I had hope that this would be a blip of an assault and a ceasefire would be brokered. Now, it feels almost certain that one of the most cursed regions in the world is going to be plunged into a civil war without a clear justification, and where everyone loses.
Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.
Great article. If Morocco’s claim is rejected, what’s stopping Algeria from trying to step into that power vacuum? Does Western Sahara have any sort of organized military that could resist against armed conflict over its resources?
I wouldn’t be surprised if we just saw the region become a capitalism pseudo-country, with US/China coming in to buy off the resources.
I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens’ issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?
Hilariously, this fine is probably not even large enough for them to spin off a shell company and declare bankruptcy on the debts. They’ll just shrug and move on. Toothless.
That’s the best question. Clarence Thomas shouldn’t have been able to openly flaunt his corruption for decades, but he has. Is this just going to be more firm hand-wringing by the Dems with no enforcement mechanism whatsoever? At that point, it would be better to just recognize the court as illegitimate in the public eye as opposed to giving the false sense that it is in anyway ethical.
Any third party player is a negative to Biden right now, even if it is “just” Manchin.
The election is won and lost on the 10% of independents within purple states, and this ‘coalition’ would batter left-leaning independents with ads
Great article. Insightful and over a longer time horizon than I expected
I’m a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I’ll bounce over to that app. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn’t have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don’t have to feel as gross doing it.
Smart on KIA, then.
Does this help qualify them for some of the Inflation Reduction Act credits, or is that tied specifically to where the battery materials are sourced from?
Why do you have a pet dinosaur?
I don’t think the fediverse has a realistic shot of breaking into the mainstream. However, I DO believe it has an outside chance of building up enough of a userbase to become a viable reddit alternative for me.
This is a good community idea. Is this a common acronym? Otherwise, how will folks find this community outside of this post?
I can’t do it quite yet. Feels like a funeral today, and I’m only half joking. I probably sunk over a thousand hours into this app.
Between Boost and Sync, Lemmy is emerging as a promising option because there’s going to be multiple strong 3rd party apps to engage with.
Among the wealthy there will always be the search for the rare and exotic. I’m not surprised that this has become some kind of distorted 'destination"
