Where Tim Walz Stands on the Issues
  • A bullet point list of his policies for those with a short attention span like me.

    • Abortion: Supports abortion rights; signed legislation protecting access in Minnesota.
    • Climate Change: Aims for 100% clean energy by 2040; streamlined renewable energy project permitting, secured EPA grant.
    • Immigration: Backs pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants; expanded state services regardless of status.
    • Israel-Gaza: Aligns with Biden-Harris on two-state solution and humanitarian aid in Gaza; condemned Hamas' actions for Oct. 7th attack.
    • Gun Control: Evolved stance, now supports assault weapons ban, universal background checks, "red flag" law.
    • Economy: Advocated progressive pro-labor legislation; tax cuts for residents with corporate/high earner increases.
    • Paid Leave: Signed bill providing paid family/medical leave up to 12 weeks.
    • Education: Supports free school meals, tuition-free public higher education for eligible low-income students.
    • Marijuana Legalization: Signed legislation legalizing recreational marijuana and expunging/resentencing lower-level convictions.
  • ‘Stop bullshitting me’: Biden said to scold Netanyahu in call on truce-hostage deal
  • I agree, but it's all relative. This is coming from Biden who has been a huge supporter of Israel, letting them do pretty much whatever they want to do since forever. This seems like a huge step for the man, given where he's coming from.

    edit: Just realized I wasn't super clear. I was referring to the consequences part and how even if we want that, just Biden saying something as was reported is a pretty big step from where we were. I pretty much agree completely with @mozz@mbin.grits.dev.

  • Trump's Crypto Embrace Could Be a Disaster for Bitcoin
  • Have a good time with your bitcoin and your crypto and everything else that you're playing with, and we're going to make that one of the greatest industries on Earth. Good luck and God bless you all.

    Probably the funniest thing he could have said to them.

  • Russia interfering in 2024 election to help Trump, US intelligence officials say

  • New Poll Shows Trump’s Desperate Play for Black Voters Is Failing
  • Well I'd be really depressed if it was working.

  • Donald Trump falsely questions Kamala Harris' race as he appears at gathering of Black journalists
  • This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it's Trump and he has zero shame.

  • From reddit selfhosted: What do you wish you knew from the start
  • It is much easier to buy one "hefty" physical machine and run ProxMox with virtual machines for servers than it is to run multiple Raspberry Pis. After living that life for years, I'm a ProxMox shill now. Backups are important (read the other comments), and ProxMox makes backup/restore easy. Because eventually you will fuck a server up beyond repair, you will lose data, and you will feel terrible about it. Learn from my mistakes.

  • North Korean officials seek medicines for Kim's obesity-related health problems, Seoul says
  • Just imagine being that guy's doctor, having to give him bad news with potentially no cure. That has to be nerve wracking.

  • Kamala Harris ‘listening’ to young people on Gaza, says fellow Democrat
  • supports Israel’s right to defend itself

    Yeah, that's not wrong.

    AND that Israel is killing and starving innocents civilians

    Yeah, also not wrong. Because in this instance Israel isn't defending itself. They're not taking out imminent threats; at least not exclusively. They're using an attack to justify imperialism and genocide. We even have a very recent example of how that's usually a disaster for everyone involved.

  • Google Voice replacement?
  • wat

  • Project 2025 is coming for the BWCA
  • I like the idea of getting private money out of news. Creating a hard doctrine of "fairness" is just not possible. Sometimes there are not two sides to the truth, and we wouldn't want to pin in the media outlets if the truth demands a firm stance.

  • Who do you think will be the Dem nominee now and their running mate?
  • She'll be 35 by inauguration day.

  • Who do you think will be the Dem nominee now and their running mate?
  • Plus wouldn't that be two people from California? Talk about giving the Republicans a conniption fit.

  • Peter Thiel is the conservative gay billionaire behind JD Vance's rise to power
  • Hopefully the rube that gets put in the dictator's position gets the memo. A true believer might get the idea that they're bound by the same religious bullshit as the rest of us.

  • Peter Thiel is the conservative gay billionaire behind JD Vance's rise to power
  • This makes me think that the religious theocracy will all be a farce. Something meant to punish the lower classes while the upper classes get to live in a parallel liberal society. I mean surely these billionaires realize that in a true christofascist state they'd lose all the opulence and hedonism available to them now. Seems like something they wouldn't want to risk.

  • Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage
  • I commented this earlier but I would not be surprised if the people behind him are deceptively far away and only look close at this camera angle.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if those people sitting behind him are deceptively far away.

  • Goldman Sachs: AI Is Overhyped, Wildly Expensive, and Unreliable
  • Oh no, you mean the big "smart" money investors that manage to crash the economy every decade or so and ruin every business they touch are gonna leave generative AI alone? Oh nooo. How will the science progress without Goldman Sachs's guiding hand?

    Good riddance.
