It reminds me about how Zionists at a local college strongarmed the school to serve “Israeli salad” with a giant flag on it at every mealhall and students just don’t eat it and the school just has to throw it in the garbage all the time.

There’s plenty of sticks, like anything that supports Google TV, where you can use piracy software.

Even if it’s only a half-assed attempt at a boycott, it is a positive development as everyone is too cowardly to be the first ones.

What’s this purple cat nonsense?

Tbf, the Democrats had until June 24th to change their candidate, in theory it’s already over. But we all know how these things are… Mamdani was lucky that polls actually seriously underestimated his support, with reports of many “shy Mamdani voters” skewing results.

I think it’s more likely they’re just going to go all in on supporting Adam’s independent run as the “enlightened centrist”.

It’s clear Israel is deadset on the war. Iran might as well get on with it.

During the beginning of the COVID pandemic the USDA calculated what it would cost to give every American citizen with food insecurity a full nutritious diet, it came out to $190 billion a year if utilizing the current SNAP infrastructure or $100 billion if organized and distributed via US National Guard at the state level.

PewDiePie (especially at the beginning) started the trend of screaming a lot in his videos, and then kids channels did it to get more engagement and now it’s just become a staple on all of YouTube, look at all content creators and they’re basically always shouting at the top of their lungs.

Several YouTubers like HuskyStarcraft and Jacksepticeye hurt their vocal cords and had to moderate their speaking and lost a ton of viewers, with the former straight up deleting his channel because people seem to not want to watch them without the screaming.

I’ve heard the theory that Trump 45 was mostly Ivanka and Jared Kushner while Mitch McConnell playing as the attempted puppet master (and in many cases succeeding). But now (for various reasons) they’re out of the picture, I think Trump 47, literally has no true plan nor ideology, he just wants to do whatever allows him to score victories.

He’s a “conservative” only by virtue of being both a billionaire and a sexist bigot, but he isn’t ideologically invested. He just wants to feed his legendary ego, that’s it.

That’s the ironic part, ByteDance was developing a clone of Vine as they saw that was the future, they had developed a killer algorithm and bought another Vine clone Music.ly for cheap to rebrand as Douyin (or TikTok internationally).

Mind you, Vine made money, it’s just that Twitter refused to pay content creators, they saw people posted for free on Twitter and were looking for ways to convince people to make profit without paying. On numerous instances, groups of creators demanded to be compensated on Vine and even Periscope, or they’ll leave and Twitter told them to go fuck themselves.

Reminds me of how they shut down the incredibly successful Vine (short form video) because they figured they’d make more money with Periscope (very long form video). Despite literally nobody wanting it.

These tech bros live in a deluded bubble with no understanding on what average people want.

 

Everything about the “official narrative” smells fishy.

 

Against all odds, the socdems beat the liberals and reduced a surging far-right to an embarrassing third place. French fascists are stomping on their berets and cartoonishly snapping baguettes in half.

 

The US and the West’s in general’s economy has been reliant on low cost manufacturing in the PRC for over 50 years and now Janet Yellen is conveniently instructing them not to “dump cheap products into the market, driving down prices.” Of course the Middle Kingdom have no reason nor incentive and the West’s vague threats fall on deaf ears.

But it’s obvious whatever “truce framework” the US pretended to agree to last month was a load of steaming shit.

 

Occupied Palestine (aka “Israel”) disables GPS and blackout IDF soldiers’ leave among credible threat that Iran might attack the terrorist state.
