I'd be curious to see footage of the wave, but there's no act of nature (and nothing on earth, really) that would make me want to watch even the briefest clip from a TV newscast.
The Nobles of Iowa moved to blue Minnesota. The Huckinses of Oregon moved to red Missouri. Their separate journeys, five weeks apart, illustrate the fracturing of America.
"Both sides do it, both sides to it," is the mantra of the willfully stupid mainstream press, pretending against all evidence that our problem is 'the rift between left and right' instead of the growth of American fascism. To say plainly that Republicans are lying about everything and advocating policies of hate wouldn't be 'impartial journalism', so they contort the facts into knots to look fair and balanced, instead of reporting the facts.
This article is a fine example, from America's finest practitioner of mainstream and impartial journalism, the New York Times.
One family moved from Oregon to Missouri because they were sick of seeing poor and homeless people. Another family moved from Iowa to Minnesota because Iowa had banned medical care for their son.
These two families are not a matched and balanced set, fodder for a thoughtless think piece. Moving to avoid seeing unpleasant people is not the equivalent of escaping to save your child's life.
Former President Donald Trump railed against President Joe Biden after his administration reversed its policy on building walls on the southern border.
Court documents in the case revealed that Facebook’s parent company Meta supplied police with the private Facebook messages that Celeste and Jessica Burgess had sent one another.
Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Lawyers working with Special Counsel Jack Smith have asked the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's election interference trial to issue a limited gag order, citing statements they say Trump has made "to undermine confidence in and intimidate individuals -- the court, the jury pool, witness and...
Trump is genetically incapable of shutting up, so at last this brings us to the first 'blink' moment in all this: Are they willing to issue and then enforce this rather slight gag order when Trump inevitably breaks it?
Anyone else would've been under a much broader gag order, long ago.
SEOUL, Aug 16 (Reuters) - North Korea concluded that Travis King wants refuge there or in another country because of "inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination" in the U.S. and the military, state media said on Wednesday, Pyongyang's first public acknowledgement of King's crossing from South Korea on July 18.
North Korea seems an odd place to escape to, especially after this poor schmo delivered "a profanity-laced tirade against Koreans." He probably won't be sending post cards to friends and family in America, but what the heck, I sincerely wish him a happy life in his new home.
A home collapsed into a raging river swollen by waters from a glacial dam release north of the state capital of Juneau, the National Weather Service said.
I've probably spent an hour in the past month just trying to login to kbin, clearing site data, refreshing, retrying. I thought the bug was fixed recently but it's worse than ever now....
Kbin does log me out once or twice weekly for no known reason, but I have no difficulties logging in again. You say you've cleared site data — cache and cookie? If you've tried it twice and it hasn't worked, time to open a ticket with the help desk (admins).
Destruction such as this will never again be uncommon.
This as a sneak preview not many years into the future, when there'll be no workable supply chains at all, as climate change wreaks hellish havoc everywhere, consistently.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) leaned in on some of the more salacious issues concerning Hunter Biden in her questioning of IRS whistleblowers who investigated Biden at a House Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday — and brought sexually explicit posters to make her point.
I'm not sure about the procedures when a member of Congress waves photos of someone else's member. Does this mean that imagery of Hunter Biden's privates are not to be part of the Congressional Record?

Has anyone started to create some form of ‘Copy’ Project for Reddit, Not like a clone of the site or something. I’m more thinking of a project that’s goal is to almost duplicate what Reddit currently has on it directly to Lemmy or other Fediverse platforms?
Maybe someone smarter than me can explain things, but It's been about a month since I've started the process of creating a magazine to support the reddit/discord community I've helped mod for the past 4 years... but I've noticed that zero posts show up in google search....
This seems like a roadblock to people discovering any community here. It removes the Reddit effect, where adding 'Reddit' to a search led to non-ad posts with first-person relevance, and eliminates the easiest way for someone who's not part of the federated universe to find the federated universe.
Ah, it appears liberal cis straight white dudes are advocating for freedom of speech for nazis who want to genocide certain minorities again. If you're the type of person who says "I may not agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" I invite you to read up on the paradox of tolerance because saying shit like that is how fascism proliferates. Do you want fascism to proliferate?
In American society, there's significant anti-white racial sentiment within far left circles, usually combined with sexism, and the further left you go, the more extreme it becomes.
I'm, uh, all the way to the left. Go any further left than me, and you've looped around to the right again. Never seen "significant anti-white racial sentiment within far left circles, usually combined with sexism, and the further left you go, the more extreme it becomes."
I ain't doubting that you're a good guy, hope you know.
Closest I've seen to any anti-white sentiment is the (logical, really) concern that some charities and outreach is "too white" for its audience.
False equivalency is something that annoys the bejeebers out of me, and it's often unintentional and comes from good guys. People want to sound reasonable to all listeners, so they mention things like, "all sorts of hate groups on both the right and left."
Still would like an example, a Proper Noun, of a hate group on the left.
