The House GOP's problems have only multiplied in the year since ousting McCarthy

    Wow. Just, wow. I think you've really touched on a deeper truth here that many people simply haven't arrived at.

    Yes, there are many people in our society that a good but there's also the willfully ignorant (and under educated) bullies who's whole lives have been based on the flawed premise that they are simply better than everyone else.

    Tina Peters is the outstanding example of this type of person. She wasn't "brainwashed" or somehow changed. Her actions were a result of her deep seated belief that she is somehow more important, more worthy than anyone else. Trumpism simply gave these people an "acceptable" way of acting out on their world view.

    Well, he did have to put up with her being in the same court room as him. Personally, I feel sorry for the Judge, he didn't deserve this.

  • Weirdmusic Weirdmusic Now 100%

    I'm guessing overwatering. If this was an outdoors I'd say it was under watered but overwatering indoor plants results in nearly identical symptoms. Take the plant outside for a month or two till it's recovered.

    When they say: "soar" they mean the price went from an all time low of $16 up to $18. Less like soaring and more like a dead cat bounce. Mmmmm... dead cat 😺

    Video has been posted on social media purporting to show overnight Ukrainian attacks on a Russian air force base at Morozovsk, in Rostov Oblast, which is situated around 190 miles away from the nearest territory controlled by Kyiv. The attacks were confirmed on Telegram by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who said warehouses storing ammunition, including powerful glide bombs, were hit and that "information regarding the destruction of air-defense equipment and enemy aviation is being clarified."

    It’s the Ukrainians’ turn to bomb Russian positions into rubble. Hundreds of Russian troops are surrounded in a chemical plant in Vovchansk, the main battleground in Russia’s northern offensive. At least 30 of the Russians surrendered over the weekend. The others have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. And now the Ukrainian air force has taken aim at them—with precision glide bombs.

    Kyiv’s forces are due to receive the aircraft within weeks, but analysts say they are unlikely to be a game-changer.

    Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had managed to breach through defensive lines in places south of Orikhiv, a town around 6 miles north of Roboytne. It is a sign Kyiv has decided to commit thousands of well-trained troops, previously held back in anticipation for a breakthrough, to the assault.

    it was fun Reddit but it's o er

    Ya know what? I'm really enjoying Lemmy. The Fediverse is (at present) smaller than Reddit but feels welcoming and at the same time much more "exclusive" (?). It's just that you have to make the effort to join the Fediverse.. ..and I'm not going back. I'm getting as much out of Lemmy as I was getting from RIF but it's somehow much more fun. Cya Reddit it was fun but it's over.
