I’ve heard that the young’uns call “ohio” things that are weird and cringey.

Does that include Israeli Americans? Because I don’t think it does.

Edit: unless they happen to be you know left wing ones protesting apartheid. Then they’re fair game.

Are you actually claiming there was no media coverage of the murdered hostages?

There is a very good argument that the role of non mainstream news sources, like the Intercept, it to shed light on the news that mainstream media doesn’t raise.

If the CNN was blasting 24 hours the news about this American being shot, I’m pretty sure the Intercept would not bother either.

Only one person cares about these ratings, and he hates this.

Boosting a Lemmy post in Mastodon shows up as an upvote in Lemmy. So the two concepts seem to be coupled in the activitypub substructure. I don’t see how upvotes would be secret then, as I don’t think it’s possible to boost something privately on Mastodon.

And then called him a two bit union buster. She was on fire 🔥🔥🔥

That’s a SLAPP suit.

I would think that it is more likely for Netanyahu to do something desperately stupid before the US election to try to change the conversation. Like start a war with Iran as the October surprise…

Yes, I’ve argued elsewhere that the Americans need to relearn federalism. Canada, Switzerland, the EU, all have more modern and better functioning federal or federal-like institutions (with their own problems of course, but nowhere near as broken as in the US). Hell, India has a mandatory retirement age for supreme court justices.

Never has been. I’m just pointing out the underlying antisemitism here. They’re never picking on Warren Buffet or Melinda Gates, arguably much more outspoken Democrats. They’re picking on the jewish guy.

It’s so weird that they always fixate on one billionaire’s (Soros) political activities and ignore the political activities of other much richer millionnaires (Musk, Cochs, etc). It’s almost as if the guy they fixate on and try to demonize is Jewish or something.

Americans, take a look at how the European Court of Justice is staffed:

The Court of Justice consists of 27 Judges who are assisted by 11 Advocates-General. The Judges and Advocates-General are appointed by common accord of the governments of the member states[7] and hold office for a renewable term of six years. The treaties require that they are chosen from legal experts whose independence is “beyond doubt” and who possess the qualifications required for appointment to the highest judicial offices in their respective countries or who are of recognised competence.[7] In practice, each member state nominates a judge whose nomination is then ratified by all other member states.[8]

The Court can sit in plenary session, as a Grand Chamber of fifteen judges (including the president and vice-president), or in chambers of three or five judges. Plenary sittings are now very rare, and the court mostly sits in chambers of three or five judges.[19] Each chamber elects its own president who is elected for a term of three years in the case of the five-judge chambers or one year in the case of three-judge chambers.

Not to mention that there are more than one “supreme courts” with different types of expertise.

There is the General Court, the Civil Service Tribunal, and of course very importantly the European Court of Human Rights.

Spread the hazard of hyper-concentration as thin as possible.

Cars have been computers on wheels for at least 15 years now.

Don’t worry about it. It’s like Linux enthousiasts talking about distros.

If you get to the point where it matters to you, you’ll look into it then. I’ve been here for more than a year and still haven’t bothered to hop servers.
