Boxing was initially taken off the 2028 Olympic program due to the IOC’s dispute the with International Boxing Association. Basically, the IOC wants to have an alternative governing body for the sport.

Yeah, I’ve definitely noticed that in the past.

Trump as reverse Guaido is becoming more real by the day:

“If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we’ll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it’ll be a far safer place to meet than our country,” Trump said to Musk. “OK, so we’ll go. You and I will go, and we’ll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela.”

Trump had alleged that Venezuela has released violent criminals from its jails and sent them to the United States to reduce its own crime rate.

“Their crime rate is coming down and our crime rate is going through the roof. And it’s so simple. And you haven’t seen anything yet because these people have come into our country and they’re just getting acclimated and they don’t know about being politically correct, law enforcement or lack of law enforcement and our police. I have to just end with this. We have great police,” he said.

Abbas and the Palestinian Authority are Israeli puppets used by the zionist entity to help police and discipline the West Bank. There are wings of Fatah, including its armed wing, that aren’t in line with Abbas/the PA, but overall the organization is mostly compradors at this point.

I tried play-by-post in high school, but I was real flighty and had too short of an attention span, so all those games fell apart pretty quickly.

I just started a play-by-post campaign recent using Discord, and it’s been a lot of fun. We’re playing a mystery/investigation game, so there’s less of an emphasis on 2D grid combat (which can be a real sticking point/weakness of traditional PbP).

I’ve seen Joe Rogan and Tim Pool. Idk who else.

What would the GOP even do? Vance is obviously unacceptable on the top of the ticket, both to the general public and the majority of the GOP’s factions. They’ve already had the convention.

Would be hilarious if they somehow turn what was a likely win a few months ago to destroying the party.

Are they going to pick and choose which subreddits get paywalled, or pull some revenue sharing scheme with the moderators to get them to voluntarily paywall their subs? I could see the latter “working” by getting enough buy-in with super-users.

If the Ukrainians do interrupt the gas flow, wouldn’t that have massive political blowback? There’s no “plausible” deniability like Nordstream.
