Peter Ciriwami, governor of North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been killed as M23 encircles the provincial capital of Goma

The Kivu conflict has been ongoing for more than 20 years at this point. M23 previously held Goma in 2012 before a ceasefire. It seems like no state is truly in control of the eastern DRC as M23 is backed by Rwanda, while the UN has claimed the DRC is arming non-state militias inside Kivu province to fight back. In a similar fashion to the Myanmar Civil War there are so many active groups here it feels impossible to keep track of alliances and controlled territory.

I don't even know what the media will call it this time to say it's not a Nazi salute

Please dear god, don't give him more ways to be annoying

Just remember in any war of US imperialism the bourgeoisie of the invaded country suffers the least. The people who will suffer the most are the indigenous people of Canada and Greenland who will have their treaties annulled along with the poor and working class who rely on the basic social services Canada offers that the US does not.

Canada as a state sucks and the people in charge would deserve it, but they will not suffer, everyone else will.

Lmao at "most innovative gameplay" being Liar's Bar. A game where the only gameplay is playing the card game cheat, which is so well trod that you could play it on Neopets. The only difference is that you can die, wow

Yea that's fair, it's just hard to think of it being outdated when I paid so much for it. Also it's the first time I've experienced VRAM size being the chokepoint of what I can run, but maybe that's just the new normal.

Yeah but they were right, Morrowind looks too good, every game should look like Cruelty Squad

Yee I'm stuck on a 6GB card so im SOL

I just want to punch nazis why does it have to matter if the reflection of a pigeon off screen appears in Indiana Jones' eyes??

That hair is a work of art for sure

Multi tiered healthcare systems are such BS any private involvement in healthcare diminishes the effectiveness of the public side. Disappointing to see this continued slide into private ownership not just in China but worldwide

Props to Tunic for making both a phonetic symbol based language and a musical note based language

Trudeau bans Tiktok from operating in Canada, but not banning Canadians from using it? Essentially just forcing Tiktok to close their Canadian offices and lay off their employees.

Mr Beast ass faces

Anecdotally I have heard people today saying Canada needs to increase ties with China, a take that would've made you persona non grata just yesterday

I love this zigzagoon, bring him back

Same, at first I thought: damn I guess it is trans rights to kill people with plastic bags

How the hell is this 2 hours long with 34 million views?? The first 2 minutes felt like 10

Counterpoint: Commander on tabletop sim is really fun. Why yes my deck does cost 800 dollars on mtg goldfish because I put all the prettiest cards in it. How much did I pay? 5 dollars for tabletop sim on sale

I have a redmi note 11 and I find they work really well for being in that price range. Only downside is you need to get it drop shipped because they aren't sold in North America, and the band comparability isn't the same so the signal can be a little weak.
