Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

Texas Man Allegedly Used Abortion Lawsuit To Blackmail Ex-Wife For Sex (www.huffpost.com)

Marcus Silva filed suit in March against three friends of his ex-wife, Brittni Silva, accusing the friends of helping her obtain abortion pills last summer to illegally terminate an unwanted pregnancy in violation of Texas’ harsh anti-abortion laws....

In a transcript of a June 21 conversation included in the new filing, Marcus threatened to upload a sexual video of his ex-wife to Pornhub, adding that he was prepared to do things that would “fck [Brittni’s] entire fcking world up,” such as send the video directly to her family members ― unless she continued to do his laundry.

What in the absolute hell.

I mean, it’s Alabama. Of course they did.

I think the problem here is more that it parked on her after hitting her. Presumably a human wouldn’t have done that.

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

It couldn’t avoid her, no. The bigger problem was that the car parked on her, I think.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

It would have been better to not PARK ON HER LEG. They had to lift the car off her.

It couldn’t have avoided hitting her, but it could have not stopped ON her.

I still can’t get over how they made a doctor who first brought suspicions about her up apologize to her.

The impact of the wave of strike activity goes far beyond the 2024 election: A revitalized labor movement could lead to a fairer economy for decades to come (www.epi.org)

Last week, both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump traveled to Michigan. Many in the media cast these visits as similar efforts to woo union voters for the 2024 election. But that is mostly wrong or misleading. The visits were clearly not symmetric…

The ads have been baked in for a while. Every time I turn on my PC, the first thing I see is it trying to get me to buy Game Pass, and when Starfield came out, it was putting pictures from the game on that startup screen. Even after I tried to turn that off, it still showed them.

What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? A fired Trump White House staffer offers a tantalizing clue (www.nbcnews.com)

The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”

Democrats this morning were shown a clip of McCarthy on CBS over the weekend trying to blame them for shutdown chaos, Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said, calling that a clarifying moment for those in the party who might have voted to save him. McCarthy's decision to blame Democrats on TV this weekend was "one of the most crushingly stupid things somebody could do on the eve of your survival vote," he told NBC News this afternoon.

I saw that interview clip - the reporter actually started laughing when he tried to blame the Democrats. It really was a stupid thing to say.

He was trying to throw the democrats under the bus because the threat from Gaetz was that he was working with the Democrats. But he forgot the Democrats aren’t complete pushovers, just mostly pushovers, and ended up falling under the bus instead.

And women, what, want jobs just because they’re bored?

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

They can go job hunting literally anywhere else, not at an event not designed for them. Women have a harder time finding jobs in tech, and these dudes are trying to take even those opportunities because they think them needing jobs trumps women needing jobs.

stopthatgirl7 OP , (edited )
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Women are ALREADY being discriminated against in the tech job market, which is why more effort has to be made to help them get into jobs. Which is why this event was created, to counter an EXISTING discrimination. Against women.

But I guess helping women doesn’t matter to you, huh. Now when the poor mens can’t have all the exposure at ONE event.

When the initial discrimination against women stops, then this kind of “discrimination” against men will, too. So go fight against that first.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

The fact is there are fewer women in STEM because fewer women go into STEM.

And of course, that has nothing to do with the discrimination women face even trying to get into STEM, and how men actively try to push them out while they’re still students! That’s not at all indicative of a systemic and well-known problem at all!

I am not at all surprised that an apparent tech bro does not see how tech bros stepping over women is a problem.

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

If you’ve ever talked to women in tech, they’ll tell you how badly they were treated by male students and sometimes even by teachers, trying to get them to wash out. Literally talk to any woman in tech.

But I kinda suspect they won’t actually tell you, because we know from experience how a certain type of dude will minimize and try to rationalize away everything we say, so we won’t talk to dudes like that about it.

Apparently kbin has been goofy with images today.

It’s a picture of Elmo staring at you.

@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

I saw a little while ago that kbin has been having some kind of issues loading images, so that might be what’s happening. I see it with no problem.

That’s probably it. I know Ernest was talking about doing some upgrades to kbin around now, so issues with federating might be related to that. Or just kbin throwing a hissy fit.

So many of these comments are so damn disheartening.

This screams of desperation to me. Twitter never needed to make any kind of deals with celebrities before to get them on the platform. This feels like Kick throwing money at people to get them to come over from Twitch. They’re trying to lure over Instagram type folks, probably to keep them off Threads.

An anti-affirmative action group is suing the US Military Academy at West Point over race-based admissions policies | CNN (www.cnn.com)

The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Refusing to even look something that might challenge your worldview, or at least help you understand where someone else is coming from, is certainly a…choice.
