FlyingSquid , in Rikers Inmates Are Routinely Denied Medical Care, Court Filing Says

The justice system seems to have forgotten we have an eighth amendment. So maybe we should just dump it, like the first half of the second.

My favorite thing is to ask a gun nut to recite the 2nd Amendment. It’s one sentence:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

They never know it. They usually kinda know it, but they never actually know how it’s written.

So I tell them that it’s this Marx quote:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered, any attempts to disarm the people must be stopped, by force if necessary.

And they believe me.

the government aims to ensure that financial advisers “give advice that’s prudent, that’s loyal, that doesn’t invite overcharges, and doesn’t involve lying to people,” said Timothy D. Hauser, the deputy assistant secretary for program operations of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, part of the Labor Department.

FACC — argued that the rules would be “potentially devastating for the insurance industry

Cool, the thing we were assured wouldn’t happen because free market or something.

Even if it’s decided that the EPA has the proper authority, the damage will be done by the time it makes its way through the courts.

The EPA order requires the development of a system specifically designed for PFAS. A similar system is estimated to cost about $25m to develop, or about 0.1% of the air force’s annual budgeting.

Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool…

Cuttlefish1111 , in Georgia lawmaker charged with driving under influence after hitting bicycle in bike lane

    Yeah even the article says “bicyclist” while the title just says “bicycle”. Strange wording choice.

    Cuttlefish1111 ,

    Sorry, No coffee

    jettrscga ,

    Oh no I meant you were right. The article clarifies it, but the title is still odd the way it only says he hit a bicycle.

    nulluser , in Georgia lawmaker charged with driving under influence after hitting bicycle in bike lane

    Seabaugh, a Republican, was elected to the Georgia House in a special election in the summer of 2021, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. His district includes parts of western Cobb County and portions of Marietta and Kennesaw.

    Seabaugh faces Democrat challenger Karl Gallegos in the Nov. 5 general election.

    Linkerbaan OP , (edited ) in Sweden Drops Case Against Dutch Eurovision Contestant
    @Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

    Now you might be thinking “how is israel to blame for this one”? Let me explain

    The head sponsor of Eurovision is

    https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a9c6a8f8-02d8-4118-afcc-0782f8dcc37c.png

    Moroccan right? Wrong. “Moroccanoil is an Israeli cosmetics company headquartered in New York City

    So what does Joost Klein have to do with israel being the main sponsor of Eurovision?

    https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ec0b76ef-0ba6-467e-983f-9c5e1d620af4.png

    During the Eurovision songfestival Joost Klein was seated next to israel for interviews, where he wrapped himself in the Dutch flag. A journalist asked Eden Golan if she felt she was endangering other contestants by being there. Her sidekick said she did not have to answer that question to which Joost suddenly said “Why not”.

    Afterwards Joost was harrassed by israeli journalists

    unexposedhazard ,

    I mean anyone with two braincells intuitively knew that this was about israel. Doesnt take a genius to figure that one out…

    1. I don't comment in the majority of your posts on Israel / Gaza.
    2. I only come across Israel / Gaza posts from you. It's possible you post about other things in magazines (communities) I don't subscribe to. I just looked at a couple of your meme posts. They were also about Israel.
    PugJesus , in Racism Is Why Trump Is So Popular

    John Brown didn’t get to kill enough slavers, that’s why we’re all here. We gave the racists a little rope, and now they’re trying to hang us with it. Been that way ever since Reconstruction ended.

    Opposition to racism must be enduring. It must be absolute. It can brook no compromise, because compromise is tacit agreement to the validity (however small or marginal) of the opposition’s point, and racism is based on an absurdity. And when a society starts validating absurdities… well, look at Trump.

    and the fact the confederacy was allowed to “live in on” in memory as heritage, and allowed statues honouring traitors to the United States

    If you allow confederate statues to honour enemies of the country, why are there no statues honouring the british red coats from the war of independence? Where are the statues honouring soviet spies executed for espionage?

    PugJesus ,

    Constructed largely after the cowards were all dead, in the civil rights era. And yet some people still insist that it’s ‘history’ to leave them standing instead of a blatant attempt to cement the United States as a ‘White Man’s’ polity.

    Fuck them.

    If you allow confederate statues to honour enemies of the country, why are there no statues honouring the british red coats from the war of independence? Where are the statues honouring soviet spies executed for espionage?

    Let’s make some 9/11 memorials to commemorate those brave hijackers too.

    It’s fucking absurd, and while I know HOW it got started, I don’t know how it got started. You know what I mean? Like, I understand the conditions that led to the rise of Lost Causer nonsense, but I just can’t wrap my fucking head around the idea that everyone just fucking normalized it. Like, even if you are a racist (as most 19th century Americans were to at least some degree), what the fuck kind of lunatic country commemorates the ‘heroism’ of literal traitors and secessionists who killed hundreds of thousands of our countrymen?

    Sherman didn’t burn enough.

    LovableBastard , in Horses are smart enough to plan and strategise, new study shows

    previous theories that equine brains respond only to immediate stimuli and are not complex enough to strategise

    Who held those theories? And have they ever been around horses?

    Just this weekend my spouse and I had to move our mare and almost 4 month old colt. She’s quite used to riding in a small horse trailer, but the little guy was terrified of getting into it. When his mom realized it, she started getting on and off the trailer several times to show him it was fine. Then she went behind him and kept nudging him towards the trailer. Seemed pretty obvious to me that she knew what was going on and was trying her best to help the little guy understand it was all ok.

    I’ve certainly met some horses that could have made me question the species’ intelligence if they were the only ones I knew. But there are plenty of intelligent horses out there. I’m really surprised that the prevailing theory was that they only respond to immediate stimuli.

    Apytele ,

    Honestly I would’ve guessed that on size alone. Its generally a characteristic of anything bigger than a fruit fly, and especially mammals and birds.

    shalafi ,

    Mammals and birds, yeah, but reptiles and fish are dehydrated rock-hard stupid. They just don’t have the brain structures.

    AlecSadler ,

    I sent this article to my wife who trains / rides horses daily and she was just like, “Duh.”

    She says anyone who has spent any time with horses knows this.

    I guess a formal study proving something has some clout though?

    some_guy ,

    The arrogance of our species is quite astonishing. Look at the morons who get offended at the idea that we’re evolved apes.

    Obviously, nothing could have any amount of actual thought if it wasn’t human! /s

    GreyEyedGhost ,

    We had a stallion that could jump the 6-foot fences of his corral. My dad would yell at him and he would jump back in. He was a bit of a jerk (stallion), but he definitely wasn’t stupid.

    We had a Shetland mare, and she wasn’t stupid, either. Pure evil, as is the Shetland way, but not stupid.

    Our Welsh was neither stupid nor evil.

    Our thoroughbred might have been stupid, or could have come from an environment as unstimulating as a rat cage with nothing but food and a single wheel.

    count_dongulus ,

    Yeah some horses are super smart. I had one that learned to open doorknobs with his mouth after seeing it used up close for a long time. Very annoying, had to start locking that barn door.
