News@lemmy.world•‘Like a Military Occupation’: Clashes Rise With Federal Agents in MinneapolisEnglish
15·10 hours agoIn what sense is this “like a military occupation,” instead of simply a military occupation?

News@lemmy.world•Dilbert creator Scott Adams dies aged 68 after prostate cancer diagnosisEnglish
39·13 hours agoThat’s by far the finest Dilbert comic ever, so of course it’s not from Scott Adams.

1·4 days agoI’ve never used Qwant or Ecosia, but I’ll wager their ads are as easy to block as the ads in Google search.

3·6 days agoHe’s only quitting the SPOG job. He’ll still be out there, being a bad cop five days every week.

News@lemmy.world•Denmark in ‘crisis mode’ as Trump sets sights on Greenland after Venezuela attackEnglish
22·9 days agoIn “full crisis mode,” this should be the first step, and I hope it’s what Denmark & Greenland do.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Seahawks win NFC West, earn NFC’s top seed in playoffs after handling 49ersEnglish
2·9 days agoYeah, me too. Baseball and basketball are more about finesse than brute strength, so I’d go with the baseballers.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Seahawks win NFC West, earn NFC’s top seed in playoffs after handling 49ersEnglish
7·10 days agoOK, but here’s my question: Which team would win, Seahawks or Mariners, if they played basketball?
Still watching, but this is great – THANK YOU neuracnu – and 💖 THE TRANSIT FAIRY DID THE SWEARING IN! 💖

News@lemmy.world•Without disclosure, New York Magazine digitally removed a senior adviser to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani from a December 17 cover photo after she resignedEnglish
3·12 days agoThis seems like just about the tinyest conceivable violation of journalistic ethics, which is rich indeed coming from the New York Times, which still parrots Trump’s lies as if they’re plausible.

News@lemmy.world•US strikes 3 alleged drug vessels and leaves survivors -- now a search-and-rescue operationEnglish
16·12 days agoThe headline refers to these boats as “alleged drug vessels,” but “alleged” means charges that haven’t been proven in court. By plan, there people will never be charged or see a courtroom, and never have any chance to be innocent until proven guilty. Only the Trump administration — a very, very unreliable source — says they’re drug smugglers or “narco-terrorists,” but the only thing we know with certainty is that they’re target practice, which makes these killings premeditated murder.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•What Americans in a 1998 poll expected to happen by the year 2025English
1·13 days agoAdmittedly, I hang out with good people not shit-heads, but I don’t know anyone who’d hesitate to vote for a woman because she’s a woman. Give us someone worth voting for, and you’ll have our votes.

4·13 days agoAh, just a bunch of books for pointy-headed scientists. Murica don’t need no science anyhow.

News@lemmy.world•15 People Have Died in Crashes Where Tesla Doors Wouldn’t Open | There are no official statistics on the dangers of electric handles. So Bloomberg did its own analysis.English
57·23 days agoWhen I was young and naïve in my 50s, I thought US cars had safety requirements, and the era of rolling death traps had been beaten back by Ralph Nader. Must’ve been my mistake. Is there nobody in the government looking at safety issues like un-openable doors?

News@lemmy.world•US justice department halts funding for human-trafficking survivorsEnglish
49·23 days agoOne might get the impression the Trump admin isn’t particularly opposed to human trafficking. Perhaps Bari Weiss over organize a CBS News debate on the topic.

News@lemmy.world•US strikes two more alleged drug boats, bringing death toll to over 100English
15·26 days agoThe strikes have now killed 104 people, according to an Agence France-Presse tally based on official data.
104 killings is probably an undercount, but it puts Hegseth & Trump in fourth place.
Prison for everyone involved, please. These are killings unjustified under any sane reading of any American or international law.

Ask Lemmy@sh.itjust.works•Will an anti advertisement movement ever materialize?English
2·26 days agoI am the filthiest fucking fuckmouth you’ll ever fucking meet, but I’d suggest avoiding “fuck” in the name. It’s like a fucking wall or a locked fucking door, that keeps too many folks away or fucking tells them not to take the fucking idea seriously.














Voting blue-no-matter-who has given us a parade of Democrats who stand for nothing, do nothing, and eagerly cooperate with fascism. I’m too old to waste another vote on such a charade.
