Super excited to see this, from out of state. It sounds real. If it gets coverage, it’ll be inspirational across the country.
I know there were some walkouts “Free America” yesterday, but here (Atlanta), it was just a handful of schools and some sign-carriers. Not disruptive enough to push the weekend’s snow forecast out of the news.
Are you suggesting that Obama is one of the Nobel Laureates negotiating to gift his medal to Trump? What do you think a former President wants from the current President?
FIFA are trend setters. Surely, there’s a line forming of other Nobel Laureates excited to turn over their medals for a favor from POTUS.
My favorite intro to burritos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpyIOhuP1FI
You have to fold the ends of a burrito tortilla in to seal the filling. It’s a sharp fold that corn tortillas just can’t do. Burrito tortillas are often 12"/30cm or more, and I feel like corn tortillas aren’t strong enough for that (never tried, but also never seen them for sale).
With RFK’s new dietary guidelines, you’re not supposed to eat carbs, which would normally be the main source of low-budget calories. 6 ounces of pork is only around 350 calories, so RFK’s going to want you to get 3 times that, which is going to blow your $3 budget right there.
Can’t make a burrito with a corn tortilla. Otherwise, solid insight.
Good discovery tools are essential on a federated platform. An important part of twitter, facebook, and reddit success is/was that that they were the place for their particular style of content. You had a pretty good chance of being able to discover your old high school friends, because they were on the one platform. Then the (early) algorithm started discovering for you all the obscure content similar to your history.
Discovery has to work differently in a federated system. You can search for communities on Lemmy, but if your instance doesn’t already have someone subscribed to a community, then you’re not going to find it.
How many years did the GOP keep relentlessly putting up new abortion restrictions, having them voted down or immediately overturned by courts before they got their big win? “Virtue signalling” is how you keep your political coalition together. “Virtue signalling” is how recruit the voters that eventually let you win.
Doesn’t “have the money” for plastic surgery imply good surgery? All these people look like they got TEMU lips and Great Value noses.
I realize you’re looking for new toys, but ‘anywhere in the flat’ includes ‘under a pile of pillows.’ Otherwise, for personal photo-sized storage, just put a couple 2.5mm format SSDs in the QNAP.
Trump is absolutely incapable of distinguishing between having a thing and having won that thing. Machado was definitely going to try to buy leadership of Venezuela with her medal, and the committee just cockblocked her.
I kinda want to see what James Maynard could get for giving his Fields Medal to Trump. Partly because it would be funny to see Trump claim to be a Fields-award winning mathematician, partly because James Maynard would make a much better Secretary of Education than that wrestler.
American voters love Democratic, even progressive policies, but hate Democratic (and especially progressive) candidates. It’s baffled me for three decades. The only thing I really come up with is that the absolutist, paternalistic, simplistic persona typical of Republican candidates encodes ‘leadership’ vastly more than the inclusive, empathetic persona of Democrats. As a population, we are bad at identifying leadership.

I saw signs calling for a general strike Jan 20 at the last demonstration, but I haven’t seen any real momentum. Tell me when it is and I’ll have a neighborhood barbecue.
I hope he tries The Thing that finally gets domestic power to remove him. 25th amendment, impeach & remove, resign. Whatever. None of those seem particularly likely at this point.
I very much hope he doesn’t ever get the opportunity to do The Thing that finally gets a foreign power to stop him. He’s had no consequences so far. Barely any meaningful resistance. It’s hard to imagine what someone with his brain damage thinks, but he doesn’t have any evidence that he can’t do whatever he wants, and it won’t be surprising if he tries.
If one black SUV full of masked men in tacticool gear starts shooting at another black SUV full of masked men in tacticool gear, how do you tell the ‘good’ guys? Or do you just assume it’s a workplace dispute?
Who needs soft power when you can just kidnap world leaders and declare yourself the caretaker regime?
They weren’t my favorite studio before, but they’re definitely never getting another dime from me. There’s a lot of fish in the sea.
Did Trump tell Chevron, or did Chevron tell Trump?
