Plenty of them seem to have just memory-holed it. I check on the posts of one very random extreme right winger occasionally, and I'm guessing she didn't like his post because she's posted twice as much today as she usually does. But it's all just her normal talking points: A Bible verse, Mamdani's rent control will hurt poor people, election fraud "pass the save act" reminders, and Obama/Biden/communists open borders child trafficker conspiracies. It's like she's trying to drown out the the information she doesn't want to hear.

They're very effectively siloed off in their social media echo chambers, this is why that 33% support number doesn't move. In my opinion, the number of articles about "they're finally outraged" just lulls people into a false sense of security and obscures actual developments.

I hope Vance is losing a lot of sleep over this.

Damn, that's no exaggeration, I wasn't prepared for the quality of that.

I'm going to have the hook "your government is run by pedophiles, they ordered you to die for Israel" stuck in my head for a while. Those are not words I ever expected would be catchy lyrics, but here we are.

Better quality of nutrition - more protein and vegetables. Much more vegetables. An absurd amount more vegetables.

They also fixed their zinc deficiency, which has long been known to affect height.

But seriously, the vegetables.

Graphs pictured:

• Daily supply of calories that are available for consumption, Measured in kilocalories per person per day. 1985 to 2023
• Estimated share of the total population in each country with zinc intakes below physiological requirements, 1990–2005
• Average daily per capita protein supply, measured in grams of total protein per day, 1985 to 2023
• Average per capita vegetable consumption, measured in kilograms per person per year, 1985 to 2023

a swivel-arm, but the weight of two monitors would be a lot for something like that

I'm still wanting to build a rolling desk myself and have some components already, but you might want this: Humanscale M10. It's pricey but it's the heaviest-load arm on the consumer market. It can take 48lb, and if that's overkill, they have cheaper arms that will carry less. You might find some of the cheaper brands will do what you need without the cost, but I don't have experience with them.

Skip their expensive crossbar adapter though, you can use any much cheaper VESA bracket adapter, you just need the arm itself to be solidly constructed.

The real issue for the design you have in mind though is center of gravity. You're stuck with attaching it to something very heavy and wide. I'm still in the early stages of fixing that problem myself. My solution is likely to involve significant amounts of V slot aluminum profile.

Ableism is also, in my opinion, one of the more insidious types of prejudice because it frequently underpins other forms of discrimination. For example, if you ask someone who is racist why they hate a particular group and it's often because they believe that group is not as intelligent, or because they can't control their emotions or behavior. Those are inherently statements about a group of people's abilities.

We spend a lot of effort dispelling the misconceptions that those groups are less capable, but for some reason there's substantially less effort that goes into dispelling the misconception that someone who is less able to do something is less worthy of human rights.

And that's not to say that individuals who have shown they're genuinely dangerous to others should be allowed to cause more harm, it just means that they should be judged individually based on their individual actions and not treated with cruelty.

Given the aim of the first talk was to agree on "keep talking", that's not a great sign of things to come.

Forget the crusades, I want to see them reconcile with child abuse and smuggling fascists through the WW2 Ratlines.

A republished Reuters piece with no indication they're a "content partner" of Reuters. This is either plagiarism or a propaganda campaign.

So I'm going to repost my comment on the other link too:

Khamenei's face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader's compound in central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said... The 56-year-old is nonetheless recovering from his wounds and remains mentally sharp... He is taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and is engaged in decision-making on major issues including the war and negotiations ‌with Washington...

Ok.

The question of whether Khamenei's health allows him to run state affairs...

You just said he was already working. What question? How would 6 week old facial and leg injuries prevent him from running state affairs?

Writing an article about how Iranian society is responding to largely invisible leadership is fine, but that's only very briefly mentioned at the end of the article. The rest of the article is a whole lot of words to only say "we don't know much about him".

This is just ableist JAQing off.

Oh, that's very interesting. If that's true, someone should tell Kimberly-Clark's insurers that they deliberately shut off fire suppression during a fire. Maybe this will actually cost them a few dollars?

I'm glad nobody was hurt, he waited until after midnight to set it. But maybe someone needs to call the fire marshals on the Kimberly Clark warehouses. I can hear a fire alarm at the end, and I'm no fire safety engineer, but it doesn't look like there are signs of sprinklers or other fire suppression systems?

Let's not gloss over this part:

...that the Department of Homeland Security had also posted a few hours earlier.

It's all fucked up. I can only hope Easmin's family sues and get a massive payout for the extra trauma inflicted by having this tragedy exploited for political purposes by both DHS and Trump. Truly ghoulish.
