Respectfully I think this is interesting conjecture. Intentionally or not, it seems to directly compare modern facilities with Chernobyl. The only factor linking the examples is nuclear. There’s an ocean of time, technology, politics, culture, and regulations between the two.
Thank you. This is what I scrolled through all the shit news to read today.
Yep I’m definitely out of it. My brain subbed in Doctorow and I was trying to figure out wtf he did to justify the comments…
I can’t help but hear her name like a wrestler’s in my head.
“And in this corner, former chair of the FTC, it’s LINA KHAAAN!”
wish she’d had the chance to bash more corporate skulls.
If I recall correctly he also used the terms leftist, progressive, and liberal as if they were all interchangeable. Truly a horribly researched video with nothing of substance. The critique of some visual depictions had merit, but god forbid he pick up a book as a part of a reviewing a literary genre.
I was in the march and I gotta say the situation has me exhausted. A thoroughly shitty situation and far too complex for hot takes.
Supposedly the guy kept the rifle in a bag until halfway into the march. Not a great look. It seems the “security” chose to take a shot at him from the other side of the crowd. Stupid to say the least.
If it goes to court it’ll be complicated and drawn out. I think the only thing we can all agree on conclusively right now is that it was a tragedy.
… That is absolutely not all it requires. The document you linked is only 19 pages long. Surely you can be bothered to look past the first two? The platform must police itself per the rules in the document or face license revocation, and the rules are broad and have the classic ‘contrary to national interest’ out for whatever the government wants. The point of a separate platform is that nobody is going to enforce these rules globally, so it would have to be a Nepal only branch of the site.
Basic safety regulations? I just skimmed the 2023 act and that shit was never gonna fly, and it feels like that was the point. Basically the only way way anyone can comply is to branch off a Nepal version of their site and do whatever they’re told.
And I don’t know why we’d be acting high and mighty here. mastodon and presumably lemmy are blocked along with the rest.
We voted for independent redistricting in Utah a while back. They turned our progressive stronghold into the center of a pinwheel, but recently a judge ruled against that map. Utah is probably gonna be 3rd after Texas and Cali in a lot of these headlines soon, even though we only have one seat in dispute and the most cut and dry redistricting situation.
1000% a solarpunk game shouldn’t be about modes of powering systems, it should be about social structures.
A notable exception to equal opportunity law in the US us that you are allowed to discriminate against an individual on the basis of their age, as long as it’s not old age.
Every copy of Marling’s books I’ve bought includes a shout out to slrpnk.net in the ‘What is Solarpunk?’ section at the beginning. So let’s call it reciprocal. I haven’t read my copy of Neon Riders yet but I absolutely recommend Murder in the Tool Library and The Missing Mermaid.
Noem’s face crawling across the floor was horrifyingly fantastic. And the dogs…
And that’s how I earned the nickname pigpen on a camping trip.
The geographic diversity of my genetics stretches from England to Scotland. Guess I’m a product of “good immigrants.” Therefore I won’t be demonized for who I was born, they’ll have to demonize what I’ve learned and who I am.
Oh thank god. Please let this actually get cut from the bill (not to say there isn’t plenty more that’s fucked in there.) Also fuck his characterization of what we wouldn’t sell. Makes it sound like no big deal but he conveniently left national forests off that list.
These fuckers probably compare themselves to climate protesters unironically.
I got a nice middrive ebike as my first. It’s great for things like large grocery runs etc but I’m working towards getting in better shape and picking up a beater for trips around town.
