The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
It was to be expected, but I found Lemmy because of everything that happened, uninstalled Reddit, and now use Mastodon and Lemmy as my social media platforms of choice, so it’s a personal win.
Hopefully, as Lemmy continues to thrive, instances hold up to the pressure of growth and we see an influx of content that made Reddit so valuable to users and Reddit corporate alike.

Reddit Insiders Selling Days After IPO; Shares Fall
He sold about 500,000 shares. He owned, apparently, 3.3% of the 17.06 million total shares of the company, meaning he had a little over 562,000 shares. He sold almost all of his shares. That doesn't exactly exude confidence in future growth, IMO.

‘Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower!’: Trump begs fans to pay his $464m bond
Robert Reich posted this the other day and I can't help but think this is probably more accurate than anyone in the Trump org wants to admit.

Americans warned of grocery prices shock
I know she’s been villainized by the right, but I feel like, at this point, she needs to be elevated to key leadership of the party. She’s the only one who seems to be able to speak to specifics. I just listened to Jeffries on Jon Stewart’s podcast and it was all of the same old generalities.

Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocks ruling that allowed woman emergency abortion
Anyone else remember, in the lead up to the ObamaCare vote, when the GOP used the idea of government officials (death panels) deciding who should get treatment and who should die as a fear mongering tactic?
My my my how the turns have tabled.

This is a roundabout way for billionaires to donate to Trump without him having to necessarily disclose everything.

McMahon says shutdown shows Education Department isn’t needed
In the last two weeks, no one has tried to rob me. Are the police really necessary?

FBI nabs worker at DVD company for ripping prerelease blockbusters
15 years? Wow. He could have run down multiple pedestrians, killed one of them, and used a false insurance claim to try to cover it up and gotten a third of that.

Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

For the average consumer, this would help Apple and Google out more than anything. People want what they know.
On the more savvy user side and for gamers, this move would, potentially, help Linux adoption rates.

MTG Turns on Trump and Tells GOP to End the Shutdown
Her arguments are surprisingly valid. Even going as far as complaining that they aren’t passing bills but instead are relying on executive resolutions. It’s a weird time when MTG starts sounding relatively sane.

Democrats reach deal to end government shutdown before Thanksgiving: report
The deal also includes voting in December to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that Democrats have been fighting to preserve, according to the report.
Vote on it? They don’t control the House or Senate. They’ll lose it.

I like the interface, and have been a user of the reddit version for years...
I don’t understand the hate for charging for a product. I pay for a Mastodon client. If a Lemmy client that I really liked cost money and I felt the price was reasonable, I’d support that developer, too.

Minimum wage
It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.
Then, when people don’t want to work for shit pay, they cry that “nobody wants to work anymore”.

Texas Supreme Court Rules Against Woman Who Sought Court-Approved Abortion
Women are screwed in states like Texas. This woman isn’t someone who was careless and doesn’t want to live with consequences. This is as clear cut and in line with the supposed exceptions as can be. She’s very fortunate that she can afford to go elsewhere. There are many woman who don’t have that same option. Absolutely horrible.

Stock buybacks need to be made illegal again. I don’t understand how it’s anything other than market manipulation.

Multiple people shot at Iowa high school on the first day after winter break, officials say
Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said that school had not yet started when the shooting began.
“Luckily, so there were very few students and faculty in the building, which I think contributed to a good outcome in that sense,” he said at a news briefing.
Maybe it’s a bad selected quote but using the phrase “good outcome” because only 3 people were shot in a school is insane, to me.

'I'm not a progressive': Fetterman breaks with the left, showing a maverick side
Having a conversation about immigration isn’t a bad thing. Going in to that conversation looking to shove your view points down the others side throat IS a bad thing.
The reality is that we need immigrants to fill a ton of holes in our workforce but we also need to fix the system to allow legal immigration to be an easier process and to try to stem the tide of illegal immigration.
I don’t have the answers, but I know the problems exist and there are much smarter people who could help get ideas moving if the ideologues would get out of the way.
