Mississippi, god damn

The AP's shitty coverage doesn't even mention that the undercover cop who got severely beaten is black.

Cops beat a black undercover cop at a protest, because he was (a) black and (b) at a protest. Of course, cops routinely beat protesters, especially black protesters, but everyone who's beaten doesn't get a fat payout like this. Only cops, and only if they sue.

This is barely news; the headline might as well be 'Hate group hates'. But jeez, I giggled at the start of the fourth paragraph with, "In its most eagerly anticipated section…" Even among Christians, even among very-very-Christians, is there anyone who "eagerly anticipates" the Vatican's declarations of doctrine?

Welcome to the new Newsweek. It's shit so consistently, I no longer click.

You will have no further chance to tell me of your lord and savior's love.

Much more likely explanation: He was lying when he made the 'pledge'.

A few free ways around paywalls, region-blocking, adblock-blocking, and URL glitches:

• Ghostarchive
poor layout, spotty uptime

• Google Cache
frequently fails, but reliably captures video when it works

• Internet Archive (Wayback Machine)
slow-loading, but works

• One Foot Away

• 12-Foor Ladder

If there are other workarounds, please let me know.

Champagne by the bottle.

If the school does nothing, it's very much in the public interest to prosecute.

150 years from now, there will not be scientists.

This is news of important to Ms Shanahan's family, but not the rest of us.

Trumped.

Six points for 'tacticool'. :)

This is the first smart move I've seen from the Biden campaign. It'll certainly signal clearly which party might give a damn about women's rights. On the downside, of course, the clinic Harris visits will undoubtedly be firebombed soon.

So far as I know, there ain't squat you can do about abusive mods, but I'll say this for what little it's worth:

I've been following 𝕯𝖎𝖕𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖙 for months, one of about twenty Lemmy contributors I seriously appreciate. Always smart, sometimes funny, sometimes pissed off but in a good way. Said WTF out loud when I saw you'd been banned, and I'm glad you're back, 𝕯𝖎𝖕𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖙.

Sweet jeebers, is Biden really dumb enough to use the State of the Union Address — biggest Presidential bully pulpit in an election year — to complain about shrinkflation?

Gaza is like what, 4 square miles?

About 141 square miles.

Yes, you've identified the real crux of the issue. All Americans have great trust and respect for the IRS, and Mr Littlejohn's actions might erode some fraction of some fraction of that undeserved trust and respect. Oh, the humanity.

We disagree? I see no disagreement.

Repeating “but were they a drag queen” in our little echo chambers is surely cathartic

Full stop. It's cathartic, does no harm, adds a momentary smile to my otherwise dreary, humdrum, frustrating life. Bring on the drag queens, please!
