  • Yep, that's how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.

    Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.

    Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”

    Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren't stupid, and it's just become a routine part of raising a child.

    Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus' that they decide vaccines should be optional because.... "Don't tell me what to do, science nerds"

  • Yeah, reading between the lines, it sounds like the poor guy was not in any condition to take care of himself and likely had no idea what was even happening to him for that week. What a horrible way to go.

  • "From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world." - Donald Trump, Inauguration Day Jan 20 2025.

    So much respect.

  • Meh. Only suckers give a shit about the “generosity” of billionaires. Tax them. Tax them down to millionaire status. Why should they dictate what programs get funded? It’s never worked before.. it’s not suddenly going to start now.

    I mean, your own tumblr link is proof of that. After all, Gotham’s still a crime ridden shithole, isn’t it? Clearly Bruce Wayne doesn’t know what Gotham actually needs.

  • Seconded, but they just go by Tuta now.

  • Yeah, I don't think it effects browsers.

  • Yeah, I'm really glad I found out about Jellyfin. I switched to Jellyfin because Plex doesn't let you disable Passout Protection (automatically stopping playback after something like 3hrs) without Plex Pass. I was just about to fork over $95 for a lifetime license when I looked into Jellyfin and discovered continuous playback was the default. I switched that very day and never looked back.

  • Presumably Trump? But that can't be right... We all know Trump is just President Musk's "coffee boy."

  • There is no debate about what Bannon did at CPAC outside of Fox News panels. And downplaying it is a bad look. So knock it off.

    Democrats Announce Bold Plan to Resist Trump Policies by Playing Katy Perry’s “Roar” Really Loud

  • A cause of death hasn’t been released but he was 86 so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just natural causes from the stress of his upcoming trial and sentencing. But damnit, he really should’ve died behind bars.

    It’s a shame this robs the victim of seeing actual justice. But I would still consider one less violent racist in the world to be a win.

    Andrew Lester dies while awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in shooting of teen Ralph Yarl

  • I should hope so! The school deserves it. Multiple people would have had to drop the ball for this to happen. It’s just baffling because they were clearly making some sort of effort to help her. I can’t believe nobody bothered to even ask if her mother had been informed.

  • School officials knew Carranza was being severely bullied and sent her for multiple weekly counseling sessions. However, the officials reportedly never notified the child's mother, who says she only found out about the abuse after her daughter's hospitalization.

    How in the hell did nobody bother to tell her mother about the bullying? And how did she even get weekly counseling sessions without parental permission? I don’t have kids, so I guess I just don’t understand how schools are run these days, let alone in a shithole like Texas, but this story just sounds bizarre.

  • I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that'd be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.

  • Well, at least eggs are.... more expensive than ever.
