  • Well, let’s hear it

  • In the US Republican primary debate, moderators ask for a show of hands of how many candidates believe in human-caused climate change. Not a single candidate raises their hand.

  • He had probably already gotten his bit out of the way and didn’t know what to do hahaha

  • In the US Republican primary debate, moderators ask for a show of hands of how many candidates believe in human-caused climate change. Not a single candidate raises their hand.

  • To be fair, Desantis immediately interrupted and said they weren’t going to raise their hands “like children”. No candidate would raise their hand after a comment like that. All their specific answers were certainly not climate friendly, but they are at least a little bit more nuanced than the title implies

  • Wayne Brady Comes Out as Pansexual: 'I'm Doing This for Me'

  • Ok I’m just gonna move right past the “actual minorities” thing because… yikes. I hope that just came across wrong because it sounds incredibly insensitive

    I think representation is important for all minorities and I can empathize with wishing our elected politicians would do more. Biden has done a lot during his term to support the LGBT community, but obviously there is a lot more that needs to be done. He has promised to pass a bill reaffirming the rights of LGBT people after the recent Supreme Court case. That would be huge but we will have to see if Republicans in Congress prevent it from passing, as they’ve done with countless other progressive proposals.

    Here is some of the other work he’s done to support LBGT people. Hope you see that he’s paying far more than just lip service

  • Wayne Brady Comes Out as Pansexual: 'I'm Doing This for Me'

  • As a person who belongs to “the most celebrated people group in the US”, I think it’s important for people like me to see ourselves represented in the world. We are a minority, so it’s noteworthy when a public figure comes out.

    And idk man I don’t feel celebrated all that much in the US. Every week I see religious protestors outside the gay bar in my city with signs saying that I’m going to burn in hell for all eternity. I’ve been called a removed more times than I can count for simply holding another man’s hand while walking down the street. I’ve been fired from a job waiting tables because the manager saw my boyfriend pick me up.

    Maybe your perspective, as someone who does not live every day of their life as a member of this community, is different. You might see the push to advocate for acceptance of LGBT+ people as “celebrating” them. It is not. It’s tolerance, and we still don’t even have that.

  • Selling the illusion of access: Devon Archer testifies about Hunter Biden’s use of his father’s ‘brand’

  • I know you’re just repeating talking points and not actually advocating for one side or the other, but I do want to provide some balance to this part

    use their influence to withhold international aid and pressure a foreign government to kill a corruption investigation into the company that you just so happen to sit on the board of

    The corruption investigation in Ukraine was being lead by an investigator, Viktor Shokin, who was himself so corrupt that he drew international condemnation (before this investigation was even opened)

    Multiple western governments, including the Obama administration, had demanded he be replaced for failing to prosecute corruption cases, and Ukrainian investigators and anti-corruption watchdogs have said that Shokin was fired because he had made no progress in the fight against corruption.

  • TIL the military cannot enlist a recruit with an IQ measured lower than 80 and is required to keep enlisted individuals with an IQ of 81-92 to less than 20% of the armed forces in active duty.

  • Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their blue checks

  • I agree with this sentiment but I think the real issue with this change is that Twitter Blue subscribers get their content’s visibility boosted. Without the blue checkmark visible, it’s impossible to tell who had their content boosted through organic engagement, and who paid for it

  • Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears

  • It’s ok, at least it’s just a website. Would be different if he was designing something like… oh idk… a car that people trust with their lives to drive itself. Or even a massive rocket carrying astronauts and valuable cargo.

  • Spotify’s first US price hike for Premium is coming next week

  • How difficult was it for you to abandon a social media website for a fediverse alternative?

  • Surprisingly not hard at all. I helped build tools for moderators on Reddit that were used by millions. When the API changes hit, it completely destroyed all of my work. I have no interest in dedicating my time casually or seriously to a site that treats me that way.

    I’m a habitual person but switching to the fediverse was like trading cigarettes for a vape. Same addiction, different delivery, more flavor 😛

  • Why Oppenheimer Deserves His Own Movie

  • The production value of his videos has gone up so much in recent years!

  • Tired of men lying about commitment

  • It’s not better if your master stops his friend from beating you and throws a scrap from the table.

    It wasn’t a scrap, it was exactly what they were asking for. And it was achieved without a strike that would have cost the economy billions. You are putting words in the unions mouth when their own words are right in front of you. They did not have to thank Biden. If they felt that Biden had “castrated” them they would not have spent so much time praising him for his help.

    Railroads now know they never have to negotiate again

    Well, except for this time… when they did exactly that. Not sure why you think next time would be different.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think everyone should have a right to unionize and I don’t think that Biden should have passed that law. I’m simply calling attention to the fact that Biden still fought hard to give the rail workers what they deserved, while still averting a strike, and was successful. To simply say he “castrated” the union and leave it at that, is ignoring the reality of the situation.

  • Tired of men lying about commitment

  • I wish more people knew this! I couldn’t even find a news article with this info. The site I linked is the unions official post.
