  • Ukraine starts mass production of Palianytsia missile

  • I misread that as Palestinian Missiles and for a split second thought "wow, now that's a bold move" before doing a double take and a chuckle

  • Trump AG pick Matt Gaetz says he's withdrawing

    Jump

  • Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he'll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.

  • Why The Economist endorses Kamala Harris

    Jump

  • Washington Post cancellations hit 250,000 – 10% of subscribers

    Jump

  • The editorial board had written an unpublished endorsement for Harris, and they have been publicly endorsing presidents for the past ~50 years. This year they did not, and recently it was made public why: the billionaire owner, Jeff bezos, ordered them not to.

    It is more about there being proof that the owner is having editorial control of the paper, than about any endorsement.

    The owner controlling editorial decisions is to many, myself included who also cancelled my subscription, a violation of journalistic principles and not the product we are paying for.

    I want to read a publication where skilled journalists can speak their mind, and that is no longer certain at the Washington Post, instead I must interpret their opinions as filtered through a billionaire's goals and opinions. I do not want to pay for that.

  • Happy Halloween!

    Jump

  • Instead of a bowl of candy that kids would take one of on the night of Halloween, a US holiday, they are jokingly offering a small amount of a drug, likely cocaine, to the kids.

  • It's a very long article with many examples, but these highlight well

    One 82-year-old woman, who wore pajamas with holes in them because she didn’t want to spend money on new ones, didn’t realize she had given Republicans more than $350,000 while living in a 1,000 square-foot Baltimore condo since 2020.

    By the time a Taiwanese immigrant from California passed away from lung cancer this year at age 80, she had given away more than $180,000 to Trump’s campaign and a litany of other Republican candidates – writing letters to candidates apologizing for not getting donations to them on time because she was going into heart surgery. She had only $250 in her bank account when she died, leaving her family scrambling to cover the cost of her funeral.

    And a 78-year-old, a widow who limited showers to save on her water bill and canceled her long-term care insurance, didn’t understand why the retirement savings her husband had left her was dwindling so quickly. After CNN reached out to her family, they learned that the woman gave more than $200,000 in donations to Democratic political groups and candidates.

    This whole thing is a plague, citizens United and this concept of pacs, and all this money in politics is absurd. I think in the modern day of internet and with each campaign setting up a website, and normal reporting and debates, town halls, and Rally's is sufficient, we don't need all these mailers, and constant ads, and texts, and so on and so on. it's more just a giant transfer of wealth from the people to networks and ad agencies.

    All this money has turned politics towards sensationalism, and it's hurting society.

  • Is it supposed to look like this or is that a bug?

    Jump

  • I've noticed this on my side too, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I don't enjoy the style if it is.

  • At one point, it was thought to be very safe because of its fire resistance, treated as a miracle material. many buildings throughout the world were made with asbestos, and many still exists.

    for the most part it is only harmful when disturbed, either when mining and processing, or when destroyed.

  • Oh don't be so condescending, it was an attempt by all common definitions. And further, the FBI themselves is investigating the issue as an assassination attempt.

    Not only do I think you are confused, I think you're being a bully about it and should check yourself.

  • It's one thing to think about, and even to write about it publicly (which he did)

    But this guy, also went and brought his gun, scope, and armor to the place trump was known to be, waited for 12 hours, and then was finally caught one hole before trump would've been in sight if the early reports are to be believed.

    If it is not an assassination attempt, what else could've it been? The guy made explicit public posts about assassinating trump, then went to where trump was with a gun, and then waited for trump to be in the sights of his gun. To me it sounds like the security agent interrupted his attempt at assassinating trump, not anything else.

    I think it would be easy to suggest that, had that agent not interrupted that guy, he would've tried shooting at trump.

    By no means do I support trump, but, my hate for him isn't so strong for it to deform reality I hope.

  • This site is worse than a repost

    The source is a reddit post it seems and Hindustan times is just doing a highlight reel of that post without linking it. Hindustan times has a low credibility score from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/hindustan-times and didn't add any journalism

    ~Searching it's quote's (being forced to use Google, since they pay Reddit to index them ...) it comes from this article https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/1fb097q/where_would_you_report_this_kind_of_behaviour/~

    ~And doing a quick skim of comments there was no additional clarity.~

    ~So... Probably not real~

    UPDATE: I found the source, from yelp, with the name uncensored: https://www.yelp.com/biz/maxines-sparta

    It's a small restaurant in Michigan, there's already people giving them flak and bad reviews, so please don't add to that
