The Daily Show did a segment on him a couple months ago.

If anything it should be a joint venture between Iran and Oman, the country on the other side of the strait that’s mostly getting ignored in all this.

Israel: We’re not included in the ceasefire
Iran: You sure about that?

And yet somehow the part where there are active MLB players who share names with Cold Play’s lead singer and Carlos Santana is not wrong.

Elections Canada says election day for all three is Monday next week.

Gladu’s defection brings the Liberals up to 171 seats, short of the 172 needed for a slim majority.

Not sure if it’s up-to-date, but the Wikipedia page for the House of Commons says 3 seats are vacant out of 343 total, so the Liberals actually have a majority of the 340 seats that are occupied.

Ceasefire also includes Lebanon, Israeli news site reports

Israel’s Ynet is reporting that the ceasefire also includes Lebanon.

Citing security sources, the website said the ceasefire includes both Israel and Hezbollah laying down their weapons. It did not provide further details.

Israel is onboard with the ceasefire, too. Haven’t they done a fair bit of firing during the Gaza ceasefire(s)?

Accounting for patches will also be interesting, especially for newer games that are still working their way towards a decent state.

There has been speculation that he’s going to retire after the Supreme Court’s current term so Trump can appoint a replacement before midterms. One supposed sign is that Alito has a memoire coming out just after the Court’s next term begins, and the justices usually do their book releases between terms so they can promote them without court getting in the way.

In February 2024, Disney invested $1.5 billion to acquire an equity stake in Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, as part of a multi-year project to build a new games and entertainment universe.

An outright acquisition of Epic would be a second attempt at the same ambition, only this time with a company Disney has already paid $1.5 billion to understand.

The article’s headline is wrong or misleading. Disney isn’t looking at buying Epic for $1.5b, that’s what they’ve already invested in Epic. There is no mention of a proposed acquisition price in the article.

The term virtue signaling refers to an annoying moral peacocking that has less to do with politics than with self-gratification. It’s the dinner guest who feels compelled to comment on the climate impact of every course. It’s the guy who annoys his colleagues during meetings with constant bits of civic guidance.

But Donald Trump and his administration have embraced the Mirror Universe version of virtue signaling. They’ve pioneered the practice of “vice signaling,” or saying insulting or odious things both as attention-seeking behavior and as a way of showcasing their supposedly transgressive political views. They aim to demonstrate strength by being willing to appall other people, much as schoolyard bullies insult their classmates to gain the approval of other bullies. It’s the same peacocking, but with uglier feathers.

I did not expect Star Trek’s Mirror Universe to come up in an Atlantic article about politics.

The birth date field that was added can be used by age verification processes, but it’s not age verification itself.

As if Meta actually deletes anything
