World News@lemmy.world•As Trump Marches US Toward Iran War, Critics Ask: Where's the 'Pushback' From Dems and Media? | Common DreamsEnglish
29·19 hours agoWar means more defense contracts, more defense contracts means more defense contracts in their districts. Which means more jobs, and that looks good at re-election time.
If the world were a game of Civ 6, the US would be full bore in to the domination victory condition. We never left the wartime economy and we don’t know how to.
We fucked.

1·2 days agoMost of the staff at the FDA are guys looking to leave the FDA and move in to the private sector. They’ll hand waive it through without much review.
Even if they weren’t, they’re so under staffed that they won’t have time to do much research anyway.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican Joins With Dems on Constitutional Amendment to Give Congress Power to Reject Trump Pardons
3·2 days agoFamous and notable coward Don Bacon grows a single atom of spine, to be surrendered upon his almost immediate retirement.
Fuck him, this is the most he’s spoken out as a representative of one of a handful of districts where he’d benefit from a little bipartisanship. And he waits until the end of his career to do the most milquetoast act of defiance he wanders across.
I’ve met him. He’s a nice guy, when he was in the air force at least he tipped pretty well. But he’s a coward. And that will be his legacy.
Certain hobbies just aren’t supported locally anymore. And if they are they’re at ridiculously inflated prices. I always check nearby first but 90% of the time I end up ordering online. Half the time when I do, the place I order from charges 10-15 dollars for shipping, or redirects to Amazon to complete the order anyway.
I put a lot of work in to not using Amazon, and frequently find myself with little else in the way of choice. I fucking hate it.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees.
1·7 days ago15 f is pretty chilly. 35 f is cold if it was warm yesterday, but warm if it was cold yesterday, 45 is the same. 5 f is really cold if it’s humid or windy, but tolerable otherwise.
-15f is where your teeth start to hurt if you open your mouth outside.
