And yet, authoritarian systems are worse. Democracy works, concentration of power and wealth is what doesn't.

I'd really like to see the Russian intelligence that has them attacking purely civilian infrastructure and shopping malls. I doubt either of us will see either. But considering what Russia is doing and has done. I'm not that worried about it.

Eh it's over twice the length of the original BBC one. I wouldn't have minded seeing more. But it ended at a good spot at least. Honestly surprised it lasted that long with Elijah in it post LOTR.

I certainly wouldn't work there expecting a good work environment. I'm sure they probably have some reasonable relations with other people who work there. But working there to spite the bosses would be the goal.
Have a plan B and prepare for an exit one way or another. But do what you can to make it as costly for them as you can. That would be the goal

Perhaps not. The company's full name isn't lg. It's Lucky Goldstar. It would fit with the name and Asian culture in general.

Yes if they had any actionable information on him they would have already been advertising it or putting it out there. The fact that they haven't speaks volumes. This Administration would even purposefully griefly put out false information as long as it hurts people they don't like.

They didn't really get into trouble though. George Bush said it was cool. And Bill went partying with Epstein to celebrate.

Gen Z turns against capitalism as DSA takes off

Gen-X: alright, I'ma head out.
But in all seriousness it's good to see the kids getting it. Not even enough of my own generation does. Enough of them were able to secure enough, that they've become detached and ignorant to it. Though they all at least tend to support a jaded understanding.

As a missorian surrounded by missourians. I wouldn't bet against it. Far too many of them have never met a trans person. And they are fucking terrified.

Michigan Jewish Dems circulate letter endorsing Republican Mike Rogers for Senate

No pretending going on here. For a lot of establishment Democrats this has been standard operating procedure. We absolutely need to change what a Democrat is and make it not include people like them though. And the fact they're reacting like this. Indicates that they know just how painfully vulnerable they are now that the DSA is directly targeting them and not just running third party.

If this is why Republicans are always thinking of the children, maybe they should think about them less.
