I guess that's accurate if by procedural/systemic he means like official and state sponsored, that's just not what anyone is claiming is the issue

Haha indeed r/Ohio seems to like it a lot better than r/Columbus

Hopefully at some point it will repeat as farce

Hmm I'd have to chart Israeli isolation vs aggression over time, but what we seem to see recently is the opposite - them being more aggressive than ever at a time when America is backing them more than ever

010

But again, wouldn't we expect telling Israel to go fuck themselves to deter not encourage an attack on Iran? Netanyahu had been pitching this joint attack on Iran and getting shot down by American presidents for many years before Trump was high enough on kidnapping Maduro to sign up for it

Wouldn't the US reducing support for Israel have reduced rather than increased the odds of Hormuz closing though?

From the Ohio community on Reddit: Let Central Ohio Kids Trick-Or-Treat on Halloween!

Well I am not in the relevant region but I have shared your petition on the Ohio subreddit so hopefully that gets you some signatures: www.reddit.com/r/Ohio/comme...

Bizarre that the system is "we just really want to make sure trick or treating happens on a school night"

Currently, the model for Beggars Night is for it to occur on Halloween, unless October 31 falls on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If that is the case, trick-or-treating is planned for the Thursday prior to Halloween.

As long as they don't make too much of a mess I say just let people have sex in robotaxis, what's the harm that's worth shutting down such a joyful experience?

I think we need to follow the "if the noose breaks and you survive you are free to go" precedent with these botched lethal injections

Wow you're calling support for Egypt, a Muslim majority country, disgusting? Islamophobic much?

Yeah Democrats need to get with the program that they should never be appointing conservatives to anything - that's what the Republicans are for!

The one thing people really hate and want to avoid in LA is shade

It's funny how Trump benefited hugely from putting his signature on the checks Democrats in congress sent out and keeps promising to send more, but between him and the Republican controlled congress there just isn't the will / capacity to do so

What mass patronage based models really be that much more difficult if the bonuses artists gave patrons didn't include access to the material? We already have many examples of successful patron-based models where the content is all freely available

000

I'm not claiming it would create more of them, just that they would be much more culturally prominent without the competition - though that might well result in more being made

000

Well not so much suppress as end the elaborate legal regime currently in place to subsidize such art by banning unauthorized copies of it...

100

The difference I see is that with a self-funded or patronage based systems everything that's getting created is because the artist or patron explicitly wants it to exist based on its artistic merits

000

It's more that if we drain the pool of art that's being made because it's lucrative what is left will be passion projects, and that would be a better and more interesting artistic world to explore despite it being less well funded

200

So under current Supreme Court jurisprudence where they fully reject the "this is a pretext for racial discrimination" reasoning in all contexts poll tests would definitely be legal

030

And that's still true today!

I do not like the sound of relying on some computer system estimating whether any given finger touch was me holding the kindle or trying to turn the page. What's so bad about bezels and buttons?

000

This is another reason why we should abolish copyright. The more art is created as a passion project by the artist and the less to meet the demands of the market the better off we will be

Wow this came up again quickly

000

Is there some structure hidden under Trump's suit that's holding him up?

000

Huh, what's changed in the in person organizing spaces since 2017?

100

Yeah the "Ted coaches a women's team" reboot is great and the "also we need to find something for these beloved legacy characters to do" season 4 didn't need to exist

Some strange writing choices in this excerpt - isn't the past tense of "glide" glid?

Seems like it was not born in the South?

In 1825, Kappa Alpha Society, the first fraternity to retain its social characteristic, was established at Union College in Schenectady, New York. In 1827, Sigma Phi and Delta Phi were also founded at the same institution,[5] creating the Union Triad. The further birthing of Psi Upsilon (1833), Omicron Kappa Epsilon (1834), Chi Psi (1841), and Theta Delta Chi (1847) collectively established Union College as the Mother of Fraternities. The social fraternity Chi Phi, officially formed in 1854, traces its roots to a short-lived organization founded at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey in 1824, bearing the same name.

Ah sorry I misread you. I find Bluesky is full of people celebrating the large amount of grassroots protest, but I definitely see a media narrative out there that's always talking about the surprising lack of protest - and of course feeding that narrative by not covering the protests that happen

Asgard and Themiscyra are like Saudi Arabia except instead of oil they have magic
