Mass Effect TV series screenwriter, Daniel Casey, addresses a recent article on tweaking script for 'non-gamer audiences'.

It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.

Kindly fucking fuck off you cynical dishonest peace of shit.

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

I’m curious, do we think anti-lockdown activists who transitioned to conspiracy theories spend MORE or LESS time than average locked in their home in front of a screen

No, it was following the status quo, because Trump dictated that policy and Biden stupidly followed it trough.

It's isolationist delusion that is running deep across political spectrums in America.

American wealth and stability relies on America being the world superpower, meaning they cannot ignore global issues for domestic benefits.

Myth of American exceptionalism have sadly rotten American brains.

Obama-Biden wanted nothing but total focus on domestic affairs, with foreign affairs being frustrating distractions.

Their apathetic half-measures to avoid escalation, have only caused more escalation. On top of it both of them had relatively friendly Congress for merely 2 years each.

I wonder how much he can do, he can't become Prime Minister before 4th May and transition can last even longer than that.

this really is a significant blow to the global far right. Hungary under Orban was more than a financier and place to host events: it was a proof of concept

The fuck?!

Christiano Ronaldo is named after Ronald Reagan. Also his surname isn't Ronaldo but it's actually dos Santos Aveiro.

What the fuck?!

"This is the story that needs to get out there" FIVE MINUTES OF GOOGLING COULD HAVE BEAMED THIS STORY DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EYEBALLS AT ANY POINT SINCE 2005

Yes which makes this all the more absurd.

Orban was helping Iran with intel sharing, but that's really it.

He has been far more useful to Israel as he blocked sanctions.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

It will take years, infrastructure investment into Syria will solve a lot.

Between pipelines, roads and railways, this is all possible.

But yeah, recession is unavoidable.

Get ready to learn to install solar panels buddy

This is the culmination of SIXTEEN YEARS of dogged work by everyday Hungarians.

You think that felt hopeless sometimes? I'm sure it did.

👏 Don't 👏 give 👏 up 👏

Trump could not be setting the stage for her more perfectly if he tried

I don't think I want to live in a country that has touched the stove as hard as Hungary has but damn it's nice to see this kind of thing is possible.

To scholars of democratic backsliding, it is difficult to overstate how big a deal today's election in Hungary, a country of less than 10 million people, is likely to be as a narrative milestone for our age, regardless of which way it goes.

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Not lost on me that the "dead Palestinians are hilarious because they own the left" crowd is where a lot of the denialism is coming from

yeah unfortunately this is very, very familar from academia
