Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Florida lawmakers sound alarm over plans ‘to send pregnant women & children’ to ‘Alligator Alcatraz’101·2 days agoI think you’re the one who needs to work on your reading comprehension. The
airquotes around “okay” clearly indicate that they think it is NOT okay.
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Disaster declarations issued through central Texas as heavy rains produce ‘catastrophic flooding’111·4 days agoAn ark is a boat, an arc is a curve
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Calls Mamdani a 'Communist Lunatic' After NYC Primary Upset3·10 days agoAh, he’s been alive longer than the USSR lasted, not that he’s been alive since before it was founded.
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Calls Mamdani a 'Communist Lunatic' After NYC Primary Upset7·11 days agoTrump is older than the USSR? Wouldn’t that make him like 103?
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Justices side with Texas death row inmate seeking DNA testing to show he shouldn’t be executed16·11 days agoI was really curious who the third would be and I didn’t see it in the article, so I found the opinion and here’s the full list:
- Sotomayor wrote the majority option
- Barrett wrote a concurring opinion
- Alito dissented with Gorsuch
- Thomas separately dissented (and starts the dissent by agreeing with Alito, so he just wanted to be even more of a douche)
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Iran is claiming to have helped stop a false flag attackEnglish3·11 days agoQatar is definitely my guess. They’re one of the few nations that are friendly with both Iran and the US.
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A 2020 law banning plastic bags in Vermont has nearly eliminated their use in the state171·13 days agoIf I could remember to put reusable bags in my car, I would. I’d bring them into the store if I remembered too…
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Supreme Court lets Trump administration resume deportations of immigrants to countries other than their own34·15 days agoThe most straightforward one is from Leviticus (one of the books that has a bunch of laws for the Israelites, including stuff like “don’t wear mixed fabrics” and rules that evolved into kosher rules, along with stuff that’s cited for “don’t be gay” (though a lot of that comes from Paul’s letters too)):
Lev 19:33-34 “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Hammerhead shark falls from sky onto disc golf course in South Carolina271·17 days agoThe article literally says they saw an osprey carrying the (baby) shark.
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Rodney Scott confirmed as head of CBP by US Senate despite ‘cover-up’ claim22·19 days agoScott was confirmed on a party-line vote, with 51 Republicans in favor and 46 Democrats opposed, along with three absences.
Literally no Democrats voted for him…
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•BREAKING: Tucker Carlson Blasts Trump as ‘Complicit’ in Iran Strikes as He Posts ‘Final Newsletter Before All-Out War’31·24 days agoIt’s ambiguous but I did not interpret it as Trump posting the newsletter.

Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Is Getting Rid of His Tesla After Musk Broke His Heart112·1 month agoHe’s literally not allowed to. Becoming president means you’re not allowed to drive (on regular roads) ever again, even after you leave office.

Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•The Tesla Cybertruck is no longer America's best-selling electric pickup4·2 months agoSo, I get that Henry Ford was an awful raging antisemite, but calling the Ford F-150 a “swasticar” feels incredibly disingenuous.
Henry Ford had obviously descended into antisemitic conspiracy theories before issuing his first publications on the matter, but those publications first started in 1920, a year after handing over the Ford Motor Company to his son. By the time the original F series truck was introduced in 1948, Henry Ford had been dead for a year.
Compare this to Elon Musk actively being involved with the design and production of the Cyber truck and giving a Nazi salute (twice) on stage while actively trying to sell his dream truck.
Trying to call both the F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck antisemitic feels like the equivalent of calling people protesting the genocide in Gaza antisemitic.
Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•‘I'm not thrilled’: Donald Trump reacts after receiving a drop of ‘highest quality oil’ during UAE visitEnglish36·2 months ago“The highest quality oil there is on the planet, and they only gave me a drop of it…so I’m not thrilled,” Trump joked.
This headline is such bad clickbait it’s basically misinformation.

Rekhyt@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•California is now the 4th largest economy in the world3·3 months agoNo, the US GDP is about $30T and China is second with about $20T. California GDP is just over $4T, so the US would probably need to lose several other states too before being overtaken by China, though those states would be a solid #3 over Germany, assuming they left as a bloc.
From the Passion narrative according to John (John 18)
Literally the exact same method that the Jewish religious authorities used to try to convince the Romans to execute Jesus because they weren’t allowed to execute people.
(Note: this is not meant to be antisemitic, just contextual, though the Jews’ role in the execution of Jesus has been and is still used to justify antisemitism)
