This administration is really trying to outdo you for news stories 😭
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

Instead, the military service will classify them as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines, which take effect next month. https://wapo.st/4p2HnKY

I'm not sure how I feel about the new app icon... I think I liked the more simplistic version better

Goodbye EU Worlds
#G2 loses 1-3 VS #TES :(

#GEN knocks out #HLE, not an unexpected result...
Still sad to see Peanut go though:(

This first #worlds #knockouts series is insane so far, almost a 1 hour game 2 between #GEN and #HLE...
LCK games are a different breed

I always thought he was so instructive and well spoken. He could convey his thoughts in a way no one else really could, which made chess feel "easy" as I was watching him play. I will miss him and his content.
Nothing but love to him and his family, may he rest in peace.
Goodbye, Danya ♥️
GM Daniel Naroditsky passed away. He was a talented chess player, commentator, and educator. FIDE extends its deepest condolences to Daniel’s family and loved ones.

#leagueoflegends #worlds standings and draft after today.

Absolute horror draft for EU fans, teamkilling again in losers bracket and #G2 vs #BLG...
NA got lucky with #FLY vs #TSW and #VKS vs #PSG.

Tomorrow they'll play the 2-0 games, which are BO3's.

Tomorrow's draft is so sad for EU:(
FNC autoloss and we're teamkilling with MKOI vs G2...

The fact that this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado is Venezuelan is the cherry on top:)

Great to see NYT report on it like this.

This government shutdown threatens the health coverage for over 24 million Americans enrolled in the ACA (Obamacare).
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“It is easy to lose sight of the real stakes” in this government shutdown, the editorial board writes. “President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance, and Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.”

Surely Mr. #tedcruz didn't mean to say it like that, did he 🤔

I really hope these next 4 tumultuous years ahead make this bond even stronger and strengthen EU ties in general.
In a shifting world, where threats take on many forms, it is good to hold onto a few certainties.

The EU-NATO partnership is a cornerstone of our security.

Equally strong is my friendship with Mark Rutte.

Trump's FTC nominee just makes me sad.
Lina Khan did so well to stop monopolies/mergers that hurt worker power. Andrew Ferguson (nominee) will screw over the gains made for Antitrust laws since he vowed to "reverse Lina Khan's anti-business agenda".

Andrew Ferguson, the F.T.C.’s Next, More Deal-Friendly Chair
Andrew Ferguson is expected to go easier on mergers than the agency’s current chief, Lina Khan. But he could take a similarly tough approach to policing Big Tech.

UPHOLDING NORMS is like engaging in CONSENTUAL SEX. BOTH SIDES need to do it! THERE IS CONSENTUAL SEX WITH ONLY ONE PERSON CONSENTING, and THERE IS NO UPHOLDING NORMS IF ONLY ONE SIDE DOES IT.

The ONLY time a MAGAt ever considers morality is when he's analyzing a Democrat's behavior.

"The study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in the meninges, and the skull’s bone marrow for up to four years after infection. This persistent presence of the spike protein could trigger chronic inflammation in affected individuals and increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases."
