Lmao yeah staged or not, absolutely this. If he’s some foreign correspondent those people don’t even flinch at accurate artillery fire. Nothing but respect for war journalists, they’re some hard mother fuckers.
Yeah so much of this seems so weird. The USSS response compared to similar incidents with other presidents seemed so odd - they secured the VP first and that staged af picture of them in a very non-tactical stack in the lobby/hallway? The fact the shooter even got past a single layer of security with a shotgun?? And apparently was some kind of IDF supporter, has anyone confirmed that picture?
If it is staged, I wonder what genius thought to do this in a room literally filled with the world’s leading investigative journalists and reporters lmao.

World News@lemmy.world•Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable. If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.English
11·3 months agoYeah you’re not wrong, but my takeaway is that it’s at least going in the correct direction (haven’t heard any white supremacist stuff but wouldn’t surprise me in that part of the world). When your house is on fire, you care less about who’s the guy with a hose.
Now we just gotta see if things improve through their EU vote and restoration of human rights in Hungary. Then their people need to work towards empowering more left parties. I’m at least somewhat hopeful, especially if it helps Ukraine.

20·3 months agoIt’s beyond me that any modern democracy would even allow someone be PM/President for 16 years in the first place, and then allow them to run again. For all that’s fucked with America rn, that one they’ve done right (for now).

7·4 months agoDamn really needed this right now. That launch teared me up, felt like a shot of hope right to my frontal cortex. Science and exploration really does bring out the best in all of us.

World News@lemmy.world•Rocket lifts off with four Artemis II astronauts on a mission to the moon and backEnglish
4·4 months agoHad the live stream on all day, I jumped up when the clock hit T-0 yelling “fly girl FLY!” Most powerful rocket NASA has launched, I definitely teared up. We need more of this. The possibilities to show what good humanity can do.

So you then? Because anyone who has to work with grants to fund their research knows this isn’t how this works at all. Lmao go back to Reddit.

3·4 months agoSLS is mostly designed by Lockeed-Martin and NASA SRC. Boeing was a private contractor too though. This is also the first space toilet we’ve put in a spacecraft and exactly why we’re doing this test flight.
Lmao the NPS account is the main reason I still have an Insta. Their posts are lovely.
Sim builds + cats, what are you me?! Working on my driving sim mostly right now, but nice setup!

News@lemmy.world•James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas
36·5 months agoTbf he’s Presbyterian, the same church as Mr Rogers, and by this atheist’s view, the only genuinely honest Christian sect as a whole. They focus heavily on Christ’s teaching on community, believe in the charitable service of others as the devine will of god, and they don’t prostilitize or require tithes. That’s not to say bad people can’t be apart of any faith, but as he’s a minister of that church (like Mr Rogers) I’m inclined to think he’s honest about those core beliefs and not just riding the good name of the church like other politicians have.
Ultimately none of that really matters. He’s on record more progressive than Crockett, and unlike her, did not take AIPAC money. That should be a deal breaker for any voter I don’t care what party, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•'We need to fully abolish ICE': Kat Abughazaleh talks immigration | Chicago Report Debates
5·5 months agoAll I can find is that her parents and grandmother were Republicans. Her Palestinian father coming to America after the 1948 Israel-Palestine war. Lot of refugees gravitate to whichever party was in power when they immigrated here.
https://www.distractify.com/p/kat-abughazaleh-parents
Can’t find anything about her being a Republican prior to this, just a reporter.
I did see the town hall she did with other candidates holding yes/nope signs and she confidently signalled all the right answers that wild align with Progressives/DSA.
That is a bummer though if she’s resisted DSA assocation.
But yeah I get being cautious about “new progressives” that are turncoats like Gabbard and Fetterman. Shit is pure evil.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry.
7·5 months agoYeah this. I hardly touch AAA titles anymore besides some Nintendo and Rockstar. But I’ve put in hundreds of hours in indie games, AA simulators, and some big studios’ smaller projects like Square Enix’s HD2D titles.

Weirdly relate to Kash Patel’s girlfriend who stopped to grab a couple of bottles of champagne and wine before evacuating. I’d do the same. If the world’s on fire, might as well dance before the flames.
