but it's passing on their way to/from the animal shelter

I was surprised at how much the media apparatus was finally admitting to what we've all known this entire time, but then I remembered that liberals have the memory of a goldfish, so ultimately I don't think Biden will drop out. MSM will simply stop talking about this within the next few days, until the next incident, and the next, etc etc.

Remember, Biden's handlers only let us see him at his best, so his performance was no surprise to them. These are the people who have to feed him and (likely) change his diapers. They know, better than anyone else, how cooked he is, and yet they have made zero moves to set up a contingency. There seems to be zero effort to set up Kamala or anyone else to take over the front of the ticket, why would that change now? They are so deep within the sunken cost of going all-in on Biden, they have left themselves zero alternatives. I guess DNC donors panicking and demanding it might be the one thing to make it happen, but I have a feeling they will simply ignore the problem until they can get people (including any nervous donors) distracted by something else. After all, this is the same party that shamelessly weekend-at-bernies'ed Diane Feinstein up until her last, wretched breath.

All that said, I do think there is a solid chance he croaks before the election. He's already known for his frequent falls (that we see), and the falls will only get worse and more frequent as his brain continues melting and he gets worse at catching himself before he slams his skull into the floor or a podium or something. If his handlers were at all half-competent, they'd at least put him in a wheelchair and try to revive the "FDR 2.0" schtick, but that comes with its own risks and I don't see the DNC going that route.

Oxygen Not Included is 66% off. This game ruined all other colony sim/management games for me, and is by far my top-played game on Steam. This is probably the best review to give potential players an idea if this game is right for them. It's still being actively developed, and there's even a new DLC being tested on the beta branch right now.

Cassette Beasts is 40% off. If you've ever been into Pokemon, but felt like their games were getting stale, this is worth checking out. Also, the creators seem like comrades; the "Team Rocket" stand-ins are literally real estate agents, and at one point a bearded NPC named "Karl" makes a cameo.

Please be forced to ask China for help it would be so fucking hilarious.

China's space program is doing so much better than the west, it's not even close, btw.

Reminder that US congress made NASA cooperation with China illegal, but that didn't stop us from having the fucking audacity to request access to lunar samples acquired by Chinese missions.

Intel suspends planned $15 billion expansion of southern Israel chip plant

Chip giant makes no link between war in Gaza and decision to freeze extra investment in factory being built in Kiryat Gat, says it remains ‘fully committed’ to the region

Uh huh, sure, lmao. Hope this is the beginning of a trend

Someone get Fetterman a Cybertruck (it has poor visibility and no crumble zones)

The Gaza Division commander of the IOF also resigned as well as an "observer" of the war cabinet

This is the heart of the most popular touristy area in Chicago this time of year, so I think it's a smart move to increase visibility and cause disruption, but I'm equally really worried about inevitable police rioting to clear it out because of how visible and disruptive it is.

Edit: Some additional context, Chicago's downtown neighborhood (the Loop), where this is situated, infamously clears out at night. Not because it's unsafe or anything, but just because there's virtually no night life unlike other neighborhoods. There's a huge police presence around the fountain right now, but I'm really worried that the cops will just wait for the middle of the night to do their thing.

Exploding like an ACME bomb when prompted into a logical paradox is a feature, actually

Pretty sure tiktok does this, at least if you copy the url from their share context menu: instead of appending a query param with a tracking ID, it generates a unique url for you to share that is tied to your account. This is how tiktok notifies you "so-and-so watched the video you shared."

At first I thought the timing of this might be intentional to use the Trump trial shit as a distraction, but on second thought I don't think most Americans give a shit either way :/ https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthis-us-britain-strikes-weapons-shipping-9f13a9739a139abfecb6fdc499280a89

Reminder that the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was literally an Israeli prison guard. Unlimited feet-first into the TOS machine for the staff of The Atlantikkk.

If feet first, I'll canvass for you

Now I regret not posting this to c/the_dunk_tank

I thought she looked familiar, you know it's bad when she lost r/politics. Not that I think they took any valuable lessons from this.

MGP is not a bait and switch candidate, she was a compromise candidate within that district to defeat a fascist.

The ambassador is actually just making the most of the situation after the factory misinterpreted his order for a "baby shredder"

Gonna be real funny when China inevitably leapfrogs western GPUs and CPUs, but such hardware will be unobtainable for western consumers due to protectionist sanctions.

Will popular consensus be to just deny the reality of superior Chinese tech and continue in their rabid sinophobia, or will g*mers turn on western politicians gatekeeping them from higher frame rates?

Historians may mark the date of the true beginning of the end of western civilization as the upload date of a Gamers Nexus review of a Chinese gaming PC running Cyberpunk 2077 @ native 8k 240fps with raytracing enabled.
