At least eight dogs died from heat stroke and multiple others were rushed to veterinary hospitals on Thursday after an air conditioning unit malfunctioned while they were being taken to a training facility in Michigan, according to authorities.
Third-party data suggests that Threads may have lost many more than half of its active users. Daily active users for Threads on Android dropped from 49 million on July 7 to 23.6 million on July 14, and then to 12.6 million on July 23, web analytics company SimilarWeb reported.
Oakland resident James Lee Ramsey, 27, was taken into custody Friday for allegedly kicking the woman to the ground and assaulting her, the district attorney said in a statement. He is also accused of attacking a witness at the scene.
Yeah no kidding. This dude is creme de la scum for both being a racist piece of shit, and absolute trash for assaulting an elderly woman who couldn't defend herself. I truly hope for justice for that old woman.
Kudos to the witness that detained him.
There aren't many times that I immediately think that someone needs to be removed from general society and this guy definitely made that list.
Maybe. But all the reversals are politically motivated so depends how much their base will get hard on reversing it. I’m sure there are other juicier targets for them to get through first. Unless it’s Trump. Trump seems to be more interested in the appearance of money and power.
Hey what do originalists think about the power of judicial review? What do they think about that section of the Constitution and the Framers’ intent behind delegating that power to the Supreme Court?
The Constitution declares that the House has the sole power to impeach, and the Senate the power to try the case. It does not limit the scope of such impeachments. Alito is just as subject to impeachment as any other member of the Federal Government.
edit: to cut to the chase, judicial review is not in the Constitution (go ahead, go find it), was not intended by the Framers, and was a power claimed by the court over a decade after it was set up, in Marbury v. Madison
Amending the Constitution to fix the problems with a court that’s been arrogating extra powers to itself from the beginning hardly seems workable.
From an originalist standpoint, the only consistent stance on judicial review seems to be that it shouldn’t exist. If we hew to the original ideas of the Founders and the plain text of the Constitution, the Supreme Court’s powers are at best poorly defined and not clearly enforceable.
Well, it's still Facebook owned after all, and given that Facebook still exists, it's kind of redundant with it. Many of the people who were on Twitter (like myself) were on it because it WASN'T Facebook or Facebook owned, and so we wouldn't go to that platform anyway.
Plus, it's not the only competitor out there, although to be fair, there's way too many competitors right now, and it needs to whittle down to like 3 big ones or so. And these ones should be friendly to apolitical types, moderates, and sane conservatives.
Like it or not, online liberals such as ourselves are the vocal minority. Most people in life (and even on the net, even though the internet trends more liberal) aren't as politically motivated as some in the Fediverse would assume. We're in a bubble / echo chamber. Especially on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.
Reddit and Twitter are both heavily liberal, as is here in the fediverse. FB is a mixed bag, but I think you’re assumption that liberals are the vocal minority is incorrect. More liberals use the internet than the dying breed of conservatives.
What reddit are you talking about? Lol Reddit is so liberal that anything remotely resembles conservative opinion on literally anything will get you down voted and called a fascist or Nazi… support the 2nd amendment and you’re a liberal like myself… I’m all of a sudden a child killer and fascist racist pig
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the child killing and fascist racist pig State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The conservative deep state keeps that definition of “free” in the DL.
While this is true, early adopters—those who stay, use, promote new services and keep them active— tend to belong to the nerd and techies subgroups. Who are the most likely to care about privacy. Threads simply didn’t offer anything of value and demanded to take your soul and life for eternity. Ultimately, if the tech savvy people don’t stay to explain and ease the adoption of the platform, that’s when the people who don’t care about privacy leave.
At this point it has to be intentional from these companies.
Because some basic data analysis should show that while the majority of content are comments and shorter posts made from mobile devices, but posts with self-created media beyond meme-templates, longer text posts, etc. tend to be more from computers. And more extensive moderation also often comes from desktop.
It’s what should have been expected though. Lots of people check it out during the hype, and later only those who actually found it useful/interesting/fun remain.
Most of the hype-launched services should have similar numbers.
It was absolutely expected, look at how Zuck frames it in the article. “More than they expected” stayed. They were parading the 100Million sign ups to brag, nobody thought all those people would stay.
