Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•NYT Condemned for Clarifying Starving Palestinian Child's 'Preexisting Health Condition'English10·1 day ago“If a publication ran an editors’ note to ‘clarify’ that some portion of Nazi death camp victims had preexisting conditions, it would rightfully be accused of Holocaust denialism,” said writer Natalie Shure. “This is one of the most depraved things The New York Times has ever published.”
May I quibble? This is just one of the many, many depraved things The New York Times has published. And it’s pretty damned depraved, but I don’t think it’s in the top twenty.

At present, user blocks are absolute, and don’t take moderation into consideration. This means, since I moderate a group, I can’t block users. If I do, and they later post to the group I moderate, I won’t see their posts or comments.

I mean, he had brain rot to be sure, and was nothing much even before the rot set in, but compared to what we have, a 90% presence would be a relief.

Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'It's a cover up': Musk floods X with posts attacking Trump over EpsteinEnglish223·15 days agoIt doesn’t matter.
If someone unearthed video of Trump raping an 11-year-old, Republicans would love him even more, his approval ratings would go up, leaders on the “religious right” would explain that it’s all Biblical, and Trump would successfully sue for the profits from video sales.

Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey and prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein, is firedEnglish1·15 days agoIt’s not easy to shake off a lifetime of being told “Nobody’s above the law” and all that crap, but it is entirely crap.
