"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Is there a name for when games sort of define their genre (or sub-genre) with a short three word phrase on the cover or in the advertising? The most prominent example i can think of is how Metal Gear defines itself as Tactical Espionage Action. Anyways, i love that shit.

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

About that tunnel Doug Ford wants to bore. Guess who owns a tunnel boring company? Elon Musk. That's who. So if you wondered where that hair brained idea that will help no one came from? Just watch who gets that contract. Will he care if we don't like it? No. It's OUR money he's giving to Elon.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

does anyone remember "Stump The Yoo?" a page about asking John Yoo questions about the limits of presidential power? Infeel like in the Trump era it's once again relevant. I only remember, 'Is it legal for the president order the defendant's arms be removed and the defendant be beaten with them?'

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

If Biden said that California was voting until a week and half ago, the New York Times would publish 14 stories on tomorrows front page followed by 88 op-eds and another 300 stories this week about his mental acuity. Peter Baker would rush to the WH to give Biden a proctology just for kicks

Just told a heartbreaking story of a foster parent who took in a 16 year old girl whose parents got taken away. The ice agents gave her the choice of going with her parents or going into foster care. Her parents begged her to stay for her safety. And they said goodbye to her.

got beaten at TM Ares Expedition by kid the eld. We did the starter cards variant and their opening play was the card that gives production of 1 card. Over time, they built production of a second card. In Ares Expedition, you end up doing the production phase quite a bit, so they destroyed me.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

so like the "rural trump voters still deserve mail service" thing goes hand in hand with "don't misgender people even if they're assholes" and "the unhoused guy who street harassed you still deserves housing" and "your cousin who stole 5k from his parents still deserves affordable psych meds" etc

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown
