Do you remember Thomas Dewey? Governor of New York, Republican presidential candidate in 1944 and 1948? Or Adlai Stevenson, who was the Democrats’ fall guy to tank the guaranteed losses to Eisenhower. Or most candidates that lost an election more than 50 years ago that didn’t go on to cement their role in history somehow, like Nixon, for example. Kamala won’t be remembered as a loser, she won’t be remembered at all.

Edit: I just reread my comment, it comes off as much more aggressive than I intended it to (which is not at all). Apologies for that.

Hello Pol Pot!

I have no love for the Labour Party, but are they actually trying to alienate their constituents as much as possible?

Does he plan on shooting back at 5:45 or what’s the plan here?

I would attend and demonstratively sleep on the table.

The person linking Alan MacLeod’s post about the number of victims of the War on Terror is absolutely GOATed.

Not even that, transistors (at least the ones I know the foundational mechanisms of, like MOSFETs, but I am by no means an expert) can be understood perfectly well with a classical or semi-classical approach to electrodynamics. For more modern (and much less widespread and well developed) things like optical cavities or any implementation of quantum computing, QED starts playing a role, even though in my limited experience, the full blown quantum field theory approach is not needed either. QFT is fundamental physics research with little to no practical application outside of its field of research - yet. But of course, that does not invalidate the research done in the field and certainly not the mathematical foundations of it.

Kind of. Basically all modern technology could function or be understood with a much cruder/mostly classical or semi-classical understanding or knowledge of electrodynamics than actual QED provides. But for the fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms, yes, this is basically that.

Kyle Kulinsky is a socdem who has a news show on YouTube, if memory serves right. His takes on most things, including Palestine, are alright from what I have seen, though, so you probably won’t be yelled at for posting him dunking on .

…she lives in the US? Is she occupier (American of Israel), occupied (Israeli) and occupier (Israeli) now? Or is this not Hila Klein?

Did they find them in a four year old’s bedroom? Or in the lingerie drawer of a Gazan woman?

At least in Germany, it is. 18 stands for A. H., you can guess who’s initials this refers to.

I mean, he is stable.

No, we fucking don’t. Would it be better for “us” and the rest of the planet if we got our shit together and finally reduced our dependency on the US, maybe even established ties with the rest of the world that don’t aim for domination? Sure! Did we do anything to deserve a better fate than a painful decline into irrelevance after ruining the planet for 500 years? Fuck no.

“This bridge is the exact geographical limit between Balkan and Mitteleuropa!”

Doesn’t he have 13 other sons? Why care if one of them is trans, especially considering he doesn’t give a shit about his children beyond their number and capacity of deterring his assassination.

As someone who’s family was expropriated by the communists in their country: good. Could have imprisoned my great-grandmother less, she really didn’t know where her uncle hid the family riches.

“Free Parking” seems so to do the trick.

I have my (late) grandmother’s 35 years old Bosch MUM, which still works decently well. It struggles a little bit with larger quantities (>1 kg of flour) of firm doughs these days but does everything else well. My mum recently upgraded her MUM to an optiMUM and couldn’t be happier.

Blackstone and Blackrock are separate entities. Both are investments firms, but they probably commit different crimes against humanity.
