The line he’s walking right now definitely isn’t working but saying that cutting support to Israel and sanctioning them “would pretty much guarantee” him the election just is not true at all (unfortunately). It’s not even close to true.
Biden could pretty much guarantee a win tomorrow by announcing that it has been determined that Israel is indeed committing war crimes, followed by cutting support for them as per the Law when the recipient of help is committing such crimes, ideally followed by sanctions.
I wish this was true but it very much isn’t. He’d immediately lose Pennsylvania, at a minimum.
Traditionally it meant Soviet apologists. Now it gets used more generally for the authoritarian left, where the horseshoe starts curving around.
We should do whatever we can to keep people off of the tracks in the future. But that’s not mutually exclusive with pulling the lever right now, since the trolley is already heading towards people.
Welcome to politics.
Netanyahu won’t agree to a permanent ceasefire. The hope seems to be to get any sort of long pause then push to extend and extend it so it is de facto permanent (and hope Netanyahu gets kicked out of power somewhere in there).
Seems like they missed the lesson of the trolley problem, then.
I can see the insanity on both sides.
But being able to see both sides doesn’t mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They’re not.
Without a doubt. Just saying it’s not 100% on the right.
Hard to know what to do about it when the people who are the most susceptible to misinformation are often the ones who think they’re the least susceptible to misinformation.
And no I don’t just mean right wing chuds. I’ve found there’s a heavy correlation between people who are certain they are immune to propaganda and know the real truth and people who have, in fact, been conned by propaganda and misinformation. Conspiracy theorists, MLM adherents, antivax weirdos, homeopathy people … they’re all “doing their own research” so they can’t be conned.
The hubris is always a dead giveaway. A sort of Dunning-Kruger thing.
For what it’s worth I totally acknowledge that I can be and have been tricked by misinformation and propaganda.

I do not trust your assessment of their expertise.
Cheekiness aside, there are plenty of people with tons of tech expertise working in the federal apparatus. Let’s hope they’re put on this project.
The National Institute of Standards and Safety (NIST) will be responsible for developing standards to “red team” AI models before public release, while the Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security are directed to address the potential threat of AI to infrastructure and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.
The rules will be developed by agencies with relevant expertise.
You do know that Biden didn’t personally draft this himself, right?
It delegates the specifics to agencies with relevant expertise. That’s how the executive branch works.
This shit looks incredible! I almost never buy games on day 1 but I can’t resist. Hopefully my local Target will have it in stock on Friday.
Looking at the Patreon and LiberaPay linked on the join-lemmy page it’s >$600 a week. Still not a lot.
Yes. There are innumerable topics and interests that don’t have a robust presence on Lemmy yet because the platform is just too small and niche. Lemmy is great for tech and tech-adjacent stuff but I still wander back to Reddit from time to time for sports, for instance.
Honestly the biggest long term threat to Lemmy is its technology not being able to keep up with its own success. Issues like bad moderation tools, spam, and fractured communities need to be addressed within the software platform itself.
Pop Culture Detective is great, for the most part.
This looks absolutely wonderful. My only mild concern is whether the badges & wacky wonder effects will be able to gel into one cohesive game (instead of just a parade of novelties and things that lose their luster), but reading about the long dev cycle of the game gives me more hope that all of the mechanics have a purpose.
I definitely do not think it does, and I agree with the rest of your post that neutrality would be a better path forward
