When they send their golpists, they're not sending their best, folks. Terrible coup, actually. Top 10 worst coups, even.

Look. Bitcoins might be useless at a societal level. But if we're going to use excess renewable energy to drive out of business the crypto-miners who get their power from coal...

The vibes I get from the French left in social media remind me of the days when Podemos (in Spain) was soaring. It gives me a bit of hope. Good luck.

"The scary socialist madman" accompanied by the Democratic Party apparatus? A presidential candidate Sanders along with a moderate liberal VP would have gotten both the traditional Democratic vote (as long as the party collaborated with him, rather than giving him the Corbyn treatment, which I don't trust liberals not to do) and a considerable chunk of the electorate who doesn't feel represented by either party. The day you guys understand that you don't have to fight the Republicans in traditional terms, but rather, to change the coordinates of the fight, you'll force Republicans to choose between evolving or getting buried. But the real problem by this point is whether it is too late.

Canary Islands. Great place, but the mass tourism is actually killing them, provoking skyrocketing rent and shortages of power and water.

Is this bill going to be voted by the previous representatives or by the ones we just voted? Because that page shows the ones who are leaving.

Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who died by self-immolation (...) protesting against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government of Ngô Đình Diệm, a staunch Roman Catholic. Photographs of his self-immolation circulated around the world, drawing attention to the policies of the Diệm government. John F. Kennedy said of one photograph, "No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one.

Calling them brainwashed is disrespectul and ignorant of similar acts that, while they haven't been enough to change policy, have invigorated social movements that sometimes resulted in the goals they were aiming for. The fact that you use "brainwashed" specifically almost makes me think that you can't even understand how people could see the murders of tens of thousands of children as something worth taking radical action for.

I was just mostly addressing the fact that none of the reasons for which you claim one of your kids isn't neurodivergent is actually a valid refutation.
