NPR as an entity is really good about reporting on Islamophobia compared to like…ALL of US MSM. Some NPR hosts however still fall into the biases of post-9/11 xenophobic rhetoric, especially when it comes to brown people who support Gaza.

I still wouldn’t put them on the same level as BBC and MSNBC, and DEFINITELY not Fox and CNN.

Isn’t caffeine the chemical compound stimulating the production of urine? You’d be pissing more…but I guess if you theoretically eat enough beans and run out of bodily fluids…

Dawg, I haven’t eaten a vegetable since December 23rd and I didn’t even know it was the weekend. I’ll go back to the real world January 2. 2026.

Industrialism is not natural.

Is…is this not common sense? How can anyone interpret this as ecofacism? Where do they see factories in nature, and what other species takes other species natural production (bees making honey, cows making milk) and scales them for their own benefit?

Am…am I calling for the genocide of the human race for pointing this out? Are words meaningless?

I’ll engage in good faith: why not?

Holy shit, a Fire Punch meme on Lemmy. (read Fire Punch, everyone)

HP Lovecraft racist or rich white woman born in the 30s racist?

That’s literally the same racism, when do you think HP Lovecraft was living/writing…?

Also, we gotta stop giving old people passes. They have the ability to change, they just choose to be bigots. My 90+ year old grandma wholeheartedly embraces my trans friends even if she doesn’t fully understand how or why “Robert” became “Annalise”, and she had never interacted with a trans person in her life before then.

Brigitte Bardot was just a racist, xenophobic bitter POS until the end.

No, but you can cross-reference it with flu rates in other regions. Numbers are skyrocketing globally this year. Europe is seeing some of the worst numbers since pre-Covid.

It’s a stock image, most likely.

Unironically, a lot of cultural sociologists I follow on bluesky/mastadon are saying that being offline and meeting people through niche hobby spaces and your existing extended social circles is starting to see an uptick, with a lot of younger people seeing posting on major social media or dating apps as “cringe”. You’re at the forefront of what’s cool, nutsack.

That’s what I was thinking too. I browse r/all once in a while just to see what’s going on, and both the posts and comment sections are AI cesspools

I’m commenting on this because I want to read/discuss it later. I can’t seem to save this post

Edit: Ok now that the Xmas hoopla is over and I have free time, I read this. What even was the point lol

I think “the price” is some sort of loss of prestige from it’s feeder schools and cultural capital after offering pro bono work to Trump. I know they lost a bunch of their top associates (really good ones too, apparently) but I heard from a friend who goes to Princeton that a lot of the law students didn’t even want to article there anymore. I’m assuming it’s the same for other big law schools, especially Harvard Law after Trump basically put a target on their backs.

Cadwalader is like the oldest law firm in NYC, the “Taft” in the name comes from President Taft’s brother Henry Taft. From what I understand from my friend (and her associates), it’s actually crazy that they’re merging with another legal entity.

Something something assumptions, asses, etc.

(See, I can simplify stuff too. Now there’s a chance that a certain amount of people are wondering if I’m having a stroke instead of linking it to a well-known English saying.

That’s why you’re not actually “simplifying” anything.)

Dawg are you in my walls 😭 I am literally listening to Touhou Eurobeats from this channel rn

No fr, this works so well! I changed my morning alarm at the start of 2025 to a random song from my “On Rotation” playlist for whatever month it is, and wow has it made it easier for me to get out of bed without being miserable.

(Today was “Typhoon Devil” from the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc soundtrack, if anyone is curious)

You may make the distinction between saving a document and downloading a document, but most people don’t pay anywhere near that amount of attention, and don’t care about specifics.

Covering “Most people” but not all cases is where most software goes awry. We should probably try to avoid that for something as universal as saving a file.

I know someone that went to a charity performance years ago that was hosted there. She said her ass hurt afterwards. Maybe bring a seat cushion or something if anyone ever finds themselves going there for a performance.

This isn’t a joke.
