Well, looking up "league of legends worlds", I seem to be the only one actively posting about it on here 🥲

#leagueoflegends #worlds standings and draft after today.

Absolute horror draft for EU fans, teamkilling again in losers bracket and #G2 vs #BLG...
NA got lucky with #FLY vs #TSW and #VKS vs #PSG.

Tomorrow they'll play the 2-0 games, which are BO3's.

Yeah I am EUW and it can get very toxic indeed, that's why I just watch and don't really play anymore. Can't be bothered to be stuck in a 45min game with toxic people

Tomorrow's draft is so sad for EU:(
FNC autoloss and we're teamkilling with MKOI vs G2...

I don't play the game, but I do watch Worlds every year. I can always recommend watching that to get yourself hyped up to play lol

The fact that this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado is Venezuelan is the cherry on top:)

I feel like it's really up to the writer of the article lol
Some of them aren't as "bad" as others.

Great to see NYT report on it like this.

This government shutdown threatens the health coverage for over 24 million Americans enrolled in the ACA (Obamacare).

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 17d

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“It is easy to lose sight of the real stakes” in this government shutdown, the editorial board writes. “President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance, and Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.”

Opinion | The Real Stakes of the Shutdown

President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance. Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.

Het is jammer hoe hard ik geneigd ben om u te volgen in die gedachtes, maar ik ben nog iets meer optimistisch over het mensbeeld van vandaag hahaha

Klopt, maar als hoger opgeleiden rechts stemmen, dan is dat eerder om (liberaal) economische redenen dan culturele. ("Meer behouden van eigen kapitaal gaat boven klimaat redden dus ik stem (centrum)rechts")

Iben @ibenr.bsky.social · 16d

Sommigen kunnen geen informatie zoeken, omdat ze niet weten waar die te zoeken, of door "slecht geïnformeerd" te zijn niet eens beseffen dat er meer informatie is.
Er is natuurlijk wel een grens, waar dat besef er wel is, maar het eerder opzettelijke onwetendheid wordt en ze niks willen opzoeken...

Iben @ibenr.bsky.social · 16d

Dat mag dan wel waar zijn, maar veel jongeren (en zelfs volwassenen) worden tegenwoordig gebrainwashed door sociale media en zijn dus wel echt ongeïnformeerd.
Er is een reden dat hoger opgeleiden in het algemeen progressiever stemmen.

Surely Mr. #tedcruz didn't mean to say it like that, did he 🤔

I think it's crazy how good you have to be to actually have chess be profitable and viable as a career.

I really hope these next 4 tumultuous years ahead make this bond even stronger and strengthen EU ties in general.

Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · Dec 13

In a shifting world, where threats take on many forms, it is good to hold onto a few certainties.

The EU-NATO partnership is a cornerstone of our security.

Equally strong is my friendship with Mark Rutte.

I had no clue what it was until it won... Never owned a console/was interested in console games (rdr excluded), so I guess that's why.

What can I say but ggs

These two have always been the worst.

Is that really how tie breaks are solved in Trackmania? I've seen some content about the game and heard a lot of great things about it. This kind of ruins that all for me lol wtf is that ruleset???

@atriocreal.bsky.social you asked for @'s to get a bit more chatty on bsky: What do you think about this nominee? Will you make a video on it (since you made a few on Khan before)?
I hope for the best, but think this presidency will be insanely profitable for big businesses and screw over workers.

Iben @ibenr.bsky.social · Dec 11

Trump's FTC nominee just makes me sad.
Lina Khan did so well to stop monopolies/mergers that hurt worker power. Andrew Ferguson (nominee) will screw over the gains made for Antitrust laws since he vowed to "reverse Lina Khan's anti-business agenda".

Andrew Ferguson, the F.T.C.’s Next, More Deal-Friendly Chair

Andrew Ferguson is expected to go easier on mergers than the agency’s current chief, Lina Khan. But he could take a similarly tough approach to policing Big Tech.

In my eyes it's just a cute lil 9th planet still:)

Iben @ibenr.bsky.social · Dec 11

Why stop at Pluto? Leave that cute little planet alone!
Deep space sounds way more interesting to me 🥰

Crazy to see the French Defense being played and then Ding defending like this.
