So people in Chongqing are the New Yorkers of China?

The reason the flag was at half stalf before the executive order is because Biden chose to lower them because Carter died a week or two ago.

FLYING THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES AT FULL-STAFF ON INAUGURATION DAY

the fuck Jimmy Carter executive order lol

Kind of amazing they are still clinging to the idea that he did that shit with quite literally no evidence, I’m glad he did something at least, I heard Deb Haaland* spoke to him directly about this throughout his term, so if she couldn’t convince him no one could, I also heard Leonard has diabetes and a few other health problems and wasn’t getting proper medical treatment so I hope he gets that at least, even though he is still not free in home confinement.

Natalie Bara, the president of the FBI Agents Association, which advocates for active and retired agents, said it is “outraged” by Biden’s reprieve for Peltier.

“This last-second, disgraceful act by then-President Biden, which does not change Peltier’s guilt but does release him from prison, is cowardly and lacks accountability,” Bara said in a statement. “It is a cruel betrayal to the families and colleagues of these fallen Agents and is a slap in the face of law enforcement.”

Get fucked Natalie and by association all other feds.

I don’t want to be too much of a pedant, but it is different, it’s not likely any of these people did anything besides Hunter. Unless it comes out these people actually did anything, comparing Hunter to Kushner is a fair comparison, but preemptively pardoning your family because you think they are gonna get persecuted because they are related to you is pretty unprecedented. I don’t really fault sleepy for this, what’s the alternative letting Trump groundlessly put your family in courts and make a media spectacle out of it.

In Amerikka you have to go to the fancy grocery store to get pill capsules that don’t have bone juice in them.

It might be helpful if posting Xiaohongshu content to c/left_tok is encouraged, as it seems like it is pretty dead right now, might get more people interested.

Peggy Hill: Can I have a glass of the Jamaica (pronounced like the country)

It was just really tone deaf and disrespectful ultimately, there was something in it about how IDF members are drafted so it’s not really their fault for having served, clearly ignoring that you can just choose not to be an IDF member and do the relatively short prison sentence, in regards to her saying people shouldn’t be boycotting some IDF soldier. I don’t have the heart to watch whatever changes were made, I doubt they were transformative though given the original.

I had the thought of something like this, but nominating the YouTuber Jessie Gender for worst video-essay of the year with her 4 hour long video about Palestine which boils down to “what’s happening in Palestine is really bad, but liberal Zionism is valid”. She also managed to include a quote from “Son of Hamas” in the original video. Maybe the biggest display of BreadTuber sophistry I have ever seen, not to mention it is the length of two entire movies, while saying almost nothing worth hearing. It has just stuck with me how phenomenally bad this video was.

That is a lot more informative than what I posted, thank you

That’s kind of what I meant thought, like oh well at first we thought we were only targeting ~50% of the market, but now we realize we’re missing out on the other ~50% so we’re doing hers, they could have just not named it hims in the first place and avoided making a hers

Hims making a 2nd brand called Hers is the final boss of gendered marketing, beyond parody.

There is a bad joke to be made about two state solution prostate solution if someone wants to farm some social media likes.

It depends on if it is true or not that they were holding passports. I would feel comfortable calling any workplace that holds your passport “slave-like”. It’s fair to be skeptical, but there’s no non shady reason to do that if it’s true.

I hope Mangione doesn’t get the federal death penalty at least, although they might resist doing that because he could become a martyr, I don’t know with Trump in office though there might be pressure to execute him

do I hope he has a good lawyer or that Diddy has a bad lawyer
