What is this meme about even?

Downplaying Boeing's poor safety record by suggesting that they're the subject of repeated attacks that aren't their fault?

Who does this resonate with even?

Doesn't the USA subsidize electric vehicles a ton too with tax credits and other subsidies at both the consumer and producer levels?

I read the article but I'm still confused how this works.

My understanding is the herpes virus DNA is integrated into our own. So once the gene editing molecules snip at the herpes virus damaging it, how does the chromosome get put back together?

Is it actually sniping at two places in the herpes genome in a way that the two ends match up and reform while cutting out a section in the middle?

North America makes its cities catered to cars rather than people and then people spread out into suburbs. Then North Americans say they can't make the cities suck less because the people are too spread out.

Seems worth noting he's not being charged with anything spying or geopolitics related, but instead he's been charged with theft. No details in the article about what he's accused of having stolen. Seems like almost the only notable fact in this whole story is his being a US soldier in Russia, otherwise there's a ton of Americans accused of pretty crimes while abroad every day.

That doesn't really contradict their premise about making modern RTS. StarCraft and Age of Empires 2 are ancient at this point. An entire generation of kids has grown up since they came out.

I don't think the fact that you could make a successful mainstream RTS way back then really says much about whether you could make one in 2024.

What does all this mean?

The Rog Ally is a Windows machine. It doesn't really need a team to maintain compatibility or "mainline their source code".

When asked why the Times doesn't see its job as trying to "stop Trump," Kahn completely missed the point and said journalism's role is to provide "impartial information" rather than becoming a "propaganda arm."

That's pretty rich when you read any of the New York Times' coverage of countries that are America's geopolitical enemies. Their articles practically read like State Department press releases.

Meanwhile, Representative Elise Stefanik—the star browbeater of the hearings on campus antisemitism called by the House Education and Workforce Committee—has been gunning forthe resignation of Columbia President Nemat (Minouche) Shafik (a matter that is not the purview of politicians, but of faculty, administrators, and trustees). 

It's funny how even after kowtowing to right wing demands, she faces demands to resign not only from the left that she sicced the police on, but also the right that she has been groveling towards.

It was a tough sacrifice, but the really important thing going forward is making sure Elon gets his 56 billion dollar bonus reinstated that was so cruelly taken away.

Trump has that incredible either-you-see-it-or-you-don't charisma.

For every Trump there are a thousand wannabes like DeSantis who get destroyed by their gaffes and screw ups (like is supposed to happen) instead of being boosted by them. The exception, despite being very prominent, doesn't break the rule that coverage of a politician's gaffes is normally very, very bad for them.

I really don't think so. The fact that we're still talking about this week's later is an indication of how dead her national political career is. Her brand is the dog killing politician now.

She was a contender to be Trump's VP candidate, and he can't stop talking about what a fool she is with no political acumen.
