“Draft bill attached,” wrote a lobbyist representing two influential fossil fuel trade groups to the lead counsel for the West Virginia state energy committee in January 2020.

Bless the EU

I love it! 😸

Thank you for that! I love Tobias and Michael in scenes together. I think I might do an AD rewatch, of the first 3 seasons anyway

There’s got to be a better way of saying that. I love Tobias, and Michael, and Arrested Development

This is what supporting genocide looks like. (If you’re in the US, I think you still have to vote for Biden in November)

You might be able to 2FA via text or phone call. That’s what I do. It’s bad enough I have to BYOD for a laptop. I don’t want MS BS on my personal phone as well

Hardly a rave review :P

I’d say in about 2 years, the entire place is going to be bots with AI generated content that try to mimic “real users” using their new Dynamic Product Ads tool

Yeah, it’s just partially like that now lol. A few weeks ago there was a side-by-side reddit screenshot post on Lemmy. It showed the exact same reddit post, with the exact same tens of comments (all word for word, some in response to each other iirc), from different accounts less than a year apart. 100% fabrication. I’d never seen such extensive bot-masquerading as people behaviour; it was a realization moment for me

If I came across these, I think I’d have to buy one, in solidarity with my favourite social media platform. The peach one sounds yum!

I wouldn’t know about biggest surprise, but I didn’t see the Red Hot Chili Peppers replacing guitar with keyboard. I really liked what John Frusciante and his predecessors had brought to the group. I went from a deep Peppers fan to not listening to anything post Stadium Arcadium

Seems like bird flu in dairy herd cows is spreading quickly

Shrinkflation noobs. Never specify the size of a (pseudo-)prepared product. It’s better to use abstract terms like large, extra large, and jumbo that can be shrunk down in size without increasing legal liability down whenever you wish to juice your profits a bit (/s)

Crap, I use FMovies. If the site is making headlines like this I’m probably going to need another site soon

I was on the subway and saw a mum and her child who looked about 2 in a stroller and with a pacifier in. The child was being entertained by a tablet that she and her mum were controlling. I thought of how many screens that child will interact with throughout her life and how many of those would replace face-to-face conversations with another human that previous generations had

I think for me this thing is a symbol of where we are and where we’re heading in terms of not being able to look away from ads

You may be right, but things have changed a lot in 3.5 months, and I hope there’s more change to come. The West was blindly supportive of Israel in October (and blindly intolerant of anyone who criticized Israel). Biden’s tone with Netanyahu has changed. I don’t know what’s to come, but I’m hoping for some justice. Let’s get it started in the International Court of Justice!

I think Tidal scores the best among music streaming services in terms of compensating artists. I switched from Spotify to Tidal several months ago and have no regrets

That litter box should have been changed a while ago. Poor cat
