  • FDA refuses to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot

    Jump

  • Smells like eugenics.

    RFK's idea about how to make America healthy seems to be to kill everyone who isn't already immune to the viruses that vaccines protect against.

    If the only people who survive & breed are the ones who don't need expensive medical care, then over time the population's profit margin increases.

  • The Aztec empire’s collapse shows why ruling through coercion and force fails

  • username checks out

    Also, we're kind of already there, the main difference seems to be that we're not sacrificing nobles en-mass (yet).

    The wiki article makes it sound like a custom born of perceived resource scarcity where they would send some people away so the rest could have more.

  • Why is China selling US treasury bonds worrying?

    Jump

  • USA has been allowed to roleplay as world police using other people's borrowed money to supplement oil revenue to pay for their army.

    China's push toward electrification & USA's recent self-goals undermine the world order that USA has been perched on top of since WWII.

    If the rest of the world collectively decides they've had enough of USA's bullshit, they can just choose to stop lending money for nonsense like a dozen aircraft carriers full of F-35's.

    Among the consequences of living in such a world, is the various regional hegemonies would need to arm themselves to police their own backyards. Pakistan and India. Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran. Russia and EU. If they all got a cut of the global military production that today arms USA, would they use it against each other?

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" [refer to in-app purchases]

    Jump

  • That's a funny way of asking people to uninstall Epic's game launcher & boycott their games.

  • Senate shutdown deal stalls over Graham objection

    Jump

  • Yeah, allowing ICE funding to be discussed separately was a tactical error. It gives up too much leverage and weakens their negotiating position.

  • The old guard of human operated propaganda farms feel threatened by having their playing field leveled. They're scared that non-capitalists may now have the means to have their voices heard over the cacophonous noise of the billionaire owned media and government sponsored troll farms.

  • I was disappointed to find that Red Dead Redemption 2 is just a linear series of cutscenes without any real player agency - more graphic novel than game. I thought it was going to be Skyrim with guns when I bought it. Its the last game I'll buy without demoing/pirating first.

    A Study Is Retracted, Renewing Concerns About the Weedkiller Roundup

  • Reddit overtakes TikTok in UK thanks to search algorithms and gen z

  • Another contributing factor is the TikTok website just doesn't fucking work half the time and the only support they offer is a misconfigured AI prone to getting stuck in loops.

  • UAE to withdraw forces from Yemen after Saudi strike

    Jump

  • KSA has given up on trying to defeat the Houthis, and now wants to buy them with a promise of revenue sharing from the oil fields that were recently captured by UAE-backed STC.

    KSA hopes they can reduce the frequency of attacks against their oil infrastructure and economic diversification mega-projects. They're betting that the cost of the Houthi attacks that will still be launched against them, plus the cost of the bribes aimed at reducing the frequency of those attacks, will still be less expensive than a full ground invasion of Yemen.

    Furthermore, KSA is racing against the global trend away from burning oil for energy. They need to diversify their economy while oil is still valuable, and a ground war would halt that progress because investors won't want to put their eggs into an exploding basket.

    So KSA is willing to act against members of their own anti-Houthi alliance in order to prevent a UAE-sponsored break-away state from metastasizing on their border - a break-away state that would control the oil revenue that KSA hoped would buy them a temporary reprieve during this fragile economic moment.
