politics @lemmy.world•Professor Reinstated After Being Fired For Charlie Kirk PostEnglish
661·19 days ago“APSU did not follow the required termination process in this matter, and I deeply regret and apologize for the impact this has had on Professor Michael and on our campus community,” the university president said. “I am committed to ensuring that due process and fairness are upheld in all future actions.”
Kind of a hollow apology from the school president. “Sorry we didn’t follow the require termination process.” No apologies for trying to repress free speech. No apologies for over reacting when the professor posted a quote and nothing else. No apologies for trying to curry favor with an authoritarian regime by falling in line like a good little boy. Seriously, fuck that guy.

politics @lemmy.world•Minnesota Hilton cancels ICE agents’ hotel reservationsEnglish
7·19 days agoIn a statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the brand’s hotels “serve as welcoming places for all” and that the hotel that canceled the reservations was independently owned and operated. The cancellations “are not reflective of Hilton values”, the spokesperson said.
I see the problem here. This particular hotel realized that being tolerant and welcome to all means that you have to not tolerate intolerance. Hilton corporate misunderstood this as the Paradox of Tolerance and wrongfully assumed they needed to tolerate these pieces of shit.
Had they understood that tolerance is a social contract and need not be applied to those who didn’t follow it, this whole mistake could have been avoided.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much spaceEnglish
23·19 days agoGrowing up, my dad used to download a lot of games off BBSes for me and my brother. He would save them on 3.5 floppies and then label what game was on each one. I’ve got fond memories of flipping through his box of floppies seeing what new games he had for us to play.
a large is just Too Many Chips.
I’ve yet to encounter such a phenomenon.

politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was ‘naive’ for believing Trump is man of the peopleEnglish
53·27 days agoGreen said that her turn away from unrepentant Maga acolyte came in that moment and she abandoned her training “to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong”.
I’m sorry, are we all just glossing over the casual mention that there’s MAGA training to never apologize or admit you’re wrong? I assumed this was their unofficial playbook, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of an actual training being mentioned.

politics @lemmy.world•Rand Paul says partial release of Epstein files ‘big mistake’ for Trump administrationEnglish
18·19 days agoYeah exactly. The only reason they would choose to heavily react the files and refuse to release others is because the contents of those files is absolutely devastating to Trump. Paul acts like they’re just accidentally covering this up.

politics @lemmy.world•In Blow to Trump, Indiana Rejects GOP GerrymanderEnglish
76·2 months agoJesus the quotes in this article are a real bleak loom into how fucked we are as a country:
“Some will say these maps are political. Let me be clear,” Sen. Chris Garten ®, another backer, said as he slapped the lectern. “You’re God damn right they are!”
and also:
“President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state,” Heritage Action wrote on X. “Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.”
In a sane world, this would be a no brainer and he would actually be put on trial for murder. Alas, that is not this world. I doubt Hegseth with face any serious consequences.

7·2 months ago“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice,” said Kathleen Engel, a Suffolk University law professor and leading expert on mortgage finance. “Trump has deemed that this type of misrepresentation is sufficient to preclude someone from serving the country.”
That’s it boys, we finally got him. He’s going to need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice. Also, I’ve got this bridge to sell you…
