The ex-president praised the Supreme Court’s devastating decisions during a summit for Moms for Liberty — a right-wing, anti-government group — on Friday

Watching the wanna be fascists turn on each other is my new favorite hobby. It's like watching two teams you hate play each other and thinking, is there a way they can both lose?

 

The former president traveled to Philadelphia on Friday to speak at the conservative "Joyful Warriors National Summit."

ELI5: when electricity moves, it creates an area around it that pushes on things nearby, and that makes those things move. Some things are more sensitive to that electric force than others, which is called magnetism. It's an invisible force though, just like how you can't see gravity. When something that is magnetic is near electricity, they react to each other and that causes things to move, or glow, or heat up, and other stuff.

Beyond 5:

Most people have electricity explained using the water analogy. That is that electrons flowing through a wire are analogous to water flowing through a pipe. More conductive or larger wires are like having a bigger pipe. More flow equals more electricity, which equals more power.

This isn't quite right. The flow of electrons doesn't create any power. The flow of charged particles creates electromagnetic fields. These fields result in a physical force on objects that are responsive to those fields. Think of it like gravity. Gravitational fields affect matter with mass, and electromagnetic fields affect matter through an inherent magnetic quality. So, the electrons don't actually push on anything, they create an electromagnetic field, and that creates a physical force.

Veritasium does a pretty good job of explain these in better detail with these two videos. Tiny Magnet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFAOXdXZ5TM&ab_channel=minutephysics) & Electricity Misconception (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHIhgxav9LY&ab_channel=Veritasium)

 

The chief justice doesn’t like his conservative Supreme Court colleagues getting called out for judicial overreach.

 

The Supreme Court just blocked a debt forgiveness policy that helped tens of millions of Americans.

 

The Crown Act will ban discrimination based on hair texture and protective hairstyles, including Afros, cornrows and dreadlocks.

Continuing to prove that the cruelty is the point.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy dashed off a fundraising email decrying the “witch hunt” against the former president and urging donors to sign up and “stand with Trump.”

 

Moments after Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he hoarded classified documents and then conspired to obstruct an investigation about it, the Republicans in Congress had his back. Trump's mounting legal jeopardy has quickly become a political rallying cry as they rush to stand by the indicted former president. Many Republicans say they haven't fully read the 49-page indictment against Trump. But they are adopting his grievances against the federal justice system as their own. It’s an example of how Trump has transformed the Republican Party that was once the party of “law and order,” but is now attacking the very justice system at the foundation of U.S. democracy.

I've picked a few mags and tried to post something daily. The way I see it, and the thought that inspired this post, was that if there's 50 people subscribed to a mag, and everyone posts two links or articles a day, that's 100 new things to comment on every day.

So, 5-10 minutes of effort to find or think up new content, then you have a bunch of new stuff to comment on / lurk.

 

Reddit was great, but not because of third party apps, not because of quality moderators, not because of the development or corporate oversight ... Reddit was great because of the content. Everything else was how that content was handled to create a great user experience. If there's no content to handle, there's no Reddit.

So, if Kbin is going to work and take off, it needs content to handle. Content for moderators to moderate, apps to display, developers to create for. I basically just lurked on Reddit for the past 5 years because there was plenty of content and I didn't need to contribute, but if Kbin is going to succeed, those who want a change need to contribute.

And by that I mean more than just coming to /m/RedditMigration to morn or grieve or track what Reddit is doing. Find that magazine that you want to flourish and contribute (even if it means reposting from Reddit). Give everyone who is visiting and trying things out a reason to stay and comment.

 

‘Having read the indictment, these are very serious allegations,’ Mr Pence told The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board on Tuesday

“This is the Thug, overturned consistently and unanimously in big cases, that Biden and his CORRUPT Injustice Department stuck on me. He’s a Radical Right Lunatic and Trump Hater, as are all his friends and family, who probably ‘planted’ information in the ‘boxes’ given to them. They taint everything that they touch, including our Country, which is rapidly going to HELL!” Mr Trump wrote on Tuesday morning.
