I’ll take shitstorm for $100, Alex.
Elections are still coming. “Inflation” hasn’t been tamed. We’re also waiting for the next pandemic. Planetary thermal events are in progress. Mega drought in the American Southwest threatens to cripple hydroelectric power generation and agriculture for millions.
Normal? That’s just what they want you to think.

Sadly, it’s the taxpayers footing the bill for this settlement.
Don’t get me wrong, he has compensation coming, but how about from the salaries of those responsible? Or from their departmental budget for the next five years?
Quit allowing them to dodge responsibility.

OMFG! This is a shot across the bow of every skeevy publisher that’s done everything they can to screw the creators of myriad fictional characters in a variety of arenas. You go Mr. Willingham and god bless!

Judge Andrew Hanen, Republican, appointed by G.W. Bush, who received his law degree from Baylor, ruled as expected.
Nothing to see here, move on.

Fun fact: “obsfurcate” is used in the article. It is not recognized as a word by any dictionary consulted.

MSN was reposting a NY Post story. Would be unsurprising if, in about a decade or, there’re lawsuits alleging emotional distress, lost wages, trauma, etc., against various media outlets.

Nope.
Engagement numbers help the IPO, this in turn would put more $$ in u/spez pocket and that I will not support.
You’re lucky if the communities you have followed survived intact or unaffected. The tenor of my feed was changing for the worse before the API protests. When I left, after? It was a shithole.
Sure, there are communities that I miss, that are absent, or have weak, or hard to find presences. But the solution isn’t to go lurk and buff those engagement metrics, in my somewhat Reddit hostile opinion.

Republicans killing a program instituted by one of their own, that saved millions of lives, is a clear indication of the depths the party has sunk to.
I have an operational question, any help appreciated.

Mmm…and for certain populations control isn’t the goal, extermination is seen as the next logical step.

Cannot post a reply to a photo in my feed, nor can I completely see the error message being returned to rectify matters. This, after updating to v 0.5 off the Apple AppStore.
“POOLE, England, July 21 (Reuters) - A little-publicized clause in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act has companies scrambling to recycle electric vehicle batteries in North America, putting the region at the forefront of a global race to undermine China's dominance of the field.”
“After Ukraine deployed drones to successfully offset Russia's advantages on the battlefield, Taiwan's leaders took note. But an internal report presented to President Tsai Ing-wen contained an alarming finding: In drones, Taiwan lagged far behind its much more powerful adversary - China. Now, the island has enlisted commercial drone companies in a bid to catch up.” Full article linked
Smoooth, silky-sweet finish.
After the update this week, I could no longer log into the instance I first logged to, using Memmy. Every attempt was met with Unknown Error-Code Type…Network Request Failed, no feed and no joy. In frustration I deleted the app and reinstalled. Same error. So I created an entirely new account, with different server instance and user deets, and I can once again access the fediverse. Did my first instance shuffle from this mortal coil or what? Any tips or tricks, greatly appreciated.
