“Sex work is work and work sucks.”

When my Waterpik broke after years of use I was happily surprised to learn they still had replacement parts available.

No. I am not sure how we could even craft such a law in the current US legal climate. Political speech, and money tied to political speech, are nearly impossible to regulate in any meaningful way.

I like this representation a lot.

In such a case, would the two instances still effectively be defederated?

I think so? That’s what I would expect, at least.

If you want to complicate the graph further, I believe hexbear federates using an allow list. Blahaj, lemmy.ca, and sh.itjust.works are not on the allow list, so they are effectively defederated. I haven’t looked further to see which other large instances may be affected.

The beehaw.org/sh.itjust.works defederation is really one-way. Beehaw defederated from us after some exceptionally bad trolls were operating from sh.itjust.works in 2023. IIRC, they requested that we also defederate from them to really make sure the split was made. We honored their request.

We would happily reconnect if Beehaw decided they want to federate with us again. If not, then that’s fine; they have a right to associate with whomever they like.

I believe infosec.pub temporarily defederated from us around the same time for the same reason. It was a rough time.

Canvas is Lemmy’s version of the pixel wars thing, and it’s happening soon. Applicable community: !canvas@toast.ooo

The lemmy.zip folks have also been running The Button: !thebutton@lemmy.zip

Typo. Autocorrect has been killing me lately.

I think there’s enough precedent at this point that everyone would still treat the Construction Constitution as law.

However, the case is also when the Supreme Court gave itself the power to override Congress by declaring laws unconstitutional. If the court overturned Marbury v. Madison the court would also be kneecapping itself by giving up one of its greatest powers.

Just autocorrect screwing me again. Fixed now.

If Colombia wins, free empanadas!

'07 shitbox checking in. Was at the scrap yard last week getting replacement parts.

“Why are people so ________ these days?” drives me nuts. People have always been that way. If today’s behavior seems new and unique it’s only because it’s being presented through different social norms, fashions, or ways of communicating.

I thought party names were sometimes unintuitive in other countries as well? From the names alone I couldn’t tell you what the Whigs or Tories stood for in the UK, or the Brazil of Hope Federation today, or the old Arrow Cross party in Hungary. It’s usually some mix of historical oddities and domestic marketing.

We could use a new Bull Moose party. It’s almost hard to imagine a platform like that winning today.

The party’s platform built on Roosevelt’s Square Deal domestic program and called for several progressive reforms, asserting that “to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day”. The platform included proposals such as restrictions on campaign finance contributions, a reduction of the tariff and the establishment of a social insurance system, an eight-hour workday and women’s suffrage.

My sister worked at Abercrombie & Fitch back in their late-90s/early-00s peak. Every month or two, corporate would send a CD to be played in store during open hours. A 60-minute (or less) loop of company-sactioned pop music, all shift, every shift. I wasn’t the one working there and I still felt miserable on her behalf.

If I learned anything from c/noncredibledefense, it’s that it’s never a war crime the first time.

Pats and tummy rubs before bed on your behalf.
