  • 'Time for action': Republicans beg Trump to use obscure law to deport Democratic candidate

    Jump

  • “The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York," the post read.

    Right, so now Republicans love New York? Feckless twats.

  • Stephen Miller Has Financial Stake in Palatir, ICE Contractor

  • I honestly don’t think profit is his motive. It’s more of a side bet.

    Hurting people is his motive. His big payoff is feeling in control of someone else’s pain.

  • Elon Musk Is Playing God | The tech billionaire wants to shape humanity’s future. Not everyone has a place there.

    Jump

  • He recently posted a totally real /s drug test result showing he’s not on any drugs.

    Of course, it makes explaining his behavior really difficult.

  • How did you fuck up recently?

  • Did you you notice the second "you" in the title of this post? How do you feel about (not) noticing it?

  • Why can I can smell this photo?

  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

  • Negatively: Almost any clothing with more than a couple words of text.

    Clothing with a prominent brand.

    Clothing with right-wing political connotations.

    Dyed blonde hair or hair dyed brown/black that should, obviously, be gray.

    Tramp stamps. Japanese writing tattoos on non-Japanese. Face tattoos. Neck tattoos. Tattoos of pop culture themes.

    Expensive cars. Dodge pickup-trucks. Harley Davidson motorcycles. Dodge Chargers. Teslas.

    Police officers.

    Positively: Normal clothing. Well-dressed but obviously not expensive clothing. ‘Funky’ style clothing. Clothing that would just look stupid on me.

    Wildly dyed hair. Subtlety dyed hair that isn’t covering something up.

    Tattoos that are, at least, fairly unique.

    Glasses. (I don’t know, I’m prejudiced for people with glasses.)

    Old women.

    I could probably come up with a lot more. We’re all prejudiced in some way. It’s the things that we’re prejudiced about and how attached we are to those prejudices that define us.

  • Analysis: Obama’s awkward call for a broad-scale Trump resistance

    Jump

  • he could have rolled back everything Bush did. The Afghanistan invasion, the extraordinary rendition, the "enhanced interrogation", the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act. He could have ended all of those.

    • The USA was already heavily bogged down in Afghanistan when Obama took office. He could not have simple pulled out. Look at all the shit Biden took when he did after involvement had already been scaled back.
    • Obama did end torture at Guantanamo.
    • American Presidents don’t have the power to repeal laws.

    Obama wasn’t perfect—not even great. But, those are weird things to lay on him.

  • Trump is ‘losing confidence’ in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says

    Jump

  • Read up on her and her family’s history. She’s had ties to Putin going way back.

    Either she’s impartial or doing Putin’s bidding. If you know anything about her, impartiality is not her thing. Her history with Russia strongly suggests the latter.

  • Trump is ‘losing confidence’ in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says

    Jump

  • Pretty sure Gabbard is in Putin’s pocket. Putin doesn’t want Israel to attack Iran.

    The people that have Trump’s ear are accelerationists and Dominionists. They want Israel at war with Iran and probably others.

    Trump is still a Putin toady but Putin doesn’t have the people in place to whisper into Trump’s ear. He’s under the spell of the Thiels and Voights.

  • In your opinion, what is the purpose of a legal system? And do you think that the legal system in the country you live in fulfills this purpose?

    Jump

  • It’s a question that’s been considered over and over again throughout history by academics and philosophers. There’s well-researched books on the topic by experts.

    Asking Lemmy is like asking some random person on the street what this whole quantum mechanics thing is about.

    You could read up on the subject and discuss particulars with other people interested in the topic. It’s not a subjective question to drop on a bunch of random doom scrollers.

  • Isn't Lemmy a treasure-trove for AI scrapers?

    Jump

  • Have you seen the quality of the comments and posts? It’s mostly pointless garbage spewing—yes, myself included. I’m convinced that part of the reason LLMs can be so bad at times is that they are fed on random peoples’ boredom and doom posting.

    Sure, there’s some quality posts occasionally. Sometimes people have interesting, worthwhile discussions. But, like Reddit before it, most of the posting is memes, snark and venting. It’s not good content on average. If LLMs are training on barely-moderated forums, they are not getting a good education.

  • TIL the first ever internet café had to buy its domain name from the Amish

  • In their homes they can’t have technology but go out back to the massive pole barns where they build gazebos and sheds and you’ll see plenty of electric tools and other tech.

    Not sure if that would extend to computer tech, though.

  • ICE Protests Pop Up on Roblox as Kids Organize Virtual Demonstrations: 'FRICK ICE'

    Jump

  • Dude, is it your CAPS LOCK that’s broken or your brain? Stop.

  • Netanyahu tells ABC he's not ruling out taking out Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

    Jump

  • Assuming by ‘us’ you mean Americans, I think a foreign war might actually erode a significant part of Trump’s base.

  • Trump orders ICE vengeance on ‘No Kings’ protest cities

    Jump

  • That’s got Stephen Miller’s fingerprints all over it.

  • How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

    Jump

  • Yes, but this will also call emergency services after, I think, ten seconds.

    Make sure you cancel that call right away unless you actually need them.

  • How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

    Jump

  • Yes, that’s why they are protesting.

  • How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

  • You should probably leave your own phone at home when you do. You don’t want the burner phone and your own showing up on the same towers at the same time. Turn the burner completely off when near home or your personal phone.
