When they say millions were spent on condoms for Gaza, this is the Gaza. They didn't send condoms to Hamas, they sent them to people struggling with the spread of HIV. Funding was stopped because of the word "Gaza" without even verifying the fine details. This is the "audit" they're so proud of.

Reddit just nuked a ton of trans, drug, and porn subreddits last night. Bans are supposedly for being "unmoderated", but many of these subs have subscribers saying that's not true. A brand new Admin account with no post history says they're "working on the issue". www.reddit.com/r/SubredditD...

[Mature Content] From the SubredditDrama community on Reddit: R/porn & R/rule34 are banned, tissue paper sales pulmmet! However, these are not the only bans, so what's going on?

Well, obviously anyone that's a Russian asset has to tell you if you ask them. Otherwise it's entrapment.

Trump voters aren't a monolith. They're 50% of the population. Dislike people individually and understand that the news and feed you get from social media isn't the same as someo. I've seen people actually convinced that Trump already ended income tax and Medicaid because of exaggerated articles.

You know, I do the same thing and didn't realize it. Borderlands has a bunch of weapons like that, especially in the Pre-Sequal and Wonderlands and I just prefer the "gun" guns. Preferably ones that don't have to be reloaded all the damn time.

What a brave position to take. If only more leaders could boldly proclaim "plane crashes are bad and should be prevented!"

The only difference between insurance and social programs is profit. If property taxes were raised and used to cover property destruction by natural disasters, that would let the insurers off the hook and they could get their premiums down. Because of the number of people paying, it should balance.

There's nothing racist about resisting authoritarian governments. Chinese isn't a race, it's a nationality, and Chinese people aren't bad people. The Chinese government is a bad government, though.

Likely, yes. That's not a bug, that's a feature. They're trying to end the federal department of education and allow states to set their own curriculums. Indiana has already developed new diploma guidelines that would prevent about 3/4 of our graduates from qualifying to enter a university.

The people this message was for aren't reading fact checker info. They're just saying "glad Trump is in charge. God bless America!" I have so many family members that straight up worship this man.

It's possible, for a while. That all goes out the window if the US puts sanctions on other countries for helping Ukraine. There are several levers he can pull to affect regimen change. It's all kind of business as usual for the US, except that he's on the wrong side and doing it in the open.

The daily show is the only show left willing to really go after these guys. Everything else is podcasts and social media posters.

Murkowski only voted against him after getting permission from her party. They had the votes without her and Collins. If they didn't have the votes, Collins and Murkowski would have approved him.

This app seriously needs an edit button. *I wouldn't think any graph would need to be adjusted for age, as most people with heart disease will be seniors, but would need to be for population

Jason @jasonwiggins.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

What effect does that end up having on the numbers? France is about half of what the other 3 are, and their occurrence rate seems to be moving along an almost identical trend line. I would think any graph would need to adjust for age as most people with heart disease will be seniors, just population

You probably don't see it because these things were put into place decades ago and have been doing a lot of the heavy lifting in creating some degree of balance. If there are still way more white men in powerful positions with these austere DEI rules, just imagine what will happen without them.

Jason @jasonwiggins.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

The second amendment doesn't say guns. It says arms. That includes tanks, grenades, land mines, nuclear warheads, nerve gas, and bombs. The second amendment, as explained by the NRA, would guarantee everyone the unlimited right to own those weapons too, but it sounds dumb when you say it like that.

Jason @jasonwiggins.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

The point isn't legitimate if it's incorrect, though. You can't just say "they didn't have any men on the team" when there were men on the team and expect everyone else to just go along with that out of sheer force of manners.

Jason @jasonwiggins.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

A team of only females, only black people, or only Muslims isn't diverse and clearly isn't being created for the purpose of diversity, but DEI wasn't created as a concept because little one-off projects weren't diverse enough. It was created because systemic exclusion was happening by default.

This is kind of like explaining the difference between a pedophile and an ephibophile. Going out of your way to explain the difference makes you sound like a pedophile.

DEI policies are there to ensure that merit is the metric used in hiring. In order for that not to be true, white men would have to be the best people for every job.

There are several comments that they're going up in the US and the most likely reason that's happening is because baby boomers are getting into their elder years. That is a huge group of people. To actually account for them correctly, we'll need to switch to per-capita comparisons.

What I'd like to see is if we've seen a similar increase in dementia caused by long-term use of statins that prevent heart attacks. I have done little research on this, and only recently became aware of the cognitive side effects of statins when my grandmother got dementia.

The reason we have a republic is because this is precisely the problem with democracy. If you can get enough people whipped into a frenzy, you can get them to do things contrary to their own interests. Our checks and balances are meant to stop this kind of thing, but they've been compromised as well

Jason @jasonwiggins.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

The idea here is to do so many of them at once that have be challenged individually that it will just take forever and while some are being challenged, others will stay in place. It's akin to his "start negotiations by asking for something ridiculous. It makes your final offer look more reasonable."

That's the idea. We're going to do our own little book club once I stop dying from climate change. Indiana just went from 50° to 5° to 45° to -2° (Fahrenheit, of course) and my sinuses and throat are just having none of it. My voice sounds like a really weak person is trying to strangle me.

It was her idea to help us unplug from the Internet more. We're both chronically over informed about the crazy shit that never stops happening.

I just saw Mark Carney on the daily show the other day and he reminds me of an older Pete Buttigieg. Very articulate and able to explain things clearly without buzz words. You can tell talking to him he wasn't coached what to say, he actually understands things.

If Poilievre wins the PM election, we won't need to be two separate countries. He'll do whatever the heritage foundation's croneys tell him to do. We'll effectively be in the same sinking boat being told not to panic.

They recognize the pattern. This is exactly what most of them voted for. And they'll openly admit it eventually, just not quite yet.

Have you noticed that no one takes the bait on here? You just pop off your hateful rage bait comments and people just ignore you. You're not likely to get a lot of engagement on here. We just block people like you and move on. Enjoy X while it lasts. At least people there still care what you think.
