BertramDitore , in Education Dept. Opens Civil Rights Inquiry Into Harvard’s Legacy Admissions
@BertramDitore@lemmy.world avatar

Good. According to the Supreme Bigots, affirmative action is okay for the military because apparently diversity = better war. But the same doesn’t apply to the classroom? Hmm fishy. And it’s okay for the rich kid whose daddy went to a school, because how else are these schools with billion dollar endowments supposed to afford a new admin building?

Oh and we can’t forget the (un)related totally not hypocritical: religious freedom, but only for Christians. And bodily autonomy, but only for men.

dethb0y , in Kevin Spacey found not guilty in sex offences trial - BBC News

Will be interesting to see if his career rebounds after this or what.

shalafi ,

No chance, he’s tainted goods. Maybe with the right social media spin, after a LONG time, he could come back.

Really sucks, loved his acting. Just watched American Beauty the other night and was able to see the actor and not the sins. But still, tell me Spacey is in a new movie, and guess what’s top of mind?

Swarfega , in Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees

Meanwhile it’s summer in the UK and we’re off to a water park today and we’re taking full wetsuits because it’s so cold. July has been awful in the UK with so much rain.

danielbln ,

13°C in Berlin right now, tops out at 20°C today, and it’s near August. I mean, I’ll take that any day over the scorching earth that other countries have, but it is weird.

Swarfega ,

What’s the weather been like throughout July? We had a plesent June but July has been the worst.

It’s 13°C here too right now topping out at 18°C today.

We were spoilt last year, the weather was very warm and space photos had the UK looking very brown for a change.

Blackmist ,

All the wildlife and grass died. That’s not exactly a good thing…

tryptaminev ,

that is just relatively normal? It only feels weird now, after the last 5 years being exceptionally scorching.

Usually there is a colder week or two in july followed by another heatwave in august. Last year that august wave brought 37°C and just twobweeks ago we were at 35°C.

Take the relief while you can.

Auli ,

In my part of Canada have gone from mid 30s to low teens. It is very weird as xhorxhing one day cold by comparison the next.

Blackmist ,

Water in the UK has never been warm though. We might have hit 40C for a day last year, but it takes a long time to get water to that temp.

Tyfud ,

That’s the difference between weather (what you’re experiencing in a localized environment) and climate (what the wild world is experiencing).

    mojo , in FCC chair: Speed standard of 25Mbps down, 3Mbps up isn’t good enough anymore

    Lol I like how this post somehow has negative one downvote

    Kinglink , in FCC chair: Speed standard of 25Mbps down, 3Mbps up isn’t good enough anymore

    Great, now what are we going to do about it?

    Hell just outlaw datacaps and I’d say that’s a good step.

    That being said I doubt almost anyone on here probably has more than those speeds, Cox (the worst cable company, trust me) gives me 10x those numbers, but the real problem is they’ll continue to raise the rates on us, and worse, there’s no competition. Verizon 5g came by and it’s not really a viable alternative, because Cox just out paces them enough, but ultimately, you’re going to spend at least 100 dollars a month on Cable, but still there’s no choices available.

    realcaseyrollins , in California struggles to locate victims of forced sterilization: At least 600 people who have been sterilized against their will in California are now eligible for compensation

    I thought sterilization was something California embraced openly but okay

    venorathebarbarian ,

    Ignoring what I assume is some anti-trans bullshit, do you understand the difference between force and consent?

    If I choose to eat a hotdog that’s nothing noteworthy, if someone forcefully shoves a hotdog down my throat it’s assault.

    Do you know understand what a hysterectomy does to a body? It’s more than just lacking a uterus/no more baby making/no more periods. It’s a major surgery that can come with major complications, including sending a person into early menopause, which starts a loss of fucking bone density. Would you be so casual about someone doing that to you or someone you love without their prior knowledge or consent?

    Sit down and think of your favorite woman, whoever she may be, then picture her tearfully telling you she was given a major surgery by the government, that she did not want, that took away her ability to have children and sent her into early menopause. Would you be okay with someone making a casual joke about that? Would that be funny to you? I hope not. I hope you’d be able to empathize with her heartbreak.

    Beliriel , in DOJ sues Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott over Rio Grande barrier

    Oh wow! The DOJ actually going for it. Can someone enlighten me on wether it’s simply a procedural error because there was no approval or if a request for such a thing would be denied anyway?

    IphtashuFitz ,

    I heard a radio report that the barrier is blocking navigation along the river. No idea if that’s actually the case or not, but if there is any sort of regular boat traffic (even just police boats etc) along there then that has the potential to be a big deal.

    There are both international and national regulations pertaining to navigation, intended to ensure uniformity of those regulations no matter what body of water you’re on. The international regulations apply along coastal waters, while the US regulations apply to inland lakes, rivers, etc. I’m not sure which would apply here given the Rio Grande river is also an international border. But which one applies may have to do with whether the state/governor can legally overrule them in the name of “security”.
