New Republic had some good reporting on the depth of what DOJ found https://newrepublic.com/post/185668/fbi-document-influencers-russian-disinformation The Doppelganger program and its “Good Old USA Project” aimed to mimic mainstream media outlets to push pro-Russian policies through fake social media accounts. Documents show that the Kremlin specifically targeted Trump supporters, minorities, gamers, and swing-state voters by spreading far-right conspiracies and capitalizing on existing divisions in U.S. politics. ”They are afraid of losing the American way of life and the ‘American dream,’” Ilya Gambashidze, an architect of the project, wrote, outlining his scheme. “It is these sentiments that should be exploited in the course of an information campaign in/for the United States.” To do so, the Russian government would emphasize that Republicans are “victims of discrimination of people of color” and promote conspiracies that white middle-class people are being discriminated against. The “guerrilla media” plan needed to not only plant falsehoods, but also spread them far and wide. They targeted gamers and chatroom users, who they described as the “backbone of the right-wing trends in the US segment of the Internet,” and monitored social media influencers. The Russians planned to build relationships with prolific posters who were “proponents of traditional values, who stand up for ending the war in Ukraine and peaceful relations between the US and Russia, and who are ready to get involved in the promotion of the project narratives.”

Keeping Michigan out of the end zone at their own stadium would be allsome

YIKES that holding call was sheisty and the kick was 100% nerves

Progressive insurance pulling out of Texas, home insurance markets falling like woah https://www.chron.com/business/technology/article/progressives-texas-home-insurance-19747472.php

the cherry on top for this boondoggle would be for it to lose attitude control and become ballistic due to the thruster failure. Here's hoping that boeing and aerojet rocketdyne haven't fallen THAT far

Suburbanites got us into this trumpy hellscape, the least they can do is help pull us out

Lol wut russell brand wat is u doin

The multibox you get with YTTV is clutch

I'd imagine that still has quite a demoralizing effect on the enemy

IDK man, can we can an ACKSHUALLY informed opinion on russian disinformation? Like GRUhorn or pronghorn?

Not an MMO or even really an RPG, but it does have RPG elements. It's an Ubisoft open world star wars game with an emphasis on stealth over rushing in and blasting everything. You certainly could go blast everything, but the player character is squishy. It's a great bit of slipping into some star wars ass star wars, but it's also not bringing any groundbreaking new features. I'm having a blast and have finally gotten off the starting planet and had my choice of 3 next planets to explore. The planets have a good amount of stuff to explore and find, and my curiosity has been rewarded with some upgrade materials whenever I check around the corner or up that hill

man I'd love to know what @PRONG HORN was reading that made him so sure that it was happening. It's like he's being forcefed straight propaganda via xitter and loving it

My guy, they do drills for school shootings like they do for tornados and fires. They just assume it's gonna happen and there's nothing that can be done about it but hope our kids are the ones coming home on two feet.

and then elmo comes in with spacex: "Ha! Tree fiddy!"

you new around here?

I'm close to 8 hours in, and really enjoying the games atmosphere. TBH stealth games aren't my bag, and the player character is too squishy to go all Kyle Katarn on them, but it's fun stealing from imps and thugs Really looking forward to exploring the games universe, it looks great on my living room TV streaming off my PC using Moonlight and Sunshine

I've been hearing scuttlebutt that the new Intel mobile chips will have "ARM-like efficiency" so maybe their big bet on their own fabs will pay off yet

Incredible stat

The Acolyte didn't fail because of culture war bullshit, it failed because it made eight 30 minute episodes for $200,000,000. That's a pretty goddamn unsustainable business model, and on top of that the episodes were all mid to crappy

I am extremely gruntled

What an allsome Saturday, goddamn! Just gotta see if the domers can embarrass aggy tonight
