The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just “shot in the head”. By whom? Hard to say when you’re licking boots.

An anarchist would take off the capitalist mask to reveal hierarchy

Yes! The whole “lawyers are evil money grabbers” is a corporate psy-op. They want you to think it’s unreasonable for a person to sue a corporation when the corporation’s actions are harmful. They also want you to think defense attorneys are people who just look for technicalities to free guilty people.

They created armies of lawyers for themselves, while making americans distrustful of the ones fighting for normal people. We used to think of lawyers like Atticus Finch or Perry Mason. But now we just think of Saul Goodman and Lionel Hutz.

I wonder if engineers protested getting rid of the buttons. Who’s responsible for that terrible design trend?

I have a Toyota from around then, and yeah it’s the best. The great thing about that era is the milage is decent, and also I think it’s when abs and traction control became standard on all cars. So I have a manual transmission and aux cord, but it’s not ancient, it’s still very safe and efficient

Pipepipe is pretty good on F-droid, although Idk how it compares

the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly.

Not true. She was within the margin of error in the swing states.

I think Fivethityeight’s explanation went something like…

Don’t confuse 538’s model with polls. 538 takes polling data as an input, and then runs simulations that output the odds which side will win.

Polls don’t measure the odds a candidate will win, they measure how many people would vote a certain way if the election were held today. Predictive models take that data and do a lot more than simply average the results.

Not full bones, though. Just shards of bone that can seriously injure you

It’s also so fucking funny when Trump turns on someone. Can’t wait to see it happen with Vance

That Germany, of all countries, could fail to prevent a surge in reactionary antidemocratic politics suggests **there’s something eternal and enduring about the reactionary spirit. **

LMAO. Reactionary antidemocratic politics in Germany?!🧐 I’m shocked

Yes. I’m a leftist, not someone that blindly follows charismatic politicians. And Im not gonna oppose something just because a politician I dislike advocates for it. Policy>personality

I also disagree with Pelosi’s reasoning for wanting Biden to drop out. She just thinks he can’t win. I think Joe should step aside since he enacts genocidal policies.

Probably Kamala or a Dem governor. The delegates at the DNC would likely vote based off who is polling the best

60% of Dems want Biden to step aside. But he’s not. So that’s a problem.

Don’t forget (4) the inevitable yet unpredictable effects of aging on a human in their ninth decade

From the game, UK or Florida?

We got boomers on Lemmy now?

Carlson’s 1991 Trinity College yearbook lists him as a member of the “Dan White Society” and the “Jesse Helms Foundation.” White is the person who assassinated Harvey Milk, the groundbreaking out politician who urged gay people to “come out.” Helms, the late Republican senator from North Carolina, was notoriously racist and viciously anti-gay.

This is America.

His agenda is homegrown extremism. Putin’s reactionary regime is a natural ally for people like Tucker. But when you Make it sound like Putin is calling all the shots, youre both buying into Russian propaganda and whitewashing American history

Dude is an American who has been spouting vile homophobia since before the soviet union dissolved
