It’s a piefed instance. One of the coolest things about the fediverse is that you can follow from different kinds of platforms, so some folks follow from a mastodon instance, or a sharkey instance, or a pixelfed instance, but they can still participate the same as people on a lemmy instance. Piefed is basically the same ui as you see, with a few minor differences, but some of them get pretty exotic.

Alexi keeps getting play on Fox because he is one of a very small number prominently pro-Trump voices in soccer. There are so many better commentators they could put in there who had great careers with the US and/or in the United States -- Ale Bedoya, Bill Hamid, Diego Valeri, heck I bet even Sam Mewis could learn the boys' names in time -- but they're not white republican men. Watching Telemundo is much more enjoyable.

Anakin would be proud: not just the men, but the women and the children too — Marta is one behind for the women, and the u20 World Cup records are Javier Seviola and Christine Sinclair, both with 11.

I don't have a concrete answer to your question, but it does sound an awful lot like you're getting xckd 2501'd:

I am cynical enough to believe that had fent caused fewer overdose deaths, the DEA would have been more enthusiastic about preventing its distribution and sale.

Argentinians celebrating triumph over their arch-rivals Brazil as Messi takes the record for most World Cup goals from Marta. I think he’d be wise to bank a cushion, because I don’t think she’s going to take that lying down, and the World Cup next year is in Brazil.

You have a sunnier read on the situation than I, which is probably better for your health. For instance, you say:

At first blush, this sounds like the US has committed to giving Iran $300 billion. But from what I’ve heard, this isn’t what’s going on. Instead, what it means is America will no longer stand in the way of private companies and other nations investing in the Iranian economy.

My read is that we've committed to giving $300b to companies owned by Trump and his buddies to claim to build stuff in Iran, which, as we've seen with the reflecting pool bid, will likely be very expensive relative to their actual value delivered.

Also, I'm not sure how well the yellow highlights in the pull quotes on a yellow background reads to low-sight readers. I might run it through an accessibility color checker to make sure you're hitting wcag aa.

The answer to all power scaling questions in comic books is: because the writer thought it'd make a better story.

I'll give you one for free: we get a lot of accounts that are poorly behaved and then get deleted pretty quickly, so be prepared for folks to treat you with a fair measure of skepticism for your first week or so.

Human: I just want my 40+ required hours of work per week to go towards something that will make the world a little better.

Capitalism: the best I can do is literal fraud.

Platforms want you to know which platform and which user the text you’re copy-pasting comes from, so they make it much easier to screenshot the text than copy-paste it. Users encounter this often enough that they don’t even bother on platforms that behave better.

I try to join all of the fediverse services to give em a fair shake. I haven’t tried Helos yet, and I can’t get into the wanderer instance I’m most interested in, but I’ve tried all the big ones: mastodon, loops, pixelfed, bookwyrm, funkwhale, etc. I’m a social media nerd so I like to stay up-to-date on what folks are doing in the space, and the fediverse is the one that most closely aligns with my values.

Just a heads’ up — the majority of accounts that will see this post aren’t from lemmy.world. For example, I’m from feddit.online. Your posts are federated, which means your instance, lemmy.world, passes your post to our instances, where we see them.

You don't have to be born in the United States to be an American. It's like, our whole deal, no matter what those shitty MAGAts tell you. So I think unfortunately we have to claim him.

If you're willing to engage with the analogy of dollars as neurons, what do you think the economy is thinking about?

edit: I like this because if you think of monetary exchange as neuron activation then the mega-rich hoarding wealth is the biggest inhibition to the ability of the economy to think properly, since their money doesn't participate.

I don’t have any idea how competitive the Finnish league is compared to the Pdub, but this sounds good:

The 29-year-old from Helsinki, Finland, is a three-time Olympian and longtime member of the Finnish National Team, winning Olympic bronze in 2018 and competing in the 2014 and 2026 Olympic Winter Games. She has medaled in all three IIHF Women’s World Championships in which she competed, winning bronze in 2015 and 2017, and silver in 2019. Nuutinen has spent the last three seasons with Finland’s Kiekko-Espoo, winning two straight championships and Auroraliiga scoring titles. She posted 63 points (27G, 36A) in 28 regular-season games in 2025-26 and added a playoff-high 25 points (13G, 12A) in 13 postseason contests.
