Nobody is worshipping Bernie here, nobody said "King Bernie" and this straw man you constructed doesn't exist. He just acted like an adult by calling out immature behavior and was praised for it. That's it. What an odd, overly hostile reaction lol

Until we get ranked choice voting or similar the Green Party is a joke with zero chance of election. Voting for them only helps Republicans at this point in time.

Really brave of them, that's not an easy thing to do considering the circumstances they're under. I hope they all stay safe during their protests. Or that there was anything I could do to help them.

... the Department claimed in court that the records requested did not exist.

... the records were produced in March 2023.

I normally don't like using generalizing statements but I sure do hate all Republicans. So sick of their hate and greed fueled by lies and deception.

It's a good start, now let's keep that momentum with some new rail lines. Maybe even passenger rail. Come on.

Trump will go complete fascist

Yes, as opposed to his super progressive stances he's had up until this point... He's always been a complete fascist, thankfully for us he was just too dumb to fully capitalize on it while in office.

So if I'm understanding right, based on their recommendations this will all be addressed as more moderation and QOL tools are introduced as we move further down the development roadmap?

If you think that's transphobic I feel sorry for your heart rate, it must never have time to rest. That's just somebody stating their sexual preference, albeit using insensitive wording. But sexual preferences against penis is not transphobic. It's just that, sexual preference, which is valid.

People are in there calling trans people karens with a persecution complex,

One person said this and the other comments rightfully jumped down their throat.

there’s tons of defense of treating trans men like shit

Not there was not.

"allies” telling trans people they’re overreacting, all kinds of inexcusable shit.

I'm trans and will say you're overreacting, a lot.

If this is how lemmy 196 is gonna be I hope this place crashes and burns

K, you can leave anytime you like. That's always been allowed.

Yeah, they're just stating their sexual preference. Maybe a bit insensitive in the wording about the boobs but still not transphobic.

Edit: Wowee The comments turned into a shitshow 14 hours later. As a trans person, please disregard Unmarketable Plushie. They speak without understanding the greater context and do so with animosity, leading them to have to apologize multiple times in this post alone. Please know that most of the trans community is not like that and the inflammatory attitude you see there is generally (thankfully) only in online spaces, not irl.

Mastodon’s use of a chronological feed is what kills it.

Funny, that's exactly the reason I like Mastodon's feed over traditional social media. No bullshit being pushed, just the people I'm following and the posts they make.

A fun read about a royal woman in medieval England who is believed to be the root cause of the kingdom falling. Personally, I like the perspective that she and King Lothar II were actually in love and all the nastiness historians have on Waldra is nothing but the defamation put out by his wife Theutberga. We don't have any way of knowing for sure, but that's how I'm going to interpret this event when I adapt it into my own writing, for the drama 😎

If you're into TTRPG's then you might enjoy the LGBTQ staffers at Paizo (creators of Pathfinder) coming forward and submitting something about what gives them strength. It made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too!
