Why does Baby Jesus look like Donald Trump?

Boo, AI slop

Great, now “Hitler micropenis” is in my search history.

Everybody should know less about celebrities. Give those poor people some privacy (and stop feeding the attention-seekers).

Me, browsing Lemmy, sees this headline:

“Ah yes, another c/theonion banger… Hold up, c/politics!?!”

21.5% of South Koreans have the surname Kim.

Not last night, they saw the Aurora down in fucking Florida!

Epstein asked Wolff what he thought an ideal response from Trump would be. “I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff responded.

And the ironic statement of the decade award goes to …

In this thread: a lot of chocking

Yeah but this is Daily Beast; calling out the DT administration (albeit in click-bait ways) is their shtick.

I know about razor bumps and I don’t mean to make it out to be a total non-issue; my problem is with the headline and byline, which seem to make light of what was actually a deeply disturbing speech. “Look at this idiot, ranting about beards, much ado about nothing, don’t even bother reading about what he said, it was just stupid fluff, shoulda been an email lol!” is not the message that the media needs to tell the public when both Hegseth and Trump made several horrifying, fascism-escalating statements today. (And let’s be real, most people don’t actually read the articles, so burying the lede like this is functionally similar to not reporting on it at all.)

His comment about beards is iterally the least problematic/newsworthy part of his speech. Why the fuck would you focus on this and not, I don’t know, his straight outta 1984 “war is peace” statement? Extreme journalistic malpractice.

Whenever I see this I think “wow, cool idea, wish we had something like this in the US.” And then I think “it’s just asking for a discrimination lawsuit so unlikely.” And then I think “well we should be making public transit free for everyone anyway.” And then I think "until we get our housing affordability and mental health crises resolved, free transit proposals just becomes a fear magnet (“roving homeless shelters!!!” “crime train!!!”). And then I get sad.

Disability protections are generally a great thing, and the US is significantly more accessible than many countries for them, but I’ve watched a lot of cool, creative ideas get torpedoed because of them. Instead we’re stuck with car dominance because “everyone can drive, not everyone can walk/bike/take the bus” (inb4 “wtf that’s not remotely true” … I know, but car brain doesn’t).

Good news: In America, there are currently lots of opportunities to go to prison (not an American? It’s even easier!)

Bad news: it’s not the kind of prison with gym and art.

FYI, reusable produce bags exist!

Rice grown in former plantation states tends to be very high in arsenic, a holdover from the cotton-growing days.

For US-grown rice, my understanding is that California-grown is much safer to consume.

This meme so old, 50" TVs ain’t shit anymore

At least we know it was a real post and not AI

Switching accounts over is a big issue for sure, but even bigger is when entire communities are lost. Those are much harder to switch over, both due to scale and moderation concerns.
