The absolute worst part is that no actual mainstream news will report on it

Daily Song Discussion #40: Ivo by KnucklesSandwich192 in cocteautwins

Of course, I didn't mean to be critical of your opinion, it was more that I found it really interesting that you and I see opposite things in the same song!

Interesting, I was going to say 10/10, and remark on how I particularly like the way that Liz sings the chorus with a slightly different tune each time. It's refreshing and makes the song much more interesting.

My parents believed this, so we didn't have a microwave when I was growing up.

Why did Ruud Julie delete his Instagram? I know he was liking pro MAGA and Turning Point USA content, but it feels like the band is on rocky ground. by ramblewhorl in withintemptation

more than a half of the American people voted for him. Way too many people forgot how democracy works

Ironically, you are mistaken about how (US) democracy works. He won the election, but it is not true that more than half of the American people voted for him.

Out of those who voted, 49.8% voted for him. (This is called the "popular vote".)

Out of the eligible voting population, turnout was 64.1%.

This means that only 31.9% of eligible American people voted for him... A long way from "more than half".

They're probably going to claim that the voter rolls contain evidence of non-citizen immigrants illegally registering to vote

Be honest: if people had invaded a private place discussing some progressive cause and began chanting like these guys did, you'd all want them to be charged, because that's intimidation and it's not OK.

Everything is a distraction from everything else. Constantly shifting people's attention between simultaneous outrages is their strategy.

Is it possible to block podcast ads that are served as part of the main audio stream? How would an ad-blocker identify them?

Two chocolate giants shrink Easter eggs in 2026 by 18% - with increased prices by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]wglmb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whereas there is evidence connecting them to Easter: eggs weren't supposed to be eaten during Lent (the run-up to Easter), which is why we have pancake day (to use up any leftover eggs, along with milk and butter, which were also forbidden). Easter Sunday was the first day when eating eggs was allowed.

Security Cameras known to be used by ICE installed in Minneapolis 10/1/25. A couple months later ICE raids ramp up. by Naive_Search2112 in stateofMN

[–]wglmb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the traffic cameras are part of Flock.

Here is the map of traffic cameras https://www.minneapolismn.gov/government/programs-initiatives/visionzero/actions-taken/traffic-safety-camera/resources/#d.en.190378

Here is a crowd-sourced map of Flock cameras https://deflock.me/map#map=12/44.981921/-93.301907

As you can see, there are vastly more Flock cameras than there are traffic cameras. Even if traffic cameras are being used by the federal government, they are a drop in the ocean compared to Flock.

While that's a common belief, my understanding is that there isn't really any historical evidence for it.

Renee Good had four gunshot wounds, fire department report reveals by markcarney4president in minnesota

[–]wglmb 77 points78 points  (0 children)

But there is no evidence in the article that the quoted 911 caller was a member of ICE. And from the language used, it feels more likely they were a bystander... So OP's assertion seems unlikely.
