Didn’t conservatives whine endlessly about “activist jurists”? Def the pot calling the kettle black.

My Dad bought one and took it with us on family camping trips.

I still remember the weird and eerie warbles, chirps and harmonics; creepier than many camp fire ghost stories, under the right conditions.

Cable News Viewers Have a Skewed Attitude Toward Gaza War, Survey Finds in c/[email protected]

The Document Cloud data from this survey of roughly 1100 Americans, was unreadable on mobile.

“Cable news” is such an amorphous term, with plenty of crossover (“Get your NBC News on our app, or Roku and stay connected…”) that I’d like to see their definitions before commenting further.

One data point I found depressing? People who get their news via print only, were least prevalent; less than those who said they avoided news in any form.

It’s specifically the gutting of benefits his voters use, yet they remain faithful. Fucking bewildering.

Memmy now opens an off centered (placed out of frame, in the upper right of the screen), tiny, version of any image I open.

I have to pull every image over to the left and down, see it fully.

Some 330,000 years ago, giant apes the size of elephants roamed the forests of southern China. Their massive teeth—once sold as a "dragon tooth" by a Hong Kong apothecary—gnawed tough leaves and devoured fruit. Then suddenly, while other primates were thriving, these supersized orangutan-like creatures vanished with almost no trace.

Ajit Pai Elected To Public Television Board Of Trustees (indiawest.com)
 

Pai, who chaired the FCC from 2017 to 2021, during the Donald Trump administration and was often derided online mostly for undoing the net neutrality rules, is now a partner at Searchlight Capital Partners, a global investment firm.

”America’s Public Television Stations are honored and delighted to welcome Ajit Pai to the APTS board,” said APTS president and CEO Patrick Butler.

Fox in the henhouse, again.

How do I fix post titles? (lemmy.world)
 

After update they’re too big, and bold, readable from five feet away.

They also limit the visible posts from 8 or more before, to four or five now.

How do I fix this?
