I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it is to deprive that withered old cunt of your money. Waterstones, Argos, Boots - it is so easy to get whatever you need, and it feels kinda fun, like taking a holiday in 90s Britain
Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

You know. The owners of discord would most definitely changed their mind if 'their' info was leaked by third party companies. A little extortion. You know, a little, taste of your own meds. If they planned to go through with this. Expose the owners stuff they don't want exposed.

99.9% of cases like this, the writers asked all these questions and have the answer, but the story doesn't need to provide them. Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean it's a "mistake."
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Again, in actual democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.
There must be a dozen fireable offenses listed in this piece:
*Noem firing civil servants without cause
*Her boyfriend using govt resources to boost her profile, punishing officials who would not give him a gun
*Massive waste on ads, planes, delayed contracts, pushing favored firms

There has never been a better argument for destroying capitalism than "if we can't make money off vaccines, then you don't get vaccines."
Hear me out: Publicly-funded vaccine research and everyone gets the vaccines for free.

After so many very dumb lies from federal law enforcement, there's now real concern that mistrust could bleed over into the relationship between local police & local news, who have traditionally been responsible for uncritically presenting police statements to the public.

The only people facing consequences for their ties to Jeffrey Epstein are Europeans.
Ex-PM Thorbjørn Jagland’s properties were searched as his immunity was lifted over links to the late disgraced financier, amid wider Norwegian fallout over Epstein.

The SAVE America Act is blatantly anti-Democratic. I voted NO – for the generations that have come before and the generations that will come after, like my 14 year-old-daughter – we cannot make it harder to vote.

Supporting indies is literally our only way out of this y'all. Support small games by small teams just doing their best.

When the money a video game made stopped going to the devs and instead started going to shareholders was the moment games stopped being about art/play and started being about making money.
The soulless nature is clear.

The New York Times editorial purpose, at this point, seems to be mostly manufacturing consent for attacks on marginalized groups. Including being whiny babies in the replies of trans people pointing out their garbage which they so superciliously claim to be journalism.
The Times's coverage of Feb. 3 and 4 accurately reported the public statements of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association. Our reporting also accurately contextualized the shift from both of these organizations regarding gender-related surgical procedures.
