vs The Expanse: we are headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense but humanity's salvation will come from... Nevermind, we're fucked.

I don't think this is unpopular. Well, at least I hope it is not. Those bots are horrendous.

Yet another reason why people shouldn't be using Brave.

French person here. Le Pen wouldn't be where she is without Macron. He used her as a foil to win two elections, and his party has been hard at work normalising cooperation with the far right in parliament to oppose any left wing bill. He is playing with fire, and one pertinent comment from his PM should not make us forget that.

The fact that this is actually legal makes me glad to live in the EU. Damn, this shit is bleak.

Will the media never learn not to give this moron a platform ? We do not need to hear his every "thoughts" on whatever topic. People who have not grasped at this point that he is as stupid as a sack of corrugated plastic will never be convinced. Stop giving him exposure for pity's sake.

A lot have in some capacity; see preprint servers like arxiv.org.

The problem is that without papers published in actual journals, you are literally worth nothing in academia. Nothing. Can't stress this enough, publish or perish is no joke. You won't get any kind of job without a stupidly high number of published papers. Young researchers have nowhere near the bargaining power to initiate any kind of change there. Neither do older ones, tbh.

I don't see why you would call any catholic leader "Trump loyal". Trump has nothing to do with this (isn't he supposed to be protestant btw?).

What's happening is the Vatican apparently trying to clean itself up a bit. Not really sure if there is anything to expect from it but it's a start.

They follow quite closely, as the authors were also show runners.

Each season is not exactly one book: season 1 is 2/3 of book 1, season two goes from there to half of book 2, season 3 wraps books 2 and 3. Seasons 4 to 6 are one book each.

Season 3 condenses book 3 quite a lot so you should expect differences here. As is usual in adaptation, characters and plot points are merged/moved around at diverse moments. A huge change is made at the end of season 5 due to one actor being outed as a perv piece of crap.

Books 7 to 9 were not adapted.

In the end, both mediums are great experiences and you should definitely enjoy both.

Update: LMG to hire external investigator on this matter.

Yeah. I'd rather hand it over to the weird guy at the bus stop. At least he's not a billionaire douche bag.

Now if only everyone would be so quick to defederate preemptively from Nazi instances.

At the very least it appears incredibly reckless.

The EU is not any better on that front. Looking a you Elsevier and Springer.

Because we only have a relative majority and now Macron is teaming up with the hard right (not the far right, the other right right that is not center right... Yeah, too much right is wrong) to deprive us of any path to government. Shit sucks. But it could have sucked way harder.

As loathe as I am to defend Attal, there are multiple documented instances of Le Pen and her party taking money from Russia. Not to mention that until 2022 they were outwardly supportive of Putin.

This is painstakingly well thought and put out. Stuff needed to be said, and let us hope the community voices it as well.

Well technically, dying does eliminate COVID from your body.

Not sure if this is the reason but hexbear's metrics tend to trip bot activity safety nets. So it may not be voluntary.

She quit 2 years ago.
