If you don’t think Python is a good scripting language, what is a good scripting language in your opinion? Bourne Shell? VBScript? PHP?

Yes, I’m not familiar enough with European politics to confidently say what it would be considered there.

So I’m going to interpret your request broadly and recommend a couple podcasts. They aren’t necessarily right-wing (honestly, probably center left to center right), but they’re probably outside of what you’d normally consume and may challenge or intrigue you.

1. The New Liberal Podcast New liberalism is a rebranding of neoliberalism. I’d start by listening to a couple mailbag episodes and his past best books of the year episodes.

2. Conversations with Tyler Tyler Cowen is a conservative economist at the University of Chicago, but you don’t actually hear his opinions that often on his podcast which consists of interviews with an eclectic variety of folks from a homeless man to a Calvinist theologian, from music producer Rick Rubin to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. He has a unique interviewing style that consists of a series of disjointed questions. He often poses challenging questions, but he gives them plenty of space to answer and doesn’t debate. I would suggest skipping interviews with people you know you’re going to hate (e.g., Peter Thiel), but instead look for interviews that pique your interest.

You know, if I had an extra two hours two sleep every day, I might finally wake up ready to go in the morning.

Sports gambling was legalized after a prolonged campaign by the gambling lobby. In as much as this article discusses the result of that change in law, I would argue it is political.

They haven’t changed anything. It’s just more handwringing while continuing to support genocide. Yesterday:

“We’ve had ongoing assessments of Israel’s compliance with international humanitarian law,” Miller added. “We have not found them to be in violation, either when it comes to the conduct of the war or the provision of humanitarian assistance. We view those assurances through that ongoing work we have done.”

“As many as 80% of the buildings in northern Gaza, where the bombing has been most severe, are damaged or destroyed, a higher percentage than in Dresden.”

-Wall Street Journal in December

The media office of the Hamas-run Gaza authorities said 18 Palestinians had died in the past day trying to retrieve boxes of aid dropped by air. Twelve had drowned chasing aid that landed in the sea, and six others were trampled to death.

It blamed the United States for resorting to dangerous and inefficient air drops, rather than pressing its ally Israel to allow more aid in by land.

Yes, Biden could have stopped this genocide any time. But he didn’t care until he saw that it was costing him votes. I guess the Russian trolls were onto something.

rape occurred. mass rape did not.

It’s referencing a paywalled Haaretz article.

How can you be so cold blooded as to call the starvation of 2.3 million people a “wedge issue”?

There was recently a story about a woman in Ohio who left her baby in a pack 'n play while she went on vacation for two weeks. She returned to find the baby dead from starvation and dehydration. I imagine my own baby wailing with hunger for days on end.

This is what Israel is deliberately subjecting tens of thousands of children to while Biden continues to give them weapons and diplomatic cover. This isn’t a wedge issue. This isn’t a talking point. This isn’t a bargaining chip. As long as we are on the wrong side of this issue, we are “the axis of evil” in the world. We are irredeemable.

I’m not quibbling. Bernie is supporting a man committing genocide. Oh, Trump is advocating for genocide? Why should I give a hoot whether Biden says he likes genocide while he gives Israel the bombs they are using in the genocide. Words mean nothing if your actions contradict them. Biden’s duplicity is no virtue. At least Trump has the spine to own his crimes. Biden kills babies while crying crocodile tears, and Bernie is his apologist. Shame on them all.

You know what won’t end the genocide? Wringing our hands while we vote for the politicians carrying it out.

Hey now! Biden is complaining while he supports the genocide with weapons. What more do you want?

Because Lemmy wants Biden to be re-elected so bad they want us to ignore his genocide

Trump talks while Biden acts. Which is worse?

Imagine this is happening in Kansas, and not only is Biden doing nothing, he is sending weapons to the people responsible for this. Do you vote for him because he’s the lesser evil?

Americans lost enthusiasm for Ukraine long before 10/7. Their was never a huge interest. Most Americans were nominally supportive of Ukraine, but it long ago stopped being top of mind.

Sorry Zionists, the days you could quietly cash our checks while you brutalize Palestinians without notice are over. But don’t worry. Butcher Biden’s got your back, and so does Trump. The American voter has never been particularly squeemish about crimes against humanity and war crimes.
