    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.

    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…

    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?

    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.

    That is definitely a huge part of it. And it’s total projection like so much else they believe. “They’ll get revenge because we would get revenge.”

    billiam0202 ,

    And at what point does that become a self-fulfilling prophecy? The longer minorities in this country are treated as second-class citizens, the more likely it becomes for them to treat whites the exact same way when they’re the minority.

    Win or lose, Biden will have my respect for this. No matter where you live, it’s a rare thing to see a leader truly placing their nation’s good before their own pride. I hope others will learn by his example.

    Corkyskog ,

    I agree… I was shocked when it was announced. But then again, the DNC establishment basically dragged him out of retirement to beat Bernie.

    Voroxpete ,

    It’s deeply ironic to me that a) they almost certainly wouldn’t have been in this situation if Bernie had been the nominee last time, and b) as a direct result of that choice their nominee now is formerly the senator with the closest voting record to Bernie’s, running with the VP pick that Bernie suggested.

    They tried to cut him off at the knees, but in the end, Sanders kind of ended up calling the shots.

    Grandwolf319 ,

    Your commit fills me with hope, not just because I’m a Bernie fan, but because it shows that sometimes the better voice does win eventually.

    there are also humans at the top of the 'air force' that made this decision not to clean up. its two sets of irresponsible...no... negligent humans at play.

    catloaf ,

    That would be the Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall.

    Also, he is appointed by, and reports directly to, the president. Biden could easily call this guy up and tell him to unfuck himself.

    Biden is commander in chief. He can just order them to clean it up.

    thefartographer ,

    I can’t tell if this is a genuine attempt to dodge cleanup or an attempt to test a Supreme Court ruling before companies can get out of hand during the next administration.

    But maybe I’m reading too much into the context.

    …and who vote for a Congress that refuses to pass laws to address these problems.

    grue ,

    What are you talking about? Congress did pass a law to address this: it’s called the Clean Water Act. The issue is that an illegitimate SCOTUS packed by traitors basically invalidated it.

    Blackbeard ,
    @Blackbeard@lemmy.world avatar

    The article spells out what I’m talking about pretty clearly. I work with the CWA literally on a daily basis. Congress hasn’t made the CWA more clear or specific since the Water Quality Act of 1987. Congress could literally fix this dispute between federal agencies tomorrow, but we elected Republicans to control the House, which means it has a snowball’s chance in hell of ever happening.

    grue ,

    The CWA as of 1987 is plenty clear under any reasonable standard. The relevant problem here is that SCOTUS has ordained an unreasonable standard. Yes, Democratic control of both houses of Congress could “fix” that issue, but the point is it shouldn’t need to because the EPA should be allowed to do its job (which, contrary to the illegitimate tyrannical stooges’ diseased opinions, does include interpreting the law!).
