How many charges is “Mr. President” going to get?

Bad news for 63%

QHC , in Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends

That’s just straight up racism.

Still long way until it worth less than the Zimbabwean dollar.

BonesOfTheMoon , in "The Gulf of Mexico this week is the hottest it's been at any point in any year on record... Weekly averaged Gulf sea surface temperatures have never broken 87°F but this week topped 88F."

This summer is just awful just about everywhere. We’re doomed. And the US is paying for technology to vacuum up the ozone layer or some damn thing.

someguy3 , (edited ) in Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends

Dungan’s behavior is a perfect illustration of the “anti-woke” tap dance. The person alleging nefarious wokeness never admits to their own bigotry, instead pretending that they’re reacting to “woke” people who are “pushing” an agenda, in this case through innocuous poster art.

That is a very good take.

Also: it’s always projection. Conservatives push an agenda, so they assume everyone else does too.

ultrasquid ,

I really want people to start considering “woke” a slur. Its basically just a word the far right uses for people they don’t like, aka minorities.

I really want people to learn the actual meaning of the word - it really says it all. And normally I argue for lingual drift and accepting the changed meaning of words, but in this case most people don’t know the definition, but aside from a racial/identity implication, they’re using it mostly correctly

Woke means looking at the system critically, not believing the things politicians and public officials tell you at face value, seeing how it’s all designed to turn us against each other so we never attempt meaningful change.

In a phrase, it means “wake up to the lies and think for yourself”

Wow, those are quite damning allegations.

Sabin10 , in Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends

We need to stop diminishing racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry by calling them anti-woke.

NathanielThomas , in Two LGBTQ films were slapped with R and NC-17 ratings. Critics say queer sex scenes are treated differently

I have to admit that I’ve never gotten over the rampant rise in LGBT sex scenes in TV and films. I guess it just goes to show that my cishet upbringing took for granted that hetero sex scenes were normal.

I guess if I had my way I’d like to see less sex in general (all kinds, hetero or LGBT) unless it significantly contributes in some way to the story.

Still, I guess if you’re watching a movie that is known to be LGBT then you shouldn’t be surprised by seeing same sex content.

sharkaccident , in Texas Revamps Houston Schools, Closing Libraries and Angering Parents

Houston resident, lots of strong opinions on this.

First, this happened because schools have been underperforming for some time. The line in sand was crossed and the state decided to step in. Secondly, from my understanding with radio interviews and other online sources, they repurpose the library to redirect students who cause distractions in class. If you disrupt in the classroom, you join an isolated zoom session from the old library.

I’m not suggesting this approach will work, just letting everyone know the thought process.

dulce_3t_decorum_3st , in Mars is rotating more quickly, NASA mission finds | CNN
@dulce_3t_decorum_3st@lemmy.world avatar

More quickly than…?

Brokkr ,

The headline sucks, but the answer is in the 2nd paragraph.

Days are getting shorter by less then 1ms per year.

DigitalTraveler42 ,

I wonder if this means eventually Mars will become a tidal locked eyeball planet?

Graphine ,

That would only be if it STOPS spinning IIRC.

It’s spinning faster.

DigitalTraveler42 ,

Oh I misunderstood and got it backwards, spinning faster comes with other interesting problems to mitigate against.

This might be the beginning of the end for Putin. They’re going to “retire” him, if you know what I mean.

Burn_The_Right , in Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends

It’s almost like conservatives are racist and want to indoctinate kids into their conservative ideology of hate.

YoBuckStopsHere , in 'Blind Side' subject Oher alleges adoption was lie
@YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world avatar

Oher and Tiffany Roy married in 2022 after a 17 year relationship. Legally there shouldn’t be a conservatorship after that date. All his earnings should be returned to him.

LastSprinkles OP , in YouGov: UK EU membership referendum poll Rejoin 63% Stay Out 37% 8-9 August

If they were to apply to rejoin, as well as joining the Schengen and the euro, I’d want them to have a minimum 60% in favour in a referendum (not just in the polls). Something like a membership of the EU, a political project, requires strong public support.
