Even assuming my ancient Discord login still works (didn’t they make everyone change their names or something? idk if that affects accounts) it doesn’t look like you can use it on a phone without downloading the app, and I’m not doing that just to check for Lemmy announcements. Discuss controversial decisions there if you have to, but announce them here first.

SBF would still be on relatively lenient house arrest at his parent’s lovely Palo Alto home but he violated pretrial rules so many times (using forbidden encrypted communication channels, constantly giving interviews, manipulating witnesses) that he absolutely deserves being sent to jail. It’s an open question whether he’s been such a jackass out of some weird compulsion or as a desperate legal strategy. I guess we’ll find out at his trial.
The right played the long game so well to end Roe and then immediately blew it by validating every terrifying prediction pro-choice folks had made about what would happen without it. Three generations of voters now view reproduction rights as a core issue for the first time because of these jackasses. I hope it burns them for many elections to come.
With the same people who block action on gun violence now offering thoughts and prayers to climate change victims and saying that anyone trying to solve the problem is just politicizing a tragedy.
I had access to a WeWork office for a while. It was fine for solo work or getting a couple of colleagues together for quiet conversations, but their meetings rooms sucked. There was no way to discuss or whiteboard anything confidential in one since the walls were all clear glass and the soundproofing was nonexistent. The whole setup felt like it was created by someone who was going for a ”cool startup office” aesthetic but hadn’t ever actually worked in one.
I wouldn’t recommend that. I did it once for the same reason and got just as many spam calls plus debt collectors trying to reach the person who had the number before me.
Christ, this is almost Emmett Till-level vileness. How many times has this Goon Squad done Klan shit before without quite going “too far” and gotten away with it?
It’s kind of amazing how we’d been answering phones when they rang for a century, until a handful of greedy wankers like these guys and the offshore “calling from Windows” folks started doing their thing a few years ago. Now only the elderly and folks required to answer for work even contemplate picking a call up.
This isn’t dementia, Rudy’s just a dinosaur. A lot of big shots were sleazeballs behind closed doors when he came up half a century ago but most had the good sense to retire, die or at least stop saying their vilest thoughts out loud by now.
Because Starliner was funded by NASA through a fixed-price contract, as part of the Commercial Crew program, Boeing is responsible for any cost overruns and financial losses due to delays.
There’s one piece of good news, unless you’re a Boeing shareholder. That aside it’s sad that a former engineering powerhouse like them just lurches from disaster to disaster these days.
Her son, Shane, died by suicide last year at age 17.
That poor family.
Ah, that's good to know. Thanks.
