I think we can safely assume this is about the UK’s easily exploited libel laws, and a certain wizard author’s vast bank accounts. But I think it sucks. Amnesty is a huge, internationally recognized organization. Make her sue you! Defend yourself! You’re right!

convincing people that computers are smart was a huge mistake. computers are exactly as stupid now as they were in 1975, they're just much faster at stupid.

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.

It would be truly interesting to see how the "sacrifice the elderly and vulnerable" anti-AC team react if you turn the clock back a few years and switch "air conditioning" with "Covid countermeasures"

Advocates are encouraging the person making the allegations to go to police instead of the church. Five prior decades-old accusations against the priest have been "cleared" by the Archdiocese in recent years.

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Users on Reddit are saying these are the ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine who murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero today. A still image from a video obtained by CNN shows these two at the murder scene.

Everyone read The Truth About Baked Beans!

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery. Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade. TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?

LIFE RULES: Insulate your house with books to ward off evil Oppose the zombie AI apocalypse Never click on a link to the Daily Mail Use double the recommended amount of garlic Always stop to say hi to sheep And to horses too (but in a fake posh voice) I think that's more or less everything covered?

i continue to point out that none of the VALID, non-pervert usecases for these devices would be impaired by legally mandating that they can only be manufactured in OSHA Safety Orange and must emit loud beeps at all times when recording.

Wife: why do you kick ice cubes under the fridge? Me, thinking of the tiny blender I put under there so the mice could make margeritas: no reason

and finally the po'boy comes by its name honestly: it was invented by a café in new orleans who fed streetcar union members for free during a labor strike in 1929. they issued this lovely letter. "We are with you till h--l freezes, and when it does, we will furnish blankets to keep you warm."

Can you believe someone would just be rendered to the jurisdiction of another country and imprisoned thousands of miles away, a possibility which has never occurred to anyone in US immigration enforcement

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

how I'm tryna be

I think the problem with the Rock is that the Rock still thinks he’s really cool while John Cena realized that he’s a ridiculous human being and did interesting things with that and Batista realized he was a ridiculous human being and decided to become Daniel Day Louis

Satan is nibbling on a little Graham Cracker while waiting for the main course.

felt cute might delete later

“But I want to tell you what he was like to hang out with in private when there were no stakes” is a very common response to the death of a person who had immense power in situations with high stakes.

remember, be careful what you post on a day like this. If you do it right, you can get illegally fired for being disrespectful to Lindsay Graham and then win a massive lawsuit about 10 months from now and retire with 2 million in your pocket

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

I like to say that I’m congenitally innumerate, but in any case I’m referring to the Nov 3 midterms in the previous post. 60 days, though, should see us well into the AI and mass media mindfucking we should all be bracing ourselves for.

He never deleted it.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Somehow death by natural causes is the only thing that’s been able to clean up America’s corrupt political machine

lol get wrecked yinzers

Most of all, Lindsey Graham should be remembered as a passionate defender of rapists.

dem politician when the news breaks: me and Sen. Hitler may not have agreed on much but at the end of the day we as americans have a duty to come together and mourn a man of principle, regardless of politics your 62 year old aunt on a public facebook account: awesome! hope more die soon!😃

There's an obvious opportunity for congressional Democrats to benghazi this tragedy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I hate this so much.

why do these mediterranean interlopers refuse to integrate into our way of life

i don't know how you were raised, but here, we speak ill of the dead: it makes the ghosts sad and they leave

“Verify your age” When I was a kid, Radio Shack sold vacuum tubes and leatherworking kits.

*pinches bridge of nose, eyes closed, takes a deep breath* so do we have ANY idea how many living US Senators there are right now?

The discord was lit today

As your resident disinformation expert I am here to tell you that anyone speculating about Graham’s cause of death is not doing a public service, they’re juicing the algorithm for clicks (and often revenue). Old white guys have heart attacks and die all the time.

I'll specifically add my thoughts to this, so there's no confusion. Lindsey Graham was a terrible person who used his political power for evil. We should absolutely call that out. But don't be homophobic about it. We can criticize his hypocrisy without the punchline being, "Ha ha he was gay."

Maybe I'm not overthinking, maybe I'm just regular thinking about stuff that’s overhappening

Randomly remembered how Lindsey Graham said Rene Goodman deserved to die.

1. There are LOTS of blatantly anti-Catholic Chick tracts - I remember seeing these as a kid in Georgia in the mid-90s, and my parents were atheists/agnostics. 2. If you don’t know what a Chick tract is, you may be very sheltered from the reality of how insane most American evangelicals are.

this guy is gonna be mayor for life

Since they've restricted replies and quotes, if they think it's genuinely sad, why the eye roll emoji? @holdmybooks.bsky.social you didn't mention elected officials, I did, to point out you're mocking a SA survivor while everyone's liberal faves hagiographize him?

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)

Uncertainty surrounding Mitch McConnell is frustrating to establishment Democrats. They have all these anecdotes about what a collegial guy he is to work with and how fun he is to be around, but you need an official death for that shit to really land.
