Controversial Trump loyalist confirmed to lifetime judge seat by one vote
It's amazing that "lifetime" positions are not considered controversial in and of themselves by most people.

Corn-Belt Votes Trump. Trump pressures Coke for sugar-based Coke in US.
I don't think a lot of legal food can be considered poison, but both HFCS and sugar soda are really close. Also any other drink with heaps of sugar dumped into it. If you had to pour 40-50g of sugar into your glass you would likely not do it, but when someone else does it for you, you don't have to think about it.

Rick Scott champion of the people
The former hospital company CEO oversaw what was the biggest case of Medicare fraud at the time. Under his leadership, Columbia/HCA gave kickbacks to doctors to refer patients and then made patients’ conditions appear worse than they were so Medicare would pay more.
When Scott was forced out of the company as it was under investigation, he left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million severance, and a $950,000-per-year consulting contract for five years. The hospital, meanwhile, was fined $1.7 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in history until that point.

Every news source has bias, Al Jazeera has over 3000 staff, over 400 journalists and access that comes along with being that massive of a news agency. Obviously they are biased towards reporting that favors the government of Qatar who funds them. Particularly if a lot of stuff is happening in the middle east and Al Jazeera has more journalists in those countries with better connections to those countries they are gonna be first to cover a lot of things in the region. They are also much less likely to use passive voice and other qualification when talking about things like Palestine in their reporting. A lot of people don't want to read "50 Palestinians are shot" instead of "IDF battalion kills 50 Palestinians".

RIP and him dying and Jonathan Joss getting murdered puts a damper on the KOTH relaunch, but I imagine both will be memorialized in some way on it.

If Trump were to pass a EO lowering the Age of consent to 13. Would that finally be enough to break Maga
I don't think most people who voted for Trump care about the age of consent, biblically it's not like there's anything there designating something like that. They might care if he lowered the age of child marriage to 13, but even then that might not tank him.

I think it could happen, but it would have to be a foss app and a paid service or funded by ads, because you need paid people to moderate services like that, moderation on lemmy is about civility and people being mean to eachother, but moderation on a dating app might involve dealing with sexual assault and other illegal things in a much more prominent way. Or it would have to be funded by a government or charity which is not very likely in the present.

Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future
Kiss your privacy goodbye when someone with these on looks at you if you're not wearing a mask, you've just been geolocated.
Also as soon as Apple copies this you are going to see them everywhere in the West, the only thing holding it back now is no one cares about a Meta product.

UPS mass layoffs as 48,000 jobs cut
The Atlanta-based company said the reductions comprised 14,000 roles primarily in management, alongside around 34,000 cuts within its “operational workforce”—employees involved in its day-to-day logistics and delivery services.
I would be curious to know what percentage of the 34,000 chose not to join the union

I think they just plugged their ears and decided as a group that infact no one cared about this, you can be as delusional as you want if you only look at bad polling.
