You misread my comment. I said "just" as in "simply" not "recently." Words can have multiple meanings and uses. My point was that this is not an abrupt decision and has been in the works for quite a while because of the war, but it was not based on a decision "specifically tied to a recent development" in said war because it had been announced months ago in June when Belarus got kicked out. They just/simply have been waiting for the contracts of both groups of scientists to expire before sending them home for quite some time.

I recall this being announced earlier in the year, and it's the result of current (5yr) contracts expiring and not specifically tied to a recent development in the war or anything like that. CERN just decided not to renew contracts with Russian scientists who are solely affiliated with Russian institutes but had to wait for them to run out, and as the article points out, this already happened to scientists from Belarus back in June.

All 10 of us here stand united on this most exquisite and elevated of horses!

It’s like, this isn’t really a successful venture, right? We’re not really thriving like we were in the past, are we? We’re likely never going to get anything like that back either, huh

It's always the people with 0 post submissions complaining about this. It's always someone else's responsibility to create communities and find the content to fill them and it’s never enough. Just imagine how much more active the Lemmy side of the Fediverse would be if everyone submitted one article, meme, video, or podcast, etc. a day in some niche community of their choosing. But hey, I guess shitting on the opportunity we have to start fresh is a lot easier than committing to contribute to the slow but organic growth of another news aggregate.

At this point, refusing to fact-check a debate is just a tacit admission that you want to help the GOP. After all, JD Vance is on record saying he has no problem lying and making up things if he thinks it's politically advantageous. Tim Walz shouldn't have to cut into his time correcting the lies of an established liar. Why have journalists involved at all? Seems like it'd be cheaper to hire some bozo off the street to read the questions and only enforce time limits on the Democrat. You don't need Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan to accomplish that.

Yep, that's what I said.

I think whoever buys infowars(dot)com should donate it to Dan and Jordan of the Knowledge Fight Podcast. That would be the perfect way to end things.

but I do have to find the choice of 9 other cherry-picked countries to be an odd comparison.

Just to be clear, the "cherry-picked" countries you think are an "odd comparison" are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Yeah he has said something along those lines. I don’t believe a damn thing he says though. It’s in his best interest to say he’s a MAGA convert and a true believer now but I think he’s just an opportunistic little weasel.

There’s nothing he won’t say or do if he thinks it’s going to further his ambitions.

He’s willing to do “whatever makes sense” to get ahead.

Yeah, I got it the first time.

No, no, no, no, it’s only terrorism if the perpetrators are brown. If they’re white republicans it’s just a little prankarooni!

People overblowing shit like wild.

He bought the rope

They need to release the video of him making the purchase. They claim to have it but refuse to release it. There is no reason not to. So until that happens, there’s no reason to believe the cops.

Edit: 🥾😋’s get blocked.

It’s laughable that MAGA chuds keep insisting the mainstream media is biased against Trump when the truth is he gets every advantage and benefit of the doubt imaginable. It’s not their fault he’s just a stupid piece of shit that fumbles everything despite their help.

Let’s be honest here, the mainstream media and cable news networks in particular have been carrying water for Trump since he descended that fucking escalator in 2015 and announced his racist platform. Nobody wants a second Trump presidency more than the mainstream media. There’s a reason ABC kept turning his mic back on during the debate but shut Kamala Harris down the one time she tried to speak outside of her allotted time. The major news outlets have failed us completely.

Of course they did. They do that every single time there’s a mass shooting now, which is daily.

Yes, that’s the Major League Soccer team I’m referring to. As I said, there are plenty of Messi fans that call the sport soccer. Your claim is objectively false.

He plays for Inter Miami in the MLS. I assure you, plenty of Messi fans use the term soccer.
