Support stupid war, end up vacationing in North Korea.

Scores of Russians have flown to North Korea for a private tour — the first foreign tour group to visit the reclusive state since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Russian leader was given the opportunity to expound familiar grievances unchallenged.

It's stupid. Imagine the presidential immunity were a thing: POTUS could hold a press conference, rape a reporter in front of cameras, kill her husband at the same time, and nobody would be allowed to stop it.

Although I understand the importance of feminism, I never had the impression that feminists are good at PR. Somehow, most articles written by feministsI've read love to stereotype and bash men.

Inflation, partisanship and the pandemic have made them glummer than the numbers suggest they should feel

I think the author just looked up statistics to reach a conclusion convenient to them.

Just ask the actual people. (Why didn't they do interviews?) There are so many details lost in their cherrypicked numbers. Prices, wages, housings, they are very bad according to what I read online, contrary to what the author argues citing average growths. Maybe they have no grasp of reality anymore?

The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump's standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

Right after Abbott said Texas would shoot migrants.

He said he doesn't because Biden would charge them for murder. Charge them now.

I used to like The Economist, but this is Nazis propaganda right on their page.

Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians. Israel does want to destroy Hamas, a militant group, and is prepared to kill many civilians in doing so. While some Israeli extremists might want to eradicate the Palestinians, that is not a government policy.

This is not okay. This is Nazi logic. Nazi, fascist logic, from The Economist.

Even Nazi Germany did not make killing the official "intention" or government policy in my understanding. At least not always. It was announced as a safety guarantee, for example.

Kiyosaki has continued to espouse those financial views (and has explored extreme political perspectives, including adopting right-wing-media talking points in his call for the impeachment of President Joe Biden).

Not all morons support the baseless impeachment, but rich people who support the baseless impeachment are all morons.

as a condition of their plea deals in the Georgia election interference case are just one sentence long.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a standard practice.

It's just a legal tool. Even prosecutors are not interested in the depth of apology. Why would a defendant write a long text with 1000s of words, of which one tiny word choice can lead to a huge problem.

Republicans: "We're attacked with illegal votes!"

De Santis wife: "Non-residents, vote for us."

Took me, a non-US citizen, a while to get the joke.

Three U.S. lawmakers are calling for greater scrutiny of worker safety at Elon Musk's SpaceX following a Reuters investigation that documented hundreds of injuries at the rocket company's U.S. manufacturing and launch sites.

The Nov. 10 Reuters report detailed at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries since 2014 at SpaceX including crushed limbs, amputations, head injuries and one death.

The scheme, where staff have their working hours cut by 20% while keeping their existing salary, has been adopted by some businesses which argue it improves work-life balance without damaging productivity.

Yes.

Terrorists will have no problem writing their own encryption program, and more ordinary citizens will install malicious apps from unofficial app stores.

I don't buy that. He tried to cancel the purchase. He's also losing money, and so it's definitely not a 3D chess.
