It's not going to be sustainable if the population feels this way. To continue the war someone else will need to be sent in, or it will be ended.

US Is Now Calling González the President-Elect of Venezuela

The Biden administration is beginning to refer to Edmundo González Urrutia as Venezuela’s president-elect, a senior administration official said, its strongest acknowledgment yet that that the opposition candidate won July’s presidential election.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told partners about the decision in a meeting yesterday at the Group of 20 meetings in Rio de Janeiro, the official said. While the US and other countries have previously concluded that González had more votes than incumbent strongman Nicolás Maduro, the Biden administration hasn’t gone as far as using the term “president-elect” until now.

The move is designed to increase pressure on Maduro, who has claimed he won the election without providing proof. Referring to González as president-elect doesn’t mean that the US will eventually call the opposition figure the “rightful president” after inauguration day Jan. 10, when Maduro expects to be sworn in. That term that was applied unsuccessfully to another opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, in a failed attempt to remove Maduro from power under the previous Trump administration.

President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to office in the US on Jan. 20.

I'm concerned that something is going to happen there. Eritrea joining the whole Somalia debacle will likely mean hostility with Ethiopia.

Wapo taking an interest in Eritrea?

Sure it wasn't caused by some sort of coverage they got during the election?

This still wouldn't cause people to come and do it without an actively push to do it. By-elections get like 10%-30% turnout because they're not part of largescale media about an election day occurring and a major push to drive people to go and vote.

Put it in an app without a specifically scheduled day and the participation would plummet.

That's a very solid bluesky spike what happened in Oct and Nov to cause it?

If this were true ai books wouldn't be a huge miss that are achieving absolutely nothing, and ai games, and ai video, and so on.

The people that like this stuff are the people engaging with making it. Everyone else is saying "oh, ai" and moving on swiftly.

Freak instances of high quality content get some popularity for being unusually good, the reason they occur is because the rest is viewed as being notoriously shit. Those good ones have value because they are novel, they will not always be novel, when they are no longer novel then their value or interesting-ness falls off a cliff.

I am a lifelong Republican who has long placed service and participatory democracy over party.

Dumbass doesn't know what participatory democracy is, which america very much is not.

that is a roaring alligator man actually

if you don't have a set time to do the voting then most people will never bother to change their vote

The tv channels are gonna get a shock when everyone tunes out because they do not want to watch the AI slop.

They think they can do this, but people do NOT like AI slop at all. People don't find it valuable and don't feel like their time is being well spent by watching something that someone else couldn't be bothered to make.

There is a very real calculation of value humans do internally and its basically "this thing is worth the labour someone put into it" and since there is no labour put into producing AI slop the vast majority of people value AI slop as fucking worthless.
