Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly 'Argued Over Who Would Take 13-Year-Old Girl's Virginity,' Per Explosive House Report in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] 3 points 18 hours ago*

All of mainstream media and half of lemmy is still denying this. Look around this thread.

Link me to a single comment in this post saying Harris was awesome and that she did the best she could to win. They’re all saying she was far from perfect, or even from a good candidate, but voting her was still the correct choice.

Which is why I think Biden at least, half his cabinet, and potentially Harris should be arrested for the war crime of funding a genocide

Ok, cool, no issues with that. Who’s gonna do it when we have other politicians doing that in addition to… literally this article for example, and they’re still governing with no repercussions?

    The reality we have is that Democrats threw a very winnable election to fascists because they couldnt oppose a genocide.

    No one is denying that. Trump being in power is the fault of both Democrats and non-voters.

    But guess which of the two categories has been harmed more by the result? I don’t see Kamala begging on the street because she can’t afford groceries. They never really had anything to lose.

    I mean, "@GamersNexus would this be something you'd like to cover" is a pretty clear giveaway that they wanted the story to blow up.

    Yes, they should've done it anonymously, but I still think that was the point (I don't see any other reason to post this otherwise)

    People not being able to reverse engineer the products they bought and find out privacy violations like the user in the screenshots did…?

    There’s a fuckton of unethical and/or useless things people do with AI, but it’s not everything.

    • Anthropic logged net loss of over $80 billion in first half of 2026 in c/technology@lemmy.world
    [–] 2 points 1 week ago

    From what I understood it’s not really money “lost”, it’s that the company was valued a certain amount and, with a bit of that hype dying down, it’s now valued 80 Billion less.

    I’m not an expert on… pretty much any argument in this thread though, so if someone more knowledgeable can chime in I’d appreciate too.

    Update to rules in c/dadjokes@lemmy.world
    [–] 12 points 1 week ago

    To me, dad jokes and uncle jokes are not just different because of themes, but for the “type” of punchline.

    If a joke is about sex, but it’s a pun or otherwise groan-inducing, to me it’s still a dad joke.

    When the punchline itself becomes “hehe sex”, that’s when it crosses into uncle joke territory.

    [–] 2 points 3 weeks ago

    Imagine being a grown-ass man listening to this, taking the stage and unironically saying “that was a curse put on our city, and most of you know that”. They actually fucking believe that some guy saying “Hail Satan” has the power to “curse” a city.

    Yeah, unfortunately it kinda does look like it, but that’s an issue with most niche communities on here unfortunately. Hopefully someday enough people will get tired of Reddit and move here to get some activity even in those.

    Merging of Hololive branches, and new unit announced (hololivepro.com)
     

    One “hololive” Beyond Regional and Group Boundaries

    Pokémon Card Stores requiring facial recognition scans for entry in Japan in latest anti-scalper move (soranews24.com)
     

    On July 24, the Pokémon Card Game’s official website quietly announced that it will be introducing a facial recognition system for customers wishing to enter Japan’s Pokémon Card Stores. Agreement to the scan is a requisite for entering the stores.

    The Pokémon Company says that facial recognition scans are being implemented for the purposes of crime prevention and to ensure compliance with entry and purchase rules, with that last point implying that this is the latest attempt to combat the growing problem of Pokémon card scalping.

    Facial scans will be required for all shoppers of elementary school age or older, which translates into ages 6 and up. Children younger than 6 will not need to have their faces scanned, but are also prohibited from entering the Pokémon Card Stores without being accompanied by a parent or guardian, so in effect no one will be getting into the stores without themselves or someone in their group getting scanned. The Pokémon Company says that facial and visit number data will be retained to the extent necessary to fulfill the system’s safety and anti-scalping purposes, then deleted “after a certain amount of time has passed.”

    Notice on the Changes to be Made to HOLOSTARS' Management Structure (cover-corp.com)
     

    Since its launch in 2019, HOLOSTARS has been active for almost seven years. With the debuts of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gens, followed by UPROAR!!, it has grown into a group with a total of 12 currently active members and over the course of seven years, their activities went beyond streaming on YouTube, as they joined events, exhibitions, collaborations, and live shows on site.

    However, the current state of the HOLOSTARS business has forced us as a company to have repeated discussions about how to maintain HOLOSTARS in a sustainable manner. We considered the future direction of the group's activities from various perspectives. Ultimately, we have arrived at the conclusion that changing the management structure in a way that fits the current status of HOLOSTARS' activities is unavoidable.

    As a result, the company-led activities of the group, which have progressed alongside the individual activities of each talent, will be coming to a close. From this fiscal year onward, activity policies will shift to mainly focus on individual activities. Moreover, as we will reallocate certain resources, some of our support will be limited or conclude entirely.

    ‘I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran’: High-ranking US intelligence official resigns | CNN Politics (edition.cnn.com)
     

    A senior US intelligence official appointed by President Donald Trump abruptly announced he is stepping down from his post on Tuesday, citing misgivings about the administration’s war with Iran.

    “After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Joe Kent wrote in a post on X.

    “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent added in the resignation letter he attached to the post.
