A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Hegseth needs to be in jail for the rest of his life, and that’s the moderate option.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

!["Heroes,
" Moore says, "are dangerous." And the
superhero narrative in particular is a fascist "power fantasy," a "white-supremacist dream of a master race," one that now, with the explosive success of the MCU and its multimedia sprawl, has saturated the culture so completely as to have trickled into the ground water, and polluted even our political storytelling, such that - as he explained on the How To Academy podcast — "the fantastic [and] unbelievable threat" that we've come to expect in our shows, movies, games, comics, novels — it'll get absorbed, as an effectively simple storytelling device, by the nightly news, and the political commentariat, so that it manifests in daily life as "the underground Democrat paedo demons that were suggested by Anon, and the equally- unbelievable superhero savior that is working behind the scenes to rescue us all will be 'The
