That's exactly why. Last Week Tonight has covered this topic. It's probably available free on YouTube if you wanna look for it.

I wish that was part of the headline because that's actually pretty great.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 15 hours ago

I care that a headline was wasted as a result.

After what happened to Jamaal Bowman. Not a fucking chance.

Oh, did people pointing out the unfair latitude given to your favorite genocidal nation make you upset? Whoops.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 15 hours ago

Oh, I thought the headline meant that elected officials (state officials) could engage in corruption. I didn't read it as Justices of SC could do so, only that they said it's ok.

Shut up and help me find an automated teller machine machine so I can buy a ticket to the game.

“The unfortunate reality is that the alternative is costly and chaotic legal proceedings in courtrooms across the country,” they said in a statement. “While we are confident that we would prevail in any future litigation given the profound misrepresentations about our families and the opioid crisis, we continue to believe that a swift negotiated agreement to provide billions of dollars for people and communities in need is the best way forward.”

We tried to buy our way out because we’re guilty af, but failed.

I agree with another poster that I’m not sure how I feel about this. If this results in them taking greater responsibility for the harm they’ve done, great. If this ends up letting them off easier, travesty.

Playing the game like a badass. Also, for anyone who doesn’t know, you can contribute to order these great Ten Commandments posters (the law says they can come by donations, not via state funding).

Gerrymandering to fuck is a thing. There was a story yesterday or the day before about the Mayor who was elected in the south and got blocked by the white city planners or whatever they’re called. Sure, courts ruled in his favor, but the article pointed out how Black residents hadn’t been aware that there was an election process for years because mayors kept being appointed without their input.

I’m not saying not to vote. I’m saying that has also been neutralized in places and that’s it’s far from what its idealized state would be.

A bill sponsored by GOP State Rep. Dodie Horton would shove Christianity in students' faces

Worth checking out the posters that an activist has prepared at the bottom of the article.

Seems like someone deleted this after it got posted, so let’s call out this piece of shit. Apologies if repost.

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world…”

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?

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

A previously unknown focus of an I.R.S. audit is a dubious accounting maneuver that effectively meant taking the same write-offs twice on a Chicago skyscraper.
