  • Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

    Jump

  • They've investigated themselves, and found themselves to be guilty. So they shut that whole thing down.

  • Senate confirms 48 of Trump’s nominees at once after changing the chamber’s rules

  • I wanted to reply to numerous comments, but I'll just do it here. The people aggrieved that democrats/liberals/the left didn't do more are not wrong for being upset, even very upset. Things are generally better for everyone, in recent history, under left-side leadership. But our representatives have been beset by corporate capture since the 80s/90s so by my estimation politics has been a performative art for my entire lifetime. Still anyone with their head above water knows you've got better quality of life under democrats, even if they are deceptive or corrupt.

    The system needs replacement. It has been captured whole by multi-national industry, corporations, investment interests, and billionaires. It is currently being bent and corrupted to the point of no return. Even if democrats work for us, they only give us so much before bending for their donor money. I've always had this vague notion that for even the best intentioned, there's only so far you can climb the ladder of politics before you refuse a bribe, or lobbying money, and they just boot your ass. Or blacklist you, or whatever, you just get locked out. I dunno how to end this, except to say that the whole world needs a massive paradigm shift, and it just doesn't look like we gettin it.

  • Israel threatens national film awards after Palestinian story wins top prize

  • Yea I wouldn't bother. I think the reply to the top comment says "if you don't support our cultural genocide movement you're a white supremacist. In general I have just stopped rooting for the human species.

  • Time has somehow stopped, but you can move. What do you do?

    Jump

  • Alright so I can do aforementioned things, read books, build a cabin in the middle of nowhere, etc. And I was thinking about what Zathras said, if I could drive I could probably weave around people without incident. It just occurs to me what might happen if time started moving forward meanwhile. Also dependent on that factor, the political and social ramifications, oh my. Easy Luigi mode, if I were so inclined. I've seen time travel depicted so many different ways and with so many different rules so its made me particular.

  • Lol probably freeze to death. Photons stop moving, molecules stop vibrating. Electronic devices probably don't function/respond. So I could sleep (forever), no video games/tv/movies. Time travel trips me up; like I could walk around, but would time stopping fuck with the cohesion of matter/reality etc? Think you need a few more preconditions for this poll.

  • Removed Locked

    Carlo Acutis, ‘God’s influencer’ who died age 15, declared a saint by Pope Leo

  • This really seems like the church doing PR: was a good pious rich kid and used social media to proselytize, then a couple people prayed to him and claimed to be healed (what he is being canonized for). And when I looked for controversy around it I just found some extreme dark-age type Catholics who are even more self-subsumed than most.

    Thousands years old religions just don't work without asking for extreme delusion. I like that church etc helps form community and gathers folks, but that's about it; the message has been lost to all but a few.

  • 'We threw hand grenades!' Russian kids as young as 8 get taste of military training

  • Israeli government official arrested in Nevada in internet crimes against children sting

    Jump

  • It's just funny that: they had enough to charge him with a sex crime (luring a child into an act -along with eight other people in a sting op), no diplomatic visa, just the head of cybersecurity. And they tapped his wrist and let him go. With shit like this, maybe they cry about national security. Yea we know! That guy working for you is a serious threat to it!

  • Kremlin brags about US jets escorting Putin’s plane after Alaska summit

    Jump

  • In a world of people in charge flouting the rule of law and order, and even basic universal morality and reality, I see this as a completely reasonable course of action for Zelensky.

  • Nah, he made Drumpf and his staff do that, we were just forced to watch.

  • Trump says he’ll seek ‘long-term’ control of DC police and signals he’ll target other cities next

    Jump

  • Ah, so laying clear obvious groundwork for martial law. I can't wait for another slew of news articles somehow soft-balling this whole issue.

  • Yep, noscript on firefox has been available for like 15 years. And it certainly does "break" some sites as it blocks scripts by default. It can be a pain, though I consider it the safest way

  • "What are the charges?" "That's not necessary for you to know. All you need to know is that you'll be found guilty and executed."

    I thought I heard earlier today that they don't have any serious legal basis for this, so I'm curious how it will go.

  • On average, we sleep 8 hours a day; I’m 48, and have slept for 16 years.

  • 8 hours a day would amount to one third of our entire existence.

  • That's just it though. These folks seem IMPOSSIBLE to get through to. Though admittedly my experience may draw from some of the lead-alzheimer's cadre of boomers. I mean they spent fuckin decades making sure they had a poorly educated group that would VOTE, with the added bonus that so many of them were surreptitiously ending up brain damaged as well.

    I really wish I knew how to help these people. I've been compassionate, patient, understanding; and I've also brow beat the shit out of em, gotten in screaming matches (not too often, but they tend to respect a level of violence). And it tends to have little effect. It's the part of this that vexes and hurts me the most, and why I can't help but feel this will only be rectified with chilling violence that none of us want and are ill-suited to execute. Ugh.
