The Biden admin has gone from “concern” to “serious concern”. Shouldn’t be long before “very concerned”, then “highly concerned” before ending with “absolutely concerned”, whilst doing nothing to stop it.

A lot of news of the attempted Trump assassination, but I have seen nothing on the other big story - the documents case - the BIG ONE has been completely dismissed by Trump's lacky judge. The US and by extension, the World are absolutely screwed.

I am not coping at the moment. I have been working on a POC for a client that will hopefully improve the performance of an API I have been working on. I have gone well over estimated hours. Main manager is querying my line manager. I just now had a senior dev call me and query me about my decisions

I think the next time a State Department spokesman says to a reporter that they're waiting for Israel to reach its own conclusions in an investigation of themselves the reporter should throw a giant rock at the spokesman

He should end his campaign simply because of a bad debate? The families of potentially 200,000 people who have died to American weapons would like to have a word… In this worst timeline, having a bad debate performance is somehow worse than facilitating a genocide. Make it make sense.
Most Democrats nationwide say that President Biden should end his reelection campaign based on his performance in the presidential debate two weeks ago, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.
Most Democrats want Biden to drop out, but overall race is static, poll findswww.washingtonpost.com More than half of Democrats say Biden should end his candidacy. Overall, 2 in 3 adults say the president should step aside, including more than 7 in 10 independents.

Why do so many people only type in lower case? It makes reading their posts unbearable for me.

Yeah - nah. Biden is complicit in the murder of potentially 200,000+ innocent people. He continues to be complicit. No person with a shred of moral decency would vote for either of them.

It looks like the Israeli military dropped leaflets in Gaza city telling them all to evacuate but it was a trick, where they had set up snipers covering the evacuation trail and began to pick out targets as people fled.

Maybe feeling like “at this point we just have to hope they die of old age” is a strong indication that this is not a functioning state

We see through the lies. The gaslighting by Israel and the US no longer works. There is NO defense for what is happening in Gaza, for supporting this genocide, for the last 76 years of oppression.
INCREDIBLE. Israel publishes footage of bombing someone on a bicycle, calling him a PIJ operative. Doctors Without Borders condemns the attack which killed Fadi and 5 other people including 3 children, while he was cycling to work near the clinic where he was providing care. x.com/manniefabian...

Watching a video on how difficult the new Elden Ring expansion is. As expected, the comments are full of nongs saying "Just git gud"; "Easy mode would ruin the game". Shut the fuck up. Easy mode has no effect on those that enjoy pointless pain. Difficulty modes make games more accessible.

Selling stolen Palestinian land in the West Bank to settlers in the United States while Israel is committing an unconscionable genocide is certainly a choice that some people can choose to make. I personally believe that is a choice that deserves to be ridiculed and condemned as truly evil shit.

The Biden administration is 100% complicit in genocide. No ifs, ands or buts. They are as culpable as the Israeli government.
Intercept reports that documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that Biden provided Israel with US Air Force officers who helped target Israeli airstrikes in Gaza theintercept.com/2024/01/11/i...
