He was really gonna split the crazy person vote too…

Tilgare , in Starbucks’ CEO is out. Chipotle’s Brian Niccol is taking over

Strange that I am in active boycott of two restaurants, and it happens to be both of these places. Not for anything high minded - they both discontinued their chorizo offerings, the only thing I liked on either of their menus. Happened 7 or 8 years ago now, and I won’t go back.

Chorizo is serious business.

TropicalDingdong , in Ilhan Omar defeats challenger in Minnesota House primary

Fuck yes. Fuck you AIPAC.

So now… does Harris move on Gaza?

AIPAC basically of stayed out of this race. They’ve been picking races with tight polling, then throwing down in those.

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

This guy studied physics at MIT right? Doesn’t know how dangerous atomic bombs are?

moon ,

He didn’t study at MIT. He studied at UPenn and lied about having graduated from there two years earlier than he did, for some reason

pineapplelover ,

Ah my mistake. Reading his wikipedia right now, it says, “he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university in Philadelphia, where he earned two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in physics, and a Bachelor of Science in economics from the university’s Wharton School.” Had no idea Bachelor of Arts in physics was a thing. But economics is Bachelor of Science? What happened there? Is that a mistake? Physics is a hard science.

yemmly ,

At some schools, any major can result in a BA or BS depending on which electives you take.

UnfortunateShort ,

Definitely resulted in huge pile of BS with Musk.

Huckledebuck ,

Yeah, it’s my perception that the BA for sciences are for people that want to teach high school and lower. That’s how i got a math degree. I’m not sure if i could’ve handled any applied math. Abstract algebra kicked my ass twice, and diff eq took me a couple of months in to get comfortable with.

ECB ,

My school offered a BA in physics. I never knew anyone who took it (I did the BS) but they claimed it was aimed at theater set- designers.

Honytawk ,

He didn’t graduate in Physics either. Only got his degree 2 years after he left school and the school received a “generous endowment”.

He bought his Physics “degree”

FelixCress OP ,

Left—center? 🤦‍♂️

mustbe3to20signs ,

I think this rating is based on the US perception where universal healthcare is communism and MAGA is reasonable.

Aurenkin , (edited )

The justification given in the media bias website is that they are too mean to Trump (I wish I was joking). This particular rating to me was so paper thin and misleading I put in a request to remove the bias rating from the bot entirely.

mustbe3to20signs ,

This can’t be true… Trump didn’t even get the treatment he deserved for him leading an attemped coup. But media is too harsh with poor baby hands Donny?

Aurenkin ,

According to New Statesman’s research, examining the impartiality of the BBC’s reporting shows that they lean right in certain areas, such as business, immigration, and religion.

When it comes to reporting the USA and, in particular, former President Donald Trump, there is a negative tone directed at Trump and his policies.

zbyte64 ,

True, but that also puts AP news left-center.

Alexstarfire , in Police release bodycam from outside Uvalde classroom shooting

Video? Sure it’s not just a picture?

Was clicking on the article to check really too much of an effort to you?

Alexstarfire ,

No, but either my joke wasn’t appreciated or people didn’t realize it was one.

@tb_@lemmy.world avatar

It certainly went over my head

TBi ,

Probably wording could be better like “why would they make a whole video of a still image…”

Alexstarfire ,

Yea, that definitely works better.

AreaKode , in US approves $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel amid threat of wider Middle East war

Isreal gets more bombs, and the 1% get more of our tax money. What a boring distopia we live in.

TropicalDingdong , in Tim Walz Flames JD Vance For Pushing Stolen Valor Claims

They should just muster their old divisions and duke it out on stage instead of the traditional VP debate.

buddascrayon , in RFK Jr disqualified from New York ballot, judge rules

Okay I’m not in any way shape or form a fan or advocate for Kennedy, in fact I find him ridiculous in every way conceivable but I’m very confused. Since when does a presidential candidate need to have a residence in the state in order to be on the ballot?

JakenVeina ,

It’s not that he has to have a residence in New York, it’s that the address that he listed as his residence, in New York, on the application for candidacy submitted to New York, isn’t really his residence. The article mentions other states may follow suit with the applications he submitted to them.

buddascrayon ,

Ah yes, now I’m seeing that he actually lives in California. Which why he has chosen to list his residence that he doesn’t actually live at as his permanent residence for his god damned presidential race is fucking beyond me. Just more ridiculous from a completely ridiculous person.

jonne ,

I read somewhere else that it’s because his running mate is also from California, and for some reason you can’t be from the same state as your running mate or something like that?

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

I didn’t think they could do one sequel to Cocaine Bear, much less two. But they did it, and in record time. Cocaine Shark wasn’t my jam but I’ll give it credit for doing a lot of world building. Cocaine Barnacle should have gone straight to video though.

HappycamperNZ ,

Did you see the Mexican bootleg “cocaine hippos”?

worldwidewave , in Newly Approved Missouri Referendum Could Reverse State Abortion Ban

Voters in at least eight U.S. states will now be able to vote on constitutional amendment ballot measures regarding abortion rights in the November elections, and in Missouri on Tuesday, organizers celebrated as they learned their initiative to place a history-making referendum on ballots had succeeded.

Good. The more states that have abortion on the ballot, the better this election should be for Democrats. If even Kansas can pass abortion rights, most purple states should as well.

zabadoh ,

Ideally there should be anti-gerrymandering propositions to repair the apportionment of state legislatures, because those would benefit from a broader voter turnout as well. Because that’s how the ridiculous anti-abortion laws were rammed through to begin with.
