Anti-War MAGA Unites to Turn on Trump Together in c/politics@lemmy.world

We should be clear: They weren't really anti-war. What they were was stupid enough to believe Trump.

A very cynical part of me wants to know who their parents voted for.

Iran latest: US and Israel carry out joint attack on Iran as Tehran launches retaliatory strikes in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

One possibility is that with Israel focused on Iran and Gaza, other countries take it as an opportunity to attack Israel. The U.S. escalates in defense of Israel, other countries escalate and start including U.S. bases as targets (becoming defacto allies of Iran in the process), and it all spirals from there.

I was going to say all this, only worse and less detailed. Thanks to you, I don't have to!

My favorite example: Copilot to read your emails for you and send responses automatically. Get two people with Copilot sending each other emails with neither person actually involved. Efficient!

Tall guy, here. There are specific exercises you can do to strengthen and stabilize your back, and that might help. I've actually got fewer back troubles than I did when I was young and stupid, because I'm taking care of it.

How about a $10 billion fine for OpenAI for every mistake? Make it hurt. Make them pull the plug on this travesty.

This is what failing to enforce their orders has wrought for the judicial branch. ICE will continue ignoring them until judges start ordering their bailiffs to take these scumbags straight to jail from the courtroom.

Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" in c/technology@lemmy.world

Then why are newer versions of the major models performing so poorly? For instance, GPT 5.2 is definitely not an improvement over 4.5. What's the root cause?

How to unban someone when they have no content? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

Reminder: In addition to not being The Onion, this isn't a politics community (lemmy.world)
 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

Tennessee Republican proposes amendment to allow Trump to serve third term (thehill.com)
 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

Request to unban jeena@piefed.jeena.net from !nottheonion (lemmy.world)
 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

Judge unseals heavily redacted trove of evidence in Trump's 2020 election interference case (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

Biden administration to accuse Russia of sustained effort to influence 2024 election (www.cnn.com)
 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.
