Clarence Thomas is a disgrace. My opinion of this man could not get any lower than it already is. It disgusts me that he's openly corrupt and not a god damn thing is being done to impeach and remove him from the Supreme Court.

Third party client support. Specifically alternate web UI's focused on desktop like Alexandrite because if I'm being honest here, I think the comment nesting in Lemmy's offical web UI lacks enough distinction to be useful on desktop (its clearly optimized for mobile browsers). Following conversations can be frustrating on desktop. Without Alexandrite I'd most likely be a mobile app (Voyager) user only.

Edit: No, third party web front ends for reddit do not work anymore. Remember those pesky API changes that went into effect in July and were the entire reason the majority of us are on lemmy now? Yeah, that didn't just kill off third party mobile apps.

Sadly, Millennials aren’t handy. Baby boomers are famous for the idea of being able to fix it themselves. If the dishwasher broke, they fixed it. If the carpet needed cleaning, they cleaned it. They enjoyed doing these tasks on their weekend. That is not the case with Millennials. They don’t care to understand how to fix something.

These are the same people that can't use an iPad unsupervised without somehow getting tricked into sending $2k worth of bitcoin and their SSN to a scammer.

Acting like nobody ever had their uncle get them in the trade union.

Yes, nepotism exists in other industries too. Congratulations, you're half way to getting the point of the discussion.

Plenty of struggling actors have a good work ethic but don’t have powerful/successful mommies and daddies giving them a foot in the door, Meg.

It’s not dismissive to call him a nepo baby. It’s just a reflection of reality. It doesn’t make him a bad actor, it’s just acknowledging he was privileged by being the son of two very famous actors. Besides, [puts on Jeff Foxworthy mustache] If the biggest hardship you face in your life is being called a “nepo baby” then you just might be a nepo baby

Internet providers say the FCC should not investigate broadband prices

And that's exactly why broadband prices should be investigated.

Why Was This 11-Year-Old Brownsville ISD Honor Student Put in Solitary For Three Days?

Because it's Texas. The answer is always because it's Texas.. Well, okay. Sometimes it's Florida too.

Many people are saying Viktor Autobahn, who invented highways, is a Turkish Delight. Bigly people. You wouldn’t believe it. They come to me and they say “Mr. President Sir, have you seen what he’s doing with the cars and the trucks? He’s got them driving on roads and it’s wonderful.” And I say of course! The cars need roads tremendous roads and that’s why when I win in 2024 I’m going to build so many highways and roads and streets. The democrats said “let’s not have streets, we need to drive horses” can you believe that, folks? They were going to take away the roads and the driveways and we weren’t gonna have any more hotdog carts because there’d be no streets! You want a hot dog you can forget about it. The democrats weren’t going to let you have any hotdogs.

Yep, this news actually broke a couple days ago, I remember seeing a Brave fanboy having a meltdown over it and ranting about how Mozilla is the real shady company, blah, blah, blah.

"A lot of the top earners want to be part of the solution," Clooney told Hollywood publication Deadline

Look, this is a super swell offer but George fucking Clooney shouldn't be bailing major studios out of their obligations. They can afford to settle the strike all on their own they just choose not to. Frankly, I think George should stop trying to score points for his generosity and grab a picket sign and make himself useful. He isn't the problem but he's not the fucking solution either.

People think you have to go through a ritual. You don’t, at least in my opinion, you don’t.

This is my favorite part because on the surface it seems as if he’s stupid enough to think that tossing in a casual “you know, this is just like, my opinion bro” is going to shield him.

But I think what’s really going on here is Trump’s trying to prime the idea in his base that if he’s guilty of anything it’s just not understanding the law… Ignorance of the law is not a legal defense but it definitely wouldn’t stop him from getting his base to embrace it as the defacto talking point since he doesn’t have anything else.

The CDC just recommended a new round of boosters for everyone the other day. And as expected, conservative media is melting down about it again. But even beyond that, they’ve been getting back into “COVID temper tantrum” mode for about a week or so now that we're moving into the fall.
