A key witness against former President Donald Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after he switched lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a new court filing....
The 1980s brought rising poverty, unemployment, gang activity, drugs & violent crime to the poorer neighborhoods of Los Angeles, CA. Repeated violent encounters between police officers and civilians led many minority communities to believe that LAPD brass were not holding officers accountable, Thus, the stage was set for one of the most significant civil uprisings in American history.
In the 1980s, Angelenos were no strangers to excessive law enforcement actions, which set the stage for the Rodney King beating. Noteworthy incidents preceded this infamous event.
In 1988, Chief Daryl F. Gates of the Los Angeles Police launched "Operation Hammer," a series of sweeps through gang-occupied areas of South Central Los Angeles.
Then, on August 1, 1988, a group of eighty Los Angeles police officers acted on a tip and descended upon four apartments near Thirty-ninth Street and Dalton Avenue, which were suspected to be crack cocaine houses controlled by gangs.
They vandalized property, demolished furniture, shattered windows, and even left pro-police graffiti on an exterior wall.
Menschen, die mich kritisieren, weil sie meinen meine Umfragen wären langweilig und dann mich sofort blocken, weil ich sage, dass ich jetzt deren Tröts auf Langweiligkeit überprüfe...alles kleine Memmen...

However, hardly anyone will stop #Elmo from doing what he set out to do, burning billions in the process.
He is on target, IMO, but this will, as explained, facilitate the job of a non-GQP DOJ from 2025 onwards.
I foresee a huge chunk of right-wing users switching to #Bluesky after #X.
Some people dig their own graves.
BTW, I am not sure if #EU#GDPDR doesn’t prohibit him from doing it in that jurisdiction, but that will not have much impact on US users, I guess.
@DarkestKale@worthlessbums@Supervinh47 If I were writing a social interaction system WHICH I AM NOT I'd want a whole lot of situational modifiers. Not just "did you do the thing well" but "did you do the right thing" - this guy can't look weak in front of his gang, so if you try to strong-arm him he won't back down, but he's not loyal so if you offer something to his advantage in return for the favour that'll be just fine.
@RogerBW@worthlessbums@Supervinh47 This is where L5R's ring system is good - like, this guy won't respond well to PASSION (fire ring) or tricksy bullshit (air ring), but he'll be alright if you make a good, reasoned argument (earth ring)
For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what’s stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?
Rudy Giuliani is staring down hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills and sanctions amid numerous lawsuits in addition to the new criminal charges – related to his work for Donald Trump after the 2020 election.
@KentuckyConjurer I don't have an answer right now because I have to think about my limited slice of experience. But it is a thought provoking question.
@KentuckyConjurer as a member of an old mystery tradition, my opinions are fairly hard-lined. I don't think that merging New Age thought and traditional witchcraft is possible without losing the principles that underpin witchcraft. it is not true that everything is love and light; it is not true that we don't deserve to be feared by those who take away the choices of others.
I use my desktop PC for Jellyfin and torrenting, but I’m looking for something that I can keep on 24/7 that draws less power and run other self-hosted services on Linux. I would like to have at least 2x 14 TB 3.5" hard drives in or attached to it with the possibility of expanding in the future....
Well I’m hopping around… again. I thought I had a good stable setup going but then something happens upstream that goes against what I want/believe in (looking at you RedHat) and I’m back on the hunt again....
