That’s exactly what Netanyahu wants. To expand the war to maintain his dictatorial powers.

What a stupid waste of money. What do they think it achieved?

So they’re no longer pandering to queer people? Because that doesn’t actually sound like the worst thing if you think about it. Or did you stay up this year until midnight on June 1st to watch all the corporate logos turn rainbow colors.

Seriously though, Bud Light did a tiny campaign with one trans person. If that’s their idea of outreach, fuck them. Imagine if every single ad they did had white people except one time that was on a platform most people weren’t paying attention to anyway they featured a black woman. That’s just tokenism.

No, I want real inclusion, not this “we’re going to use an influencer and then not tell anyone about the tiny campaign.” If conservatives hadn’t thrown a fit, no one would have even known about this.

I want to see trans people- all queer people- normalized. That means putting them front and center in major advertising campaigns as normal people drinking with their friends or whatever. It shouldn’t be a headline when a queer person is in an ad because queer people should just be in normal ads as normal people. And not just in June either.

AB InBev did this so they could say, “we tried and it wasn’t worth it” when they really didn’t try. Same with Target. Tiny little rainbow area one month of the year and people bitched, so they said, “well, we tried” and then just gave up.

Yes, but they “voted their conscience” so that’s fine. I always think they might as well just save the time and energy and stay home and not vote if they feel that way.

Also, as W. C. Fields once said, “I never vote for, only against.” That sure is true in 2024. I’m voting against every Republican on the ballot by voting for Democrats. I’ll worry about reforming the Democrats when I can be sure that my queer friends and family aren’t in danger of genocide.

There’s an American lie way too many people believe- “I could be like them one day if I play my cards right.”

You will never be like them. You weren’t born one of them.

We can be happy for the people this helps. Isn’t that enough? Does everything have to be viewed through a “the universe hates us all” lens?

Why can’t you be happy for someone getting some help just because it isn’t you?

A decade after Garner and mayor is a cop. Nothing has improved. And it says a lot that nothing has improved while the amount of evidence has shot up.

There was a story in the local news the other day about how county prisoners were growing food for food banks and it was reported like it was a good thing. Slaves growing food so private charities can give them to the poor as a good thing.

I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing, I’m just saying eventually, all that will be left of Virginia will be the Delmarva peninsula and then Maryland will claim it.

It’s imaginatively called “The Eastern Shore of Virginia.”

John Deere ends support of 'social or cultural awareness' events, distances from inclusion efforts (apnews.com)

Farm equipment maker John Deere says it will no longer sponsor “social or cultural awareness” events, becoming the latest major U.S. company to distance itself from diversity and inclusion measures after being targeted by conservative backlash....

Again: it was a yes or no question, so I will take it as a yes, you agree with Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs.

You could easily say no. You’ve been given ample opportunity. Trying to weasel your way out of a yes doesn’t make it not a yes.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You can paste this as many times as you like. In future conversations with you, I will now know that you agree with Tucker Carlson’s racism and discuss things with you accordingly.

Please do paste this again. It will change nothing about future discussions. You have shown your true self.

When you look at everything through the racist lens of Tucker Carlson, all topics are controversial, and many of them the fault of black people.

When did this become about investigators following leads? This was about ABC reporting a detail that added nothing important to the story and the lack of it would have taken nothing important from the story.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

This is also not about journalists doing investigating. This is about putting an unnecessary detail in a story.

Omitting unnecessary details is one of the first things you learn in a journalism class. It was not a necessary detail for the readers.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

At what time? At the time of writing the article? Yes. Because it neither adds to nor takes away anything from the story as written in the article, as I said. There is nothing about that detail that enhances the rest of the article at all.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not fired up, I’m just responding to you. You keep asking me questions. The polite thing is to answer.

FlyingSquid OP ,

I don’t disagree, but you have to post the headline the way it was written on the original site. That’s a community rule.

The one that really angered me though when she told me the story was “What if something happens to one of your children?” Like you were just replacing a busted TV or something.

That’s so awful. What a bizarre attitude. It’s like something out of the Middle Ages- you can always have another, unless you die in childbirth.

But it’s not mostly people who are doing most of the polluting, it’s industry. That has nothing to do with population size.

I have no idea. They told me I should learn to code when I tried to get them to explain it.
