A practically unknown band overseas despite being huge in Australia. They traversed several genres in a few years but failed to sustain commercial viability.

A two-panel cartoon humorously shows "the talk" across generations.

The top panel shows parents giving their child the traditional "when two people love each other very much..." talk.

The bottom panel reverses this, showing the grown child giving their parents "the talk" about "when someone calls and says they're from Microsoft Tech Support."

Pioneering musician/producer Brian Eno talks about rising inequality and how to make the super rich pay a wealth tax. He himself has become a multi-millionaire from his art.

The bus in the background is paid for by a group called Patriotic Millionaires who also have other strategies for closing the wealth gap.

Neighbourhood watch vigilantes in paramilitary gear on the sidewalk making a citizens arrest of a balaclava clad man. There is a tiny community street library next to them.

One of them on a walkie-talkie says: "Janet? We got him. The guy who takes best selling novels and leaves behind textbooks from 1978"

Realizing that not every moment in life will be deep, or meaningful, or vibrating with energy that would give him the fulfillment that he'd always hoped for, Todd unloaded the dishwasher.

"About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, Mr Fox said. “We know that Hamas uses child soldiers, and these statistics show clearly that Israel is targeting fighting-aged men.”

According to the Henry Jackson Society who's entry in Wikipedia says: While describing itself as non-partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing, neoliberal, and neo-conservative

I just discovered economist Gary Stevenson. He has over a million views of each weekly video on YouTube.

He is working class AF but graduated from LSE & Oxford and then made millions since 2008 betting that inequality will rise and that most people will be worse off. He was the most successful trader for Citibank but quit in disgust to reveal the scam to the public.

They want to classify opposition to Trump as a mental illness.

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week's news anyhow.

I'm biased towards paragraphs.

Otherwise, good point: understanding the other side is a good way to somehow being able to work together.

That is why the comparison is with 2019. It wasn't a pandemic until 2020.

It is a privacy/security issue, not moral. A QR eatery will probably not accept cash either.

Get out of here with your pinko agenda. What are you, some kind of long haired, bleeding-heart, sharey fairy, hippie, Jew?

Behold: The supply-side Jesus.

Amazon also sell faked AI products if you search for (bizarrely)...

“goes against OpenAI use policy”

Try that string and see what happens.

IANAL But my understanding is that a contract cannot void basic rights.

You are describing r/Worldnews not other Reddit subs.

And Lemmy has been 50-50, with very little actual personal attacking.

False equivalence.

Russia bombed Kiev for the hell of it, not even pretending there was a military objective. Russia also is conscripting Ukrainians to fight against their fellow countrymen as cannon-fodder on the front line. It is kidnapping children into Russia.

Biden to Bibi: "don't make the same mistakes we made in 9/11. There's no reason why we had to be in a war in Afghanistan."

"This quantity is not enough to operate hospital generators for more than thirty minutes,” Hamas added

This sounded like an exaggeration to me but it checks out by my calculations (correct me if I am wrong).

This website calculates 300 litres would generate 2.85 MW hours. If what Hamas says is true then the hospital would have to be using 5.7 MW of power.

I compared this with the state of Victoria (pop. 6.7M) Australia where the hospitals in total use 147MW of power. In non-wartime that Gazan hospital probably serves about ten times fewer people, which would be 14.7MW. Admittedly an Australian hospital's power use is probably more profligate.

The fediverse sounds just like what we all thought the internet was back in the early 90's.

Apart from Mozilla sabotaging the ideal in ways others describe here I can think of other ways it could be hijacked by corporate interests...

eg elimination of net neutrality so that ISP's prioritise traffic to paying servers, then doing deals with the biggest servers until we again only have a handful of options if we want wide reach?

Humans are suckers for hype and corporations know hype. While that is dangerous for democracy I have lost interest in communicating with the masses so being part of a relatively small network of people is just fine by me.
