Trump should just offer to keep Merrick Garland on board as AG. Nobody has done more to assure Trump was not held accountable for 1/6 than him. He’d be perfect for providing cover for whatever crimes Donnie and Elmo are cooking up right now at Mar-a-Lago.

It should, but frankly, I’ve given up believing that people can be trusted to rise to the occasion and do the right thing.

While I agree with your point, this isn’t an indictment of journalism. Comicsands.com is George Takei’s personal buzzfeed clone. I love George Takei but it’s not an actual news source, it’s a meme blog. Personally, I don’t think it belongs in any serious news oriented communities.

He’s not. But several years ago the media latched onto a well established term from “internet culture” without understanding (or perhaps caring) what it was actually describing, and decided that it meant ridiculing something on social media. It’s an example of a subculture’s slang getting thoroughly corrupted through mainstream exposure until it no longer means what it once did.

All the direct result of decades worth of work by Republicans to erode public education and vilify ‘expertise’ as a concept.

Yeah, sorry for being snarky, but the Fediverse refers to all federated software. So, Fedia.io for example, is an MBin instance. Which is different than Lemmy and Mastodon but they can all interact with each other. They’re all part of the overall Fediverse. So your comment was just kind of awkwardly phrased and redundant.

Which is both Fediverse and Mastodon.

Well… yeah.

I like the idea of hot dogs more than I actually like hot dogs. Every now and then I get a craving for one and throw it on the grill but it’s always slightly disappointing. It’s never as good as I think it’ll be. I need to learn to just stick with hamburgers. Those are never disappointing.

The Washington Times reporting on a Newsmax segment… Pass.

Don’t worry, conservatives still have Kid Rock, that dude from Staind, Gene Simmons, and Ted “shit himself to avoid the draft” Nugent. Truly the best of the best, huh?

White Supremacist MAGAts:

Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign also stopped all TV ad spending with less than a month to go before Iowa and New Hampshire. So yeah, this is the only way he can get any attention right now before he drops out in February and tries to become a right wing media personality.

States that participate in the federal program are required to cover half of the administrative costs, which would cost Nebraska an estimated $300,000. Advocates of the program note that the administrative cost is far outweighed by the $18 million benefit, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates would benefit 175,000 Nebraska children who might otherwise go hungry on some days during the summer.

Imagine being such a reprehensible monster that you’d let 175k children in your state starve rather than participate in a federal program that’d help feed them when school is out each summer. It’s unconscionable.
