No.

The holier-than-thou consumer nonsense becomes a tad silly when you realize you’re typing out your judgement on a computer assembled with child or slave labor. And every single one of us is using a device in that category.

I appreciate people trying to be conscientious, but judging other people’s consumer choices is silly to me.

it’s literally criminal

Good point.

That’s what he said. What a creep.

TBH, the stories regarding Columbia feel muddled, perhaps purposefully.

I know when there were high-profile protests at my old university, Mizzou, several years ago, the most controversial aspect was the occupation of some public areas of the campus and the deliberate exclusion of some members of the student body from accessing them. (And in one case a professor was filmed demanding help to physically remove people from the occupied space.) In the case of Columbia University, that’s been one of the sticking points, and it would seem Columbia has a legitimate basis for punishing students if they too did this. (ie, protesters barring Jews from certain parts of campus.)

That said, from what I’ve read, the main sources for those allegations were Columbia University and the Trump Admin, two sources I’m not particularly inclined to believe.

I honestly don’t know what to think.

Please remove if opinion pieces aren’t allowed, but I’d never heard these comments from Donald Trump, and it feels relevant that he offered this creepy shit up publicly in the wake of his ties to Epstein coming under public scrutiny.

This isn’t the brilliant defense you think it is.

That was my first thought too.

I’m glad to live in a country where we shovel so much money to soulless corporations that they can enshittify everything in order to add to the wealth of people who will never live to spend it.

Thanks.

Ah, thank you for the clarification.

I did, just made a mistake. Thank you and have a pleasant afternoon.

Oh, cool.

I’m glad he got to perform a final time before he bit it.

Can’t pay public defenders?

Tax the goddamn billionaires.

Shocked.

Just shocked… that a wartime partner of the United States would demonstrate an openness to corrupt, self-enriching governance.

They kind of just ignore that the crypto feature is opt-in.

Honestly thought he was already dead.

Wow.

I actually keep a velcro wrap in the backpack I take everywhere because between decades of being a dancer, soccer player, and a roller derby skater and the injuries I had doing those things, coupled with my age, it’s eminently possible for me to just ‘step wrong’ and have to wrap up an ankle.

Thank you for the clarifying info.

This still feels like an injustice to me. Cops should be held to a higher standard.

Two things:

• I love how they mention his sentence in months instead of years here to make it sound longer than it is.
• He’s getting more probation time than jail time… for killing someone for negligently and recklessly assisting in killing someone.

I guess it’s better than nothing.

What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities

Totally wouldn’t want warmongering genociders to be undefended, and maybe, slightly accountable for their war crimes.
