So, uhhh, just put of curiosity, any particular add-ons you'd suggest?

Jesus. We're gonna have a surgical residency dropout and anti-vaccine nut as our surgeon general.

That's fucking insane.

If they're genuinely apologetic and recognize they made a terrible choice, then yes... Welcome back to reality.

One step closer to just erasing trans people.

I need to remain hopeful. For my sanity.

Genocide. This is blatant, obvious, inexcusable genocide. Israel is now a rogue state.

Certains d'entre nous parlent un peu de français, alors pourquoi pas?

Actually, it expects them not to, so it can yell about how unfair that is, and the Trump cult will eat it up.

I did exactly that for my mom. Totally non-technical, but she was beginning to absolutely hate all the invasive noise and crap from Windows. All she wanted was to write free of distraction.

So we backed up her files, set up Cinnamon, installed LibreOffice, and imported her files. I set the system up to be offline, since it's her no-distractions computer, showed her the basics of using it, and basically haven't heard a peep about it since.

Linux just works, without the bullshit.

If we manage to survive as a democratic republic, there are a lot of fascism enablers who need to be (scrupulously legally) prosecuted for it.

Okay, at first I literally did think this was an Onion headline, it's so fucking idiotic.

Unlike a lot of people, I think the orange shit-head is more evil than stupid... But goddamn, he's also incredibly stupid.

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
