Fun fact: Shifa hospital had tunnels under it because Israel built them when they occupied Gaza.

Shapiro would have been a bad and divisive choice. Walsh was the best of the bunch and I'm absolutely stunned that she picked him.

USA gotta export its worse ideas abroad, after all. For-profit churches, flat earth, antivaxx

More like someone in Europe realizing that they could import something from America and it'd catch on like an invasive plant species with no local ecological resistance.

I mean, if his brain wasn't oozing out of his ears they wouldn't have tried.

Obama picked him as VP and then organized the takedown of Bernie in 2020. Obama is his fairy godfather.

Good essay. I don't know if you remember after Obama won in 2008 a bunch of democratic party apparatchiks came up with this idea of "the coalition of the ascendant" and that they pretty much had the government locked in for a generation, due to support that would never waver for them amongst immigrants, yuppies, tech bros, etc. They didn't need the working class anymore and the Republicans would be the minority party for many years.

Two years later the democrats were wiped out in the midterms.

Vast majority of creators make pennies from youtube ads. They make their money from patreon and sponsorship, neither of which are incompatible with peertube.

The biggest problem vis-a-vis youtube is that people won't find you if you are not on it and blessed by the algorithm. Youtube is a monopoly because of metcalfe's law.

Some people like the antics of Bozo the Clown. I enjoy the antics of Stammering Elon.

The Dutch are about the least afraid-of-sex people there are. It sounds like the mayor is corrupt and developers want the land (which is prime real-estate right near the central train station) for luxury Russian oligarch stolen-loot banking schemes, which is pretty much what the central city of every major European capital is used for these days.
