Once rapidly growing commercial marvels, casual dining chains — sit-down restaurants where middle-class families can walk in without a reservation, order from another human and share a meal — have been in decline for most of the 21st century.
Where Will We Eat When the Middle-Class Restaurant Is Gone?
The boom in American sit-down chains has come and gone. What replaced them isn’t so great for human connection.

à propos of nothing I saw no in-person boots-on-ground counter-demonstrators in Pasadena this weekend. Perhaps three or four cars drove by with some sort of pro-Trump sign. One car drove by and I thought the guy sort of squeaked/croaked “faggot” at me but he said it again and it was “MAGA” kind of

This is more of a PR statement tbh.
Nintendo will of course have accounted for as much as possible prior to announcing the price.
What they (and no one else) expected was a significantly higher 46% tariff. That's what is leading to the pricing re-assessment at this point.

Nintendo says US tariffs weren't factored into the $450 price tag of the Switch 2

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are people and someone can be held liable for destroying them, a decision that reproductive rights advocates say could imperil in vitro fertilization (IVF) and affect the hundreds of thousands of patients who depend on treatments like it each year.

The U.S. vetoed a resolution that called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and the release of all hostages in a U.N. Security Council vote Tuesday. The U.S. has circulated its own draft resolution seeking a six-week pause in fighting and the phased release of hostages.

Those wanting to leave the ECHR say our own govt and domestic law would protect us.
2 things:
1) the ECHR was set up to protect citizens from human rights abuses by THEIR OWN govts
2) our govt has already removed our FoM rights and limited our rights to strike, protest and vote.

Think of all the real emergencies we face: climate, ecosystems, food systems, the NHS, housing, school buildings, social care, child poverty .... None of them is being addressed by this government. Yet it's proposing emergency legislation to permit a cruel and pointless policy.
