Brickhead92 , in Boaters in Florida find 56 pounds of barnacle-covered cocaine

God damn! Imagine finding 50 pounds of cocaine just like that.

BruceTwarzen ,

What do you even do when you suddenly find 40 pounds of cocaine?

SidewaysHighways ,

Not a lot options for dealing with 35 lbs of ketracel white

Do the right thing, and turn in all 30 lbs of that cocaine.

acchariya ,

Yes. Better make sure that 10lbs of cocaine doesn’t get into the hands of people and is properly destroyed by authorities

Never mind, the whole cocaine thing was just a rumor.

Sniff.

2ugly2live , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage
@2ugly2live@lemmy.world avatar

Am I the problem? Has this been the result of my actions? Have I done something henious? No, it’s the audience that’s wrong - this fucking chode

Boo-fucking-hoo. I’m so sorry people weren’t so dazzled by your athletic ability to ignore the fact that you’re a rapist. I’m sure the 12 year old you raped is also real fucking worried if her rapist is getting his feelings hurt. I mean, rape is one thing, but bulling? I mean, we have to draw the line somewhere. /s

FlyingSquid , in 'Worst nightmare of my life': Solitary confinement rises at Houston-area ICE detention center
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

This is just fucking disgusting.

The PHR and Harvard reports revealed more than 14,000 solitary confinement placements nationwide during a five-year period ending in September 2023, spurring legislation to enact harsher oversight. Since then, the Houston Landing has identified an additional five cases at Montgomery Processing Center, including Bautista’s. Four exceeded the 15 days of confinement defined by the UN as a form of torture.

Private prisons for immigrant detention have increased since President Joe Biden took office, despite a pledge to reduce the practice. More than 90 percent of detained immigrants are in facilities run by private prison companies, compared to 81 percent during the last year of the Trump administration. GEO Group, the private prison company that runs Montgomery Processing Center, reached a record $1 billion in profits from ICE detention in 2022.

The use of solitary confinement in federal prisons has also increased despite Biden’s pledge to reduce the practice.

Bautista filed more than 20 complaints. He protested his prolonged detention. He requested medical help for tooth and back pain. He filed a maintenance request to flush the toilet because of its vomit-inducing smell. He alleged physical abuse by staff. He requested legal calls. He couldn’t understand why he was there.

Not only is illegal immigration a civil crime, not a criminal one, his wife is a citizen. He was in jail for domestic violence and I will not defend that, but that is not why he was put in solitary. It was only after they discovered his immigration status that it happened. He did nothing to deserve this. No one deserves what actually happens in solitary confinement. It is not just being put in a cell away from everyone else. It’s horrific. I’m not going to dig up examples because it’s too sickening, but you can find plenty of former inmates describe why they now have severe PTSD.

Asafum , in Trump campaign office near DC burglarized, police say

I’ll absolutely put my tinfoil hat on for this, but I swear I would not be surprised to find they did this to themselves to play victim and create an “evil Democrats” drama for right wing media to run with for their audience since they’re fumbling so hard with Biden dropping out.

The two minutes hate needs a new Goldstein since it doesn’t seem to be working currently with Kamala.

or it was one of his fanbois in a lifted truck, but couldn’t afford the trump signage on it.

FundMECFSResearch ,

Your ref makes me think. Similarly to 1984, half of america is in a post-truth world.

If watergate happened again today, Trump would say “fake news”, liberals would be outraged, and a week later everyone would have forgotten. Welcome to dystopia.

grue ,

That’s exactly why Fox News was created in the first place: literally by a member of the Nixon Administration, as a countermeasure against the media reporting the truth during future Watergate-type Republican scandals.

www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/…/352363/

Asafum ,

Yup! As another user pointed out, it’s exactly why fox news even exists. Their prime time opinion shows are almost literally the two minutes hate they just don’t have a single Goldstein, they have a Goldstein of the week/month.

Every night they sing lullabies of “hate the liberal. Hate the left. Hate hate hate. Be angry.” They’re like the opposite of the Daily Show, instead of laughter they use anger.

fine_sandy_bottom , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

I know he intended this as hyperbole but I 100% would not be surprised if the reason this popped into his head is because he’s been making arrangements for exactly this.

If I were him I wouldn’t want to hang around in the US after a loss in November. It’s all or bust.

Saganaki ,

He’ll have some trouble if he actually tries. Secret service detail for former presidents and all.

asexualchangeling ,

What is the protocol for that I wonder, if he is found guilty in the court of law and tries to go into hiding, what does their job tell them they have to do?

tate , in Hot Summer Threatens Efficacy of Mail-Order Medications | Temperatures inside delivery trucks can reach twice the recommended threshold, but federal rules on drug storage conditions do not apply
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

“Twice” a temperature, whether in Celsius or Fahrenheit, is a meaningless measure.

silence7 OP ,

Physics-wise, unless it’s Kelvin, yes.

In terms of perception; it’s pretty clear that they’re talking about having a degree measurement that’s twice the numeric value of one in Fahrenheit.

tate ,
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

But that doesn’t tell anyone anything about how far above the threshold we’re talking about. Could be 2 degrees instead of 1. That’s not much. or it could be 60 degrees instead of 30. That seems important.

wondrous_strange ,

The title says ‘twice the recommended threshold

paraphrand ,

60 vs 120

50 vs 100

tate ,
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

or 1 vs 2

disguy_ovahea ,

The article is more clear than the headline.

But the temperatures inside the cargo areas of delivery trucks can reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, according to drivers — far exceeding the range of 68 to 77 degrees recommended by the national organization that sets standards for drug handling.

NegativeInf , in J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk Named in Imane Khelif's Cyberbullying Lawsuit

Toss her Azkaban

MindTraveller ,

The level of cruel and unusual punishment present in Azkaban is beyond what any person could ever deserve to be subjected to. And the fact that the heroes do not abolish Azkaban by the end of the books is a sign of Rowling’s neoliberal, anti-change worldview. Harry and the gang save the one single innocent person from Azkaban, but everyone else still suffers, having every happy memory drained away. Rowling believes in punishment, not rehabilitation.

theilleists ,

And this exact problem is a central theme of the superior Harry Potter story, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

Zink , in Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’

Somebody should let these geniuses know that nuclear weapons are now a thousand times stronger, and there are thousands of times as many spread all over the world.

Plus they’re doing the old people thing where they pretend the past was all great. Plus there’s probably some kind of bigoted/xenophobic undertone, because after all it didn’t happen to the people that matter to them. (Which is very few people honestly)
