The list of things Harris has sponsored is relatively boring, none of them involve murdering journalists:
Wasn't the series approved for like 80 episodes not too long ago?
70 - 70 episodes in 2018:
We've only had 40 episodes since then, so that renewal alone comes up to Season 10.
I was on vicodin for my first year after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis. It didn't really remove the pain so much as made it more distant?
Like someone pounding on your front door when you're two rooms away.
Amazon employees starting their own businesses in 3-2-1...
Either the 4 year old attention span, but maybe also he doesn't know what a "weekend" is? 🤔
God I hope so, but Trump's continued support, specifically with white women, the largest demographic, is just BAFFLING to me.
"Tell Trump it was me! I want him to know it was me!"
My personal opinion is that it's going to be far closer than anyone is really comfortable with.
I mean, look at 2020... BOTH candidates got more votes than any other candidate in history. 74 million people out of 330 million voted for Trump. 22.4% of the entire population went "Yeah, he looks good!"
Oh, it's been going on long before now. Negative news about Biden and Biden polling was being buried before, that didn't really stop until his train wreck of a debate performance.
i.e. "The pages nobody reads". ;)
No, the existence of child soldiers is due to illegal indoctrination and recruitment efforts. That's the entire purpose of thoe Jihadi "schools" run by the Houthi.

Kids aren't signing up for this, they're bullied and brainwashed into it, and any legitimate military force would reject them.
Yes, Trump appears to have momentum, but it also appears to be a phantom momentum driven by right leaning polling organizations.

"I now count 27 Republican or right-aligned entities in the polling averages:
American Greatness, Daily Mail, co/efficent, Cygnal, Echelon, Emerson, Fabrizio, Fox News, Insider Advantage, McLaughlin, Mitchell Communications, Napolitan Institute, Noble Predictive, On Message, Orbital Digital, Public Opinion Strategies, Quantus, Rasmussen, Redfield & Wilton, Remington, RMG, SoCal Data, The Telegraph, Trafalgar, TIPP, Victory Insights, Wall Street Journal.
In September 12 of the 24 polls of North Carolina were conducted by red wave pollsters. Check out the last 4 polls released in PA on 538. All are red wavers."
Trump amplifies and justifies the way they have always felt. If it wasn't MAGA it would be something else.
They need mass therapy.
Removed for misinformation. Harris and supporters DO NOT support genocide.
No child, happy or otherwise, legally becomes a soldier.
https://childrenandarmedconflict.un.org/six-grave-violations/child-soldiers/
"Human rights law declares 18 as the minimum legal age for recruitment and use of children in hostilities. Recruiting and using children under the age of 15 as soldiers is prohibited under international humanitarian law – treaty and custom – and is defined as a war crime by the International Criminal Court. Parties to conflict that recruit and use children are listed by the Secretary-General in the annexes of his annual report on children and armed conflict."
It's true he's not in the pamphlet by his own design.
It's not true that there's a statement why.

Definitely not a stretch for adults to pick up weapons and fight, but what they're doing to the kids by propagandizing them through religious indoctrination is entirely a different matter.
This is why the UN required them to stop using kids, which they agreed to in 2022...
Unfortunately, all of that goes against what they agreed to do in 2022:
https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/13/yemen-houthis-recruit-more-child-soldiers-october-7
"In 2022, the Houthis signed an action plan with the UN to end grave violations against children, including the recruitment and use of children in their forces, and committed to releasing all children from their forces within six months.
Tawfik al-Hamidi, the president of SAM, told Human Rights Watch that the Houthis use their government institutions in their efforts to recruit children, including the Ministries of Education, Interior, and Defense. “All of them are working together and coordinate to mobilize children and recruit them,” he said.
Another activist, who works as a human rights researcher, said that “[recruitment] activities in schools have increased massively [since October 7], including through the school scouts. They take students from schools to their culture centers where they lecture children about the Jihad and send them to military camps and front lines.”
By leveraging official institutions, including schools, the Houthis have managed to take advantage of a far broader swathe of children. The UN secretary-general has also reported on the Houthis’ use of educational facilities for military purposes."
I think you guys are on two different tracks.
When @Keeponstalin@lemmy.world references "the genocide", I don't think they're talking about the ongoing Israeli genocide, they're talking about the OTHER genocide, the one in Yemen, which directly involves the Houthi.
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2024.2346405#abstract
It all gets muddled because the Houthis also make attacks in the Red Sea so it all kind of conflates together.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sea_crisis
But Squid is right in that child soldiers aren't volunteers, they don't have the capacity of volunteering. They're conscripted, often on dire threats against them and their families.
The Israeli genocide really does have nothing to do with it. The Yemeni genocide definitely does.
Nebraska’s high court says people with felony records can register to vote in a decision with implications for the upcoming election.
The headline here hides the epic smackdown of the Secretary of State and Attorney General who thought they had the right to decide what laws were constitutional and which were not.
FTA:
“Patty and Selma at the Department of Motor Vehicles may not be constitutional scholars, but they know that they are expected to follow the law,” Justice Lindsey Miller-Lerman wrote in the high court’s ruling, criticizing Evnen and Attorney General Mike Hilgers for taking it upon themselves to declare the law unconstitutional. “Do we want to live in a world where every state employee who has a hunch a statute is flawed gets to ignore it?”
"True Value, which sells hardware, tools, lumber, plumbing and heating supplies, and other home improvement goods, said its retail stores are independently owned and not part of the bankruptcy process.
The Chicago, Illinois-based company, has between $500 million and $1 billion in total liabilities, according to its Chapter 11 petition in Delaware bankruptcy court."
Federal emergency workers were told to evacuate Rutherford County, North Carolina, on October 12 over safety concern.
"FEMA also been accused by former president Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, and other Republicans of not being able to respond well enough to Helene because it had diverted disaster relief funds to help migrants.
That is not true, because while FEMA administers the Shelter and Services Program, funding for it comes from a separate pot of money funded by Congress for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Other false claims that have circulated include that people taking federal relief money could see their land seized or that that $750 is the most they will ever get to rebuild. FEMA has pushed back against the false claims and conspiracy theories, setting up a page on its website to combat misinformation and rumors."
The handcrafted weapon was made out of six plastic sporks bound together with plastic wrap, according to court records.

Recipe from America's Test Kitchen:
2 cups (8 oz) whole wheat flour 1 cup (4.25 oz.) unbleached all purpose flour 1 cup of wheat bran 1/4 cup wheat germ 2 teaspoons of sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon table salt 2 cups of buttermilk
375° middle rack, 40-45 minutes, rotate 1/2 way through. 185° internal temp. Cool for 1 hr.
I found, on initial mix, the dough was far, far, too dry. It kept crumbling apart and WOULD NOT hold together.
I kept adding splashes of buttermilk until I could get a loaf that would hang together.
Baking time had to go a little longer too, after 45 minutes it was only 145°. Maybe because of the added buttermilk. Running another 15 minutes brought it up to temp.

We've had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.
We're now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.
In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.
So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.

An IV fluid plant in North Carolina was hit by floodwaters and another now sits in the path of Hurricane Milton
FTA:
"The Baxter plant in North Carolina, together with a B. Braun plant in Florida, produces about 85% of the nation's IV fluid supply. The shortage caused by the Baxter plant's temporary closure has forced hospitals to postpone surgeries as a desperate measure to ration supplies for patients in the most critical condition."
Americans are revolting against McDonald’s and fast-food chains. That’s hurting french fry suppliers like Lamb Weston.
"Lamb Weston, the largest producer of french fries in North America and a major supplier to fast-food chains, restaurants and grocery stores, is closing a production plant in Washington state. The company announced last week that it would lay off nearly 400 employees, or 4% of its workforce, and temporarily cut production lines in response to slowing customer demand."
You'll have to go to the 'burbs to get your cheap spooky fix this year!
Portland is entering a new chapter of city government in 2025, and many want a seat at the top. In all, 19 people have filed to run for mayor.
The complex proposal to hike business taxes and divide the proceeds among residents is the most divisive measure on the Oregon ballot.
Been seeing a lot of anti-118 ads lately, specifically talking about the harms to "small business" so I had to look it up myself:
FTA above:
"Measure 118 would slap a 3% tax on a business’s Oregon sales above $25 million, then divvy up the money raised among Oregon’s more than 4 million residents, no matter their age.
An analysis by state revenue officials suggests the policy would reap more than $6.5 billion a year, even though it raises taxes on fewer than 2% of businesses. The measure could then send around $1,600 a year to every Oregonian beginning in 2026 — either via tax credits or direct payments."
So, first, if your business generates more than $25 million in sales ($68,493.15 every day!) - you are NOT a "small business".
2nd, we definitely need reform on business taxes to make sure businesses are paying their fair share.
3rd, I'm not so sure $1,600 direct payments to Oregonians is the best use of those tax dollars. It should be used to reduce our overall tax burden. Maybe increase the standard deduction by $1,600 or some such.
The race starts at about 7 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 and travels through many Portland neighborhoods where streets will be blocked off. See the route map here.
New web series dropped today, it's like Portlandia but more painfully real.
"For months, Netanyahu and his government have consistently ignored American counsel as to how to prosecute the war in Gaza against Hamas after the Oct. 7 terror attacks. Biden and his aides were repeatedly frustrated by Israel’s widening war aims within Gaza — with a devastating impact on Palestinian civilians — even at the cost of a deal to free the remaining hostages.
Biden deemed Israel’s response “over the top” and did stop one shipment of American arms to Israel. But even as pressure grew from fellow Democrats to create distance from Netanyahu, Biden’s reflexive instinct was to support Israel despite the swelling humanitarian crisis. As his influence over Netanyahu shrunk, the president’s anger grew. Phone calls between the two men were increasingly turned into shouting matches, according to one of the officials and one other senior official not authorized to discuss private conversations. Biden told confidants that he did not believe his Israeli counterpart wanted a cease-fire deal, arguing that Netanyahu was trying to perpetuate the conflict to save his political future and assist Trump in November’s election, the officials said."
An email thread obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows that at least 13 candidates explicitly agreed to trade contributions to reach the donor threshold to qualify for public funds.
The City of Portland’s Small Donor Elections program has placed a temporary hold on matching contributions from candidates or family members of candidates made after Aug. 7 after learning that many candidates appeared to agree to quid-pro-quo donations to each other.
