Deny, deny, deny. Now climate change deniers are doing that even to observable, recordable phenomena, just to avoid the truth of what is happening. This is what's stopping progress towards saving our children's future.

Holy shit so no more Zero Punctuation? He was like half of that channel. Wow this came from nowhere.

Not only the resentment but Israel actually helped their worst elements gain power in order to cause an inner conflict within the Palestinians. They supported Hamas's growth to cause a fissure between them and the PLO.

It's a very insidious way to make the country more like Russia, where there's so much propaganda there is no objective truth, words have no meaning, and rule of law of even more nebulous.

Can they get Twitter, too? Obstruction of justice or messing with evidence or something like that?

Or, this will sound crazy but hear me out, we put a giant ice cube in the ocean.

Inspired by another answer in this thread, Kung Fu Hustle. It's also a pretty good Kung Fu movie, similar to how Shawn of the Dead manages to be both a comedy and a pretty good zombie movie.

Especially when they're in trouble for corruption charges and making sweeping changes to their country's justice system to help themselves at the detriment of their democracy?

The dumb part is that your vote only matters if you live in certain places. Trump and Bush should never have become Presidents in the first place.

If you're a Republican in rural California, it doesn't matter. Nor if you're a young Gem Z Democrat in California who voted after your favorite candidate was already guaranteed. Your vote doesn't help offset a vote in Alabama or Wyoming or whatever for the opposite candidate. Your vote would matter more if you moved to a red or purple state.

We can pretend it's democratic, but for "the land of the free" always talking about trying to spread democracy everywhere, the US is actually a pretty sucky and underwhelming system.

They just don't want Trump to be the only one impeached. They want it to mean nothing, so they're probably going to try impeaching every Democratic President forever now.

I agree, but we can't even fund the fucking government as long as the Republicans control the House.

I thought this was a really well written article actually. Conservatives know what they're doing, they don't need to hear this. They don't care, they just want their religion to be law, and the first amendment to be abolished. Other people need to know what the conservatives are doing so we can fight back against it or at least know they're arguing in court in bad faith.

They worked like an organized crime family. They were focused on secrecy, loyalty, destroyed lots of evidence, broke laws all over the place, and used patsies and "won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest" language all over the place. I'm sure he learned it all from his old buddy Roy Cohn. I hope we saw some consequences from this scum bringing this criminal behavior into the White House so blatantly and messing with our already fragile democracy.

That seems to be the growing consensus on some of the biggest instances. Hopefully they start prioritizing that, or some other nice dev who knows Rust will. Maybe I need to start brushing up on it lol.

According to reports, producers expect writers will run out of money, possibly lose their homes and be forced to come to bargaining table. Producers denied these reports.

That's so horrible, threatening people's homes. Just the fact that they have enough money to try to wait it out while some writers are borrowing suits for their award shows proves the imbalance of profits, and it proves their point: that the studios should be able to pay the creators and workers if they weren't so greedy and paying their execs millions of dollars to remove shows from existence and say they're business geniuses.

Does anyone know if there's a way to donate or support the unions if it ends up coming down to people's homes and stuff being on the line?

The most trolls came from those two instances since they have no criteria to joining and they have so many users, and beehaw prides itself on being a nice, safe space. Lemmy currently doesn't have the moderating tools to empower them to take care of all the new, toxic redditors, but they said they're willing to federate with them when it does, which I'm sure it will eventually.

Exactly. That person should unionize themselves and get that money back instead of complain that others might have a living wage.

Like a multireddit-like ability? I know that would be useful and has been highly requested. I personally would love that function.

It's not like things are sunshines and roses for gay people in liberal western societies. Pride parades started in the US from a riot when they couldn't take it anymore. The UK chemically castrated Alan Turing. Hiding is a good way for the individual to survive, but to forward progress for the group in the future, attention needs to be brought to these issues.

Either she was just unconscious or they are lying. But it seems pointless for the latter since they'd find out eventually, unless they plan on blaming her death on one of the bombs that are being dropped in Gaza. I guess we'll see if the family gets her back.
