Trumps just testing the waters to see which Congressmen are loyal and which he still needs to get some kompromat on, so he’s not stopped when he enacts the real fasc-ie stuff.

When you vote in a Nazi, expect Nazis to be validated.

They aren’t wrong.

Two others were more lightly injured in the struggle that one police source said had broken out around 8:00 am as the teenagers involved were on their way to secondary school.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, in which weapons including the axe, a knife, a samurai sword and baseball bats were used.

Damn. I thought some US schools were rough.

Modern fruit isn’t especially healthy:

At the Melbourne Zoo, the monkeys are no longer allowed to eat bananas. And the pandas are getting pellets instead of plums. In fact, fruit has been phased out completely. That’s because the fruit that humans have selectively bred over the years has become so full of sugar the zoo’s fruitarian animals were becoming obese and losing teeth. -source

I just went for the heavy use of blocking those types, and my experience on here has gotten way better. Otherwise, my user experience was just a fire hose of outrage and performative pearl clutching.

This is like saying 1,000 delusional people endorse Harris. I don’t think it’s the flex they think it is.

If trump actually…shudder…wins, he could do as he’s said and bring down the fascist military hammer on any type of dissidents. These billionaire ghouls don’t care what happens to the country or world, they just care about their hoard.

Linus either makes me think he’s a dick, or he makes me laugh. Sometimes both. I liked his response:

Greg Kroah-Hartman who authored the patch dropping the various maintainers has yet to comment on the mailing list thread, but a few minutes ago Linus Torvalds chimed in with his opinion. Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote:

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

I have a family member who just cancelled their subscription to the LA Times over this. After having been a subscriber for decades and continuing to be a subscriber to “maybe slow the decline of traditional journalism” for the past years since its quality has severely declined, they just said,“Well, that did it.”

The Supreme Court went out of their way to dodge the 14th Amendment question. Both during questioning and in their ruling.

I still don’t get why trump hasn’t been disqualified under the 14th. Pretty fucking clear.

A question and an answer all in one. Rhetorical question?

is unknown as CTE can only be definitively diagnosed after death.

So you didn’t look at the second link, the diagnosed after death part. Which was pretty definitive.

To be fair, I don’t care if grown men want to brain damage themselves. I enjoy watching both boxing and MMA. I don’t think it’s something younger people should be doing though, the head striking at least. At the same time, I’m not going to fool myself that these people I’m watching aren’t damaging their brains.

Hell, I’ve had trouble believing it while living through it.

I guess if you don’t like facts, what you said could be true.

• 345 out of 376 former players have CTE

• … the studies that aim to identify the prevalence of CTE in football players have shown unequivocal findings. In the largest ever case series of CTE, involving 202 deceased former football players, Mez et al. demonstrated the existence of CTE in 87%, including 99% ex-NFL Players

You aren’t practically guaranteed to have life changing injury from skydiving, drinking, or eating. Several studies have shown that over 90% of football players have CTE. It’s not the same, and not a question of moderation.

Republicans hate the Constitution because they hate democracy. So much of their efforts are thrown at suppressing voting.

I hope they give them retail pay for that 8 hour shift as well. Of course they wouldn’t let a retail worker take an 8 hour shift in the offices, but that would be a little interesting. Either way, more companies should do this type of thing.

Oh boo hoo. Sorry I hurt your fee-fees. Go on with your Iranian talking points.
