demonstrators face violent crackdowns by Israeli police — while opposition lawmakers are still nowhere to be seen.

As an American that feels all too relatable

You have to understand how awful our public transportation systems are and how close to broke like 75% of us already were

a) This headline forgets W losing Afghanistan

b) Fuck Nixon, but Eisenhower deserves the blame for Vietnam (admittedly one of the reasons he did that was because he thought it would give him political cover to shut McCarthyism down, but still)

Doing nothing to stop it, cheering on Universities and police that beat and punished protesters, refusing to let Ruwa Romman or anyone else anti-genocide speak at their convention, etc.

Their policy was bad and they were assholes about it at every opportunity. It's honestly amazing she got as many votes as she did.

Me neither, I feel like all the publications talking about how it's so popular are gaslighting me or being taken by some bullshit bottled streaming numbers

Did it? I mean, it may have bought President Pedo the couple of months he needed to win an election against a historically awful opponent, but given his 32% approval rating and being stuck in a war that was supposed to distract from the detention camps that were supposed to be a distraction from the tariffs that were supposed to be a distraction from DOGE which was supposed to be a distraction from the pedophilia, I think it's fair to say that buying a mouthpiece isn't a durable solution to the problem of being objectively stupid

Doesn't seem to be what this article says

To some readers, even choosing Outlook as a part of a spacecraft’s communications portfolio would seem to be an anomaly. However, it is a standard part of the "Commercial Off-The-Shelf" (COTS) software astronauts use for their day-to-day operations.

To be clear, the spacecraft and primary flight systems will run on specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained software. COTS just complements this with a friendly layer, like Windows and Outlook, so astronauts can check schedules, indulge in personal communications, and so on, in a familiar way.

Sounds like Microsoft products are running on the same hardware as critical systems are

 

OpenAI has struck a deal to acquire TBPN, a technology-focused talk show popular in Silicon Valley, making an unexpected move into broadcasting after pledging to abandon "side quests" and focus on its core business.

The ChatGPT maker had purchased the 11-person company in a "low hundreds of millions of dollars" deal, according to a person with knowledge of the terms.

One of the most infuriating aspects of western imperialism and corruption is how douchebag leaders in non-western countries can point at it and say "See? This is why you need the kind of strong ruler who is willing to massacre unarmed protesters."

This sounds like a metaphor for American politics

 

The Senate approved a deal early Friday to reopen almost all of the Department of Homeland Security, exempting funding for immigration enforcement under ICE and Customs and Border Protection.

...

Under this deal, which still needs to pass the House and be signed by President Donald Trump, Democrats don’t get the immigration enforcement changes they demanded and Republicans don’t get additional immigration enforcement funding.
