Black man was holding sandwiches and keys when an Ohio deputy fatally shot him, prosecutor says
Meade was not wearing a body camera at the time, so there is no video evidence of the shooting.
Straight. To. Jail.

Takeaways from the first Republican presidential primary debate
"The Climate Change Hoax" was the most poinant takeaway of the evening, alongside Pence getting fired up without mentioning Mother. It was a wild ride of bullshit with no real substance by a pack of propaganda clowns posing as candidates.

Texas Superintendent Defends Suspending Black Student Over Locs Hairstyle in Full-Page Ad: ‘Being American Requires Conformity'
Being American Requires Conformity to an Open Mind, Open Heart, Open Society, Open Cultures, Democratic Ideals, and Mutual Respect.
None of which this Superintendent Greg Poole demonstrates.
Edit: You know what, full on fuck Superintendent Greg Poole. Rules for thee, not for me:
May 1, 2008
Key excerpts:
When Greg Poole was arrested and put in jail this past weekend, he said he was acting as a father and not as superintendent of the Barbers Hill Independent School District in Chambers County.
A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper has charged the Chambers County school superintendent with obstructing the investigation of an accident involving Poole's 16-year-old son.
The teen flipped his father's pickup and knocked over a utility pole about 3 a.m. Saturday on FM 565 near Cove, about 30 minutes east of Houston, authorities said.
The trooper arrested Poole for refusing to make his son available for questioning about the accident, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
"Trooper Dunn asked him twice to produce his son, and he would not," said Stephanie Davis, Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman in Beaumont. "He never informed the trooper where he could find his son."
EDIT 2: Just to be clear, it's not the trying to cover for his son that is the problem to look at. As a parent myself, I get trying to protect your children even if it's poor judgement, everyone is allowed to make mistakes, child and parent alike.
What I CANNOT FUCKING ABIDE is the insane hypocrisy this fuck demonstrates through allowing exceptions to the LAWS for his child that he will defend and go to jail over, while demanding someone else's child fall in line to school guidelines that are malleable and far less rigid in both application and enforcement than any legal criminality. RULES FOR THEE NOT FOR ME.
When you objectively consider all of the information, it looks a hell of a lot like run of the mill racial prejudice.

YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
Ive had my ad blocker turned off for a week on Youtube. Theres a preroll ad on every video and a shitload of ad break mid video and at the last 3 seconds of a video.
Its the worst viewing experience I can imagine. I cut out Twitch and even stopped all my subs when they went mandatory ad viewing. Im full on ready for third party options in the same spirit as Lemmy.

Prosecutors say Alec Baldwin was ‘engaged in horseplay’ with gun before fatal shooting
This was always a political bag of bullshit. They even had to fund it as a special prosecution with legislation, going so far as to assign a special prosecutor that happened to also be a state Republican legislator.
The gymnastics people keep using to align blame for manslaughter onto Bladwin have slowly become accepted as if it is factual like propaganda is meant to do.

Book ban defenders use sex scenes to make their point at Senate hearing
Attention everyone: Your mom and your dad had the sex, thats how you even exist. Some of them had a lot of sex. Some even had sex with other people.
Censorship is required for effective brainwashing. Fuck autoritarians, not in the fun way.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Says He Won’t Endorse Biden Again for President
Well, thanks to Dwanye for becoming an arrogant coward at the exact time people need voices like his to help build up Democracy ideals.
His take is avoidance because he arrogantly thinks his previous endorsement of Biden caused division in America. That's wild.
The Audacity of This Bitch.

The former host of ‘Reading Rainbow’ used to encourage kids to read books. Now he’s telling adults not to ban them

Yes, politically right conservatives with anti-LGBT+ political agendas are in fact trying to ban books. Why are you lying and misrepresenting reality?

This is an excellent example of how religious belief can cloud the human brain, impairing reason and thoughtfulness.
Well done.

AI Has Lost Its Magic
Somebody woke up and realized that LLM AI is just search rebranded to get more VC funding.
FOSS implementations need to be encouraged and supported at every turn on this, it's almost certainly the only way forward with any reasonably open ethical consideration.
