Greece had been effed since the austerity economics were placed on them due to the great big financial crisis where boys were declared to be too big to fail. Remember only regular working people are allowed to fail.
A ridiculous thing to say about the college protests. Last I checked the US hasn't been spending US tax dollars to Sudanese paramilitaries. Unlike the regular spending of our tax dollars aiding Israel with weapons and constantly looking away at their actions going back decades. Your statement certainly doesn't pretend to care about the horrific slaughter of these children in darfur either.
How the internet created ever more hucksters. Went from door-to-door to screen-to-screen salespeople. Topping things off, if they're growing up okay being influenced by a bot, well aren't we all screwed.
I call BS. Modi's fundamentalist right wing government is speeding away from secularism towards religious nationalism. India deports Myanmar refugees who fled 2021 coup
Sure, pasteurization works. But then there's the forest...
A multi-state outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reportedon March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses were found in cattle. CDC confirmed one human HPAI A(H5N1) infection that had exposure to dairy cattle in Texas that were presumed to be infected with the virus. While thought to be rare, this exposure to HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu virus is the first instance of likely mammal to human transmission.
Fuck Bill Maher, dude is a wealthy, mediocre entertainer who eats real well pretending to be an everyman. Another disconnected wealthy old dude.
He said that when he “rides around” town — he lives in Beverly Hills — he doesn’t see a country that’s “falling apart.”
“A lot of people are just living their best lives. And they’re not all f—ing rich. It’s not all the top 20%,” he said.
"Bill Maher makes a staggering amount of money for a guy who hosts a weekly talk show", $10 million a year.
"...even as economists and policymakers say the U.S. economy has all but achieved a soft landing after two years of record inflation."
disconnected much?
Finally, I remember the Ajit Pai era all too well when the FCC was auditioning for lucrative future revolving door private gigs. Rather than looking out for consumers.
No president should have troubling expansive surveillance powers over the people.
Or guardian jus telling us wass happening? Do you long to be the opposite side of the same coin?

This is frightening, dystopian stuff, and i don't understand how police and govt allow for this.
"Known as the Hate Crime Working Group and formed in 2019, it is composed of nearly two dozen Crown prosecutors, some of whose public comments show pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian bias.
The committee’s chair has said she is “committed” to the state of Israel, while another member described a pro-Palestinian activist as a “terrorist” and collaborated with a group of lawyers that aggressively defend Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has killed 38,000 Palestinians.
In one case from 2021, involving a protest in front of the Israeli consulate of Toronto, the Hate Crime Working Group’s prosecutors had greater access to the consulate’s staff than the police. ... The Hate Crime Working Group is shrouded in secrecy. In the Crown Prosecution Manual published by the Attorney General’s office to explain the criminal process, there is no mention of its existence. ... A direct line to Israeli consulate
Even before the recent uptick of public mobilization opposing Israel’s treatment of Palestinian, the Hate Crime Working Group has intervened in cases of solidarity activism. In 2021, David Mivasair, a rabbi and member of Independent Jewish Voices, was charged with mischief for pouring red paint on the steps of the Israeli consulate in Toronto.
But its treatment by the Crown was highly unusual. Two high ranking prosecutors—Rochelle Direnfield and Kim Motyl, another member at the time of the Hate Crime Working Group—were assigned to the case and it was dragged out for many months."
