Every time I reread this my soul dies a little more
Screenshot from a news article. Social media is simply a more appealing news source for Khanal, who says he’s turned off by the biases and political leanings of traditional news outlets. News influencers, on the other hand, are “actually connected to the people they’re getting their news for.” Khanal’s behavior is not unusual.

As truly hilarious as the headline is next to the Onion classic, the point of the article wasn't that it's impossible for the US as a whole to prevent, it's that the US is so awash in guns that no individual state or corporation can stop it.
A screenshot from a New York Times article. It reads: "But a piecemeal network of looser regulations nationwide enabled a lone gunman with no criminal history to drive undetected across several states on his way to the city. “It feels impossible to stop something like this,” Ms. Blair said. The attack underscores the limits that even a dense web of gun safety laws and private security precautions can have in a country flooded with inexpensive weapons. Beginning last week, the gunman, Shane Devon Tamura, 27, who lived in Nevada, drove through several states, including Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa and New Jersey, before arriving in Midtown Manhattan, his BMW filled with ammunition."

This is a wild argument. The multitrillion dollar corporation couldn't possibly create games people want to play without ruthless staff cuts every couple of years.
A screenshot from the article containing a snippet of an all-staff email from Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. It reads: "I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before. Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger. The success we’re seeing currently is based on tough decisions we’ve made previously."

Nah, tracked down the original survey (bottom of the page here, q 41)

www.cbsnews.com/news/deporta...

37% of people believe that the Trump admin should be able to just eject people out of the country with no court hearing or any legal process at all.
A screenshot from a CBS News/YouGov survey, asking "If the Trump administration wants to deport someone rom the U.S. who is not a U.S. citizen, what should happen to that person next? That person should..." 63% of respondents said "First get a U.S. court hearing or other U.S. legal process, beore they can be deported" 37% said "Be deported, without getting a U.S. court hearing or legal process frst"

Right here.

A lot of stuff is going on right now and all of it deserves to be covered.
