Sigh. Another trial down the drain.

“Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News said Tuesday they have reached a confidential settlement over a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet’s lies about the 2020 election.”

@GottaLaff They do this because they know they can't defend against the defamation, and it's cheaper than going to trial and getting slammed with a jury award they couldn't possibly afford to pay.

Sherlock Holmes not only was a cocaine addict, he was a dealer, too.
What do you think those "Baker Street Irregulars" were doing, anyway? Dealing for him!
Moriarty was his enemy because he was his competition.

Are we watching the modern monarchy crumble? There's something about all this that feels like pre-World War 1 empire collapse. Where are we in our historical bingo card?

@RickiTarr The old guard is being eclipsed by the new plutocracy, where money is all that matters, because it buys so much and so many people lust after it.

fmhilton,
@fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@RickiTarr No, but it's becoming the only thing for most people.
And that's worrisome-when money outstrips everything else in life it makes life a sad existence for those who never get enough.

The best thing that can happen right now is for the Israeli people to demand that Netanyahu resign or else face a regional war that nobody wants or needs.
Because if it had not been for him, this entire affair would probably not have happened.

Sometimes you realize what a dirty gossip you are, I saw this pop up on YouTube, and thought, "Yeah baby, tell me that Filthy Yarn Scandal."

Y'all I don't knit, I'm not involved in this, but now I kind of want to be. Please everyone guess what the drama is!

@RickiTarr I didn't realize that yarn had a dark, seamy underside.

It is now illegal to have a paramilitary group or organize one in the state of Maine.

I don't get the genre of T-shirts and bumper stickers that are Wives proud of their husband's jobs.

@RickiTarr I don't either. What about husbands doing the same.."Proud husband of a doctor" "Proud husband of a housewife"?

fmhilton,
@fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@RickiTarr And what about this one, then: "Proud spouse of a feminist"? That's pretty non-work.

The Florida Supreme Court has overturned the 6 week abortion law and at the same time, allowed a constitutional amendment enshrining abortion to go to the voters.
I hope to god the women just swamp this so the Republicans will drown.

Nothing?

Anything over 0 is true speculation because Trump Media lost $58 m in 2023:

" Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group disclosed Monday that it lost more than $58 million and generated very little revenue in 2023.'

@LeftistLawyer Modern economics is literally making the justification for slavery and poverty at the expense of human capital for the few who own property and have power.
A good example of that was the recent (yesterday) article the NY Times did on the sugar fields of India and how Coke & Pepsi, as well as the Indian government, prove this theory:

How very convenient:
The judge who ruled to restrict an abortion medication is married to the woman who belongs to the group that brought the case.
It's called corruption and he's in line for a SC seat if Trump wins?

Can someone please explain why, on a planet with 5 billion too many people and , declining birthrates are a problem?

I'm at a loss.

fmhilton,
@fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@LeftistLawyer Because the governments, billionaires and corporations need more bodies to sell more products to-and you will find that nobody in those three areas gives a shit about climate change and they're the ones denying/encouraging it. They're actually destroying the world for their ends but blaming us for not having enough babies to use in doing it.

fmhilton,
@fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@kolya @LeftistLawyer Which is why the rise of the anti-abortionists, christian nationalism is also all tied into this conversation of how many people need to have babies. American women are the main target because they're the most visible of 'women's lib' and thus the easiest one to attack with laws that keep their wombs and lives in cages. Also no divorce allowed, etc. All are on the agenda. Women are chattel.
