Child rapist grasps for distraction from his role in a sex trafficking ring.

will evidently focus more on outside spending from organizations and super PACs that supported the Democrats’ presidential bid

I heard someone saying the democrats aren't a political party, they don't have ideals, they're just a patronage network.

The entire lawsuit was a bribe to trump. Obviously bullshit lawsuits like that are made to be settled out of court. That way you can disguise the bribe as an out of court settlement payment.

As an Australian living in the northern hemisphere I avoid both christmas and anything that reminds me of home.

A fair point. I would guess closer to 10% than 1% or 100% also have a foreign language page. I'd guess between 1-10% of those english language pages are non-english speakers.

But that's 1.1M living people with english language wikipedia pages, right?

I think a better comparison figure would be the ~1.5B english speakers or the ~400M native english speakers. So 0.073% or 0.275%.

Much more achievable.

three deputies were killed in the blast, which took place when a bomb squad moved some explosives.

Wait if a bomb squad was moving explosives how were three deputies killed? Was it a sheriff's dept bomb squad? The article never says that the deceased were the bomb squad.

I can't help but wonder if there was no moving, just three goobers at a training facility who were allowed to play with explosives.

This is 100% CBS just cowardly caving in to fascism.

That said, the late night talk show format is baffling to me. I've had coworkers who seemed to earnestly enjoy them, but I thought the whole joke of letterman, leno, kimmel etc was to be intentionally unfunny, right? I just do not get it.

let this be the beginning of the end

Fascism doesn't voluntarily give up power. There's no way that scandal brings down the regime. They didn't install tech bros as officers in the military because they intend to respect the will of the electorate.

LLMs have far more going on than lemmy will admit, and we have far less going on than we think.

Yes and yes and especially yes on the last bit.

People just massively overestimate what goes on in a brain, I think. It's not magic. Consciousness, experience and understanding feel ineffable but they're just chemicals and electricity.

There's no divine and irreproducible spark, no reason that silicon and metal couldn't produce a system that does everything a brain does.
