That’s insulting to clowns.

The ironic part is, despite being a large shareholder of a company named Tesla, he’s a modern-day Thomas Edison.

I would like to know the energy consumption of this one before we open the floodgates yet again, OpenAI.

Jeffw? He’s an active Lemmy poster and mod of many communities and always posts a ton of news content. Considering the recent events, it’s not that surprising that a lot of news would be about groups paying lip service to wanting a fair political climate.

Better late than never, I suppose.

Keeping turning that other cheek and eventually it’ll be pleasant. Or at least, that’s what my educational sources from the Hub tell me.

Multimillion-dollar ad-buys highlight a so-called “car ban”

A recent fuel manufacturers ad shows a woman driving through a suburban neighborhood. A narrator warns that “President Biden is banning most new gas cars” and that he has put the “freedom to choose what to drive in the rearview mirror.” As the woman drives, she notices that Biden is gleefully sitting in her back seat.

This kind of shit is why we need to have better regulation and oversight of advertisements.

• ✅️ False information presented as fact.
• ✅️ Fear mongering.
• ✅️ Dishonest use of a political candidates likeness.

Even if the most rational voters fact-check what this ad is saying, it will still succeed at convincing emotionally-driven individuals to vote against Biden.

This is about as surprising as finding out water is a liquid.

That’s on me. Should’ve read the date and post body before commenting my joke.

Oh, the irony that this was signed into law today…

I can’t wait for the new curriculum where they teach financial planning. I’m sure it won’t boil down to “unions steal your wages” and “be thankful for any job,” no sir-ee.

The funny part is that rather than respecting this, they chose to cryptographically pair the parts, so they stop working if you replace them…

You don’t at all see how this could be abused in the exact same way as what you’re complaining about, do you?

For example, maybe Trump relaxes some restrictions on China, and the Chinese government just so happens to decide to host an expensive event at one of Trump’s businesses afterward. It’s not a bribe; it’s business as usual™

What a waste of public resources just to be petty and spiteful.

Sovcit can stop it from happening by simply not paying. Whether or not they will be jailed for contempt of court and/or have their car impounded is another story, however.

Ah, but you see, that’s where the national security and economic prosperity conditions come in. Can’t be having alternative teachings encouraging terrorism and communism, you know?

In turn compromise the health and futures of their kids and themselves.

For-profit healthcare: 🤑

If only the system wasn’t designed to squash third parties. Blue gives very little fucks either, it seems.

Next month:

This court finds that, without any question of interpretation, church and state, including publicly-funded education institutions, must be separated. We also find that, with the evidence considered, the teaching of the Bible does not violate the separation of church and state. Teaching of religious texts may, for educational purposes, be added to school curriculum when said curriculum does not mandate teachings containing subjects contrary to the interests of national security and economic prosperity.

At this point, it’s an unsolvable problem.

The only way to begin preventing lobbying interests from overtaking voter interests would be to have anti-lobbying politicians, and enough of them to actually get something done without being blocked by both the Democrats and Republicans. That would only happen after multiple decades of anti-lobbying presidents being elected, and that itself will never happen because the RNC and DNC are both paid off by corporate interests, so they’ll never nominate a candidate that goes against their masters. And, on top of that, it’s highly unlikely that a third-party candidate will ever succeed when they’re both illigitimized by the media and put in an extreme disadvantage by the electoral college.
