Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.

My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.

I don't understand the story with this guy. Apparently he was arrested on January 4th, and had been an FBI informant for years: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-proudboys-leader-idUSKBN29W1PE

How is he now getting a 33 year long sentence if we was an informant?

I wish the UK would do the same. At least in the US they learn a bit about slavery - here in the UK we learn nothing about the British Empire and its atrocities. No wonder we have statues of slave traders everywhere.

Yeah I guess so. But the fact that the police arrested him 2 days before the insurrection, ostensibly to prevent the insurrection itself, and then it happened anyway and everyone seemed super unprepared for it, idk the whole thing seems a bit weird. It's possible that he's just outlived his usefulness, but I wonder what was said in those 2 days after his arrest but before the 6th.

And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee's Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.

Cool I guess we'll all just die then.

There's so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun".

I wish my government kept companies in check a bit more than they do. I live in the UK where all the water companies are owned by hedge funds and they keep discharging raw sewage into all our waterways. I feel we could do well to take back some control from them.
