It's hilarious how so many pro-Capitalism people get upset when their Capitalism isn't hidden from them.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

This is why you don't support Leopards Eating People's Faces Parties unless you are a Cis-Het-White-Male and, of course, a serious fucking asshole.

The way prices have always been set: to maximize profit. Technology increases the efficiency of that goal.

I think it's important to clarify that it's a reflection on the White American Voters.

To really understand the government of a society, one must look at how it treats immigrants. It tells you what the government would treat citizens like were it unrestrained. It's the nation-sized version of The Waiter Rule.

American politics is fairly easy to understand. Start with this basic premise and work from there: Racists in power will not be held accountable by other racists (those in power, or voting racists) if that means a less-racist person will gain power.

Sometimes I wonder how many Dutch people know that Mark Rutte was their version of the USA's Ronald Reagan: the start of the never-ending downward fall to the right-wing.

The platform will be set at the 2028 convention. So saying “abolishing ICE is now the official position of the Democratic Party” is misleading.

Nothing says pragmatic like voting for the policies and people that lost to Trump. Twice. Here's the thing: either the D's become progressives, or the USA becomes openly fascist. The path of 'pragmatism' is the path that has created the *ever increasing worsening* that we see today.

They said ICE is confining people with tuberculosis where they usually put problematic prisoners. Some are spitting up blood but not getting medical care. And the rest: "There is a flu in this place that never goes away because we are overcrowded 76 in a single cell..."

Here in my part of The Netherlands.... 10 day in June were 30C or above. 10 days in July were 30C or above. 3 days in Aug have been 30C or above. ...and it's been dry as hell - 30mm of rain in 2 months, that's 1.2 inches for you Imperial folks.

The report demonstrates how 2025 was the warmest year in the UK series from 1884, with the last four years in the top five warmest. The number of days over 30C has quadrupled for Greater London for the most recent decade compared to 1961-1990. 🧵2/

Well, well, well.... The Pope just excommunicated an entire community of right-wing Catholics, and not just the bishops. From what I understand, that's something like 600,000 people who attend the schismatic masses.

I dislike the Dutch News habit of framing the nitrogen issue as something that is hard on the "agriculture" sector when it is only really a small slice of that sector: the livestock sector. For a farmer that's not raising livestock, the nitrogen issue is far less impactful.

It's it funny how the organizations seem to resist "left wing authoritarianism*" (like school integration), however. (* as viewed by the right wing)

A new day, a new reason to be glad we made the decision to leave the USA. There are *a lot* of things about The Netherlands that I do not like, but all of them *pale* in comparison to the things that I do not like about the USA.

I'd wondered how'd that happened given that you folks have been adamantly clear on your stance. Glad to hear it hasn't changed! And yeah, Fuck AI.

When people gather together to publicly support governmental action, it's not called a *protest.* For Example: if a group of people gathered together to support the government creating National Parks, it wouldn't be called "A protest in support of National Parks." Language matters. @nltimes.nl
