Unpopular opinion: Fantasy sports are ruining real sportsmanship.

Now it’s ruining the careers of players themselves, since some can’t resist the urge to gamble, apparently.

If “#AI is shorthand for shitty”, it turns out that management is realizing that “shitty is good enough”, quality is irrelevant, and the costs will be for their successor to bear: https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/understanding-the-real-threat-generative

Lemkin was a Jewish lawyer who coined the term "genocide" because of the lack of response to what the Ottomans did to Armenians, and who set the definition used in the Nuremberg trials after the WWII.

Imagine losing your most precious colonial territory because the subjects object to animal fat used in the cartridges of their army-issued rifle.

@VikingChieftain @rightardia

I’m not saying you’re wrong.

I don’t have evidence that governments can deal with corporations on much of anything besides a few dominant industries (see: oil & gas, arms manufacturers, agricultural resources).

If they could coordinate on pharmaceuticals, they would have by now.

“Regulatory capture” is real AF.

Don’t expect U.S. institutions to unfuck themselves soon.

The EU might be able to advance this subject, like they did with privacy, and then it will take a state-by-state effort stateside, assuming we still have a Republic.

Yes, 147 congressional representatives voted against certification of the 2020 election hours after domestic terrorists interrupted them.

Republicans would rather burn down the Republic than tolerate a pluralistic democracy.

Supporting a Face-Eating Leopard is what the nihilistic shameless will do.

They are pot-committed and a performance artist with a felony conviction persuades them to believe they are right, it’s the system that lacks virtue.

All #JerrySeinfeld had to do was not say anything.

And he just could. not. resist.

You steal one guy’s idea to make a show about nothing and your inability to be a character actor and live long enough to project all your insecurities.

I could go my whole life without seeing the video of a dead momma cat with live babies crawling around her next to train tracks fed to me by the fucking YouTube algorithm. I don't give a fuck that the person takes the cats in, which is what the title claims. (Honestly, who sees such a scene and whips out their phone?)

I find it difficult to believe that Alito and Thomas don’t have some Pelican Brief-like #kompromat.

The #AntiNormie usually don’t maintain operational security that well due to their warped moral sense of #virtue.

I haven't watched many (new) movies since about 2011?, so what's the "The Matrix" of the 00s and the 10s that The Matrix is to the 90s

Obviously this is a real, quantifiable thing with a single answer

@Miniver
Zionism before the Holocaust was an unpopular fringe idea amongst the diaspora.

Mein Kampf contains praise for the 19th century policies carried out by the American government against its Black and indigenous people.

The United States was the inspiration for the Nazi’s fascist policy against The Others™.

doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme.
