Board game idea: "Terrorforming Earth", where the players are corporations trying to ruin the planet for profit. At the end, when human life can't be sustained, the corporation with the best stock valuation wins. Yes, it's a Terraforming Mars persiflage. No, there's no option to escape to Mars.

I might point out that "to protect and serve" is pure propaganda, but being a BSG geek I'd rather draw attention to the fact that Adama said this a short time before a (for all intents and purposes) military coup. Good thing Adama ultimately had the hots for the Prez.

To anyone who's concerned about how the Punisher could possibly fit in a Spider-Man flick: do yourself a favor and pick up a comic book every now and again. The guy fits in Spidey's world, because that's where he was introduced.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day was great fun. A few spoiler-free notes: It's the most Spidey out of all the MCU Spider-Man flicks. More flipping, more swinging, and, finally, more NYC. As it should be. Very character focused, up to and including the finale. 1/3
Worth remembering how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights came about: in light of the atrocities of Nazi Germany, the UN Charter alone was deemed as insufficient. Funny how especially self-proclaimed "conservatives" seem to disregard history. And by funny I mean consequential.
Seeking asylum is a legally protected international human right. Trump’s deportation agenda was never about “legal immigration.” It was always about cruelty.
Nowadays it's a special kind of people with a blue check on ex-Twitter. That said, people had been fine with not owning their stuff for a while now. It's getting more common even in meatspace nowadays.
I have a 20-year-old Gamecube that still works like a dream. So up yours, asshole.
One of the most important thing people should take away from the Odyssey is how great Samantha Morton is. In a stacked and (sometimes suprisingly) good cast she's a standout despite only having a small role.

Schwerpunkte Wirtschaftspolitik, innere Sicherheit, Anti-Energiewende. Gesellschaftspolitisch konservativ, dafür wirtschaftsliberal. Da würde mir auch direkt "Bundesgesundheitsminister" einfallen. Hat der mal außer ein Register für "psychisch Kranke" zu fordern mal irgendwas in dem Bereich gemacht?

So ... Musk is a billionaire (again), therefore all billionaires are Musk? Okay, now that I wrote it, I can kinda see it ...
Take 20 seconds , read the whole thing.
I'm a simple guy. I see the FF in the MCU proper, I see an accurate depiction of Dr. Doom (still not quite sure how the'll pull of the Downey Jr. casting, but Doom's face is not ... pristine at least, it seems [1:38]) ... and I no longer care what any of y'all say.

Es gibt punktuelle Bemühungen, die Situation für Spahn zu retten, indem betont wird, dass Politik und Moral getrennt gehören. Dazu nur, in gebührender Zurückhaltung: WER HAT DENN DAS "C" AN DIE SPITZE DES PARTEINAMENS GESETZT? Saat, Ernte, Motherfucker.
Spahn stellt klar: "Es ist keine Doppelmoral, wenn man generell keine Moral hat"
Berlin (dpo) - Was wollen alle von ihm? Nach Kritik an dem Umstand, dass Jens Spahn und sein Partner ihr gemeinsames Kind per Leihmutterschaft zur Wel

Sollen sie den Service doch im Ausland buchen? Andersrum wird'n Schuh draus, Jens: politische Forderungen gut und schönstens, aber dann bitte auch vorleben. Wird die Diskrepanz zwischen den Rechten des Pöbels und des Neo-Adels zu deftig ... aber auf die Geschichte zeigen ist schon laaaange müßig.
Jens Spahn lässt mitteilen, dass er aus seinem Privatleben keine politischen Forderungen herleite. Daher wäre es auch kein Widerspruch, dass er die Erlaubnis der Leihmutterschaft politisch ablehne und sich selbst einer Leihmutter bediene. How Brechmittel can people get?
Just a quick FYI, just to spoil all the fun that is explosive diarrhea (huzzah!): if trends continue unabated, this will also have an effect on the food industry. There's a reason you could more or less trust the food on sale, and it was not because producers are inherently trustworthy.
Online-Umfragen sind zwar ohnehin wackelig, lieber @tagesspiegel.de, aber die Aussagekraft weiter zu verschwabbern, indem die beiden möglichen Position "JA SICHER!" und "Och nö" sind? Oder, ach, sollen die Gegenstimmen mit allen Möglichkeiten gestärkt werden?

If you install a paramilitary gang of thugs, people will die. This is not an accident, obviously.
While I agree 100% with the call to action, I can't help but think that the face scanning issue is just the latest manifestation of a long way of abandoning rights to companies. You own fewer and fewer things, and are even prohibited from repairing some stuff, etc. Time to speak up was yesterday.
In 2027 cars are going to be required to include facial scanning to determine if someone is drunk, overly emotional, or otherwise incapable of driving, and prevent the car from starting. This data will be sold to insurance companies and more. We need to demand and an end to this. Now.

Hot take (?): He just tried to shield his branch of the party against an upstart. Once that was no longer viable, he switched his tune instantly, because none of it meant anything anyway. There is no "wrong" for people like him.
Like so many others…He knew it was wrong, but kissed the ring for his own selfish ambitions.
There's a German proverb that translates to: Hope is the last to die. ("Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt.") ... sorry, what was the topic again? ...
So, this shitshow dumpster fire of a fascist regime put the sitting president of the United States on an airplane that could not protect him from missiles, and flew him to the neighboring country of one we are currently striking with… missiles? Are you fucking kidding me?
