Yup. Global Warming is literally burning and flooding people to death, but political leaders and citizens are focussed on UFOs and aliens. Where are the hearings on how the oil industry knew this was happening and covered it up? If you are looking for a conspiracy to hide something huge from the world, that would be a good place to start.
One thing I love about the GOP is to see them constantly abandon their pawns. Kim Davis, Joe the Plumber, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc.... All of these people were mainstage for their 15 minutes of fame and the moment the GOP had wrung them out for all the outrage bait they can generate, they get left in the deep end to fend for themselves.
Georgia will likely run into more problems like this. Their RICO case against Trump and his gang of bandits is massive, involving 19 defendants charged with racketeering, 41 predicate offences split across the 19 defendants in order to prove they were involved in racketeering. Not every predicate offence involves every defendant. Most of these predicate offenses involved many more people than the 19 defendants and happened entirely outside of Georgia. Several of the predicate offenses focus on speech and political activities which is going to be incredibly difficult to argue isn’t protected by the first amendment.
This case is massive and messy which means it’ll probably be a very long time until it ends.
Julian Assange, in addition to being a rapist, is objectively pro-Putin and pro-authoritarian. To be pro-Putin is also to be very anti–free press. He’s absolute garbage and these people are begging for his freedom? I’m so very glad nobody of consequence in the US government has any sympathy for this guy. If he hadn’t spent nearly a decade on the lam, he might already be finished with his US prison sentence, assuming he was convicted. Of course if he hadn’t waited out the statute of limitations, he’d also have to serve his Swedish rape prison sentence. At any rate, nobody should advocate for him except his own lawyers. These Australian politicians are throwing away their own dignity to appeal to the laziest, most insufferably ignorant of their constituents.
Yeh ffs I hate this kind of prodding by self proclaimed social justice warriors in a context where it has no sense whatsoever. It makes them look stupid, and diminishes the issue in places where it actually is an issue.
Mikklesen response:
"Well, first of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s. We do have a big plotline about a girl of color who is being subjected to racism, which was very rare, any people of color in Denmark… almost nobody. She was probably at the time the only one in the entire country of Denmark.”"
Diversity shouldn't be a pre-requisite for a story.
It takes place in 2023 New York? Cool, there should be diversity.
It takes place in, say, 1450 Saigon? Diversity would look artificial and out of place.
Ah yes, just in time to fuck up the recipes even more through cost cutting!
Not to say that the original Twinkie recipe wasn’t just some kind of industrial waste, but you get my drift. These kind of buyouts literally never result in a higher quality product. It’s just one more thing for J.M. Smucker to drive into the ground for profit.
Easier to track worker productivity (this is actually wrong, is significantly easier to track productivity done remotely, but management has lost out on traditional visual cues for productivity)
These corporations either own the real-estate, so having them empty greatly reduces the value, or are tied into long term leases they can’t get out of.
Mandating a RTO is also an easier way to offload staff without doing layoffs, as many will just leave.
It’s easier for people in positions of upper management to “build work culture” and “team development”
None of this are valid to you, but I imagine this type of thinking makes sense to management
#4 is difficult to quantify, so it's probably the one they feel the strongest about. I also frequently hear from people who prefer working in an office (they exist) that if you need someone, you can just walk over to their desk and ask them for help rather than trying to get a hold of them via IM. In my experience, that person is at lunch or in a conference room somewhere, so you're leaving an IM for them anyway.
Regardless of any wrongdoing that occurred during the animal trials, the way that Musk is marketing this and talking about it on X concerns me deeply.
It seems genuinely irresponsible to hype up a medical technology like this when it appears that the animal trials (and the implanted device itself) were not safe and effective.
I really hope the FDA did their due diligence when they cleared the device for human trials. The consequences of not doing so would be devastating for those affected by quadriplegia and ALS and who start experiencing unwanted side effects of implantation or device malfunctions.
The big addition in this edition is a rebuilt search facility. That matters, because it’s something users expect to just work. Mastodon 4.2 has therefore made it possible to search for users using by words in their bio and their names. “The most exciting news is that for the first time, you can now search for posts,” Rochko wrote
That’s the main point of the article. Damn, when did clickbait become so ubiquitous?
I live in Texas and there are so many small towns that seemed to have forgotten trees exist outside of the trees planted in a private yard. I have only lived in Dallas as far as bigger cities go, but the trees are mostly located in the richer/older neighborhoods. Trees planted next to the curb and cared for by the city are almost non-existent.
So I got in an argument with a friend who thinks govt is useless. This is exactly the kind of source I’ve been looking for. Where do you keep up with official announcements like this?
I have a particular interest in the heat-island effect so this kind of stuff is always on my radar. This one specifically however I stumbled upon by chance.
As for your friend, I don’t know if it is only a change once I got older, but you will almost never be able to change your friend’s mind. I’ve had conversations along those lines with libertarians many times and there is a distinct lack of logic when discussing government. It’s not worth your time. I may be a bit exhausted by politics after the last eight years.
