I will get aggressive if rye is a choice. A light shove is not out of the question.

They’re original and creative. People are tired of the same old crap. You can’t make a bad movie better by throwing the GDP of a small country at it.

Yeah, you might make the movie more successful commercially, but that’s not the same thing. Plus, it’s a risky move.

Media critics have accused them [CBS] of cowing to MAGA Republicans.

And those critics are entirely correct. This is a spineless, utterly irresponsible decision.

As Mother Jones CEO Monika Bauerlein wrote in 2019, “Journalists can’t just dispassionately chronicle two equally valid ‘sides.’ A free press needs (and is needed by) lowercase-d democracy. We can’t exist without it.”

I agree completely, and CBS is failing the public.

I’m male, hetero, and cis, too. I know there will be some things I’ll never fully understand because of that.

I try to keep things gender neutral (they, y’all). I know I’ll be wrong sometimes. When I’m corrected, I apologize and make sure I don’t repeat the mistake. There will be rare occasions where that’s not good enough for someone, but I look at that as more their issue than mine. I’m being sincere, and doing the best I can.

People who (at best) don’t care about the reason for the protest, or (at worst) actively turn a peaceful protest into something chaotic and violent, will take advantage of situations when they present themselves - just like Rittenhouse did.

Thank you. I’ve never even heard of the term before, and didn’t know if it was slang, a typo, or what. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to search for it.

Serious question: what does “stack rank” mean?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Oh noes! Not his fee-fees!

Hmm. I can see that.

In the thumbnail, the gavel looks like it was manufactured by Tony Stark.

He was charged with one count of ethnic intimidation, a felony, and one count of assault and battery, which is a misdemeanor…

Huh? Shouldn’t the crime of actually harming someone be at least as serious as threatening to?

Congratulations, US legal system! You have encouraged a murderous vigilante!

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
