BonesOfTheMoon , in LGBTQ advocates say Mormon church's new transgender policies marginalize trans members

In other news water is wet.

Every religion that ostracizes LGBT people should be ostracized.

BonesOfTheMoon , in Ron DeSantis banned lessons on racism in Florida public schools. ‘Freedom schools’ fill the gaps

Florida sounds like hell but apparently the bigger cities are quite good?

No wheezing the juice. The juice causes wheezing.

MediaBiasFactChecker Bot , in Chipotle Illegally Withheld Raises From Unionized Location, Labor Board Prosecutors Say | Company found to have violated law at a Michigan restaurant
crusa187 , in Is this thing on? Harris and Trump battle over hot mics at debate.

Perhaps someone with so little self control of their utterances should not in fact get to be elected to the highest office in the land. Just a thought.

I’d argue that should go for any gov’t office … which is why I’d never run in any election. :p

That would be the new union-busting Starbucks CEO’s Chimpotle?

xmunk ,

Yes, this is the union busting hyper commuting asshole that has already cost Starbucks millions of dollars.

Of course. He didn’t run Chipotle particularly well, why else would they be hiring a CEO with that track record?

When Biden was still president they made that agreement.

Biden is still president. But we know what you meant.

recapitated , in Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI

To be clear, I am happy to see a pedo contained and isolated from society.

At the same time, this direction of law is something that I don’t feel I have the sophistication to truly weigh in on, even though it invokes so many thoughts for me.

I hope we as a society get this one right.

Badeendje , in Big Crypto Is Spending More on US Elections Than Any Other Industry
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah… and they get to use other people’s money while doing it. Crypto is great.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

What, you don’t like unregulated banks who don’t actually provide any useful services?

d33pblu3g3n3 , in Trump Considers Dropping Out Of ‘FAKE NEWS’ ABC Debate After ‘Biased’ Sen. Tom Cotton Interview

Donald Trump is a coward. But we all knew that already.

Daxtron2 , in Telegram Founder’s Arrest Part of Broad Investigation, French Prosecutors Say | case was opened last month to investigate child pornography, drug sales, fraud & other criminal activities on platform

They just opened the case last month?!?

nednobbins , in Black Myth: Wukong Devs Told Streamers to Avoid Politics in Their Playthroughs. It Backfired

steamdb.info/app/2358720/charts/

Yeah. It clearly killed their sales.

I’m sure the Game Science folks are re-evaluating their life choices and wondering where they went wrong.

RustyShackleford ,
@RustyShackleford@programming.dev avatar

I wonder if Game Science meant avoid politics like “western identity politics” or “critique of the CCP”? Perhaps both?

nednobbins ,

No idea.

It’s hard to tell what their sales would have been had they left those terms out.

Most studios can only dream of having their marketing backfire that successfully.

Omega_Jimes ,

When the story broke, my wife and I discussed it a bit, and I mentioned that I hadn’t even heard of the game before all this.

If it was deliberate marketing, it was really well done.

yesman , in Is this thing on? Harris and Trump battle over hot mics at debate.

When Biden dropped out, I pointed out that Harris should insist on hot mics and people game me a lot of grief. I don’t wanna hear Trump either, but I want voters to hear him.

WoahWoah , in US national parks are receiving record-high gift of $100M

This is great, but that seems like a small amount of money for such a vast, critical, and beautiful system. I wish we treated national/state parks and public education as the vital societal good that they are.

cybersandwich , in United States' Immigration and Customs Enforcement Severely Undercounts Number of People in its Custody

So it sounds like, from the article, that ICE wasn’t counting those individuals because CBP was/they were initially booked in by CBP?

The way this is written makes it sound super nefarious when it really seems like an interagency accounting mix-match.

Yea it should be addressed but it’s written to sound like ICE was hiding 200k people in their facilities. Which is not the case.

So it sounds like, from the article, that ICE wasn’t counting those individuals because CBP was/they were initially booked in by CBP?

Those were some of the previously unreported detentions, but ICE’s record keeping has been so sloppy we can’t say what percentage of those were caused by that or something else, or why ICE thought they didn’t have to report these detentions (like, they couldn’t point to a policy to explain why they did count those detentions between 2019-2021 but then just stopped in 2022).

The agency also failed to be transparent about whether its methodology for determining which detentions of individuals are included or excluded in its reporting has changed over time. In particular, officials told the GAO that ICE included tens of thousands of detentions of individuals where the first stay was at a specific CBP holding facility for 2019 through 2021. However, ICE decided not to include detentions of individuals held in that same holding facility in their calculation of initial book-ins for fiscal year 2022.

Also

Yea it should be addressed but it’s written to sound like ICE was hiding 200k people in their facilities

I mean, we told ICE to report on how many people they were detaining, then had some auditors double check the number they reported, and the auditors found they didn’t report about 42% of the people in their custody, which hid about 200k detained people from lawmakers and policy advocates and anyone else who cares how many people we’re locking up to maintain our immigration system.

It might just be rampant incompetence and apathy on ICE’s part, but given all the reports of racism and abuse we’ve seen come out of that agency in particular there’s almost certainly a lot of nefarious behavior being concealed by the incompetence and apathy.
