Whenever I hear the “Harris is the DEI candidate”, and you will too, I’m going to use this quote from Dana Milbank: “Right. Vance, who has served 19 months in the Senate after writing a book and briefly dabbling as a venture capitalist, was picked by Trump on the merits. But Harris, who spent decades as a prosecutor, district attorney, attorney general and senator, became vice president because of diversity, equity and inclusion.”#uspoli #Election2024

I think the only appropriate response is "Lol, can you imagine embarrassing yourself by saying something that dumb?"

Coming back at them with logic makes it sound like there's a debate to be had, like the premise of their statement is something to consider seriously. It's nothing but pathetic racism and any response should treat it as such.
PB Livin' mastodon (AP)
*Put another way: Everyone, left right and middle, knows "DEI hire" isn't saying "she's not qualified", it's saying "she's black".

Answering that with "she's definitely qualified" is missing the point and following their misdirection.

Anyone in their right mind knows she's got a long professional track record.

So point out how dumb it is that anyone would question that. Don't take their point as something to debate, just flat out say how dumb you'd have to be to question that

Dear fedi, who is this Unknown Bird! On a rock! Doesn't look like a common gull to me, but I could be wrong?

[Update: it is most likely a juvenile herring gull. Thanks everybody for the learning!]

Spotted yesterday on the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan. #birdCallOut #nameThatBird
Bird standing on a rock above water. 

Bird has a whitish head, mixed grayish-brown and white wings & body with dark gray tail feathers, a black beak and pinkish webbed feet.

We have one of those units in our server room to keep it 50 F in that room at all times.

That AC lasted 2 years, and now it's CONSTANTLY SCREAMING just to operate.

KARMIC STREAM #poem

Ripples
along a lazy stream of time
crossing whirlwind space.
Rippling into etched contours,
teasing tricks of mind.
Expecting miracles.
One day precedes the next.
Reflective pooling, a
faultless, serene slip of spring.
Next I know I am hauling logs
through winter
cold, ice-tinged hands and toes
dripping nose,
exhausted, wilting.
Life brings no promises.
None to hold them to.
There are no changelings of the night;
not even prescient aliens to awe us.
There is energy.
There is form.
There is shadow bleeding
into substance.
There is here and now receding
into there and then.
There are the promises we keep
never knowing we have made them.
Ripples
shining in the sun
colours of a thousand worlds’ rainbows.
Ripples quietly expressing,
infinitely regressing,
first cause
last effect.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

As the Olympics start in Paris, we are highlighting the almost 500 Ukrainian athletes who won’t be able to watch them.

Athletes like Ivan, a soccer player, killed in Kharkiv after going back to help his employees.

Nataliya Skakun, a former Olympic weightlifter, stopped talking mid-sentence, abruptly looking up at a spot in the sky not visible over our video call.

“Hang on,” she said with her neck craned back, “I just saw a missile.”

But he drew attention to the 487 Ukrainian athletes who have been killed due to the war.

Cars are burdens.

You have to pay a lot to keep them going, and also you have to work at driving them because nobody else seems to be trying very hard.

Trump hates being out of the limelight and is a master media manipultor. Harris has captured the nation's attention and it's driving him crazy. His outrageous comments yesterday about ending voting where calculated to grab back attention. He wants people parsing his words, so long as they are talking about him. And, of course like always, he leaves just enough ambiguity to wriggle out of the obvious interpretation. Believe him. If elected he will end democracy. Harris will protect our freedom.

„Menschen, die gar nichts mit dem ÖPNV am Hut haben, sollen zur Kasse gebeten werden“

Baden-Württembergs grün-schwarze Regierung will für den Klimaschutz die Nutzung öffentlicher Verkehrsmittel forcieren: Kreise und manche Städte können eine „Mobilitätsabgabe“ erheben – wenn sie wollen, nur von Autofahrern. Die Kritik reicht von „Zwangsabgabe“ bis zum „zahnlosen grünen Bettvorleger“.

Was für eine Logik in der Überschrift.

Ich werde doch auch z.B. für Schulen zur Kasse gebeten (mit meinen Steuern) obwohl ich mit Schulen gar nichs am Hut habe.

Wenn wir nur noch für das zahlen, was wir jeweils selbst brauchen, dann bleibt von der Gesellschaft nicht mehr viel übrig.

Gibt es eigentlich eine Karte wo man sehen kann wo (in Mitteleuropa) man seinen Lebensabend verbringen kann ohne Gefahr zu laufen dass es einem das Haus wegspült? Berge ist doof, wegen Unwettern, Küste wegen Meeresspiegel.
In der Klimakatastrophe gibt es keine sicheren Orte.

Dort wo sie Dich nicht direkt bedroht sind Nahrungsversorgung und Energieversorgung schwierig. Es ist eine planetare Krise die die Grundlagen unser aller Existenz bedroht.

Das ist ja dieselbe Fehleinschätzung der ganzen Milliardäre mit ihren Bunkern. Es egal wie reich Du bist, wir sind mit 3 ppm mehr pro Jahr auf einem +4 Grad Kurs, also 99% Mortalität.

@fasnix @better_tomorrow @isotopp Schau Dir an, wie es aktuell mit alten Fabriken, verlassenen Häusern usw. läuft, z.B. in den neuen Bundesländern. Die werden sich selbst überlassen, teils zu großflächigen Lost Places, direkt daneben baut man den neuen Kram. An der Ostseeküste verfallen alte DDR-Ferienobjekte und direkt daneben stehen Neubauten.

This is pure cartel behavior: Reddit and Google have cut a deal that will freeze out all other search engines from indexing Reddit, where volunteers do essentially all the work.

This should not be legal.

It is VITAL to replace Reddit, and it will take a global village to do it. If we don't, the cartel wins.

And Google should be broken up by Congress, if the antitrust people won't try.

So gross. I'm glad #JDVance is dragging #Trump down in the polls (or poles, if you’re using TrumpSpeak). Combine that with the flood of support for #Harris which will continue to shift early polling in her favor and out of his, that we might just see a statistical landslide in November. More peeps need to see and hear what these people are saying out loud, the lies they are telling, and more importantly, the truths they are telling. #politics https://boingboing.net/2024/07/26/audio-of-jd-vance-being-racist-and-attacking-womens-rights.html

So, in case you weren't already doing all you can to support Democrats because you support Democracy, last night Trump told American Christians that if they all would vote for him in 2024 just this time they'll never have to vote again because he'll "fix it" so that they don't have to bother doing that again.

You may think that would harm his election chances in the world's oldest democracy, but that means you're unaware that the NY Times and WaPo entirely ignored that statement.
