From the article:
the role of monarch is not hereditary: The successor is determined by tribal representatives from across the nation.
The ceremonies took place in Tūrangawaewae Marae on the North Island, which is the seat of the Maori King movement.
The political institution developed in the 1850s, when Maori tribes decided to unify under a single sovereign in the face of an influx of British settlers and demand for their land, as well as broader political marginalization.
Today the role of the Maori monarch is largely symbolic. As a former British colony and current member of the British Commonwealth, New Zealand’s official monarch is King Charles.
So I don't think this is monarchy in the way that you are thinking. The "Maori Monarch" is more of a political leader than anything, so in a US context, it's kind of like the NAACP selecting a new president.
“One of the most important things we need to do as a country as we begin to rebuild our politics is we need to elect serious people,”

it's sounding more and more like they should have...
100%. It's made me rethink all of my support for the remaining members of the band. This choice aside: if they truly respected Chester's legacy, why not rename the band? You can still play a Linkin Park song or two at shows for your new band, no one will care. To me, all of this just smacks of "Mike Shinoda and friends didn't want to set aside the fame and album and ticket sales that come from having the Linkin Park name." It feels like they spent seven years honoring Chester's legacy so fans wouldn't revolt when they replaced the irreplaceable.
I'm not saying any of that is necessarily true, but the air of deception around this move makes one start to wonder if they have been deceived in other ways.
This was a great read! This was actually a local race near me, and I didn't pay THAT much attention because it isn't in my actual district, but I remember hearing about the race with one guy that was an "internet microcelebrity".
Sounds like Sony finally has their very own Mario game! I hope Sony leans into this side of their portfolio in the future. And more selfishly, I REALLLY hope this one comes to PC
can someone ELI5 what this is, exactly? A program to run on your computer that helps out the Internet Archive? How exactly is it helpful for the Internet Archive?
That statement was my attempt to summarize a chunk of the article, and was not my own analysis. From my perspective, I will say that I understand that there are parts of the world that don't have access to PS5 games or whatever. However, I don't think that this market is going to massively shift at any time in the next decade, because that would mean a shift of the entire socio-economic balance of the world. As much as I would love to see the Global North take a backseat while other nations rise, I think it's fair for an analyst to assume that this is not going to happen.
i can't tell if you are being sarcastic and i'm missing the joke, or if you are actually trying to be sympathize with Taco Bell
