I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

Also had a good balance between sim and arcade. There were consequences for flying like a dumbass, but you didnt need a pilots license to get around.

And not just the flying parts but the dynamic career mode with promotions, medals, and eventually being able to give your fighter custom drip.

yeah there's a fundamental disconnect between what guys like alex believe and what "the left" believes in that these guys believe in fictional scenarios and you can't disprove them by pointing out that they're fictional.

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either

- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks

- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life

literally the only 2 options

400 counter protestors vs 15 fascists in Bristol

And yet it is the latter who are painted as expressing the "legitimate grievances" of "the people" by the mainstream media and politicians

This leads to emboldening and mainstreaming and it is a top down effect

And why, you ask: Well, dear Watson, it's because the history of economy does not provide any irrefutable evidence to support the bold and sweeping assertions of mainstream economics; in fact it contradicts most of it.

Wool trade in 15th century Flanders is easily one of the most crucial topics in economic history. But I've noted The Economist's rabid hatred of economic history before - it is indeed a field of science feared and loathed by almost all acolytes of the modern mainstream economics cult.

I don't trust anyone who says they oppose Trump and support Israel because the apartheid state is the same kind of racist far right government that Trump is.

So you're okay with fascism as long as it kills people you personally don't like? Is that it?

This is genuinely western liberalism summed up in a 30 second video. Incredible. Put it in an art gallery.

im old enough to remember that ucla is where they let pro-israeli counterprotestors attack student activists with blunt instruments and explosives. and now ucla is being told to pay a billion for antisemitically not doing enough to crack down on those student activists

Yeah and case in point, the base of this statue is the best part. Got his name and all the Super Bowls he won.

That Ali line fits better with Zohran's strategy. The one that describes Cuomo's is that he tried rope a dope but is too slow and just gets his head caved in.

It's odd to me that Zohran's campaign is always presented as an example "the left" needs to learn from, rather than an expression of the lessons the left has learned.

investing world historical amounts of capital into something that generates reactions that vary between "this is an insult to humanity" to "huh, neat i guess?"

definitely worth it!!
