Nukes the supreme court

Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

The title reminds me of my silliest Reddit ban. I was banned for suggesting that Clarence Thomas be crushed by a sea mine.

I was banned for saying riot police should quit their jobs after RvW

You should have claimed typo, meaning to have typed "mime"

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Liz Cheney TREATS Supreme Court TO A SURF 'N' TURF DINNER AND KARAOKE AFTERWARDS FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY

[-] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

Liz, noooo!

Ugh it seems like it. The article is also listed under the “five-alarm fire” category, which no, it’s not that. I hate all these meaningless buzzy words.

It’s basically “Five-alarm fire after Liz Cheney nukes the Supreme Court.” But, like, why?? Why the hell use words that don’t mean what they say? Especially when the actual meanings of those words are so specific and extreme?

I nuked some frozen veggies last night. Maybe they mean, she warmed the SCOTUS in the microwave.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I hate it. It's like "literally."

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Literally "literally", smh

I wish it was just hyperbole. I mean, a low. Up scotus could stop a lot of the bullshit,

(Okay I don’t actually wish it, but still . I don’t think these idiots like Thomas and Barrett understand just how vile they are and how close they are to being illegitimate.)

You can't escalate headlines so quickly or you'll run out of click bait words too fast.

What will the poor editors be stuck with in 10 years? "Trump DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THINGS GOOD with a tweet about farting on a Democrat."

[-] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

There’s still a lot we don’t know about what Trump did on January 6. And the Supreme Court may prevent us from ever knowing it.

Nothing stopping an official/politician who knows from holding a press conference though (assuming it's not classified).

gasp Now I want to start adding Creative Commons sigs to all of my posts, too! The links will quickly becoming annoying, but I can just reuse an uploaded pic - some fonts actually have included the Creative Commons code space (1F10D-1F10F, 1F16D-1F16F, but it's not reliable yet unless you can control the display font like in web or a applications.

Unicode glyphs: 🅭 🅯 ⭵ ⭴
HTML encoded: 🅭 🅮 🄏 🄎
Image:

Edit: bummer on the glyphs; they don't show up in my client, and changing fonts on Android is stupid hard. Gonna have to resize that image, too; it sort of dominates everything.

Okay, I'll bite. Why would the link be annoying, but the pic wouldn't?

IMO the pic is much more in your face.

Only because my first pass was huge! If I can tune it down, it'll be less obtrusive. Part of this is the client, though. Hyperlinks in Voyager are duplicated as a big, ugly list at the end of every post containing them.

E.g.

~~Dammit! I halved the size, but it's worse. I'll get it right, eventually.~~

Hah! Getting there. Maybe if I move it off to the right...

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Nukes? I've headlight editors giving up on slams? Skipped eviscerated and went straight to nuked huh?
