Does it feel like we're shifting back to normal or further into crazy?
  • I’ll take shitstorm for $100, Alex.

    Elections are still coming. “Inflation” hasn’t been tamed. We’re also waiting for the next pandemic. Planetary thermal events are in progress. Mega drought in the American Southwest threatens to cripple hydroelectric power generation and agriculture for millions.

    Normal? That’s just what they want you to think.

  • California whistleblower cop, fired for exposing misconduct, wins $900k settlement
  • Sadly, it’s the taxpayers footing the bill for this settlement.

    Don’t get me wrong, he has compensation coming, but how about from the salaries of those responsible? Or from their departmental budget for the next five years?

    Quit allowing them to dodge responsibility.

  • Willingham Sends Fables Into the Public Domain
  • OMFG! This is a shot across the bow of every skeevy publisher that’s done everything they can to screw the creators of myriad fictional characters in a variety of arenas. You go Mr. Willingham and god bless!

  • Ceiling fan efficiency rule draws ire of House Republicans
  • The roster of Republicans who signed the letter:

    The House committee’s letter was signed by Chairman Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), as well as Reps. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), Aaron Bean (R-Fla.) and Jake Ellzey (R-Texas).

    FL & TX ffs.

    Six or more day old accounts are currently serving dodgy links, under different subjects from your instance. Could someone look into this?

    Colorado cop fired for having sex with sex trafficking victim gets 58 days in jail
  • That’s some bullshit.

    “Davis (the victim of the assault) is struggling with accepting what kind of lenience the plea deal offers Kenoyer. Not only was he able to administratively resign from Cripple Creek PD, effectively allowing him to be hired on with another department in the future, but he also avoided prison time in a case originally charged as a class-3 felony punishable by up to 4-12 years in prison.”

  • Bug?

    Cannot post a reply to a photo in my feed, nor can I completely see the error message being returned to rectify matters.

    This, after updating to v 0.5 off the Apple AppStore.

    A little-publicized clause in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act has companies scrambling to recycle electric vehicle batteries in North America, putting the region at the forefront of a global race to undermine China's dominance of the field.

    Network Request Failed Error

    After the update this week, I could no longer log into the instance I first logged to, using Memmy.

    Every attempt was met with Unknown Error-Code Type…Network Request Failed, no feed and no joy.

    In frustration I deleted the app and reinstalled. Same error. So I created an entirely new account, with different server instance and user deets, and I can once again access the fediverse.

    Did my first instance shuffle from this mortal coil or what?

    Any tips or tricks, greatly appreciated.
