politics @lemmy.world•Former intelligence officer claims KGB recruited Trump
233·9 months agoHe has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.
He’s extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it’s pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

World News@lemmy.world•Mexico's president warns U.S. against invading to fight cartels after Washington designates them as terrorist groupsEnglish
801·9 months agoSo from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:
Greenland
Panama
Gaza
Canada
Ukraine
MexicoDid I forget any? I realize the U.S. has one of the biggest militaries in the world, but I think maybe he’s going to stretch them a bit thin?

14·9 months ago“Voice acting as a profession just doesn’t pay,” she said.
True in the U.S. too, as I know from personal experience. And becoming even less true with AI voices that can realistically simulate emotional inflections. Basically, except for a very small number of people, VO is a side gig.

World News@lemmy.world•Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'English
159·9 months ago25 people have upvoted this bigoted bullshit.
This is why I will always be labeled a Zionist no matter what I say or do. It doesn’t matter how much effort I have put into trying to stop this genocide or how much I condemn Israel… nothing I ever say or do will be enough because I happened to be born from certain parents.
I also never call anyone a goy, or consider myself chosen. Again though, that doesn’t matter. To at least 26 people on Lemmy. Probably far more.

71·9 months agoI am a Jew. I have never supported Israel and I have always condemned it.
That never seems to matter though. To people like you, I’m genetically a Zionist.
