I suspect it’s less due to the rhetoric of Donald Trump & more due to the influence of Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson & Joe Rogan.

Can someone Australian explain why there was so much opposition to this?

Of course neither of the book banners was willing to speak about their efforts on the record. They know how bad it looks, two people churning out paperwork to gum up the public schools.

I grew up in CA but now live in the southern US. I get really tired of hearing this. Yes, the cost of living is ridiculous and the wildfires are terrible. But it’s actually a lovely place, on balance, and I enjoy my visits. The folks here seem to think CA is a crime-ridden urban hell.

People are upset because a lot of masc-presenting people crowded the job fair, cut in line, and shoved people out of the way. Others who were attending expected the conference to be a place safe from that sort of aggression & it wasn’t.

I just don’t understand who he thinks is going to vote for him. The number of centrist conspiracy theorists who will vote for a former Democrat has got to be vanishingly small.

Impressive. I wonder if any other labels will follow suit.

I suspect that it’s simpler to make a standalone display as proof of concept. If it’s popular enough, laptops could follow. This monitor will be great for film sets & videos. No flicker!

I agree. This recognition sends a signal to would-be genocidal regimes in Europe that they’re not going to get away with things like they might have in the past.

What a coincidence! I also had scrambled eggs with feta on toast for breakfast. Only I had tomato slices instead of dill. Delicious! May try dill tomorrow.

Interesting look at the mayoral race in Montgomery, AL. The incumbent mayor has done a good job, but he’s Black. The White good ol’ boys network has recruited some guy from Florida to run against him and regain their seat of power.

At a communications conference last week, a Bloomberg reporter told the attendees that most tier 1 journalists are looking for stories on LinkedIn now instead of Twitter. It’s gone from vital to junk in just a few months. Without its moderators, Reddit faces the same fate: lots of activity, but most of it junk.

My cousin helps run a men’s shelter in the Pacific Northwest. The building doesn’t have air conditioning because they never needed it. During last summer’s heatwave, they had residents come lie on cots in the common rooms downstairs because the apartments were too hot, and sent people to city cooling stations.

Now they’re going to be exes and ohs.

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know he was on Bandcamp! I love his song Super Dope.

Memmy won’t upvote comments for me. Does it work for you?

No, but I found this thread! Who are your favorite hyper pop artists right now?

I’m a graphic designer at a research laboratory. It’s exactly what I want to be doing & I feel very lucky to have this job. I spend my days designing fact sheets, logos, infographics, and various corporate communications stuff. I also fill in as a photographer some days.

I recommend watching the movie Mr. Jones if you’d like to learn more about the Holodomor.

Very laid back.

I was also using Mlem & lost it during an update even though I have a new iPhone. I tried Memmy for iOS but it’s kind of terrible. So now I just use the browser.

I like Earl Grey, hot, with milk. The kids call this a “Dirty Picard.”

Not gonna lie, that sounds awful. Slimy.

I’ve been using the beta version of SDXL & it still has trouble with limbs.

Great choice. I was going to recommend Sweet Baby Ray’s, but Stubbs is pretty similar.

It’s a little surprising to me that he’s still posting on Instagram. I’d have thought someone who defied the Russian government wouldn’t be flouting it in the open. But I guess he probably knows better than most what they’re actually capable of, or maybe he knows that chasing down draft dodgers on the other side of the world isn’t a high priority right now.

This is what I’m waiting for. I began to leave Reddit the day they blocked .compact.
