Thanks, but fortunately it is gone for now. A change in my HRT also seems to have had a positive effect, besides the cream and proper care.

One of the articles you posted contains this bit:

According to Fuentes, who could not be reached for comment, Kent told him “I love what you’re doing.” Fuentes said he and his organization — as well as his social media following — boosted Kent’s message.
“We retweeted his stuff, we showed his stuff on Gab, we got his social media up off the ground,” Fuentes said in the three-and-a-half-hour livestream. “That was part of that call.”

So whether you believe Fuentes or rather Kent’s denial, Fuentes was at one time convinced that they are working together. That’s “ties” to me. YMMV

The two of them may not like each other all that much, but all of these articles affirm their connections and their past interactions with each other. And whether they Fuentes and Kent are amicable towards each other or not, they run with the same crowd of white supremacists and neo-nazis.

Joe Kent is a white supremacist with ties to Nick Fuentes and Fuentes has publicly denounced Trump for fighting Iran at Netanyahu’s behest.

The catch: He is a white supremacist with ties to Nick Fuentes and his motivations may rather be rooted in hatred for Israel and him disapproving of Trump fighting a war at Netanyahu’s behest.

We shall think of them when we assemble the guillotines.

This is - unfortunately - not surprising. Niantic has always been in the business of selling/using user data for profit, they were a spin-off from Google after all. Their first big game, Ingress, was used to train Google Maps.

Yes, I had it too. I got it under control with an anti-fungal cream and gentle cleaning. It still took a while before it was entirely gone though, partially because I did not get the “gentle” part of the cleaning right at first.

Oh, absolutely. Still probably everyone of us will remember one or several occasions when a union abandoned its stance in order to reach some sort of “deal” to the detriment of its members. I am 100% in favor of unions big and small, but I also don’t harbor any illusions about them being able to *not cave under pressure.

I am also not particularly optimistic that it will change much, but nonetheless I respect the union and its member standing up for their principles.

I added an archived version.

Ah yes, Midgar from Final Fantasy 7!

Why, thanks for disseminating the queerphobic talking point that seeing queer people makes children require therapy, Mr. Wholesome-Pixar-Movie-Guy. (Yes, I know the statement can be read differently, but it resembles the right-wing’s narrative to a T, so there is no reason to assume he meant anything different.)

This framing is misleading. France’s armed forces have denied having given any such authorization (articles in French news outlets 1, 2), instead France has clarified that US’ support aircraft are temporarily permitted to use one particular airbase in Southern France according to NATO rules. (3)

My pleathure!

It is. Jews had their drivers’ licences revoked and lost property rights to their cars on Dec 31th 1938.

That is a fair point on a personal level, but many people (myself included) appreciate a digested version of an official document and additional context for it provided by a journalistic article. Overall there is no reason to disbelief the detailed information provided in the article and assume that the reporter faked the document, unless someone wants to cast doubt on the unjustifiable treatment of trans people by the Trump government.

What is the advantage? The article explains the context much better than the PDF and contains a link to the document in the first paragraph.

I agree with you and the lineage is obvious when looking at how Steve Bannon pushed GamerGate at Breitbart and then went straight on to become Trump’s campaign manager.

And Bannon’s name missing from that article is one of the article’s major flaws, considering how much Bannon shaped the MAGA movement as a whole.
