SpaceX makes largest ever stock market debut, making Elon Musk world’s first trillionaire in c/news@lemmy.world

And given that this garbage isn't profitable and has no hope of becoming profitable, he's soon to be the world's first former trillionaire.

Trump says U.S. will seize Kharg Island and other ‘oil infrastructure points’ in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

A few months ago, I would have said that taking the island would be relatively easy, given the size and strength of the US military, but keeping it would be the hard part.

Now I don't know if we could even take it. These fucking assholes have hollowed out our military.

When did tweeting military plans get normalized?

The (pseudo) theory taking the rich by storm: China funds data center haters in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 82 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not a theory. A theory would have some evidence or reasoning behind it, even with the colloquial version of the word.

No, what's actually happening is a propaganda campaign. A really obvious one. And the same rich people proposing this "theory" are the ones directly and intentionally funding it.

The text on the whiteboard looks fake, her hand is weird, her arm is stumpy, the bar appears to be named "Bajmq" or something judging by the blurry text on the window, the background is blurred in ways that clearly disguise artifacts (and no actual camera of even moderate quality would do that these days)...

Edit: Oh, and don't forget the background people. Ugh.

It's slop. And the account posting it appears to be a bot.

Real answer: "WTF am I doing in an AI-generated rage bait picture?"

Downvote the OP and report it.

Difficult, since the picture is AI-generated rage bait bullshit. Look at her hand.

First thought: How did I end up in an AI-generated bullshit pic designed to inspire anger against hard-working service employees of restaurants?

Second thought: Fuck aaaaaaaall the way off with this intentionally divisive garbage.

I love how you guys keep declaring the war all but over, and then Ukraine keeps kicking the shit out of you because they didn't get the memo.

You know how you guys could actually play nice? Fuck off back to your own country. Maybe then Ukraine will stop kicking the shit out of you.

The market is insane. The valuations for stocks connected in any way to "AI" have no connection to reality whatsoever.

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.
