Pavel Durov was arrested in August 2024 in France for, among other things, providing encrypted services to criminals

IIRC this had way more to do with the Palestine Resistance network using Telegram than with criminals

and how he exposed himself a second time to shoot the bomb on the tank to detonate it.

I'm not sure if I saw this one - got a link?

This is great agitprop.

True, but it's also not doing the "AI can't draw hands" notion any favours che-laugh

They then offer links to the products [at] the factory's store.

This is the most important bit - ways that western consumers can buy directly from their factories and sidestep the middlemen.

One such company is Lululemon - BC's flagship designer fashion company, owned by the most insufferable right-wing reactionary dickhead propagandist in the entire province Chip Wilson, who also happens to own the most expensive mansion in all of British Columbia (not an American company of course so no tariffs, but still hits on your labour theory of value comment of course)

Here's his charming sign he put up in front of his mansion during the last election:

He's also a major backer of right-wing media/propaganda to the tune of millions of dollars.

Every now and then I get the urge to start a new Fallout campaign until the moment I remember how many hours of my life I need to spend downloading, unpacking, installing and organising mods just make it barely playable.

What a complete waste of my life seeing that piece of shit fucking movie. What the fuck were they thinking.

The film did not have a single redeeming quality. Boring ass, shit ass, bullshit film. My only regret was not sleeping through more of it.

Also WHY DO AMERICANS USE FAKE BRITISH ACCENTS WHENEVER A MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN ANY COUNTRY OTHER THAN USA? WHHYY? FUCKING WHYYY. THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN ROMANIA YOU IDIOTS WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE BRITISH FOR NO GOD DAMNED REASON agony-consuming

Edit: Germany? Fuck whatever, some country which notably does not have a British accent.

I think this article might have been a tad too optimistic about the prospects of Nazism/Fascism in Ukraine and the West being defeated, but I thought it was a good read nevertheless. Doesn't hurt to have the occasional dose of optimism.

I also think he gives Nick Fuentes a little bit too much credit, for he is no more than a snivelling dweeb.

More and more people are saying this.

NGL these are some pretty astounding stats, especially considering how car-brained most of Canada is. Even so, our transit usage (in major cities) completely eclipses the yanks (I have not independently verified these stats but the user seems knowledgeable enough that I did not bother).

Taken from a reddit-logo thread from /r/fuckcars on the topic of obesity rates between different states/provinces (the consensus was that while there are other factors at play such as diet, car-dependency seems to be the overall defining factor for obesity rates).

Ok so I've only ever played this for like one day, and I cannot seem to play for more than two hours without absolutely tanking my economy.

I'm playing as Cuba, and obviously my goal is to liberate the Cuban people from the tyranny of the landowners and Catholic church and eventually establish communism.

I've watched a couple of "complete beginner" videos on the topic, but there's almost twenty "complete beginner" videos in this series and they're all like 40 minutes long lol. This game is insanely complicated.

I've played a lot of Tropico so I am not unfamiliar with "nation building" games, but this is of course way more complex. It only dawned on me recently that the reason that the plantations that I started with weren't making me any money because they're owned by the fucking ruling class and not the state.

So, any pointers? Early on in the game what should I be focusing on? What should I build, research, etc? I've established that I need to first start a construction industry (Cuba starts with none) and build some plantations in order to get some money flowing in, but after that I'm just kind of lost. Plus the Spanish empire seems to immediately gift me Puerto Rico for reasons unknown and it's a completely impoverished backwards starving hell hole, so then I have to deal with that hot mess too.

Thanks in advance Hexbears.

What the fuck is this?

This is the second night in a row that I find myself searching online to try to figure out how to play the tutorial.

I have never before for any other games had to search up how to actually do the tutorial.

I am flummoxed.

After the first few steps it doesn't tell me anything and I'm just supposed to know how to expel the armed forces from my government?

This very much feels like "draw the rest of the fucking owl"

I was out Christmas shopping today and the woman at the till noticed my keffiyeh, came over to me and told me about their watermelon slice soap where the proceeds go to supporting mental health for Gaza's kids.

Of course I'm not normally someone to shill for companies but I thought this was a very nice gesture and very different than most bloodthirsty corporations that unapologetically support the Genocidal Entity.

Honestly I don't know the fine details or exactly what projects/groups it goes to, but if you're out Christmas shopping (last minute like I am) maybe mozy on down to Lush.

You can see how, before we even get to the arguments, just the attitude on display here is likely to provoke irritation, because it is condescending and smug. When Yglesias writes of the “socialist niece who posts obsessively about Genocide Joe,” he is not taking seriously the possibility that this woman could be correct: that she has been persuaded by the International Court of Justice filings showing evidence that Israel is engaged in genocide and posts “obsessively” because she sees genocide as morally urgent. Instead, there is an implication that this person is somehow mentally unwell. Indeed, Yglesias’s reaction to seeing a poem about the Gaza genocide is that it shows the “increasingly porous boundaries between mental illness and leftwing politics.” Setting aside the question of whether Yglesias is persuaded by the ICJ case against Israel, this is the attitude of an asshole.

We should show the same level of respect for the opinions of Matt Yglesias and his ilk that he shows for the “socialist niece who posts obsessively about Genocide Joe,” that is to say, none at all.
