Hey, he showed a bunch of manilla folders with stacks of papers that were totally not blank props and lied about divesting or whatever from his private companies that were a clear conflict of interest thrpighout his presidency. That totally counts!

What a load of bullshit.

It is a new level of a news organization directly acknowledging how much word salad he spews instead of treating it as normal.

possibly by 2040-50 home schooling via ai tools will be a more common option than other forms of education.

Taught by nuclear powered robots and we will get around in flying cars and have transporter technology and the future will be predicted through quantum computing and someone will have figured out how to heat up a hot pocket that doesn't burn the roof of your mouth.

Honestly the best thing for people to keep in mind is that humans were really good at moving giant stones long distances at that point in time so they could come from pretty much anywhere. There is a video on Easter Island statues where they figured out a way to walk the statues down to the water's edge matching oral tradition descriptions and there is a guy who moves huge blocks multi ton around with a similar technique.

When people did it full time for generations I bet they had even better techniques!

While I love the detail and clarity of your posts, it is getting depressing seeing just how little actual progress has been made on holding him accountable.

Keep up the good work so if anything actually happens we will have a reminder that there was something.

His hat literally says Stay Puft. Michelin Man does not have a hat or any clothing.

That is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, not Michelin man.

The news loves to focus on individual Israeli hostages and victims by providing backgrounds and what they do for a living, but for the most part just lists Palestinian deaths by numbers and only occasionally includes names or family relationships.

There is one news agency, I think the BBC, which used the phrase "unprecedented attack" to refer to the Oct atrocity that kicked off the current hostilities but doesn't use any similar phrasing for the IDF killing many times more civilians as a response. So apparently genocide doesn't need called out in a similar fashion because it is apparently not unprecedented.

No we fucking don't all have a nazi in us. We all have a thing (fear response) that nazis and other authoritarian propaganda love to take advantage of.

I know that the person who said this was trying to get that point across, but decided to go for shock value over clarity.

This is something that I couldn't find an obvious setting for, but someone pointed out that the descriptions are different on different instances.

This post has a German (?) description on midwest.social, but on programming.dev it's in English.

In my settings:

  • Interface language is Browser Default.
  • Languages has Undetermined and English selected

All other descriptions on posts are in English, only youtube seems to be different.
