BassTurd , in Students Storm Out Of Jerry Seinfeld's Commencement Speech At Duke

Jerry is nothing more than Larry David's creation and a cunty boot licker. His stand-up has always sucked. I have no idea what people ever have liked about him specifically.

I wish more kremlin-backed politicians were referred to as kremlin-backed in contexts where it's clearly relevant.

I fucking hate Mike Johnson. He's a creepy Christian Nationalist who has no business guiding public policy.

I hate MTG and Matt Gaetz even more though, and they may not even know what public policy is.

admiralteal ,

MTG didn't entirely lose in this whole debacle, either. She now gets to point to Johnson and say "See, he's with the Democrats". That'll be super useful to her in campaigns and all that kind of shit.

I doubt that was her intention -- she doesn't strike me as a person having intentions beyond the most superficial ones -- but she's definitely enough of an opportunist to make hay with it now that it's worked out this way.

The dems backing Johnson was a cynical move. It was a nasty piece of business. But that deal was to get aid to Ukraine, and that's a deal I'll take. And hey point, it may be the end of Johnson's career, getting all those democratic "votes of confidence". Unfortunately, his replacement would doubtless be an even more creepy little gremlin.

floofloof , in The US isn’t just reauthorizing its surveillance laws – it’s vastly expanding them | Caitlin Vogus

In arguing for the reauthorization of Section 702 late last year, Turner, chair of the House intelligence committee, shockingly suggested in a closed-door briefing that the law could be used to spy on Americans protesting against the war in Gaza.

The spying law is messed up, but it's also really messed up how many Western countries are trying to make it impossible for people to criticize the actions of Israel's government.

charonn0 , in Live updates: Supreme Court arguments on January 6 rioters case
@charonn0@startrek.website avatar

A decision against the government could reopen some 350 cases in which defendants have been charged with “obstructing” an official proceeding by pushing their way into the Capitol in 2021. The charge can tack up to 20 years onto a prison sentence.

SCOTUS should be careful. Otherwise the next violent mob might be coming for them.

Canukster , in Hurricane season set to be the most active on record

A lot of people blame climate change on fossil fuels but they are only one part of climate change... Forests cool the atmosphere and removing vasts of it to build cities cause the climate in the region to become hotter. Do it enough and then it spreads all over. California was bulldozed for land development and the Red woods dug their roots up to a mile into the earth to find water when the water supply dried up. Climate change and all we do to cause it, causes all the problems.

Bytemeister , in Condemned inmate Brian Dorsey could face surgery without anaesthesia if vein is elusive

That fucking dumb. It's not humane in the slightest.

Why not have a backup method, like the spike that shoots into the skull and injects high pressure air to scramble the brain? Could be done in a millisecond, death would occur before the brain had any time to register pain.

Or let them live another day and then randomly fill their room with nitrogen while they sleep.

Or better yet, just let them die of old age. It costs less than putting them to death anyway.

livus , in What World Central Kitchen does and why the attack that killed 7 volunteers in Gaza matters

Since then, WCK has organized food relief operations in the wake of disasters — both human-made and natural — in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, the Bahamas, Cambodia as well as Ukraine.

WCK made its U.S. debut in August 2017 by working with the American Red Cross to provide thousands of meals to survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

I think it's important that this article mentions this nonsensical movement called effective altruism.

riskable , in The Impact of a US TikTok Ban For Gen-Z
@riskable@programming.dev avatar

This article is lame. No one is proposing a ban on tiktok. The law just approved by Congress only requires a change of ownership (i.e. to something other than a Chinese-government-owned entity).

TikTok would still be just like it always is, minus the pro-China algorithm/propaganda. An algorithm well known to persistently favor the views of the Chinese government (which can be very much against what most Americans believe in such as freedom of speech):

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tiktoks-content-political-subjects-aligns-chinese-government-study-say-rcna130448

In other words, the influence of the Chinese government on teenagers and old people incessantly calling congressmen telling them to vote against that very bill. The very thing that the bill is supposed to prevent.

watyuhhgg OP ,

this article saying aboout point of view for genZ if ttiktok banned from US
