The Department of Education is being dismantled.

All the photographs nominated this year were fantastic but I’m happy to see this one win. It was definitely my favorite.

After months of posts about the “Democrats being complicit in a genocide,” I’m not going to pretend that “don’t let fascism win” was somehow the standard they were being held to.

We all knew well ahead of time just how much worse Republicans would be.

all because the national Democratic party failed us

Democrats are held to a higher standard than Republicans even by people who claim progressive ideals.

Actually indistinguishable from Truth social.

You’re only making one person look silly, and it’s not them.

.ml users will never not be the funniest part of this site tbh

It’ll be great to actually play Drunken Master Monk instead of just being an Open Fist Monk who drank all the time.

I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.

It’s hard to tell whether or not they truly don’t understand, or they do, and they’re just saying shit to rile up their base.

Not sure how much it matters either way, though. Consciously or not, it’s still the spread of misinformation.

Gotta grow big and strong

I love how fuzzy they are.

They would have come to Lemmy if it was the platform they wanted. We can bitch and moan about them wanting something that we think is against their best interests, but what’ll that do?

I don’t really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there’ll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there’s more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being “decentralized” as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they’ve been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

I can’t tell if this comment is ignorant or malicious, but I’m not sure if the difference even matters here.

If I’m understanding correctly, I think “ERB” here is referring to “Epic Rap Battles” which would make the “starter” the first one to rap in the relevant video.

Hildryn has always been a frame I want to enjoy. Having such a massive pool of shields that’s used as energy is a cool concept, but I’ve always struggled to feel like I’m making an impact with my abilities, and there are other frames I would rather use as a weapon platform.

I’m still having a great time with it, but I’m a bit werided out that it looks worse on my Xbox than Rise did on my Switch. Some scenes look like they came straight from the Xbox 360/PS3.

Many of those aforementioned nations aren’t exactly still running, though.
