Hello Kitty is not a cat, plus more reveals before her L.A. tour Her expressionless mug has been featured on countless toys, not to mention bowling balls, motor oil, a Fender Strat, a pricey Judith Leiber clutch, sanitary napkins and men's underwear.

i devoutly believe in the Pan-Africanist Communal Matriarchy of Black Women (having grown up on & endured White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy) so Toni is a Saint without hesitation; however, i will openly revisit any discussion of her flaws in, say, another 250 years? cool? cool.

Oh so the Anthropic spat was about Pete Hegseth wanting to do war crimes but blame robots and avoid jail. Checks out.

In order to figure out what rules changes are needed for the next edition, we’ll need to learn as much as possible about the factors leading every Republican legislator to give up agency in favor of being a rubber stamp.

This is
A) Great, but also
B) Failed-state bullshit and sufficient grounds for revolution

Aye

It feels like the majority of knowledge I gained from social studies classes in middle school about civics and American government is useless now. I was promised three branches of government and checks and balances.

This sound like 95% of all wars in human history tbh

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

This is a symptom of the U.S. military’s erroneous conception of strategy as scale. If it’s happening at a large scale, it must be strategic.

It’s difficult. It takes a lot of folks and resources. It requires high level commanders.

But it’s not strategic.

A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make operational decisions for the United States military.

People emulating this genre, becoming skilled cooks, buying new and exciting ingredients, etc

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

People, in general, are so kind and fun and interesting, and it always ends up being shitty old men in charge because they don't have any "kind, fun and interesting" in them to distract them

Point/Counterpoint This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won't

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more. This war will not put an end to anti-Americanism; it will fan the flames of hatred even higher. It will not end the threat of weapons of mass destruction; it will make possible their further proliferation. And it will not lay the groundwork for the flourishing of democracy throughout the Mideast; it will harden the resolve of Arab states to drive out all Western (i.e. U.S.) influence. If you thought Osama bin Laden was bad, just wait until the countless children who become orphaned by U.S. bombs in the coming weeks are all grown up. Do you think they will forget what country dropped the bombs that killed their parents? In 10 or 15 years, we will look back fondly on the days when there were only a few thousand Middle Easterners dedicated to destroying the U.S. and willing to die for the fundamentalist cause. From this war, a million bin Ladens will bloom.

Counterpoint No It Won't No it won't. It just won't. None of that will happen. You're getting worked up over nothing. Everything is going to be fine. So just relax, okay? You're really overreacting. "This war will not put an end to anti-Americanism; it will fan the flames of hatred even higher"? It won't. "It will harden the resolve of Arab states to drive out all Western (i.e. U.S.) influence"? Not really. "A war against Iraq is not only morally wrong, it will be an unmitigated disaster"? Sorry, no, I disagree.
