Going to be real, the hate towards this guy reaches a level of engagement that is only possible because of racist hysteria and I know this is the case because I regularly see 40-50 year old white men, on this website included, who feel obliged to pass judgement on him regularly.
streamer discourse is near uniformly ridiculous, but it does appear that Hasan Piker did not shock his dog youtu.be/XZU2qy3CRk0...

SHIVERS - In a little alley next to Boogie street, a man in stained overalls steps out of a workshop for a cigarette. His hands are bruised and soaked with motor oil and dirt. He breathes smoke out of his nostrils and closes his eyes. The next five minutes are his and his alone.

They just saw a brown guy on a bike and decided to try and kidnap him. These people need to be treated like they’re the gestapo.

My essay "Money is a thing: coins and bills in late medieval Europe" is now out in the Research Handbook on Law and Political Economy. This is a relatively concise statement of the numismatic (i.e. anti-chartalist) view of medieval European money. I hope it's of interest and use.

UN official says Israel's "deliberate shooting" of the single building where a fertility clinic was "immediately reminded me of the Rwanda genocide where I was a judge and where they ripped the bellies of pregnant women, pulled out the fetuses because they wanted to kill off the entire Tutsi group."
Remarkably blunt words from United Nations officials who just declared Israel is committing genocide:
"Gaza will be with me for the rest of my life."
"Netanyahu, like everything he says, is simply lying."
"The treatment of children, the amputation without anesthetic…That will haunt me forever."
