Pons_Aelius , in It's time to change how we cover Elon Musk
xc2215x , in Pope Francis restates Catholic Church is for everyone, including LGBTQ+ people

Good for Pope Francis.

dhtseany , in Glacier basin flooding destroys two structures in Alaskan capital of Juneau and prompts local emergency declaration

Man that’s something scary I hadn’t considered yet… “Glacier-dammed lake”… I bet we’re gonna keep hearing more about Northern flooding like this as the planet keeps warming up. Yikes.

CobblerScholar , in Are G.O.P. Voters Tiring of the War on ‘Wokeness’?

Probably, that’s why we’ll see another simple word that the mouth breathers can say like a magic spell. A spell that will make all the smarter people that constantly tell them they are wrong go away

Maajmaaj , in Ukrainians move to North Dakota for oil field jobs to help families facing war back home
@Maajmaaj@lemmy.ca avatar

The contrast between this, and the dead bodies in the Rio Grande is…fucking exhausting.

@Maajmaaj @MicroWave

Yup. We saw similar in Canada as well with Brown and Black refugees not receiving near the help that Ukraine refugees received.

It's just fucking sickening to watch.

Buffalox , in The cage match is back: Musk says Zuck fight will ‘be live-streamed on X’

It’s hilarious how desperate Musk is.

tymon , in The cage match is back: Musk says Zuck fight will ‘be live-streamed on X’

here’s hoping they both immediately trip and hit their heads on sharp corners

@tymon @sigh

No corners in a cage, but we could strategically throw a few in for good luck. ;)

Hazdaz , in Veterans see historic expansion of benefits for toxic exposure as new law nears anniversary

Joe Biden was the one who signed this into law, and many Republicans stubbornly opposed this, and yet so very many of these veterans are hard-core Republicans.

mojo , in Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bosses

LOL the sad thing is people will believe this

MushuChupacabra , in Texas AG appeals judge’s order that allows women with complicated pregnancies to get abortions
@MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world avatar

Sociopaths.

FlyingSquid , in Philippines accuses China of firing water cannon at boats in South China Sea

dethb0y , in Clarence Thomas’s $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It

That’s not even a very nice RV; 270K barely gets you in the door on a decent one.

Yeah, my mom had a Minnie Winnie, which is small by RV standards and by no means luxurious, and it cost over $150,000 so I doubt $270,000 for a bigger one (and I’m sure it’s bigger) is going to be first class living either.

But who cares when it’s all performative bullshit anyway?

thelastknowngod , (edited )

He bought it in 1999. Adjusting for inflation, it costs about $490k in current dollars.

EDIT: Also the point isn’t really about how much it cost as it does who financed it and how the payments were made (or not). If someone who made a fortune in healthcare loaned a scotus judge money for a luxury home/vehicle Thomas would have a conflict of interest on cases involving healthcare.

    Well, apparently you're not going to, so the comment isn't very useful, is it?

    Oh are one of those types that also shits on Bernie for owning three homes, even though one is a modest D.C. two bedroom, their family home on a very regular, average suburban road, probably 2,000 square feet, and the third a small lakeside cabin his wife inherited from her father, and where he hangs out with his like 15 grandkids?

    Dude had to write like five best selling books and be in the Senate for 100 years before he made $1,000,000 dollars, even though insider trading is legal for members of Congress.

    Omg, he formed an LLC to publish his books and pay a personal assistant. What a controversy! /s

    Trying to portray the one honest Senator in D.C. as a hypocrite, you’d have be to a real know-nothing.

    And that’s not even mentioning that he’s not a supreme court justice!

    Oh please, now you’re going back to the card Thomas played when Anita Hill told the truth about him. Demanding we give someone a pass on douchebaggery and corruption because God forbid we hold a black man accountable is racist. Not as racist as the killing of George Floyd, or the innumerable events that comprise systemic racism, but letting Justice Thomas corrupt the Court doesn’t do one thing to ameliorate any of that. Not that he cares. He’d throw Rosa Parks under the bus in a heartbeat.

    Just the Jews eh?

    Mouselemming ,

    Have you written a bestseller yet?

    FunkyMonkey ,

    Why single out Bernie Sanders then? Aren’t there a million people that have access to even more “luxurious” things that a majority can’t afford?

    What’s so special about him?

    Hellsadvocate ,

    Imagine being such a fucking idiot that you think people are upset at Clarence Thomas because he made money.

    RGB3x3 , in Artificial intelligence is gaining state lawmakers’ attention, and they have a lot of questions

    I really wish we’d stop using “Artificial Intelligence” to describe these things.

    They’re just recognizing patterns and regurgitating them. There’s no cognitive function going on, no critical thinking, no analysis. It doesn’t even know the difference between true or false.

    It’s closer to AI than we’ve ever had, but it’s still not close to intelligence.

    LexiconDrexicon , in New Bill Cosby Accuser Files Lawsuit Alleging He Drugged, Sexually Assaulted Her

    But Roman Polanski gets a pass though even though what Polanski did was way worse
