I'm sure we can count on the social platforms being all over this with the moderating. /s

I wonder how long we have to wait for some super toxic assbackwards "protect conservative free speech" bill to be pushed through to try and keep any future (the current ones outside of the fediverse I think are already not moderating this kind of thing) from being able to ban shitheads like Fuentes.

Fuck Trump trying to pull the Turtle on us again, like they did with the Supreme Court. These federal judges are life time appointments, and we are going to need as many qualified ones as we can get to help weather the coming lawlessness from Trump and his oligarchs.

It seemed that it was a rejection of whatever political group was in power across the globe for the most part this year. This is largely in part because the world as a whole is still healing/recovering from the damage of COVID, and in the US the Dems were left to clean up an economic disaster left by Trump. And we have a large number of people who felt the effects of inflation and for reasons I can't wrap my head around felt the Dems needed to be voted out. Then we had all the people who wanted to teach the Dems a lesson because of Gaza by making sure Trump was elected to help Israel level the area and make sure there was no future for Palestinians (which is another contradiction I can't wrap my head around).

So really I think the Dems could have had a unicorn candidate (Bernie) and they still would have lost this election, because enough people only vote for themselves.

Like most things, The Dollop (episode 456) did an episode on Scott Walker that was in charge of making this "deal".

It's about making a white christofascists nation, with Trump in it for the white fascism part (I think his narcissism has him put himself above religion).

And bad actors will use that feeling (for those that have it) against them, and to call out reporting like this as a conspiracy (that will of course ironically be broadcast through the Rights media network by the very people that have been spreading the real conspiracies from the start).

Maybe a long shot, but as someone with ADHD and self diagnosed autism, I would encourage you to look into the possibility. I struggled in school all the way through, constantly told "if only you applied yourself", the problem was I was already working harder and didn't realize the system wasn't designed for my brain. Really the world in general isn't designed for anyone neurodivergent, but your life still has value, you just need help figuring out how the whole unexplained thing works.

Yep, AI has been shown to create sources (books/websites/etc.) names out of just pieces of the question asked and do it with the confidence that it's real.

Agreed. So basically they'll push living a lie on those boys, doubling down on the new religious school texts to solidify that guilt.

TIL I learned that Chegg was 1) still around 2) did more than sell college textbooks.

It must be sad to see your company value evaporate at the hands of the equivalent of liar-Russian-roulette, where the AI will return an answer to most anything. And it will return that answer with complete confidence, giving no indication if the result is real or completely fabricated.

Yes, and that's their plan. And remember that health goes beyond vaccines/pandemics, but he will be part of their abortion and contraception bans as well. Couple this with whatever horrible choice Trump picks to dismantle education, and school health programs are going to contain basically just "listen to your husband and/or God (depending on the issue), he knows best" for everything.

The people that felt like they needed to prove a point and put this man back in charge have fucked us for generations.

Here comes? They never stopped! And they worked overtime framing everything Harris needed to be perfect, then cover Trump talking just word salad and writing a positive interpretation of what they thought he meant by it.

And the same asshats that voted for him are going to be paying for these tariffs with higher prices and blame Biden. And the companies are going to make record profits and get more tax breaks and government handouts.

They are changing the name to just "Scouts" to reflect this. And is 100% why these assholes have an issue with them now.

On May 7, 2024, BSA announced that the organization will change its name to Scouting America. While the name change will officially go into effect on February 8, 2025, on its 115th anniversary, all are encouraged to use the name immediately.

Edit a word =(

Have you learned nothing in the past 9 years? These people have been telling us who they are and what they plan to do, BELIEVE THEM! Giving them the benefit of the doubt or saying they are joking is just allowing them to continue to move the goal posts. We just gave the Presidency to a man that has been telling us he wants Nazi generals, cops to have a "purge day" of American citizens, wants to use the US military and National Guard against citizens and he 100% meant all of it. And we just granted him the power because the media and apologists continue to give these Fascist assholes cover.

Yes, keeping the power is the reason both sides do it. And even if a non partisan group were to approve them, the GOP has been messing with them to suppress minorities and then just dragging their feet in changing them, or changing but in the same bad way and then running out the clock until it's "too close to the election to change the maps now". Then if they change afterwards they already got what they wanted, and then just rinse and repeat next time.

Yep, it's called Gerrymandering.

Edit - The illegal part is when Republicans make less predominantly minority districts than they are required to by the Voting Rights Act.

You do have to look at the merch tables with a grain of salt though, as many of them know Trump is in a dementia spiral and losing his marbles. They also know that his rally goers will buy just about anything and are more than happy to pretend for their $$$.

I fear it starts with messing with vaccinations and we have long dead diseases come back, but then shifts to other things, like "you don't need those meds for depression because I'm not a Dr. but I know better than them and they are trying to poison you". Then they are sending people off to for profit torture "treatment" camps like the rich do for the "troubled kids" now.

In the end you have people in essentially old school psych facilities where they aren't really treated, they are just "out of the way", and when they die they put them in the mass grave out back.

Kinda sad to see Katie Porter at #1 with over $10m while the next closest candidate is just under $3m.

Edit - Having only known her for the charts she makes to school Republicans I had no idea she earned her law degree under Professor Warren (when she was teaching at Harvard), and was later given the position of monitor for a nationwide bank mortgage settlement by Harris when she was AG of CA. Small world.
