Too bad they didn’t show a picture of a priest and pissed off the Catholics. That would have been funny. Instead they pissed off people in general. Good job.

Ron DeSantis is planning to raise money for Donald Trump in Florida and Texas, AP sources say (apnews.com)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning to raise money for former President Donald Trump in the coming weeks, putting into action the commitment he made at a meeting with Trump last month to help his former rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, according to two people familiar with the matter....

Donald should make him pronounce ‘Thai food’ properly at every campaign stop.

“Viruses are a hoax” seems to have been growing ever since COVID. I never encountered it before that, now I’ve encountered it multiple times. There was a guy in the skeptic sub on Reddit who came in to argue like mad that viruses didn’t exist.

I can’t wait until it turns out that they can grow lab-grown meat that tastes better than the finest Wagyu beef and people go up north to eat it.

Secret Hamas Files Show How It Spied on Everyday Palestinians (www.nytimes.com)

The Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has for years overseen a secret police force in Gaza that conducted surveillance on everyday Palestinians and built files on young people, journalists and those who questioned the government, according to intelligence officials and a trove of internal documents reviewed by The New York Times....

Looks like there’s a multi-pronged attempt to shift the narrative to “see? Hamas is bad, so Israel is justified” today based on articles being posted.

Corporate real estate is on a 'cliff edge' as firms race to rethink communal spaces (www.bbc.com)

As more employees work from home in the hybrid-work era, many companies are finding they need smaller offices. Compared to pre-pandemic floorplans designed to house as many workers as possible, more businesses are looking towards more compact but higher-quality spaces for the future....

If you made it a co-op with the condition that anyone who buys in early gets an apartment if they help with the refurbishment, you’d probably get a lot of offers.

They mostly wouldn’t be able to do experienced (and more importantly union) contractor work like lay pipe and wire cables, but they could certainly do things like put down carpet and tile and paint walls with a small amount of instruction.

The bigger issue is the U.S. auto dealership industry.

washingtonpost.com/…/car-dealerships-ev-sales/

If dealerships refuse to sell EVs, what can be done? Especially in states where cars can only be sold from licensed dealerships?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know if the laws have changed but (for some reason I forget), a dealership here imported two three-wheeled small pickup trucks from China within the last decade or so. So it was at least possible within the recent past somehow.

I honestly could not care less whether or not it’s true. He’s told so many lies that if a lie is told about him that makes it sound like he stuck his dick in a pig, good. He deserves it.

Both can be true. But that doesn’t mean the BBC should give up its neutral stance.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Because the BBC is not the PR arm of the British government. It is supposed to be an independent and impartial entity.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No. The BBC does not represent the official stance of the country and never has. It is an independent journalistic body.

They are, in fact, allowed to print anything they want. They are not beholden to the government. That’s a simple fact.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not sure how you think that changes anything that I said and makes them beholden to the government, but okay.

I’d think the fact that they aren’t doing what David Cameron wants them to do proves you wrong, but you seem to think your “research” trumps reality, so…

More children gain hearing as gene therapy for profound deafness advances | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

There are few things more heartwarming than videos of children with deafness gaining the ability to hear, showing them happily turning their heads at the sound of their parents’ voices and joyfully bobbing to newly discovered music. Thanks to recent advances in gene therapy, more kids are getting those sweet and triumphant...

I remember learning the ASL alphabet in elementary school, but that was it. If nothing else, it should be a high school language elective.

Edit: Amazingly, Duolinguo doesn’t offer ASL as an option. I would pay for it.

Exactly. I enjoyed his stand-up comedy back in the 80s and 90s. I enjoyed his sitcom (although that was mostly down to Larry David), but the world has moved on. Comedy evolves. If you can’t evolve with it, you end up being Don Rickles in the world of George Carlin.

True, although I don’t know how many graduating students in 2024 would be aware of that part.

Funny, at the time, I thought Seinfeld was better (and more innovative) than either of those. Married With Children was mostly just about being as crass as possible, which has been topped significantly since by shows like South Park and Always Sunny, which broadened their shows to not make it just about “how trashy can we get” and Third Rock… eh. Mostly just weird for weirdness’ sake.

Seinfeld had some pretty decent ideas for a sitcom like the episode taking place entirely while waiting in the restaurant entrance for Chinese take-out or the episode which is entirely set in a parking garage. There just wasn’t TV like that back then.

You might not have noticed, but young adults aren’t big Chapelle fans these days either. The whole transphobia thing doesn’t play so well with the under-40s.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Carlin also re-invented himself with the times. The comedy he did in the 60s was entirely different from the comedy he did in the 90s.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think there are some big exceptions. For example- Robin Williams at the Met was an amazing show and is still extremely funny.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not why it was hated, it was hated because it was a bad and abrupt ending that didn’t go with the rest of the show.

I don’t think anyone was under any illusions that the Seinfeld characters were supposed to be anything other than horrible people.

Notebooks full of material is literally something every standup comedian has (or at least had before the smartphone era). I still have a good dozen out of the dozens I used to have.

I sort of got a bar mitzvah, but the asshole Israeli who was supposed to teach me Hebrew sucked at it and I never learned. So I read my passage with a crib sheet that told me how to pronounce everything. My cousin, who was the rabbi officiating, took me aside and said, “they may not know what you’re doing out there today, but GOD KNOWS!” My dad and I had a good laugh about that for years.

I only did the whole thing for my grandparents’ sake.
