dingus, in Cough syrup killed scores of children. Why no one has been held to account?

Because capitalism never pays for externalities.

This man is my hero. I would love to see piers anthony do something similar in his will at least.

DrYes, in Judge delays trial for Trump, others in Georgia 2020 election prosecution

Guys, do we really need clickbait headlines from poor sources like politico?

JWBananas, in Carrefour puts ‘shrinkflation’ price warnings on food to shame brands
@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

Infant formula! They shrunk infant formula!

That is unbelievably dangerous.

HubertManne, in "We can’t afford to have children:" low pay and a high-pressure environment drive exodus of US wildfire fighters
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

Honestly what jobs can afford to have children. You have to be doing pretty well to have them without public assitance nowadays.

fiat_lux, in Far-right fanatic given 17 years for role in Brazil coup attempt

I don't speak Portuguese, but this article just says he was a sanitation worker who stormed the government buildings with others, it doesn't say if he did any specific organisation or violence.

Compare and contrast that 17 years sentence with the sentences of ~5 years Jan 6th US rioters have received, because it's almost the exact same situation. Very interesting.

discosage, in US launches $1bn tree-planting scheme to mitigate effects of climate crisis

Too little too late

HeartyBeast,

Not if you are looking at mitigating heat in cities. A 6ft tree will be giving a decent amount of shade after 5 years' growth if you pick the right species. The trick is looking after them.

That is the trick. I unfortunately see a lot of spots in our downtown area that had a tree at one point that never got replaced. I don’t really understand why a Texas city wouldn’t want trees all over the place.

Not to say they aren’t doing some things with trees right. Dallas does have a lot of green space and the new parks in and around downtown do have a lot of trees. We just have to wait to see what is still there in 20 years.

To add a little more on to this, the following (short!) video really shows you how trees can make a difference:

TopShelfVanilla, in "It serves no purpose, it is unjust:" 63 Australian politicians urge US to let WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walk free

He embarrassed them. It will never happen.

exscape, in Elizabeth Warren Demands Probes of Elon Musk, SpaceX After Ukraine Revelations

But Putin said he's an outstanding person!

girl, in A Decongestant in Cold Medicines Doesn’t Work at All, an F.D.A. Panel Says. The panel’s vote tees up a likely decision by the agency on whether to essentially ban the ingredient, phenylephrine.

I must be a placebo effect case lol. I use phenylephrine HCl and it seems to keep me clear usually. If I forget it I spend the entire day sniffling or completely clogged. Though it only works if I’m well hydrated, it will actually make it worse if not.

style99, in U.S., abortion rights group sues on behalf of women denied care in emergencies
@style99@kbin.social avatar

Anti-choice = anti-God

These despicable "pro-life" scumbags don't know what they're messing with.

Quexotic,

There’s a counter argument to that, something that echos in my head when I think about the shit they do:

The cruelty is the point™

Anticorp,

Ya know, I’ve never thought about that before, but free will is a central theme throughout Christianity. It’s used to explain away all the evil in the world and the story of Adam himself. You could even say it’s a core fundamental belief of the religion.

Snorf,

Also, the ability to be “absolved” of all bad choices. You get to say sorry. As long as you do that before you die, then you’re all good.

If they really believed all of this, then the “would be child” is safe from damnation and the mother can say sorry.

I do not believe this and do not think a person should feel bad about taking necessary steps to protect their lives.

bedrooms, in Food Can Be Literally Addictive, New Evidence Suggests

You talk like I can stop eating doughnuts.

Mellow12, in Mads Mikkelsen Dismisses Questions About Lack of Diversity in 'The Promised Land' (Video) - TheWrap

Danish director Nikolaj Arcel’s period epic set in 18th-century Denmark

How diverse was 18th century Denmark?

CookieJarObserver, in Red fire ant colonies found in Italy and could spread across Europe, says study
@CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works avatar

Fast! Get the poison!

Pantoffel, in China’s Gen Z Spend More on Leisure and Travel Despite Low Employment

It’s somewhat relieving to see Chinese are struggling with similar issues as Germans. It takes the pain a bit. However, driven by a different factor. Here it’s housing prices and inflation. There it’s jobs.
