  • TIL that there's a politician named Harvey Epstein that is unrelated to either Harvey Weinstein nor Jeffery Epstein.

  • Not necessarily relevant to the people mentioned in this post, but broadly speaking, there were lots of immigrants to the US between 1930 and 1950 that very intentionally changed the spelling or pronunciation of their names to look and sound less German and Italian.

  • People are complicated, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around a gay man being a true far-right christian in 2025. There are religions compatible with being LGBT, but it's just hard to reconcile that with modern christo-fascism.

  • My wife will scrub the dishes, then put them in the dishwasher, and not start it because it's not completely full.

    They're already so clean, the next person in the kitchen has a very difficult time telling if it has been run or not. JUST too dirty to eat from again, but also too clean to see at a glance. So annoying. I even got one of those clean/dirty magnets so we can signal to everyone, but then people forget to switch it.

  • "A judge shall not engage in any partisan political activity," Nachtman read.

    Science is non-partisan. Claiming otherwise says more about the science deniers than the folks with a snarky decoration in the yard.

  • What is lemmy doing about bot scrapers?

  • It's weird that this has become such a controversial opinion. The internet is supposed to be open and available. "Information wants to be free." It's the big gatekeepers who want to keep all their precious data locked away in their own hoard behind paywalls and logins.

    If some clanker is going to read my words, it's a very small price to pay for people being able to do the same.

  • Check their account history. They may as well be on an AI company marketing team.

  • Is the US currently in a recession or entering one?

    Jump

  • there isn't technically a recession

    And if the economy were shrinking, would the US government statisticians actually release reliable data that says so?

    You can make just about any mundane fact sound conspiratorial if you leave out the right bits of context.

  • What would a modern "Mac vs. PC" ad look like?

    Jump

  • Close up of a cute puppy named PC, "please pick me."

    Switch to a little kitten named Mac, "no, pick me."

    Zoom out to the full picture, both animals are locked in amazon-branded cages, two greasy thugs watching over them, named Google and Meta: " we don't give a fuck which, but you're going in a cage with one of these two."
