This will feed a handful of kids. And thousands more will remain hungry. Maybe we could do something real about it like wealth redistribution or just fucking taxing the ultra rich. But no, we’re not doing that. Here’s a feel-good story about some very small, very local good stuff. Forget about all that isn’t being done and go back to sleep.
We’re acting like this shit isn’t a direct threat. Absolutely amazing to me. Its kinda like the end of the prequels (they sucked, btw): so this is how democracy dies…
The really great thing is how he has all kinds of intelligent ideas to share before he goes. /s
Eat shit, asshole.
Great distinction. Glad you pointed this out. This is a call to exclude and a dog whistle for violence.
Beth Bourne, an employee at the University ofCalifornia Davis and active chair of the far-right extremist group Moms for Liberty in Yolo County, Calif., launched into an unsolicited tirade against a group ofdrag queens who were officially invited to partake in a video shoot promoting an upcoming pageant.
Fire this piece of shit. She gives the school a bad name.
I wouldn’t feel terrible if this asshole got zapped by lightning. And hit by an asteroid. And launched into the sun.
Put them in a huge bowl of cold water to stretch the effectiveness. I did exactly this during an unbearable summer and it worked well. As to the comment about heating a room, you’re providing cool air on yourself. Worked well enough for me.
This dude wants to be popular with young voters. I think he’ll pull it off, don’t you? Young people love having their freedoms curtailed by rich assholes who aren’t subject to the laws they’re passing.
HA!
Best that they’re willing to run, maybe.
When your political party has to ban thought there ought to be some questions as to why you support said party.
Agreed. I definitely had zero access to drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes growing up. And teenagers famously hate sex because they’ve been told that it’s bad. That’s why there’s no money in substances and porn.
This lady can eat my ass. What a piece of shit.
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Excuse me, it’s “uh, uhhh, finds a way.”
Apologies for being pedantic.
But really, this is my favorite post so far today. Ending my personal break on a high note and resuming chores with a smile.
This is the best argument I’ve seen so far, which is sad. They should run on this message. Also sad.
Oakland was a pioneer with legislation on this. I recently read that they farm it out to neighboring cities. Fuck OPD.
I also wondered, so thanks for explaining it.
Someone take your pants off quick. I need to suck some dick before I miss out. I don’t wanna end up in Severance!
I was telling someone about a book I had ordered. He commented that I buy lots of books. I explained that I purchase them aspirationally. If I read even a third of them, I’m doing well. Books are awesome.
I applaud this guy for making it work. If the system won’t work for you, go around it. Just be cautious cause it’ll fuck you back if it finds out.
That is not how fair use works.

Oh, cool, so that’s what’s supposed to happen in a collision? I’ll totally buy one.
The ACLU is challenging Section 702 by joining the defense of a neo-Nazi accused of plotting to destroy Baltimore’s power grid.
I hate that groups like the ACLU have to defend nazi scum to protect my liberties. Better that the government not violate our rights in the first place, but in lieu of that, even nazi scum is subject to the same rights and due process as any other citizen. However, I wouldn’t mind if they got pantsed a couple of times by their lawyers.
If landlords can’t pay back loans on office buildings, the lenders will suffer. Some banks are trying to avoid that fate.

Hard times are likely ahead for a lot of people. Mind your expenses and plan to save where possible just in case. Apologies for having a doomer outlook; I'm very cynical about capitalism, especially in the USA.

SAN DIEGO — It was just after 1:30 a.m. when former San Diego police Officer Anthony Hair told a dispatcher he’d arrived at Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee to drop of…

It only works for macOS 15 guests on macOS 15 hosts, but it’s a big improvement.

> But up until now, you haven’t been able to sign into iCloud using macOS on a VM. This made the feature less useful for developers or users hoping to test iCloud features in macOS, or whose apps rely on some kind of syncing with iCloud, or people who just wanted easy access to their iCloud data from within a VM. > > This limitation is going away in macOS 15 Sequoia, according to developer documentation that Apple released yesterday. As long as your host operating system is macOS 15 or newer and your guest operating system is macOS 15 or newer, VMs will now be able to sign into and use iCloud and other Apple ID-related services just as they would when running directly on the hardware.
Well, this is good news that makes me happy. I know a number of devs will be appreciative of this, even in its limited present-form. Presumably, we just need the march of time for older OSes to be supported (starting now with 15 and going forward, I mean – as in, they might not backport, but I don't expect them to take 15 away when they ship 16).

Popular Mac app Bartender appears to have been quietly sold approximately two months ago, with neither the prior owner nor the current owner...
I've been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it's one of my most beloved utilities and this isn't a good look. I'll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

Vice-presidential hopefuls are falling over themselves to explain why they’d undermine democracy.
I opened this post in News last night but had to put my phone down. Now I went to comment and it has been removed, so I’m reposting to Politics. Apologies if someone already did so. Haven’t had a chance to get on Lemmy until now.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker recently made a commencement address bashing Pride Month, and telling women to stay in the kitchen.
Seems like someone deleted this after it got posted, so let’s call out this piece of shit. Apologies if repost.

USA Lemmies: Where do you live?
I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:
I'm in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it's great. How about you?
A well known, and much loved, East Bay chef is dealing with a big blow after his Oakland restaurant was burglarized twice in one night.
