And exactly why Trump is terrible at it.

But anyone with half a brain knew that after watching any of The Apprentice.

If a topic keeps coming up no matter how much you try to censor it, consider that it's not going away. Some changes are long overdue.

With a topic so white hot that it can’t be ignored you should consider starting @VeganMemes

One whole “echo chamber” was built on stigmatizing the mainstream news which by definition means they’re pushing alternative news.

The only news I’m interested in are the facts. I avoid opinion articles or “framing” as much as I can.

If we’re calling factual reporting an echo chamber then fine. I guess the answer to your question for me is I like my echo chamber because the truth matters.

The “echo chamber” narrative only serves to legitimize and “both sides” bullshit.

I think the folks who were happy to see him get off were more interested in the (not legal)indictment of the LAPD and admission of their corruption:

Thanks for taking the time. He’s a great follow if you’re on Mastodon.

I wasn't even trying to be hurtful

Next time try to not be hurtful. Internalize the difference.

we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations

I agree but then some folks come along and fuck it up.

So to all the mods out there: Your personal opiniondoes not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don't align with yours!

Absolutely it does. Their sub; their rules. Lemmy is not a democracy.

A video reacting to people pointing out the obvious by further pointing out the obvious 😮‍💨

I accidentally tried to upvote your comment twice. Once for each sentence as I finished them.

Sure…I suppose bullying folks to vote for you is an option…

By that logic Palestinian civilians should wipe Israel off the map.

I think they’re trying to convince you to switch to metric.

It’s paywalled for me 😕

Elizabeth Warren says she believes Israel’s war in Gaza will legally be considered a genocide ( www.politico.com )

Warren was asked about a ruling from the International Court of Justice that found it was “plausible” Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza, and about her own opinion on the matter. A spokesperson for Warren said in a statement to POLITICO Monday that the senator “commented on the ongoing legal process at the...

Winning Iowa isn’t a great predictor. Biden blew out South Carolina and created a rallying point for Super Tuesday where most voters just wanted a moderate who would compete well in the general.

I’m not at all convinced any other nom would have defeated Trump.

ccunning ,

No […] you’ve forgotten

“No” what?

Biden won SC by nearly 30 points (the last primary before Super Tuesday) and proceeded to win 2/3rds of the Super Tuesday contests.

Most Democrats didn’t want “really progressive”. They wanted someone who was middle of the road and would be able to beat Trump.

Laube deserved a light sentence, Carney said, because prosecutors should have focused on leftist groups

As if it has any bearing on this guy’s guilt or innocence.

I should have realized when they were complaining about “Activist judges” what they meant was there weren’t enough on their side.

I’m going to New Orleans for vacation next week and one of this items tentatively on our todo list is visiting Whitney Plantation which we specifically chose because it’s stated goal is to educate people on the history and legacy of slavery in the U.S.

Perhaps I’m naive and have been sucked in by marketing? What do y'all think? Still bad?

Oh man. Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately we’re not going to have a car so we’ll me at the mercy of whatever tour operator we go with.

If you like it who cares? It’s basically French press without the last filtering step. It’s also basically how professionals grade coffee in “cuppings”.

It could be read as Trump(n.) Fans(v.) Rage or as Trump(n.) Fans(n.) Rage.

I can see how it’s ambiguous, but also it’s the dumbest shit to nit pick.

Good thing spiders aren’t insects then, I guess?

Now do the previous post to this very sub:

And yet people are eating it up and making excuses for the antisemitic imagery.

I thought lemmy.world was supposed to be tightly moderated.

ccunning ,

Do the IDF not use the Israeli flag vs the Star of David on their uniforms?

To me that’s where I felt the line was crossed; using a generic Star of David (representing Jews generally) vs the Israeli flag (Representing Israel)

I have done a bit of image searching now and none of the IDF seem to have the Star of David displayed prominently; this was the first image I came across where one was noticeable at all.

I looked up the artist and he doesn’t come off as antisemitic so willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that it wasn’t intentional

If the cartoon depicted the entire emblem rather than just the menorah you would have a point.

Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores ( gizmodo.com )

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

You linked to the original Mechanical Turk. Perhaps you already know this but Amazon actually runs an Mechanical Turk service:

Reddit stock is falling back to Earth because the short-sellers have arrived ( qz.com )

Some 7% of Reddit’s free share float (or more) has been sold short so far, according to an estimate from the analytics company Ortex cited by Reuters. That’s something the social platform was worried would happen, noting in its prospectus that retail traders in its subreddits (and particularly on r/WallStreetBets) could...

Wouldn’t blame them after the IPO. Who wants to Create Shareholder Value for free…for someone else?

They actually listed it as a risk in the IPO prospectus.

Lawmaker Slammed for Claiming College Basketball Players Were Actually 'Illegal Invaders' ( www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com )

Michigan MAGA Republican state Rep. Matt Maddock is under fire after claiming three buses were “loaded up with illegal invaders.” The buses, according to multiple reports, were actually loaded with the Gonzaga University basketball team arriving for March Madness....

ccunning ,

Doesn’t know who they are, but knows they’re “illegal invaders”. I wonder how he came to that conclusion…

ccunning ,

Crazy how you can’t get the whole story from just the headline isn’t it?

It’s worth noting the white teen instigated the fight. Is lethal force in self defense only ok if a gun is used?

ccunning ,

It cannot be the case that a president of the United States can attempt to overturn an election and seize power and that our justice system is incapable of holding a trial and holding him to account before the next election

This is such a good and obvious point, I can’t believe I haven’t heard it said before. Maybe it’s just one of those things that’s so obvious it doesn’t occur to anyone to say out loud? Anyway, I’m glad she said it.

ccunning ,

Well right now she’s still fighting off the first mugger. I’m not going to attack her until the first mugger has been dealt with and then only once she pulls her knife on me.

If your point is to be wary that she may pull a knife, I agree.

If your point is to fight off the mugger and her at the same time, I disagree.

Keeping sources identities private is a pretty standard journalistic practice.

EMI was the first domino to fall after Job’s famous Thoughts on Music open letter.

The other labels followed suit shortly after.

Why govern when you can spend your whole term vice signaling?

The article’s implication is that not all quartz is the same quality. Are you saying that’s incorrect? This list seems irrelevant otherwise.

The longest shutdown we’ve ever had started when the GOP controlled the House AND the Senate AND Trump was president.
