morphballganon , in Netflix is planning to raise prices... again

Anyone else think the thumbnail was designed to look like a MAGA hat at quick glance?

GenesisJones , in NY woman who fatally shoved singing coach, age 87, is sentenced to more time in prison than expected

I found a different article that quoted her “former friends” and one said she was basic. Another said she’s the poster child for white privilege and a third said she’s nothing but trouble lol

Like damn wtf… How are you this hated?

jigsaw250 ,

I’m going to go out on a limb here, but I think someone who pushes the elderly in fits of rage isn’t very chill.

PugJesus , in What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? A fired Trump White House staffer offers a tantalizing clue
@PugJesus@kbin.social avatar

Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the 3,000-word anonymous article said, would amount to a “declaration of war against the Globalist American Empire.” The sender of the texts was offering Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, a playbook for the takeover and transformation of Twitter. As the anniversary of Musk's purchase approaches, the identity of the sender remains unknown.

The article then expressed sympathy for the Russian-government-controlled news outlets Russia Today and Sputnik, saying they had been unfairly “canceled” after Russia invaded Ukraine. Musk ended the use of “state-sponsored media” labels on Twitter this year, dropping it from the accounts of Russia Today, Sputnik and many other state-owned organizations. The change reportedly prompted RT editor Margarita Simonyan to send Musk a note of appreciation.

IamRoot , in The UAW Decided to Use a Novel Strike Strategy. It’s Working.

From the article:

“Bargaining with the Big Three in public, all at the same time, also turns the tables on the companies. UAW members aren’t competing in a race to the bottom — instead, the companies must compete to sign a good deal first and prevent more disruption to their operations. And everyone knows who the holdouts are.”

Striking against the big three at the same time is new as well as using social media to highlight the union’s requirements.

Also more or less the spez strategy.

_haha_oh_wow_ , in Man accidentally shot child while officiating wedding near Lincoln, deputy says
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wow, what an idiot, that man should not be allowed to have guns. Properly made blanks aren’t even expensive and guns don’t “just go off” unless there is something seriously wrong with them, in which case, they should be taken out of use immediately and serviced or destroyed.

@ares35@kbin.social avatar

in this case, the 'something seriously wrong' was with the person wielding it; but your remedy still works regardless.

Could be both, but yeah, you’re not wrong.

krayj , in Trump Attorney Screwup Means Trump Won’t Get Jury Trial in NY Fraud Case

So the repeated (ad nauseum) Trump claim “I only hire the best people” isn’t accurate?

Asafum ,

It’s absolutely accurate, we just never asked by what metric “best” was being measured.

“Best” in this case was apparently “someone dumb enough to think Trump won’t screw them out of money.” :P

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

“They didn’t ask for payment up front.”

If Trump could hire the best lawyers money could buy, he would.

Problem is he is either stiffed his previous lawyers, so the smart ones don't trust him.

Or those lawyers are now witnesses in his legal battles. So they can't represent him.

orbitz ,

Yeah when your lawyers have to record you (believe it’s something from Cohen’s testimony) to have a backup of what you requested, you don’t get the best lawyers. Trump would never hire someone that seems smarter them himself, he has to be the most intelligent person in the room (lol). No one intelligent would really act dumb enough to be hired by someone who is notorious for not paying, mean unless there’s other factors but he’s not getting a highly regarded and clean lawyer at this point.

CosmicTurtle ,

Anyone else have fun thinking about how fictional lawyers would represent Trump?

Like I could see someone like Lionel Hutz representing Trump. Maybe Barry Zuckercorn.

Not Bob Loblaw. I think Saul Goodman might pass on him. Kim Wexler I could see doing it probono.

n3m37h ,

I’ll let the team over at Legal Eagle answer that one

Wrench ,

So, I must have followed a link to one of their videos at some point, because the YouTube algorithm spammed me their shit for months until I blocked it.

What kind of content is it? The thumbnails and titles looked rage baity

Crozekiel ,

It’s actually pretty decent legal oriented YouTube entertainment. He’s a practicing lawyer that talks about current events and discusses possibly relevant laws or sometimes legal procedures. Sort of a more serious version of attorney tom.

CosmicTurtle ,

It’s pretty good. He definitely has a bias and I don’t agree with him 100% of the time.

For example, he advocates that forced arbitration agreements isn’t that bad. I don’t agree with that at all.

But it’s good content and high quality.

chiliedogg ,

He’s actually pretty good. I really enjoy some of his reviews of legal movies.

gravitas_deficiency ,

I only hire the best people*

*that will actually agree to work for me, which is a small and shrinking list.

and probably not get paid

Aliendelarge , in Invasive ants are a huge problem in Australia, but a classic computer game could help solve it

Kinda dissapointed its not SimAnt. Then again, maybe that had the wrong goals. Still, you trade bodies with the spider and go to town on those other ants.

SnowdenHeroOfOurTime , in Over 60 percent of Gen Z have an anxiety disorder

They couldn’t even write the subheading without making a typo so yeah top quality shit here

fne8w2ah , in Tom Hanks says AI version of him used in dental plan ad without his consent

That’s exactly why SAG-AFTRA are still striking rn.

bobman ,

No it’s not.

WoahWoah ,

They are being hyperbolic. It is pretty clearly and obviously related.

captsneeze , in Trump Attorney Screwup Means Trump Won’t Get Jury Trial in NY Fraud Case

I’m just some idiot on the internet who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but…

Is it possible this isn’t a mistake? If you’re going to try to win a trial through corruption and wrongdoings, it seems easier to illicitly win over (and have it stay quiet) one person than half of a jury, no?

OrteilGenou ,

You only need one juror though, no?

captsneeze ,

I’m honestly not sure. Does a jury vote need to be unanimous for a guilty verdict?

Googlyman64 ,

The jury has to be unanimous no matter the decision. If they can’t agree, they either deliberate as long as it takes, or if the jury is hung, then they’ll reduce the charges.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS ,

This judge already appears to have an axe to grind with Trump, so, uh, it probably would have been easier with a jury.

Madison420 ,

That’s their play, they don’t want a jury because they’re trying to pay the groundwork for a mistrial via judicial bias but that is a high jump and they’re stumbling on molehills.

DigitalFrank ,

Not a mistake. They plan to win on appeal.

winterayars ,

Sounds like he’s setting up an appeal to a sympathetic judge on the basis of “the evil liberals were mean to me!”

little more than validation of the obvious at this point. who cares, move on

militaryintelligence , in Trump Attorney Screwup Means Trump Won’t Get Jury Trial in NY Fraud Case

Did he fire his attorneys? No? Then it was on purpose. He’s building up to some political bullshit.
