Don't just vote... Offer to take friends, neighbors, and family members to the polls if they have trouble. Help them apply for mail-in ballots. Make sure Mango Mussolini doesn't get anywhere near the Oval Office ever again.

That's a problem for future CEO John Q. Moneybags. Present CEO John Q. Moneybags just improved this quarter's financials, and is already planning his golden-parachute retirement before becoming future Mr. Moneybags.

Yep. I have a standing desk.

"Nobody has seen" just about anything about this election. I want off this fucking ride, man.

Right? Just getting up and doing something is so important. Whatever works to keep people from being sedentary.

It's called "the silent killer" for a reason. Maybe you're just tired lately from working hard, or you've been having headaches from eye strain, or maybe your blood pressure is at 170/120 and you're actually near death.

That's the shit that scares me. I've worked really hard to get my blood pressure way down (currently 110/60) and intend to keep it that way.

The way I see it, every little bit helps. If even a little of the waste heat can be recaptured as electricity for operation, it's a good thing unless the conversion itself has a higher energy cost, and from what I can tell, that's not the case with this technique.

I actually gained weight when I first got serious about the gym, and that worried me until my doctor reassured me that I was putting on muscle, not fat. These days, it's pretty obvious in retrospect.

The real metric I pay attention to is blood pressure. As my dad's getting older he's been struggling with blood pressure, and I don't want that to ever happen to me, so cardio is important.

Not if he can't get on video. The man's bizarre hold on his base is all about his verbal delivery. If he has to rely on written messages, he can't verbally circumvent the higher brain function in his victims and they're more likely to actually become aware that his messages are gibberish.

Bingo. When my body is healthy, my brain is healthy. When my brain is healthy, my code is better.

This is important to know, but at the same time, the majority of registered members in both parties in Pennsylvania voted for the front-runner, and given his youth (20), the primary was his first election involving presidential candidates.

We need to wait until the facts about him come out. Very little is currently known beyond the party registration and the YouTube gun channel.

If you're attending, you can read the Peach Pit online here. I'm not going to be able to make it this year, but hope Eugeneans who can have a great time.

And stay hydrated! It's still going to be beastly hot out!

I'm linking this here because people who are spamming articles about "OMG Biden has Parkinson's disease!!!1!11" need to see this.

The New York Times did not do their homework. At all. Biden probably met with a Parkinson's doctor because he was working on a bipartisan Parkinson's research and treatment bill which he just signed into law.

It's not a flashy, attention-grabbing bill. He's been working on it quietly. But still... The rampant speculation, when he's absolutely not showing the slightest signs of beginning Parkinson's - let alone the advanced stages that would start to affect his mind - is disgusting.

Parkinson's causes extremely well-known symptoms, tremors most notably. Parkinson's dementia sometimes arises in advanced stages, long after tremors would have been constantly visible.

The chances he has Parkinson's are incredibly slim.

Hi everyone,

News is weird. When it's weird enough, it reads like articles from The Onion, and that's what we're all about. But as the community grows, there's more and more content being posted here that just isn't very Onion-y.

Jimmy Carter Becomes Second President Convicted Of Felony For Sticking Up Waffle House

Take a look at that headline from The Onion today. Or this one:

World Series Of Poker Entrants Play One Hand Face-Up So Everyone Can Learn Rules

Or this one:

New Hormone-Free IUD Wards Off Sperm With Steady Emission Of Police-Grade Pepper Spray

That's the flavor we're going for. We want real, credible news articles with headlines that read like they're from The Onion.

This is not the community for:

  • Non-Onion-y political news (it's gotta be absurd enough to look Onion-y)
  • Non-Onion-y regular news (it's gotta be absurd enough to look Onion-y)
  • Satire (it's gotta be actual news)
  • Fake news from fly-by-night "news" sites (again, it's gotta be actual news)

That means not every ridiculous thing a politician does qualifies as appropriate content here.

I need your help, though... I need people to report content that just isn't Onion-y, and I need people to try not to post non-Onion-y content in the first place.

Finally, I need help moderating, so this is also a formal call for new mods! Post below if you think you're ready to take on moderation for one of the larger Lemmy communities! Tell me why you'd like to mod, and link to a news story from any time (it doesn't have to be current) that has a properly Onion-y headline, to show that you really get this community.

I'll pick two people to become new moderators for the community from participants. Good luck!

Some context:

Former Trump White House Communications Director Michael Dubke suggested on CNN Tuesday that Trump had mobilized his allies and proxies to the courthouse in an effort to “get around the gag order” imposed on him by Judge Merchan.

Yep. He's trying to violate the gag order indirectly. Unfortunately for him, the gag order specifically includes attempting to have surrogates violate the order on his behalf.

I suspect there's another gag order hearing incoming.

This is what a DOJ that hasn't been twisted by political bias looks like. It doesn't matter that Cuellar is a Democrat. If he did the crime (and he's innocent until proven guilty), he should do the time.

Republicans: Take note.

The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments on Trump's claim of "absolute immunity." Several news organizations are carrying the arguments live (including the linked article). You can also listen on several YouTube channels, including:
