The Atlantic, run by a former IDF soldier, should shut the fuck up.
Let’s talk about ads in Google Chrome… proceeds to describe how the fediverse works.
Agree… I paid big for a 5 year standard notes subscription when they were still scrappy and the product wasn’t really all that polished. I hardly used it because it was buggy and the UI wasn’t that great. Now, it’s amazing and I am using it regularly. That said, the price has gone up substantially. I’d like to see it become part of the proton bundle.
Oh yeah completely normal for a US think tank president to be threatening bloodshed
Leave this old nerd alone
It’s documented that he had regular contact with the CIA and that the CIA stonewalled congress on providing information. The CIA even appointed one of Oswald’s handlers as a CIA liaison to congress, while covering up the connection. Congress had specifically requested the liaison have no connection to the case.

This is great
It’s pretty nuts that former CIA director Allen Dulles and the CIA killed a US president because he didn’t help them successfully conduct their coup in Cuba the way they did in Iran and Guatemala.
I don’t know if that’s the absolute norm. Sure, Airbnb might be easier to get a bigger place, but I find they’re usually pricier than hotels, unless you’re with a big group. I personally would rather stay in hotels just because it’s a more consistent experience. Airbnbs vary wildly and each host is different. You also have more responsibilities. I’d rather just be an anonymous customer with zero responsibilities.
He’s in a purple district.
Didn’t some evangelical fly there to get some photo ops around the passage of that bill? Truly disgusting, but shows you what they really think.
The skull thing is pretty dumb.
Well, sure there have always been some immigrants, so the question is why is it now leading to a right wing backlash? I think what is different is the high volume due to the Syrian civil war.
I think in the case of France and Europe, the Syrian civil war led to a lot of refugees coming. I’m sure they did find jobs, but it wasn’t the primary reason for their arrival.
The next official act of president Biden should be to drone strike a terrorist at Mar-a-Lago
So the POTUS gets to pick his jury, which Trump did.
Claude does this
Yeah and they want to install some profile that gives them access and puts your internet connection through their VPN. My coworkers look at me like I’m crazy because I carry a work device and a personal device. Like, why would I give my employer access to all of my web traffic on my phone? You’re crazy if you don’t carry two devices.
In another video on what his favorite phone is though, he picks an android. He does use both phones daily though because he likes to stay up to date and enmeshed in both OSes for his job. He prefers android though. If he covers a lot of Apple videos it’s probably just because those attract the most clicks. There is an entire media ecosystem around Apple. Some YouTubers purely post speculation videos about Apple. Many just repost different variations of Apple’s history and the Steve Jobs story.
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there, unless you don’t pay up.

Who killed Danny Casolaro?
Anyone recently watch the docuseries American Conspiracy about The Octopus Murders on Netflix? Any theories on who killed Danny Casolaro or any interesting information on some of his connections? I had never heard of the case before but, my god it’s like a rabbit hole that pulls you in.
What makes the average Lemmy user smarter than the rest of the population?
I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.
Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.
It's been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?
Anyone shop on Temu? What are your best finds?
There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.
Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12
Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16
Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.
Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?
