Oh yay, I get to post the new image I found the other day!

Kevin begs to differ!! three panel comic from "poorly drawn lines" in which "Kevin the Magical Bird" is wearing shorts that don't cover his bird ass feathers

three panel comic from "poorly drawn lines" in which Kevin the Magical Bird is wearing shorts that don't cover his bird ass feathers. 1st panel: Kevin: "Do these shorts looks stupid?" 2nd panel: Grey bird: "I wouldn't say stupid." 3rd panel: Grey bird: "But I would be thinking it."

In Europe, the Dada (1916) and Surrealist (1920) movements began as a response to WWI. The atrocities committed during the war devastated humanity to the point where artists couldn't (or wouldn't) depict the human form, let alone realism.

If this is true, the end is nigh. What kind of content do they think this will encourage? Bots and low-quality rehashings will flood the place further.

Though I guess they'll get some juicy income from requiring this information:

email addresses, personal details, and tax and bank account information.

Good riddance!

George Harrison's estate denounced the use of the Harrison-written Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun" after the Trump campaign used the song to introduce Ivanka Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention.

The estate noted that Trump did not have permission to use this song, but that they would consider allowing him to use the Harrison song "Beware of Darkness".

🤣🤣

I cannot stand his voice; I always end up muting the TV and reading the closed captioning. Those poor people that have to do the live captioning though..

My McDonald's boycott is in it's 24th year. There is nothing to miss.

tyrannosaurus rex watches as THE comet hurtles towards earth, exclaiming, "oh no the economy!"

It was a pleasant surprise to hear the Meterologist on the video in that article specifically explain warming oceans from carbon are causing the increased frequency/intensity.

Probably be better to refrain from slurs. There are plenty of other, better insults to choose from :)

I like that the S is a $

Wayyy past the number of corporate billionaires I'd be comfortable having in politics, and for them to go from lobbying in the background to centre stage is worrying.

Same. Thought I saw Chuck E Cheese threatening to eat people on Lemmy before, but I'm pretty baked rn.

Edit: Oh, that's a thing

Terrifying Chuck E Cheese pic on the site "Know your meme" stating he will eat your soul.

Edit, Edit: OP said another family member posted it, so I am totally fine to keep smoking all the weed and not worry about the state of my mind 😀

I'm a woman and I don't have any social media. I just don't see the value in it when the cost is tracking and ads.

Honestly, it's not great to assume that someone is "arrogant and judgmental" because they don't fit in your boxes :|

There is a link in the article to an earlier article that covers her 1st request, in which there was an assessment:

Judge Michael Bohren ruled against Morgan Geyser, now 21, despite the testimony of two psychiatrists, including the medical director of Winnebago Mental Health Institute, who said she was ready to depart that hospital and return to the community under certain conditions.

I don't think anyone means to disparage the very real concerns facing USians, and I think non-USians recognize this affects every one of us regardless of country (I recently made a comment regarding this exactly).

I think that commenter was just using humour because it's quite overwhelming that within a week-- Trump's been shot at and Biden is stepping aside.

If us outsiders are feeling this, then I imagine it is so much worse for USians. I am empathetic to how stressful this must be, and hope for a candidate who annhilates Trump and leads your country towards healing.

Your comment reminded me:

I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.

I'm just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.

Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.

It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.

From the article:

″...And really, THAT song?” Dion’s management team quipped, spurring mocking social media posts about the Trump campaign using music from a movie about a sinking ship.

Damn OP, these are hilarious-- thanks :)

The woman who had no issue lunching with Putin in 2015 after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014? The woman whose current position is for not providing Ukraine with monetary/military assistance?

That's not a good record on genocide.

Firefox is open source, non-profit, and you can run Ublock Origin on Android. That's what made my decision for me.

Kamala fucking with Trump subliminally:

Image: Kamala smiling with hands outstretched, palms out-- showing off her totally normal-sized hands.

(Image: Lauren Boebert's face from post thumbnail-- ¾ angle. She has a very forced, mostly terrifying smile. The image is edited with a crudely drawn witch hat and text reads, "I'll grope you my pretty, and your little dog too".)

Agree that the expert testimony should be included in the posted article!

I found this article from when the trial was in progress, which includes the testimony for the second request:

https://apnews.com/article/slender-man-girl-stabbed-psychiatric-hospital-6ab1ab144b58540ece9d5b2531833f75

Two psychologists testified Wednesday that a Wisconsin woman who at age 12 stabbed a sixth-grade classmate nearly to death to please the online horror character Slender Man should not be released yet from a psychiatric hospital.

Morgan Geyser, now 21, wants to leave Winnebago Mental Health Institute with conditions. But one psychologist said the case has taken an unusual turn because Geyser claims she had been faking psychotic symptoms, which “doesn’t line up” with years of observation and treatment.

At least they're recycling, I guess.

What the ever-living fuck?

Shouldn't he get charged with obfuscating justice?! How many detective hours did he waste? How much did it cost to lug away?

I don't think this is the act of a sane and rational human, and I really just feel sorry for the bear.

"But of course, in Bedford Falls, it was always Christmas Eve."

(If there are any Red Dwarf fans)

Edit: Its probably rude for me not to leave a summary: Red Dwarf was a phenomenal BBC sci-fi comedy in the 80s. I'm referencing the book Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers wherein a game, Better than Life, leaves people festering and wasting away in reality as they're hooked up to a headset living a virtual utopia.

Only one of those is physically addictive, and the withdrawal can kill ya.

I'm unfamiliar with this news site, but they must know they have to do better on sources, because this sounds like reporting on rumours.

"Several social media users, including commentators and reporters..." (emphasis mine).

Interesting that the right is already accusing them of potentially using deepfakes in the future. Maybe they know of something captured in video, or maybe random blanket statements of innocence are necessary with a knob end like Trump.

I also hope no one was victimized.

Oof, source shit OP!

I am also trying DDG app tracker out. This is what I got after opening Simcity Buildit. Not really surprised, because Fuck EA, but some of the requests might be the linking of account. Still, 930-- damnnnnn.

excruciatingly long list with many corporations

Methinks this moron started the pearl clutching:

Twitter post from article-- text available there

Ugh, really? I hate the reboot/sequel cashgrabs of Sacred Eighties Shows 🥺 I'm scared to look up who will befoul the legacy of Keaton, Ryder, and Davis.

A non-USian, even I was dismayed when the results said Boebert won by 546 votes. Hopefully that's a motivator for next time.

Edit: It's Keaton, Ryder, and O'Hara. Fuckin Burton playing to my nostalgia; still feels like impending disappointment.

Very good point. #TrumpIsACoward was trending on his "Truth Social" at the start of this month-- I'm assuming they've all been vocal "yes men" up to this point. I can see it rattling him and causing doubt.

That and the sinking sensation he no doubt got after the "JD Vance was a mistake" articles.

I believe it happens on mobile b/c they are trying to force people to use their godforsaken app. Clicking desktop view bypasses the tomfoolery.

We are considered a micro-generation they have dubbed Xennials 1977-1983

Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.

I'm super tired and thought for a millisecond that was going to say CLIPPY.
