Stagnation

I missed it, who was it? And was he successful?

And none of that is a good thing.
Taiwan is a Chinese territory.
America didn't "annex" the Confederacy during the civil war.

Sorry, I meant my reply to what that person said. I did that weird. I included a screenshot of their reply, and then my reply to the screenshot in a link.

I just woke up but this sounds right, right? lol bsky.app/profile/stag...

That's great, but sending weapons to Taiwan does nothing but antagonize China.
The Taiwanese government is a rebellion government propped up by the US.
The main reason we support them now is TSMC, and because our government insists China is our enemy because we can't accept any successful communism.

I replied to her: bsky.app/profile/stag...

It's contradictory (and dangerous) to support a One China policy while simultaneously giving military armament support to Taiwan to prolong a war over "One China".

The Russia-Ukraine war is not analogous to China-Taiwan.

Please rethink this one.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

This is a very garbage position of hers, but she's otherwise golden. I feel like her position could change.

I am not a mature person. 🧃

Of course. Basically, the NYPD had a huge opportunity to at least patch their reputation with the snowball fight.

They decided to cry about it.

Establishment Dems, cop unions, and the usual anti-left suspects piled on with blatant lies, and Mamdani wiped all that with a huge win versus Trump.

@strasz.bsky.social I may or may not have some "funny" VRChat groups. Should I start deleting them? 😅

My friend got banned for having a group called "I Love Feet" on #VRChat with the image included.

Kinda funny, but I mean come on, just delete the group, give them a warning/reason, and don't ruin their weekend.

This is such a good article.
Ken Klippenstein should be everyone's first source for investigative journalism.

Remember this garbage?

Pointing out the fact that you can't make your own argument is not a concession. You need to stop browbeating one of the most effective LOCAL left-wing politicians in office and start focusing on party leadership who's accomplishing nothing.

Sure bud. Sure.

Yes, and Trump responds with thousands more ICE agents in the city, hundreds or thousands more arrested, and centrist/establishment Democrats with new ammo for fundraising emails.

That's what this is about huh? Also stop using AI to reply to me, weirdo.

Anarchist bot mad at Mamdani for meeting with Trump, obviously using an LLM AI model.

Oh you're an AI user lmao. My bad. Put me on your Do Not Reply list.

The moment you realize you've been arguing with an AI.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani ‘commends’ anti-ICE protesters who took over hotel lobby Protesters staged a demonstration in the lobby of a Hilton hotel on Tuesday, following claims that ICE agents were being housed at the location.

"Authoritarian leaders don’t respond to goodwill."
Okay, I gave you an example of how he did.

"They respond to pressure, exposure, and organized resistance."
Okay cool, he did that as well, and nobody was released. What's next?

Cool, so what should Mamdani have done?
And, what is your precedent that your suggestion would've worked, specifically on this president and administration?

Again, thank you so much for expressing how Mamdani should've just shown up with a baseball bat and gone to town.

Instead of securing the release of one unlawfully-detained individual, he should've went home empty-handed by demanding the release of everyone in ICE custody instead.

Thank you for your contribution from the anarchist/tankie delegation.

Cool, thanks fed.

"And we will scold them very badly, and write strongly-worded donor emails about it."

Bittersweet memories.
Also it's been 6 years since the pandemic really kicked off in the US.

If I have to feel old, so do you.

I don't believe in labels but my friends do

Does anyone know if there's a short-term volunteer driver spreadsheet anyone is putting together that we can blow up?

The famous "definition of insanity" quote is not an Einstein quote.

It's not even a good quote.
