I reckon this was a big decision that will have substantial ramifications, but some of this analysis is shit.
"Biden just made the hardest decision any politician can make"
Bigger decision than going to war against Germany?
Bigger decision than rescuing the population from COVID-19?
Bigger decision than dropping Little Boy on Japan?

It won't stop fascists from trying fascist things, but that's a given, and you just can't be evaluating important decisions based on whatever deranged logic Republicans unmoored from reality are going to throw at you on any given day. They will keep trying no matter what you do, so you should better do your very best at all times.

It's a very good thing to never be the person whose final words are "told you so".
Plus there's no point in engaging with political garbage like centrist extremists, no amount of reason would have sufficed, and every obvious prediction of what would happen when they took every single slippery slope, and every predictably fascist-enabling decision they fought for.
Nobody is so consistently wrong all of the time for so long, unless the outcomes are quite approximately what they aimed for.

Macca appears to have a knock. Scaloni protested a lot about it, but the ref didn't appear to believe him.

Ok apparently there will be football.
Hope the yanks don't treat us to another christofascist sermon again today.
I'm already dreading the yank World Cup.

Although on principle I share the sentiment about the undesirability of violent attacks on any political candidates anywhere, Rep. Brown couldn't be more wrong about this being an attack on democracy.
An attack on a fascist can never be an attack on democracy.

After a spotty penalty shootout routine including a missed one by Lionel Messi, a few misses by Ecuador, and excellent performances by the argie goalkeeper Martinez, Mac Allister's team wins the game and secures its place in the #CopaAmerica semi-finals. We get to see at least 90 minutes more of Macca's show.
Ecuador wasn't a Cinderella at this party, their progress is evident, playing Argentina as peers on their same level; there will be more to hear from them in the World Cup.

Mac Allister's men had a night to forget against Ecuador, drawn 1 - 1 within 97 minutes of a game that could have gone to Ecuador in the final minutes.
It's going to penalties.

So, this is what the most incompetent DNC politicos in history couldn't get done in the US.

@Outersider They negotiate many marginally smaller genocides in clean, progressive, and democratic ways.

Typical of atrocious management practices, rushing garbage out of the door.

An IBM slide from 1979
Replace "computer" with 'billionaire' and you get a fairly approximate explanation of the world we're unfortunately living in right now.
What people colloquially call by the misnomer "the algorithm" is actually *policy* as implemented on behalf of said billionaires.
"AI" doesn't make bad decisions and computers don't make bad decisions. Billionaires make bad decisions, and you make bad decisions.

@jsit@social.coop Mastodon isn't inherently confusing. The president shouldn't rely on Threads for anything, which isn't Masto-related at all. And Masto is not the fediverse, and it bears no relation with Threads, except the little help that Mastodon GmbH gave to Meta for them to get started.
These are things only confusing when people make terrible decisions, like the Biden admin did placing an official account on a proprietary system, and when people conflate unrelated concepts, like you've just done.
