kescusay , 11 months ago to news in Alabama school band director says he was 'just doing my job' before police arrested him

Which is bizarre. I’ve never heard of a football stadium just instantly shutting everything down after the game. There’s always post-game entertainment, opportunities for the opposing teams to shake hands, sometimes some announcements, that sort of thing.

Utterly ridiculous, power-tripping cops. I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

Buy merch? Anyone who puts their credit card number anywhere near anything this guy has touched has made a terrible mistake.

I tried translating that, but Lemmy formatting has borked it. The first three words are “BE SURE TO” but the rest is not translatable.

Never mind, I got it. And yes, I drink it every day. :)

Oh no! Developers will have to choose between catering to bigots and catering to literally everyone else! What ever will they do?!?

Seriously, I hope bigots continue to just remove themselves from all aspects of society.

kescusay , 11 months ago to technology in Elon Musk Says He Might Put X/Twitter Behind A Paywall

Well, he’s got emerald-mine money to throw at problems, and he’s been lucky. Money and luck are a potent combination, and can stand in for actual talent and skill in a lot of cases.

He’s also had a good eye for tech investments in the past, though he seems to have lost that recently. For example, he co-founded OpenAI. (Sold all his stake in it to Microsoft before it hit the big-time, though.)

So… luck, money, and a history of investing in or founding tech companies that become at least moderately successful off the talents of others. Of course that’s going to give him an enormous ego and make him think everything he touches turns to gold.

“‘Rose: You Are Who You Eat’ is a musical healing ritual for queer folks,” she said. “It intersects with a concert, a dark comedy about cannibalism and gender, and a sing-along.”

Honestly, this sounds pretty awesome and now I want to see it.

Indeed it is. And I love stories like this one. Very oniony headline, and a deeply interesting story behind the headline.

kescusay , 11 months ago to news in “I simply fell short of my values”: Lauren Boebert issues apology after being removed from “Beetlejuice” performance

Yep. The people at a show like that are 1) consenting adults, who 2) went to the show on purpose, and 3) didn’t bring their kids.

No one in the audience at a kid-friendly Beetlejuice showing went there to watch Bobo get her tits fondled while she blows vape smoke in people’s faces.

What a revolting idiot.

My god! It’s like the “terrorist fist jab” all over again!

Twist: He is John McAfee!

kescusay , 11 months ago to news in Contradicting federal health officials, Florida Gov. DeSantis recommends against new COVID booster

The calculation is as simple as it is disgusting: If he can inspire enough turnout to more than make up for the deaths he causes, then he comes out ahead.

Didn’t work out so well for Republicans in 2022, though.

So I noticed. And far be it from me to interrupt such a thorough group hand-insemination effort! Just don’t want things to get… ahem… out of hand.

kescusay , 11 months ago to nottheonion in Landlords Throw Party to Celebrate Being Able to Evict People Again

Hey guys, we all hate landlords. A lot. The phrase that immediately comes to mind is “scum-sucking weasels.” But let’s not go overboard with the violent language, OK?

It’s probably not. Lemmy is big enough now to attract propaganda bots.

This reads like a headline from The Onion.
