Charlie Kirk got famous through Turning Point USA, a political group targeting young voters, spreading stupid political memes as conservative propaganda.

There’s many videos of him setting up a booth at college campuses and debating college students on their liberal or progressive viewpoints.

It happens all the time if you continue to pay attention to events months or years after they occurred. There are people with focus, skills, and interest who dig in to understand disasters and complex factors that often create them.

I guess you can argue that the initial political discussions kick off the resources that get actual solutions created down the line. It’s just sad to me that people get all riled up about crazy situations like the central Texas floods and when the actual analysis of the situation comes in later hardly anyone cares to read the reports or even give a shit about the proposed solutions.

At least we’re starting negotiations on policy from the left instead of the center.

Mamdani won a mayoral primary, hasn’t even been elected yet and the hype on all sides is enormous.

Really hope New Yorkers dig in and back this dude.

Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

It’s like there was a creative writing exercise with a prompt to pack as much bullshit as possible into 5 sentences.

It’s constantly horrifying that our president communicates like this in public. Completely unreal.

Also adding the main opponent, Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York State for a decade, had multiple credible sexual assault allegations only three years ago amongst other corruption scandals.

It’s weird he even wants to be mayor and has major credibility issues. I think if you want to call a progressive wave, an established Democrat who’s not completely fucking sketch needs to lose.

This was the late 2000s but knew a person actively working on long range ballistic missile interception. Asked, “how does it work? Is it like a shotgun or explosion where you explode when closing in on the other missile?”

Turns out the most reliable method was kinetic. A pencil hitting a pencil on the order of kilometers a second making contact way up in the atmosphere.

My limited understanding is this was nowhere near 100% reliable at the time, but there were successes. Some real crazy shit when you think about it.

There just aren’t enough criminal immigrants to reach our lofty goals. Turns out people motivated enough to leave their nation of birth and come here despite all the obstacles generally don’t want to fuck around once they arrive.

We can kick out immigrants and restrict international students until the cows come home. We will be worse for it because the US consistently fails to educate and up skill our own citizens en masse.

Aside from the moral issues, we just invested probably 150k in this kid’s education, and NOW we pay more to deport him?

Really? Isn’t it famously petroleum and shipping lanes?

Previously people complained the Switch 2 couldn’t push pixels like a PS5…

Is there a big rift in the player base that plays docked vs mobile? I just don’t know how to process the feedback for this console.

You ain’t wrong this is cooked medium well. Tough to execute a big piece of beef over charcoal. Great photos and write up.

Not to mention OP is a Lemmy celebrity!

6th grade me thought the Supreme Court was the coolest branch of government. Objective, wise, and infallible.

We’re all just people I guess

I don’t vote based on resolution bills because they don’t impact the law. This shit is just used in campaign ads down the line to make whatever argument is convenient for the situation. I would prefer if my rep Shri just abstained. It’s such a lose-lose. Yes we condemn fire bombing people in the streets. We do not condone ICE actions but they’re wrapped In the same little stupid resolution for no real reason.

Sorry I read that in a different report here: https://apnews.com/article/iran-explosions-israel-tehran-00234a06e5128a8aceb406b140297299

Israel’s military said about 200 aircraft were involved in the initial attack on about 100 targets. Two security officials said the country’s Mossad spy agency was also able to position explosive drones inside Iran ahead of time and then activate them to target missile launchers at an Iranian base near Tehran.

Crazy that within just a couple weeks Ukraine and now Israel have successfully smuggled drones into a country. Terrifying new vector of war.

I haven’t seen chicken noodle with mozzarella before. Broth looks rich and delicious!!

Look I just appreciate people post food here. Don’t stop posting food here, but this particular breakfast is the opposite of porn.

As someone who normally has coffee and smokes for breakfast I would eat this.

This with roasted eggplant slices and aioli on a ciabatta bun is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time.
