And in one response, he reinforces the stereotype of French men as romantics and makes all the rest of us look like slackers.

Bravo!

Kansas is linked in there.

It's a little hard to follow all the double and triple negatives, but their voting 'No' on that ballot was what paved the road to this judgement.

The other states listed have their own constitutional amendments lined up to affirm the right to abortion.

The main reason a lot of people still stick around Twitter is because the journalists are there. If Mastodon goes down this path and adds more features to help news organizations and individual reporters, the more likely people will move over.

And going forward, who decides what's an official vs. unofficial Presidential act?

I talked to Japanese colleagues about this a lot. The issue isn't just plain old xenophobia. In a lot of cultures, when someone gets married, there are considerations about marrying 'the right kind' for the family. As silly as that might sound to U.S. 'melting pot' ears, these could be tribal, economic, linguistic, geographic, class, education, age, gender, and yes, race.

In traditional settings, the elders have to bless that marriage, welcome the person, and ideally have the families mesh together and be on the same page.

Inviting foreigners with vastly different backgrounds on almost all those axes, it's a pretty tall order to ask everyone to change those attitudes. And saying one family should close their eyes and do it for the sake of the country while their neighbors hold out for a 'suitable' match is going to be tough. The demographic 'time bomb' has been a known issue since the 80s and people are still resistant to change.

At some point, though, realities catch up.

My bet would be it would take a generational turnover and a few years of popular sitcoms normalizing it.

Fuzzy API calls with a spicy dash of hallucination.

They leave the Boeing and Soyuz up there, then when it's time, gas 'em up and have them act as controlled thrusters. Everything burns up in the atmosphere. All problems solved.

Saves them $800M and change.

So I'm riding in a bike lane and have one of these. It goes off. What exactly am I going to do about it? I can't ride through parked cars, or thump up on the sidewalk each time. Slowing down or stopping means they hit me sooner. I probably shouldn't swerve into traffic.

Maybe I could speed up, but if this alarm is going off, a much faster car is coming at me from behind.

I suppose I could put my affairs in order and find religion. Thanks modern technology!

Trump Is in Line for a $3.5 Billion Windfall From Stake in Truth Social

Voyager sure helped the transition for many of us moving off Reddit.

But one thing that has made it difficult to use is that saved items could only be retrieved in the order of original posting. That meant if you saved an item, then went back to look for it the next day, it wouldn't be there. It could be filed under the original post date which could be days, weeks, or months ago.

This was apparently a problem with the Lemmy back-end. Well, it appears that has been solved: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9233196

Hopefully, it'll roll out to servers soon and eventually make it to Voyager. Huge props to the devs!

PS: one of the last things Apollo added was 'save folders.' I didn't get to use it enough to get hooked on it, but it looked like it was a good way to keep things organized. Even better would have been tagging and smart folders, so items could be saved under multiple categories. Just leaving it here... 😁
