They’re not up for reelection next cycle, so they’re already getting fired, it’s just too bad that’s not happening for several months and it already fucked this particular situation and everything behind it (and they’ll do it again before they’re gone).

Remind me what’s the conversion rate from pound to dollar? Probably the right ballpark.

Unfortunately, reporters also couldn’t find a single general who cares that it’s allowed to disobey an unlawful order and that they can overthrow a domestic terrorist.

Your argument is literally that you don’t like the editorialized title, that’s it’s lazy and unprofessional, that the title alone is somehow distorting facts, that you think your version is better, and that the writer is a hack because of it, even though the point is correct, and you claim that parroting a press release can be the job of a good journalist. And you’re trying to wiggle out of it by pretending that it’s not the point you’re making, even though I am quoting you. I am telling you that this way of splicing quotes used to be correct even if you don’t like it, and what your argument leads to, and you still want to stick to it.

Exact quotes can be in the article. The title can be an editorialized summary that gets the point across as long as it’s a correct interpretation that you give your argument for in the article.

What you’re asking for is state propaganda, that’s where it goes, that’s where it is right now. It teaches politicians to spin longer phrases that clearly sound like promises and denouncing bad things so they can then deny everything the next day, because “that’s not what I said.” And on the other hand, it punishes those who make a short, blunt comment and then get hounded about the exact word they use, not allowing for any explanation - or any mistake. That’s how you get nations refusing to call something a genocide, and Nazis pretending to be upset at getting called Nazis, that’s how you get any left winger denigrated because they used a word you decided was not right, while denying the meaning of a word that a right winger said. You erase the importance of meaning by focusing on the importance of an exact quote while denying an interpretation. It teaches the media that asking questions and making editorial interpretations is forbidden because only the exact phrase from the press release is permitted, making it easier to manipulate the message being put out, because copy-pasting is easier than interpreting, and it reduces variations that expose the gaps and underline the problems.

You yourself right now are denying that this is really what she said because that’s not her exact words, leaving an opening to deny the entire comment - because that’s how it goes, not necessarily from you, but from anyone who comes after that. Hell, you’re already dismissing whoever wrote this as a hack because you don’t like that they didn’t use an exact quote, even though the meaning is absolutely right and you know it. Even your suggestion will be met with “but what was the exact quote” from people who will promptly ignore everything you say that’s longer than one sentence, and what you thought was more correct than this title will be deemed not correct enough. Like it or not, this is historically how journalism did things right, this absolutely was how quotes worked, until Fox News had to argue in court that only an idiot would believe they were news, and then nothing came out of it except Fox getting more power. This is how people keep moving toward more autoritarianism, that is what they have been doing, and that is what is happening now. Diversity in journalism is a good thing, and what you are defending only pushes toward uniformity.

It seems like you don’t remember what regular journalism used to be, because it was absolutely proper journalism to splice together pieces of sentences that make a shorter version for a title, as long as it was clear that the original really did mean that - which is the case here. The only issue here is the quotes, it would typically be “we’re dealing with (…) a communist dictator” or “we’re dealing with” “a communist dictator.” Your nitpick that the exact sentence wasn’t sliced up this exact way is misplaced, you’re not advocating for precise quotes, you’re just advocating for plausible deniability, like someone’s going to say “I didn’t say that, you don’t have a soundbite of me saying Trump is a communist dictator.” That’s just legalese, and that’s denying the meaning of the job, because actual journalism isn’t supposed to be a parrot job, this is exactly what it should be. It is, in fact, what she literally said.

It’s the first part with its DLC extension that was also released as a single pack, not the second part (Rebirth).

“Clair Obscur is the franchise name,” says Broche. “Expedition 33 is one of the stories that we want to tell in this franchise. Exactly what it will look like and what the concept will be is still too soon to announce, but what is sure is that this is not the end of the Clair Obscur franchise.”

Looking forward to Clair Obscur: December 33 for whatever is going on with the Writers.

yes, its the navel gazing voters who are to blame here:

He was speaking at a private fundraiser, I don’t think he was talking about the voters. It was about the party looking around for a strong leader and doing nothing while ignoring the various races that were actually going well against the right.

AIPAC doesn’t leave a lot of names available.

I mean, 86 is a real expression outside the Internet and was a popular slang at some point. Wikipedia says it exists in hospitality sectors, meaning simply to eject something or someone, but it specifically refers to putting someone 6 feet under, which is explicitly murder.

Rogan leaving his podcast for this would be an incredible net positive.

Fuck the judge’s feelings though, “if it really was that important you should have complained harder” is an insane take from the worst kind of bad teacher attitude.

That’ll be the question: who’s gonna come to grab these judges, and who’s gonna stand in the way and say fuck off. And then who’s gonna drop their pants first, or who’s gonna shoot first…

Hey nice, you found evidence that it’s not a recent trend at all for Democrats to fail elections because they can’t be bothered to even talk about anything left enough. 40 years it is.

I was pretty sure the fucking DOJ didn’t care that Trump instigated Jan. 6. And when the people saw that it was going nowhere fast, their money became more important. It’s not like voting for Harris was going to change anything anyway, none of the investigations were pointing anywhere to jail time or barely a conviction. Even the only one that went well is ending with the judge signalling that there will be absolutely zero jail time or fine or literally anything in the upcoming sentencing. What the fuck are the voters expected to think of it?

The only thing this article is talking about is that actual treason and attempted coup are used as a boogeyman being waved around to tell people to “vote for us or it will be worse” but never actually doing anything about it. Now they lost because they ended up doing nothing about anything. “There’s nothing that comes to mind that I would do differently.”

… so the article is right? They ask him if he’s thought about stopping his dad’s tweets. He’s the one saying “no because I’m an imbecile” , but you know, that’s sarcasm, he’s putting words in their mouth - because that’s how he interprets their words. He’s saying that asking him this question is the same as treating him like an imbecile. So the article is correct that Junior says they treat him “like an imbecile” , because that’s how he interprets their attitude towards him. That’s exactly what he’s saying.

You know he’s really talking about Democrats. He rails against open disregard for court rulings, disagreement with the Supreme Court, threats and intimidation of judges - he’s not saying that the MAGA think they’re above the law, he’s claiming that he is the law and the ones being dangerous and threatening are the Democrats who disagree with him. And probably those who want to investigate the ethics of the Supreme Court too obviously, that’s the real threat and intimidation. People like him are shameless like that.

It’s a trilogy, remake was part 1 focused on the Midgar part at the beginning, rebirth is part 2 and goes to the end of OG disk 1, part 3 is expected probably in 2027. Crisis Core Reunion is already out.

It’s not really “between the lines” when he’s been straight up shouting exactly that for years. He’s been very vocal about it at least since he bought Twitter, “keeping only the most talented ones who really want to work” and it turned out that only the immigrants who can’t AFFORD to leave stayed for shit pay.
