from the 2000s when he was doing Fear Factor/NewsRadio.

Fun fact, Ray Romano (of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' fame) was originally cast as the station's handyman on NewsRadio but was let go before the pilot because producers felt his comedic timing wasn't quick enough to keep up with the rest of the cast. When Joe Rogan was hired to replace him they retooled the character based on his standup routine from the time... Which was basically just ranting about drugs and conspiracy theories on stage.

That's the only reason the Joe Garrelli character was a conspiracy theorist. So when people tell you "Joe Rogan used to be reasonable" they don't know what they're talking about. He was barely acting on that show. He's always been a contrarian meathead conspiracy theorist.

Just wait until you see what Trump does for Palestine, boy are you in for a rude awakening. Congrats on sticking it to the democrats, I guess. Enjoy the next four years.

Gee, I wonder who she voted for...

While I agree with your point, this isn't an indictment of journalism. Comicsands.com is George Takei's personal buzzfeed clone. I love George Takei but it's not an actual news source, it's a meme blog. Personally, I don't think it belongs in any serious news oriented communities.

He’s not. But several years ago the media latched onto a well established term from “internet culture” without understanding (or perhaps caring) what it was actually describing, and decided that it meant ridiculing something on social media. It’s an example of a subculture’s slang getting thoroughly corrupted through mainstream exposure until it no longer means what it once did.

I'd be a lot happier if Mastodon were seeing 1 million new users a day right now, but I'll take what I can get. Any dent in Twitter's user base is good. Here's hoping that experiencing "the Fediverse with training wheels" over at Bluesky will lead to people moving to Mastodon sooner rather than later.

All the direct result of decades worth of work by Republicans to erode public education and vilify ‘expertise’ as a concept.

Closed source and it's got ads. lmao pass. Go back to !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Yep! But if you'd like to disable it just go to Settings > User Tags > and toggle off "Track Votes"

Oooh, you're right! I didn't realize that worked as well. Thanks!

Well deserved. Betty White was an immense talent and a wonderful human being. She was a true ally against bigotry.

In 1954, as The Betty White Show became national across the United States, White was criticized by many in the Southern states for having Arthur Duncan, a Black tap dancer, on her variety show and was asked to remove him. In the 2018 documentary Betty White: First Lady of Television, White recalled threats to take the show off-air "if we didn't get rid of Arthur, because he was Black." She refused, saying "he stays, live with it".

Also:

A supporter and advocate of LGBT rights, White said in 2010, "If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it's fine if they want to get married. I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much." In a 2011 interview, she revealed that she always knew her close friend Liberace was gay and that she sometimes accompanied him to premieres to help him hide it.

Meh, I bought Ultra lifetime after a few months of using Apollo and never even bothered using push notifications. Which is funny, because it was the main thing I missed when I originally switched from Android and RiF in 2020. Voyager is FOSS so it's understandable that there won't be push notifications, as that require servers which cost money, and it also introduces potential security issues. User tags on the other hand, were something Apollo sorely needed, and the dev never got around to it.

Presets would be cool. I don't really use reddit anymore but RES had presets for usertags and it made tagging MAGA chuds very easy.

Yeah, sorry for being snarky, but the Fediverse refers to all federated software. So, Fedia.io for example, is an MBin instance. Which is different than Lemmy and Mastodon but they can all interact with each other. They're all part of the overall Fediverse. So your comment was just kind of awkwardly phrased and redundant.

Which is both Fediverse and Mastodon.

Well… yeah.

Just when the country needed a laugh the most, The Onion went and did the funniest thing they could possibly do. This is a wonderful morning.

Jesus fucking Christ. Putin must be ecstatic.
