I mean in that particular example it’s specifically a limit that was put on our democracy. Which is to say, make sure your state joins the national popular vote compact if they haven’t already:

Heck, right now, in this same Lemmy: https://lemmy.world/post/14467149

All about how Biden’s administration is expanding the Federal TItle IX protections:

The Biden administration on Friday will announce changes to Title IX, expanding protections for LGBTQ+ and pregnant students while overhauling controversial Trump-era guidance around how schools handled sexual assault cases.

And here people are acting like they do nothing.

Did we magically become a far left utopia? Of course fucking not. But Biden has been far more effective and progressive than I ever expected of him having grown up watching him. Does everything take far longer than it should? Yep, welcome to politics where one side is trying to tear down everything (quite literally) as it’s being built. Are things as progressive as I’d like? No of course not, but they’re frequently more progressive than I expected. That’s the unfortunate truth of how things get done.

And for all the people who are basically saying “I voted once and all my dreams failed to come true”, welcome to your civic duty. Vote the best way you can every election, especially local ones, and realize you’re trying to guide things through your entire lifetime not just 4 years and done.

Machine learning tool used by people too lazy to do their actual job accuses everyone else of using machine learning tools.

Sounds like a great reason to re-nationalize the public utility companies.

Because why should self proclaimed billionaires face consequences for their actions and statements. /sigh

Fuck that. Give me money, I can handle my own emotional business in my own time if I’m not stressed about bills.

I would rather they fund NASA to the fullest, and nationalize SpaceX under them.

The only movie I’ve seen in theaters in the past couple of years has been Dune 2. The only movie I plan to see in theaters in the future is Dune 3 if/when it gets made.

Otherwise I’m not sure there’s any movies on anyone’s docket that won’t be far more fun watching from my couch.
