This is what my mom is dealing with in the next few days after my sister ruined our lives with a parasite of a "man" who has stolen 70,000 from her over the last5 years,& after doing the work for him to sell a property and pay her back? "We owe you nothing/have a nice life"🧵↓
To give you an idea of how British politics has degraded into deranged radical-right lunacy, just consider what the public reaction would have been had a politician in the 60s or 70s proposed the following:
What Max is alluding to here, is that the current administration has virtually no consumer protections operation whatsoever, and that's by design, to be as business friendly as possible.
There's also the fact that the Supreme Court is extremely corporate friendly.
So there's no legal avenue in the United States to realistically challenge Sony, or any large multibillion dollar firm.
This is all of a result of our current trend in electoral politics. Who we vote into office matters, and there are downstream effects that you wouldn't normally connect that flow out of who controls the American government.
I know a LOT of people have varied opinions on Max Dood, but on this point, he's actually right.
@lvladen@ElliottVenczel Having at least one button that occasionally feels like it deals burst damage is nice, even if it's just a feeling, idk why they nerfed both hero trees when only the cleave of one is topping...
I DO NOT think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.
Sam O’Hara, the man who was handcuffed after playing Darth Vader's "Imperial March" at National Guard members, said that his experience was proof that Star Wars' themes of standing up to fascism and tyranny are "timeless."
"Here we are in 2026 dealing with that same... fascism. Tyranny…. I wasn't harming anyone. I wasn't being destructive. Using art and using music—I think that spoke for itself. The song I chose brings up feelings in others that I wanted to convey. It paints a picture, and it tells a story on its own. I think good protest, just like good art, should be provocative."
