Yes, Maori members of parliament performed a Haka. Here is an awesome video showing it and set to heavy metal:

Our Gary died in a bad plankton incident. We now have Gary 2 and Gary 3.

Algorithm curated content driven by engagement doesn't deserve to be called social media any more. The Feed, seems apropriate, malnourishing as it is.

I'm sure mossad has kompromat on everone in the administration.

God vs Satan doesn't leave room for nuance.

The best I saw reporting in was a town of 800 in deep red Trump country with a turnout of 400. Wish I could remember the town. Faiy certain it was a rey on Lemmy but may have been bluesky.

Believing police in the USA are anything near well trained or disciplined is naive at best. This incident is only one amongst many of the police using their firearm irresponsibly.

According to the state Department of Safety and Professional Services, applicants for a cosmetology license must complete at least 1,550 hours — or about 39 weeks if you assume 40 hours per week — of training at a licensed cosmetology school. The program must last a minimum of 10 months. 

As of 2016, anyone who applies to be a law enforcement officer or tribal law enforcement officer in Wisconsin must undergo 720 hours, or 18 weeks, of training — even less than what the Facebook post claimed. The training curriculum for jail and juvenile detention officers is 160 hours.

As always please read the articles for the full picture and nuance.

Wisconsin is not an outlier in this. There are many jobs in the USA that take more training than the police which do not carry deadly weapons and have blanket immunity to use them.

That's what the protests are the beginning of, the US population has not had a very successful popular progressive movement since the 60s. We're rusty and the younger generation are inexperienced at this but we're gathering momentum.

They were some of the most inspiring people I met yesterday. It's great seeing people my parents age that are engaged and want to make the world a better place for their kids and grandkids.

Same for finance. They've successfully socialized the risk of stock investing, why not governmemt coups?

I didn't say you were wrong, either. :)

Vaguely related: I wasn't a fan of the Hogsbreath nickname folks were using. It wasn't targeted enough. I like Pete Kegs'n'Death.

I hate to defend the turd at all, but he was in the military.

That only means he can follow orders, though, which he is doing phenomenal job of doing.

There's a glimmer of hope that they would.
