News orgs, and frankly many public institutions, seem to be lliability averse to a fault. My guess is journalists have generally been instructed to use passive language to avoid libel lawsuits due to the expense of settlement or counsel fees.

Passive language has become so common in journalism these days, and the far right terrorist cohort realizes the vocal minority bad faith pearl clutching schtick works well enough that they continue to threaten litigation against objective truth regularly. It’s Trump’s MO, and I assume it works because those being sued are terrified his base will be out for blood if he doesn’t get his way.

The more the news orgs settle and normalize this shit, the more inertia there is to get back to reality. It’s maddening, tbh.

This guy and his comedy has sucked for a long time.

She was qualified? Or she was a Project 2025 stooge?

Thanks for the info. I know we’re in a league of our own, but the numbers are interesting and sobering.

Maybe we should consider going in the opposite direction? Require gun safety and firearms training in elementary, middle, and high school; implement first time gun buyer programs for qualifying low income Americans; ban all concealed carry permits; allow firearms in your carry-on at the airport.

I’m being facetious, but California’s Mulford Act shows Republicans can pass gun control laws if they’re terrified that their outgroups are also armed. Though I’m sure a similar law today would be entirely partisan and only apply to their opposition or something. As a sidenote, I do think everyone should have at least a basic education in gun safety.

Maybe implement a voluntary gun buyback program and tighten up gun laws like Australia? Might not have prevented this case, but it’s better than the old “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” approach.

Sure, but couldn’t your example be called a (huge/round) calzone with extra toppings?

Wow, this reads like the mad ravings of an addict losing their fix. They really are terrified.

I don’t think they are different? Here’s what the phone, messaging, and contacts app icons look like on my pixel 8.

Edit: I’m a dummy. I just realized you meant the contacts’ icons in each of those apps. I just confirmed those colors can vary between each app. I agree, that does seem like an oversight.

That rings a bell now that you mention it. A shock title is so much more fitting!

For real, immersive sim fans that haven’t played it are missing out. It probably should’ve had a different name though.

Hi-Fi Rush has a kinda indie vibe. Tango Gameworks studio isn’t huge, but they’ve made fairly well known AAA survival horror games. HiFi is more narrowly focused but still published by Bethesda/Microsoft.

We are on the exact same wavelength

People are likely willing to hear you out, but you haven’t exactly made a point to hear out.

What details do you find unclear? From what I’ve read, the judge notified ICE that they didn’t have a valid judicial warrant to arrest their target. After that, the judge allowed ICE’s target to leave the courthouse, presumably because the immigrant was not required to comply.

There’s a growing pattern of ICE attempting to take advantage of people’s lack of ability to identify a judicial warrant to pressure them into compliance and/or arrest. I think it’s reasonable to caution anyone that has to interact with any agency that’s known to be shady.

That’s awesome! Glad to hear that silver lining.

After reading the article, I’m left wondering how US food waste breaks down between originating from individual households vs grocery retailers, commercial retail food/restaurants and ag suppliers.

It’s been a while, but I remember reading about how there’s little incentive (maybe it’s even prohibited?) for retailers to send reject and expiring food to food banks instead of throwing it out. I feel like this should be more of a concern considering the demand to food banks is probably going to increase rapidly while funding and donations will likely decrease with the current economic turmoil.

I suspect we could curb a significant amount of food waste by creating a pathway to divert food waste instead of disposing it outright. Of course, such pathway would need to meet food safety standards while providing a clear regulatory framework to address liability and logistical aspects to make it more profitable to divert vs dispose.

Anyone from outside of the shithole have any input on how this works in your country?

Yep! It made the rounds back when he became Speaker of the House.

Idk, it’s well documented that he has a weird “porn accountability” arrangement with his kid though. Meaning they monitor each other’s keystrokes to make sure the other’s not stroking their sin stick.

Spending a shitload of time on here bitching that other people aren’t resisting the way they want apparently.

I’m pretty sure that’s Thunder. I haven’t tried it myself though.

Hmm… I’m not in those departments, but I already have a conclusion for their report: if that happens, you will be assassinated.
