Even better, Trump takes the focus off Gaza, that's a big win for Schumer.

The premise is established in the first two panes. Then the expectation, subverted. Then the joke (premise) is extended.

This is a good demonstration of comedic principles.

...and going any further with it may result in toilet humor.

Apparently the special red paint on the bottom of every single boat is toxic to the ocean. Also, lots of boats have their exhaust systems pumped directly into the ocean.

Also, I heard that if you dumped a lot of iron dust into the ocean it would create algae blooms and eventually help it take up more carbon. So whilst it would initially be destabilising it could do good in the long term.

Boomer is a specific generation.

What we're seeing here is the first generation to go from childhood to elders with internet access/fluency all the way.

The vast majority of "Stalin's" deaths were from Lysenkoism rarher than Stalin directly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko#Consequences_of_Lysenko's_views

Lysenko forced farmers to plant seeds very close together since, according to his "law of the life of species", plants from the same "class" never compete with one another.[9] Lysenko played an active role in the famines that killed millions of Soviet people and his practices prolonged and exacerbated the food shortages.[9] The People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong adopted his methods starting in 1958, with calamitous results, contributing to the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962, in which some 15–55 million people died.[note 1][9]

Even the Gulag system only killed 1 million of the 18 million people who passed through it. Most survived internment.

At a recent Chaos Communications Conference (hacking conference), a hacker going by Martha Root and dressed as the Pink Power Ranger got on stage and deleted several White Nationalist websites live from the conference.

So I guess we're testing how incredibly cool some people can be.

Labor is dead.

 

Journalist Antoinette Lattouf was awarded A$70,000 and possibly more in damages after the public broadcaster wrongly dismissed her under Zionist lobby pressure for sharing a social media post critical of Israel's conduct  in Gaza, reports Joe Lauria.

Currently if I paste a link to a Lemmy.World post on reddit, the user is taken to the comments section - and the image post (eg. the point of the actual link), is a tiny thumbnail.

This is now how to get people to cross over to Lemmy and other federated services.

 

The sidebar should be behind a link or tab.

We desperately need a "disable inbox replies" feature, or at least a place we can turn ALL notifications off.

The "search -> for communities" drop down, should just take you to the communities list (which has a search bar, and actual links to the communities, rather than a directory of them).

Does anyone have any more they'd like to list in the comments?
