I could hear some guys in my neighborhood outside yesterday talking about how this won’t effect the election. One of them yelled out “Well at least the republicans are the ones with the guns!” Everyone just kinda got quiet and looked at him like he was an idiot.
Remember he’s not the only dangerous one. Every vote counts, and all of them are voting red.
Separately, Salem is also suing its insurer for allegedly failing to cover the costs stemming from Andrews’ lawsuit.
Denying insurance since it was a grift. This is huge news and I’m surprised media isn’t all over it. What better way to discourage fraud than to show people they will be personally or professionally liable.
So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...
Nine days after The New York Times reported about the political symbolism of an upside-down American flag that flew at U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s home, the Washington Post acknowledged it had the same story more than three years ago and decided not to publish it....
Good link, but not complicated. Judges got a pass on reporting before they started making politically-based decisions. Now they are treated like politicians. The only complicated part is the WP had this for 3 years without publishing.
I’ll bite in case this isn’t trolling. They are likely referring to how people, even those who were fairly liberal, made it seem like Bernie was too far out there to be a valid choice for president.
Volume. A long time ago, ten replies was huge, not a thousand.
Join the communities, follow the people, and start conversations where the world is still small, you’ll find what you are looking for.
The filter is your friend, social sites are not the only sites (federated ones included), and there are many destinations to participate as long as you dont hunt for exposure to the masses.
Edit: Friendly reminder that IRC, web comics, and niche forums still exist.

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person’s head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an “anatomical position” or special terminology like in boating for this?...
More than a thousand Harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday to support 13 undergraduates who were barred from graduating after they participated in the Gaza solidarity encampment in Harvard Yard....
Meanwhile, this is Harvard University senior Shruthi Kumar, who went off script as she gave the English commencement address, slamming Harvard for denying the degrees. She read from notes that she pulled out of her graduation gown.
This should get air time. While the others walked out in solidarity together, she’s putting herself on the line individually. It gives administration a name to the crowd.
Soon we’ll get the “buying votes” after the Gaza issues. While I think the administration is doing extra-terrible on that front, this was in motion way before all that bad PR.
