I'm startled by how quickly the regime fell. It really shows how dependent it was on the support of Iran and Russia. Now it's time for the EU and USA to put pressure on the new regime to hold democratic elections. If necessary I think they should remove Hayat Tahrir al-Sham from their lists of terrorist organizations - that seems to be mostly based on their historical ties to al Qaeda anyway, and not their actual actions.

Fascinating. Probably not a sign of a healthy society that an assassination of anyone gets this kind of reaction.

I'm trying to think of any hypothetical CEO assassination in the EU that would create similar reactions here. Maybe the CEO of Nestlé.

The president probably shouldn't have the ability to pardon anyone. I understand why he does this, and it's much less bad than when Trump pardoned his ghouls, or when Ford pardoned Nixon.

As the kids would say; sus.

(The kids probably don't say that any more. They said it 4 years ago, and I'm getting old.)

So yeah, The Onion bought Infowars, apparently.

X has been contacted for comment.

Do they still auto-reply with the poop emoji? Yeah, fuck Twitter.

Can we look into adding Bluesky and Mastodon integration on Readup, so we can share our posts there instead of on Twitter?

Yeah, as a software developer who frequently has to understand old code, this is relatable.

I'm somewhat excited about new battery technologies. But they probably won't be the technological revolution that lithium-ion batteries were, unless they can make them light enough to be used in aircraft.

I don't believe in the antichrist, but I read a long and thorough article a few years back which explained how Trump ticks basically all the boxes for the antichrist as described in the Book of Revelation.

Honestly; I'm a bit worried.

The project partners are currently scouting for locations to build ground-based receiving antennas that would collect the energy beamed down in the form of high-frequency radio waves and convert it into electricity to be fed into the power grid.

So many of my cities in SimCity 2000 have gone up in flames thanks to these power plants!

That aside, this does sound promising.

He's not exactly wrong. In most countries it would be considered strange for a publication to openly endorse a political candidate. But in this particular case, we know one of the candidates (Trump) considers the free press an enemy, and has lately been using fascist rhetoric about the enemy within. Every newspaper should endorse the candidate who doesn't want to shut them down and imprison them! But as Bezos says, endorsements probably don't do much to actually swing elections, so it's probably wiser for him to keep his head down in case of fascist victory.

Shame on Fox News. It's good to see some journalists are actually doing their job and doing some actual investigation.

I played through the game, and I liked it. From a small studio, I think they really delivered. And all the wacky conspiracy theories are of course nonsense.

It's weird that so many people spend so much time on something so insignificant. If they don't like the look of a game, play one of the literally thousands of other games released every year! I'm sure there's something out there for them. No need to ruin the fun for others.
