Morgan Spurlock, documentary filmmaker behind 'Super Size Me,' dies at 53
  • turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.

    I will agree fast food isn't good for you, but at the same time it's also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.

  • Arizona's Democratic leaders get enough votes to repeal 19th century abortion ban
  • I think it was more like a literal handful of arizona gop state legislators realized how bad of a look not repealing this law would be for the state republicans up and down the ballot this year and took away a cudgel the state democratic party was going to hammer every republican on the ballot with.

  • Only Cable News Viewers Think Israel isn't Committing a Genocide, Survey Finds
  • you're going to get that when

    a) western media and journalists are deathly afraid of being labeled antisemites for reporting on what the secular government of israel is doing and

    b) cable news viewers skew overwhelmingly republican and conservative who are already antimuslim and pro israel to begin with.

    these are the people who are keeping the current administration from telling it like it really is. because I honestly don't believe that bibi would be as empowered to do what he's been doing in gaza if the us government isn't actively publicly condemning in plain language what has happened already.

  • Third GOP lawmaker says he will support effort to oust Mike Johnson from speakership
  • akshually...

    scuttlebutt has been that the second the vote to vacate is triggered, 4 house republicans would immediately resign, putting democrats in the majority. there would be no more republicans in charge and we get a functional house with speaker hakeem jeffries for the next 8 months at least.

  • "Increasingly desperate": Experts say Trump's repeated delay bids "trying the patience" of judges
  • if he actually is innocent, the absolutely best thing for him to do is to get them over with, then when he is acquited he can use his witch hunt and fake news talking points and gain votes.

    pushing all of these trials and trying to bank on winning an election to get out of the majority of these charges (he can't get around georgia that easily) is a 1% strategy in my opinion. that's how I know he's guilty. his entire post indictment behavior is one of a guilty party. I don't really need to follow each case that closely to come to that conclusion. trump has telegraphed that he's guilty.

    I'm just worried that someone in his cult might end up on one of the juries.

  • Arizona State Senator Leads Prayer In Tongues On Floor Before Abortion Ruling.
  • I'm convinced that everyone who is against abortion believes that all pregnancies never have complications. or are from loving supportive relationships. or are completely wrapped up in their own world they believe they have a right to have a say in everyone's business.

  • Arizona State Senator Leads Prayer In Tongues On Floor Before Abortion Ruling.
  • if anyone thinks this is acceptable behavior in any house of legislation, substitute what is happening here with an islamic call to prayer and prayer session.

    did your opinion change? why is it okay that christians can do this and no one else?

  • Cornel West announces running mate for independent US presidential bid
  • a vote for west is a vote for trump.

    these 3rd party runners have no realistic chance of winning the presidency and have a very real chance of sucking votes away from the only viable person who can beat trump.

  • Twitter’s Clumsy Pivot to X.com Is a Gift to Phishers
  • who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?

    not only a genius but ta soooper genius.

  • Missouri executes Brian Dorsey for 2006 double murder after mercy bid backed by 72 correctional officers
  • is it really that much of a surprise that the most conservative and conservative christian states really love imposing the harshest old testament level punishments on as many people as possible?

    forgiveness and rehabilitation? that sounds like something christ would do. fuck that, string him up on the old maple tree in the park so we can make an example out of him.

    notice the same states proudly claiming to be pro life lead the nation in infant mortality, post birth mortality, and death sentences. it only shows that "pro life" only emphasizes the developing life, not any of it fully developed.

  • Not to be outdone by Trans Day of Visibility, Trump weirdly declares ‘Christian Visibility Day’
  • christian visibility day is any day that ends with "y".

    there is no place in this country where a christian is not only not persecuted for their beliefs but is publicly lionized for them if they profess them.

    majorities that need to be publicly recognized is a absolute ploy to silence and opress minorities, the more marginalized the worse it is.

  • Hunter Biden asks judge to dismiss tax charges, arguing that prosecutors bowed to political pressure
    www.nbcnews.com Hunter Biden asks judge to dismiss tax charges, arguing that prosecutors bowed to political pressure

    President Joe Biden’s son pleaded not guilty to nine tax-related charges during his arraignment in January.

    Hunter Biden asks judge to dismiss tax charges, arguing that prosecutors bowed to political pressure

    this whole investigation was a textbook definition of a witch hunt. and now it's come to light that the entire basis of investigating hunter was from an fbi informant with close ties to russian counterintel. the same people who talked with rudy and the laptop.

    hunter has a real good shot at winning a defamation suit against smirnov and rudy imo but I'm not a law talkin guy.

    Gaetz, Stefanik offer resolution declaring Trump ‘did not engage in insurrection’
    thehill.com Gaetz, Stefanik offer resolution declaring Trump ‘did not engage in insurrection’

    Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) unveiled a resolution Tuesday that declares former President Trump “did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” The…

    Gaetz, Stefanik offer resolution declaring Trump ‘did not engage in insurrection’

    ... in other words gaetz and company are admitting (knowingly or unwittingly) that

    • trump is an insurrecionist
    • trump is very likely to lose at the supreme court in his colorado 14th amendment appeal hearing
    • that the plain text reading of section 3 of the 14th amendment says congress can waive the condition (but only if 2/3 of both houses agree to waive the condition)

    the funny thing is how when this passes the house, it won't be anywhere close to the 290 they need but they'll try to act as though it's binding. and they're doing this before the hearing, where the plaintiff's attorney and/or the colorado solicitor general can point out that since the house and senate have initiated resolutions declaring trump not an insurrectionist that the colorado supreme court ruling should hold since the congress has started the process of returning trump to the ballot.

    and if I a non law talkin guy could see this and figure it out then so should the supreme court. especially if someone points that out to them.

    the lemmy system

    I've actually got 2 questions, one about l.w and one about lemmy in general.

    1. I signed up yesterday and got an email to confirm my address but it's not working. I've used the user I created, my email, and the user that was in my email and it's not working. is it me or is it the server here at issue?

    2. I've also got a mastodon account. how do I create a post on any sub straight from there and not through a lemmy instance?
