You know what else your mom spreads?

Jam on guests’ toast in the morning, because she’s a thoughtful and welcoming host.

Maybe we can make Lemmy a place where mom jokes are always wholesome (like your mom)

You probably don’t want to go to the countries that won’t let you in with a Canadian passport.

Classic. The Monroe Doctrine exists to ensure only the US can meddle in the Americas.

That’s the most American rebuttal to this - too bad the Supreme Court is in Trump’s pocket.

Yes, I totally won’t be watching it either, because Paramount+ is definitely the only possible place to find it.

Inflation is arguably down mostly because of austerity measures which have not addressed any fundamental problems, only kicked them down the road.

Except, if we were to read the article, things are materially worse than when he took office:

Milei had predicted a V-like recovery with the creation of new jobs in a more prosperous and stable economy. Instead, the economy stalled out, declining in the second quarter compared with the previous three months. Unemployment is at 7.6%, up from 5.7% when Milei took office. And Argentina has about 200,000 fewer jobs since he took office, government data shows.

I wonder if this ties into our general disposability culture (throwing things away instead of repairing, etc)

Broken clock, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Proclamation_of_1763

[Historians] have argued that colonial resentment of the proclamation contributed to the growing divide between the colonies and the mother country. Some historians say that even though the boundary was pushed west in subsequent treaties, the British government refused to permit new colonial settlements for fear of instigating a war with Native Americans, which angered colonial land speculators.

I like the way you’ve framed it here… Consider me won over.

I’m fully on board with a publication about queer issues, I just don’t think this is a queer issue. It wouldn’t make sense for “Guns, Guns, Guns” magazine to have an article “Journalist (who happens to also be a gun owner in their private life) charged with hate crime for coverage of NYT vandalism”.

Fair enough, but then I’m wondering what’s the point of Advocate. I’d assume it’s “news that relates to being queer”, not “regular news that happens to involve queer people”. Something like “Random lesbian is victim of parking lot fender-bender” doesn’t make sense to me.

Literally never killed a king in their history. The closest they got was killing aboriginal chieftains. Muricans just got salty because the King of England refused to let them colonize the native tribes in the great lakes region (which the crown had declared a self-governing protectorate). Americans declared a revolution and cloaked it in jingoistic hoopla about liberty. They also tried (and failed) to enlist Quebec to join them.

Yes I get that, but their queerness is as immaterial to this issue as them being left-handed or the colour of their eyes.

What does queerness have to do with this?

Eh, she’ll probably just be Abe 2.0, but without the exhortations for people to fuck more.

David Ellison, for anyone wondering, is indeed the son of the MAGA billionaire and second-richest man in the world, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
