McConnell has fallen multiple times this year, sources say | CNN Politics
  • Zero chance this decrepit human garbage will ever step down. I hope I can be proven wrong but I'd rather just see him stroke out and it be the end. Retribution won't undo what he's done. Putting him in the dirt will be the only chance to invite that opportunity.

    what's a reasonable sort for lemmy?
  • I've been using Connect on Android because it supports keyword filters (musk and reddit alone make my feed much more tolerable) and instance blocking. Was using Jerboa since coming over early June but switched the other day when I read someone mentioning its filtering capabilities.

    It's decent overall, but supreme in eliminating musk spam and lemmynsfw from your All feeds.

    the thing nobody reads!
  • I haven't gotten past the first season of Avatar, heh. Its on the list and I have enjoyed what I've seen but also can't binge it.

  • Hah you're good I actually watched the original series when it came out.

    Been meaning to try Brotherhood, I don't read manga so would be interesting to see the difference. But it's a heavy investment for a show I've sorta already seen.

    What can we do to keep the web open?
  • Google now controls

    • Access to the internet
    • Devices using that access
    • Software to access websites
    • Many of the website you use
    • The ads you see

    But that's not enough, apparently

  • Easy just work 160 hours a week. That leaves time for a nice 8 hour night of sleep, just like the doctor recommends.

    Most unaccompanied children failed to win asylum in Greece, NGO says
  • They are children. Wtf is this analogy of yours. Yes, if a starving child that was all alone asked to be fed and then when I told them I didn't have the means to support them (because, you know, I'm not fucking country, but some countries are in fact countries and have the resources of an entire nation) and would need to send them on their way, yes, I would make sure the starving child that was all alone had some proper way to get somewhere safe and not just send them back on the streets. Not really a wild concept.

    has lemmy.world been going down these past few days or is it the app I use?
  • I saw someone suggest Connect for Lemmy yesterday, Android app that has both instance blocking and keyword filtering. Overall the app is fine but until I find something I love that supports the filtering it's more than sufficient.

    Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees
  • Or the 2000 dead penguins washing up on the coast of Uruguay just a few days ago. Apparently starved to death, though the cause is still being investigated.

    But yeah the phytoplankton and algae boiling to death is triggering a catastrophic change in the ocean that is going to domino in horrible ways and I feel like I don't often see a lot of people mentioning it. It's very scary how the collapse of aquatic ecosystems is playing out.

  • "just eat seafood". Brought to you by the comment thread on the article about the fact that the oceans are half way to literally fucking boiling.

    July heat near impossible without climate change
  • I've been surprised to not see a bunch of 'b-b-but it's only this this hot because of el nino' nonsense when talking about the current phase of our active climate crisis. Like, yeah, it's hotter because of the global weather phenomenon that occurs every few years but that's on top of everything else happening. We may not end up hitting record temps when we're back in La Nina (but the storm damage will be fucking devastating). But next time around it's just going to be like this but way way worse as the ocean continues dying, bad algae blooms, good algae withers, and co2 continues to get pumped into our atmosphere with little reprieve.

    The president of Stanford University has stepped down in the wake of an independent investigation that found “substandard practices” in research papers he was involved in.

    Already plenty of support for your cause.

    We now have a new round of anti privacy bills
  • Well considering the EFF is based in the US, the second sentence of the article mentions the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union, and halfway through the page is a link to Tell Congress which links to a page to look up your representatives with your UNITED STATES Postal Service zip code, I'm gonna let you put on your thinking cap and figure this one out.
