231·2 days agoI’m not going to make a redundant post, but I thought this quote in The Guardian was of note:
The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said on Tuesday: “I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime. When a regime can only maintain power through violence, then it is effectively at its end. The population is now rising up against this regime.”
It’s time to play everyone’s favourite game: Was he referring to Iran or the U.S.?

141·8 days agoI don’t know where to start with why this is an infuriating post. In addition to believing that virtually all words need a pound sign appended to them, the capitalization here is a crime against humanity.
Camel case for StatusCoup, followed by all caps for LIVE, then we can’t be bothered to capitalize a city name. Then, it’s just random tags. Yeah, we’re a news aggregator. As such, “press,” “news,” “media” and the suddenly camel-cased “BreakingNews” is literally what people are expecting.
Now, why you placed this in World News is confusing.

5·14 days agoIt’s been forever on account of them closing down almost all their stores. The rate of expansion circa 1996 was absurd. We were cannibalizing our own customer base by opening up a new one a few miles away. There’s only so much demand for rotisserie chicken when you’re charging twice what Costco does.
