part of the reason for their rebrand is explicitly to disassociate from the more “neutral” NBC news brand (neutral in their own eyes, anyway).
And so that dissenters can no longer call it MSNPC.

It kind of worked in Argentina too, until it became clear that you can't remain rich forever if your economy is 100% based on cattle.

I always collapse all the multipage philosophical meanderings (especially the ones concerning AI) and navel-gazings,

One of those cartoons has the ugliest, most australopithecine caricature Irishman I've ever seen.

Chevalier openly called for "Death to America" and for ending western civilization!! Letting her ANYWHERE near any sort of political power is like giving Brenton Tarrant a machine-gun. Frankly, I don't think I belong in a nation where such a specimen can be elected. It certainly is no longer the country I grew up in.

Iran will never agree to any treaty which explicitly guarantees Israel's right to peacefully exist. Most of the time the Iranians can't even bear to call Israel by its proper name; it's always "the Zionist entity".

I remember 2014 being the year of Gamergate and Ferguson, but I don't recall anything about ants.

I stopped using cash many years ago because my wallet was getting overloaded with change, and there never seemed to be an opportunity to use exact change for anything (having only the wrong denomination bills).
True in my case. When I was a kid, girls in my class and even grown women would come up to me - sometimes even in the supermarket - and tell me I was "cute". You better believe that stopped the very minute I hit puberty; suddenly I was invisible to half the human race!
Related anecdote: thirty-some years ago I was in a shopping mall, and an attractive woman I had never seen before smiled, with real warmth, seemingly at me. Turns out she was actually smiling at a baby being carried by a woman right behind me! Sheesh, can't win for losing.

You gotta love that the page headed "Leadership Message" is otherwise blank!

Vanced worked on my android phone until 2023. Seems it stopped getting updated. I guess Google's lawyers killed it.

See also L. Neil Smith's novels where he pretends there were a significant number of female Libertarians. "Mary Ross-Byrd"?? Come on!!

By around 1900, you did get the sons of rajahs attending English public schools and universities. I'm pretty sure there was still no room for non-noble Indians though.

Viz. the "trucks of peace" driving into Christmas markets and such, in European cities. IIRC there have been at least a dozen of those over the past decades.

It's too bad he's gone. He's my favorite hard SF author. I'd kind of like to know the story of Nyjora, how it lost its technology, and what remnants of said tech still existed during the dark ages.

Maybe we're just the last outpost in the Slow Zone before the Unthinking Depths.
Nail polish is quite arousing for me, but only if the nails are reasonably short (say, no longer than 1/4-inch past the outer end of the cuticle.) To me, it signals unashamed embrace of her femininity. A lot of my female classmates at school had them when I hit puberty 45 years ago. It seems a lot rarer nowadays for some reason.
My heuristic, though, is that the longer the nails are, the lower the IQ. Especially if there's "nail art" or even fake jewels on there, like on an ad for Klarna that was on a display at my local mall for awhile. I mentally picture women with inch-plus nails as having a room-temperature IQ and being obsessed with social media (of which most of her posts consist 75% of emojis, plus those moronic abbreviations like "u" and "ppl").
Cuba too, unless Castro banned the game for some reason.
