    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Is there a reason Northern Ireland is missing from that map? Do they not get to vote in this election?

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Normally I'd question linking to the Daily Mail, but it was worth it to see them admit this is "bizarre" even by their standards.

    The dangers of religious privilege

    The most remarkable thing about this is that he actually admitted it and resigned. Does this count as a confession for the purposes of having him convicted and locked up in one of those prisons where the other inmates repay the favor?

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    If the New Switch, or whatever, is going to be backward compatible, we'll probably see another year or two of titles that support both. Maybe not from Nintendo themselves but from somebody. Expect to see "Nindies" hang on even longer unless Nintendo cuts off certification. This is the single...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    What Californians and other solid-blue-staters should do is vote for the most far-left candidates they can in the primaries. It's too late for that advice to be useful, mind you. Oh, and Ohio is officially a red state at this point as far as I'm concerned. There's an election for Senate or...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Currently there is a rule that no living person can be on currency. I don't know how easy that would be to repeal, but there must be some kind of hierarchy to the system. It'd be kind of silly to pass a law that says you can't pass certain kinds of laws, because you can just easily write that...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    There's so much to unpack here. Let's start with the Trump part. Not only is that description the exact polar opposite of everything Trump is and has ever been, most of it seems to have stemmed entirely from the author's own head. In all Trump's years of lying about his accomplishments, I don't...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    I still think he should have forfeited his right to even have a podcast anymore, freedom of the press be damned, but being forced to sell off his studio and equipment will do a lot to kill his platform. Hopefully he also has to sell his home and ends up freezing to death under a bridge somewhere.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I haven't been following the Boeing scandal too closely, but hadn't the higher-ups there been trying to systematically cover up the problems with their planes? It'd be sadly ironic if it turned out what they were trying to stop us from finding out was that it was never their fault in the first...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I don't know if there's ever been a point in history where bananas haven't been essentially edible blood diamonds. Certainly not in my or my parents' lifetimes.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I'm just about to the point where I'd rather get my news from randos on social media than any official "journalism" organization if this is the kind of bullshit they're going to let go to print.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Which, unless you use Linux, probably means buying a copy of Visual Studio or something.

    Mr. Beast would probably legit be a better president than any Republican who's held that office in my lifetime, and certainly any that would run in the foreseeable future.

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    I don't think anyone's going to dispute that. Sonic X's 4kids dub is how we ended up with Mike Pollock, among other things.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Welp, might as well reciprocate. Like we needed an excuse at any point in the last ten years.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    I must not be understanding this properly. Because if that's the new way we're classifying things, mammals are birds, and by extension also dinosaurs, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. Which would mean whales really are fish after all!

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    You've basically summed up my relationship with all of YouTube in a nutshell. It's led to an awkward situation where I end up just blindly believing the opposite of whatever any video that looks like clickbait is trying to claim—which, if I'm honest with myself, is no less of an intellectually...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Hey while we're on the subject, what exactly was the basis for switching from "birds evolved from dinosaurs" to "birds literally ARE dinosaurs" anyway?

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Criminy, lady. 2014 Tumblr called; they think you're being a bit too much.
