As somebody who has viewed Hasan Piker’s stream from time to time for years…I feel that even though he says this, and will likely continue to say it for two and a half years, he will “pull the lever” for whoever the D candidate is on Nov 7. 2028. This assumes that the Dem party and mainstream media don’t just stand by and let the GOP suspend elections in 2028.

Gee, I wonder if the corporations will win these cases?

Yep. This is exactly why. It makes logical sense if they only thing that matters is profit. Several places that I worked would allow the public to come in and request these “about to be tossed.” items to take for free.

Yoko Tawada’s next novel centers around a Japanese near future where all that is left of their civilization is a few thousand elderly Japanese and millions of robots that provide all the health care, farming, etc. that their society requires, but can no longer provide for themselves.

Let’s see Canada join BRICS+.

I guess I thought it would be longer before I saw openly vapid, grifitng, right-wing, cult of personality in the office of prime minister of Japan. SMH. I give it less than two years before reasonable Japanese wish their government hadn’t installed this clown as prime minister.

If Russia actually had the manpower and hardware to overwhelm Ukraine and achieve their objectives, they would ahave done so years before now. They are stalling. The west could end this whole conflict relatively quickly if they wanted to. Simply sever all diplomatic AND economic ties with Russia and with any country that doesn’t do exactly the same. China and India would fall in line almost instantly and Putin’s efforts would collapse like a house of cards.

So, about 5% of the number of Russian conscript casualties?

They already stole the 2024 election. Google Dominion, Liberty Vote, Musk, and stolen election and enjoy the rabbithole.
