Cynical me thinks they did this exactly because there’s a pretty good chance Trump will be re-elected in the near future, and they’re a-ok with Trump squeezing social media companies. Don’t want to prematurely take away King Trump’s power!

This answer is from Kagi’s search summary: I don’t know how accurate it may or may not be:

As of 2024, the specific U.S. states that only define rape as requiring penis insertion are:

• Alabama
• Florida
• Idaho
• Kansas
• Louisiana
• Mississippi
• North Carolina
• Oklahoma
• South Carolina
• Texas

These states have not updated their legal definitions of rape to include other forms of sexual penetration or oral sex, which can lead to underreporting and inadequate prosecution of sexual assault cases. It is important to note that federal law and many other states have broader definitions of rape that encompass various forms of non-consensual sexual contact.

I’ll throw mine into the mix:

After collecting Seikos for 35 years (first Seiko bought in 1980), I finally splurged on a (9F61 quartz movement) Grand Seiko, model SBGX119. I have really tiny wrists, and the 37mm case is perfect:

Hahahhahahahhahah. Good one.

I’ve been using a Briggs and Riley (checked bag)since 2006 for quarterly business trips (including overseas: it’s been to England, Ireland, India, France, Norway, Russia). Still going strong, nothing’s ever broken.

I think it was ~$350 when I bought it. I just looked, and the equivalent model now goes for $750. God-damn, inflation’s a bitch.

And even that too 8 freaking years! WTF.

No one is. Not the American public, not anyone on the planet. Not even Trump (since he makes shit up as he goes). There is no plan. It’ll just be mass insanity, driven by an insane egomaniac.

No, not the website: the git project.

If you want a web app, try redact.dev (yes, there’s a paid version where you can download your old messages, but the free one wipes out your posts (with random text) for free.

I spent a chunk of this afternoon nuking my old reddit posts. Thousands and thousands of posts… thank goodness for shreddit.

Only 117 votes total?

If the GOP wants, they can swoop in and pay a small number of people to vote her to the top. Mind you, I don’t know that the GOP actually wants her to continue on the national stage?

As a GenXer, i have no idea what “make lemon noises” even means

If you’re having trouble watching dark shows/movies – might be time to jump to OLED. Silo looked fantastic.

Every morning hereafter will be a struggle… “which watch do I wear today? 836 or U1?”

They are so freakin’readable. Love it.

Same here - not sure if this is a cloudflare problem, but i’ve been getting these more and more. I’m on a Mac, I’m pretty darn sure I don’t have a virus, so I don’t know what’s going on.

Never did get to the article, btw.

I’m not saying I believe this report could come true, but… it claims that RFK Jr could siphon 1/3 Dem votes from Biden:

Are there any stats you’re basing that on?

Anecdotally: I lived in California for 30 years, was registered Green, and voted for Gore, as did many of my Green Party friends.

While I really really want this to happen (breaking up all Trump’s businesses), can he yet again stall for years by appealing this all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Right? I thought that was self evident.

Many reasons, including deciding that Trans folks are delusional and fake and taking up more than their fair share of attention. But at the core of it I suspect that it’s a desire to stay relevant and make money in the media world, and the easiest way to do that is to buddy up to the far right assholes of the world. Just a guess though.

Good article on it here:
