Which issue(s) do you want Harris/Walz to champion during Harris' presidency? (serious) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Nooooo SCOTUS can't have term limits or else they'll align with corporate backers to get a nice "consulting" job when their term is up. Now without term limits, they are immune to external influence, and rule fairly for the people. \s

Trump has been convicted, 34 times, actually. Will he go to prison is the question. If he does, I doubt he'd have a cellmate. He'll probably be in a Four Seasons version of prison.

Barron Trump has been 100% unmentioned especially by his father, who doesn't want to be seen next to him because Barron is taller.

Say you don't know how the US electoral college works without saying you don't know how the US electoral college works.

Donald Rumsfeld also holds the record for deflecting the most direct questions if he is a secretly a lizard person: https://youtu.be/qQ8L9OQZs1A

RFK Jr. expected to drop out of race by end of week, plans to endorse Trump: Sources in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago

Trump's going to abandon RFK Jr. when he's no longer useful, just like RFK Jr. did with the dead bear cub in Central Park.

Harris proposes raising the corporate tax rate to 28%, rolling back a Trump law in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

For an individual in 2024 to pay 28% of income in federal taxes, you'd have to make $500,000 according to this calculator.

Also reminder: If Republicans are accusing someone of something, it's because they're already doing that something.

FWIW, if all you have is a truly static website (html, css, and js), then GitHub Pages is free and you can point a custom domain there from your registrar, and don't have to worry about backups or server uptime.

About 10 years ago this happened to me at chase.com. IIRC they truncated at 30 characters at the time.

Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion (Spoilers) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers

  • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
  • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
  • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
  • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

What'd everyone else think?
