Why did Al Franken have to resign for a joke photo he took years before he was a senator, but Scott Perry and Ronny Jackson, who participated in or encouraged an armed insurrection to overthrow our democracy, are given seats on the Intelligence Committee?
“It was the worst aggression I’ve been subjected to during my work as a journalist,” Nir Hassoun, Haaretz’s reporter, said after he was beaten harshly by settlers during their annual provocative march in #Jerusalem.
2024 is a mega election year and the EU elections are taking place this week. This is the 2nd largest election in the world - around 350 million people are eligible to vote.
Just like the elections in India and the USA this year - this one is very important for coexistence on our planet. Therefore, we want to use our reach and call on all those who are entitled to vote to make their voice heard.
We must not leave the EU to the far-right parties and must defend our democracies. Please vote.
@warandpeas Modi is already gonna win in India again for the 3rd time now, take of that what you will, it'll make a lot of nationalist Hindus happy, but the muslims in India won't be represented any longer and historically that always spells trouble.
Alex Jones owes Sandy Hook victim's families $1.5 Billion
He hasn't paid the families that he terrorized a dime
This, while he spends roughly $100,000 per month on "personal expenses"
So relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting are asking a bankruptcy judge to liquidate Alex Jones' media company—including Infowars—in order to make him pay up
We investigated performance degradation due to excessive crawling of Codeberg.
We often trace back such things to company websites that proudly list their key investors - but don't actually explain what they are doing (or why they need to crawl Codeberg more excessively than the crawlers of the major search engines combined).
It's probably not a use case we believe in anyway, so we blocked several large IP ranges today.
@Geri A welcomed first to be sure. Let's see how her first year goes before I make any judgements. People can either exceed expectations or toe the line with the elites. Time will tell soon which it may be, but I hope it's for progress because Mexico really needs it.
What if instead of polling, Does Trump's felony conviction make you more or less likely to vote for him?" instead poll, "Does GOP's wholesale attack on rule of law make you more or less likely to vote for it?"
"Does fact Trump found guilty of defrauding university students, charity donors, banks, and NY state make you more or less likely to vote for him?"
"Does fact Trump pardoned Steve Bannon for defrauding his own supporters make you more or less likely to vote for him?"
@pvonhellermannn i mean, there's nothing one single individual like myself can do to stop something that's bigger than all of us (yes I recycle, minimalist lifestyle, etc but that's not enough) and the gov'ts of the world aren't going to save us when they can't even agree on budget bills. It's fucked up from top to bottom. I just want to live my life without being doomed into a horrific depression. Every. Single. Day. I still read the latest updates. But most people just turn it off.
“Defendants in criminal court cases … are to be referred to with their honorific Mr, Mrs or Miss: the newspapers and website should share the court’s presumption of innocence. On conviction they lose the honorific, although if cleared on appeal they reclaim it.” - Telegraph newspaper style guide https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/05/31/trump-guilty-hush-money-conviction-trial-latest/
This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
@pointlessone uBlock Lite for manifest v3 is essentially neutering the ad block extension to be as ineffective as possible. The web as we know it currently can be ad-free with uBO, but in v3, you'll "enjoy" seeing advertisements more and more and more because one of Google's first loves is ad revenue money and they can't have that if we keep blocking it. #Firefox
@GottaLaff "The DOJ can petition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves not as a matter of grace but as a matter of law"
The other seven justices, all of which opposed to accept an ethic/code of conduct, which every other branch abides by, so I won't even hold my breath on this one.
Scientists have figured out why killer whales are smashing up luxury yachts: it’s a new fad among teen orcas. “A combination of free time, curiosity and natural playfulness has led to young orcas adopting this ‘trend’ of boat-bumping.” https://newatlas.com/biology/orcas-killer-whales-boats/
just to let you know, but I've started feeling wrist pains again, so in the meantime I'll do smaller redraws and (maybe) start reposting old things while I recover. Sorry !!
below is an artistic representation of how I'm feeling right now
@anubiarts i got soft tissue damage from ramming my wrist into a marble countertop a year ago. shit still hurts if I lift like anything. it's super annoying feels like bad arthritis and can last for weeks sometimes. feel better tho bro!
I just made a Linux joke without even trying while talking about something entirely different and I have so many questions about my life choices. (The context was that I was informed that the same man is responsible for both unleaded gasoline and cfc based refrigerants, thereby dooming the earth twice, to which I replied, “oh, like how the same guy gave us PulseAudio and systemd?”)
@film_girl i use linux for almost 10 years now and never knew that. i probably should have, but better to learn something new today than never know it at all, thanks yo!
