Ugh. I joined the JREF forum when I was very young and impressionable. I guess I made the right friends there because I guess I managed to avoid getting sucked down any nazi pipelines. I don't want to start on it though because I will end up going on and on about it.

Keep spending your campaign dollars on messages of hate and exclusion, geniuses.

In the lead-up to the 2024 elections, a surge of political attack ads targeting transgender individuals has flooded the airwaves. However, new polling data suggests that this strategy may be backfiring for Republicans. A recent survey conducted by Data for Progress indicates that a majority of voters perceive these ads as “mean-spirited” and are growing weary of the focus on transgender issues at the expense of pressing concerns like the economy and healthcare.
An overwhelming 80% of voters—including 85% of Republicans, 75% of Democrats, and 82% of independents—believe that political candidates should “spend less time talking about transgender issues and more time addressing voters’ priority issues like the economy and inflation.” This consensus highlights a disconnect between the Republican campaign strategy and the electorate’s priorities.

Russian court orders Google to pay infinity dollars

It's an accumulated fine from a previous ruling by the Russian court ordering Google to host several Russian state-owned media channels on YouTube.

The court had previously ruled that Google would be charged a penalty of 100,000 rubles (€950) for every day access to the TV channels remained blocked. The amount of the fine would then double every week, growing exponentially. A plaintiff in the trial told RBC that as of September, Google’s fine was almost 13 decillion rubles, or 13 followed by 33 zeros.

As Google has continued to block the channels in question, the penalty has now reached 2 undecillion rubles, a source told RBC, a theoretical sum that far exceeds the total value of all assets on Earth.
lol, this is an actual government court and the fact that they're still discussing these numbers seriously in hearings at this point is kind of adorable. Like I have to imagine that a few people at the highest levels of Russian government genuinely believe that one day when all the sanctions are lifted they will be able to legitimately collect on this fine and Russia will become the wealthiest nation in the whole solar system overnight.

I'm pretty sure it will soon surpass the number of atoms in the known universe (approx 10^80) and, just a few weeks after that, the number of subatomic particles.

Russia just might be slightly overestimating the actual value of being able to do business there. Did they never hear the story about the chessboard and the grain of wheat?

One of the judges started playing Cookie Clicker on his phone and had a brilliant idea.

The Vatican has unveiled a new cute anime girl mascot, hoping to create characters that “can represent the sentiments that resonate in the hearts of the younger generations”.


The new character named Luce (which means “Light” in Italian) helps to “guide young pilgrims towards hope and faith” according to the Catholic News Agency.
She is kind of adorable really.

so this is for "show me on the anime doll where the priest touched you?" right?


I mean, yeah this is an easy one, but you'd think someone in the church would have pointed the joke out first.

Little anime girls on a holy pilgrimage. How sweet. Will the anime boys be dressed in armor, and join up in a holy crusade?
