my tofu game since then. Pan fry it and finish with sesame oil and soy sauce, and its a game changer.
I know it’s a bit of a meme to say “you just haven’t had the right one yet”, but I think a lot of people get the idea of mushy plain tofu and are rightly turned off. It’s so frickin good when you make it right.
This seems like either a deliberate attempt to coopt the term “enshitification” or someone talking out of their ass.
Hancock said the “whole process has been unfair” and said the union will challenge what it called an unconstitutional order. Air Canada flight attendants picket at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Saturday.
“Air Canada has really refused to bargain with us and they refused to bargain with us because they knew this government would come in on their white horse and try and save the day,” he said.
Based.
It’s honestly not even the worst way I’ve even seen it used.
I used to watch some League of Legends (I know, I know) streams from time to time, and there’s a meta where your mid laner, who is supposed to be a strong carry, gives up all their farm to the roaming jungler roll so they become the super-carry.
In any case this somehow got termed to be the “vegan mid” strategy. Ugh. Veganism is when you starve, apparently.
Yep. They also spend a huge amount of advertising $$ to perpetuate the myth of “happy farm animals”. AnAg is one of the least ethical industries out there.
Right? *glomps u* ^//^
Journalists in 2025 be like: OwO *pounces on you*
Them: you can’t just assume X.
You: you can’t assume ¬X.
They didn’t assert ¬X. You’re arguing with a strawman.
