Betteridge’s Law…
“Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.” It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older. It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.

SUVs have to be high on the list.
So there’s no chance that this threat could backfire? By the looks of the Israeli protest marches, not everyone in that country agrees with the current government’s heavy handed approach. Could this be a bluff?
Does anyone know if other unions work on these campuses? If so, how are they responding to these strikes? Some support from other unions would probably mean a lot right now.
Headlines are saying “yes”, as long as he’s not in jail on election day.
And maybe the wrong people learned more about how to manipulate others.
Yeah, sometimes (most times?) that’s what happens when you hate.
De Niro, who has been a frequent critic of Trump through the years, had been scheduled to receive the NAB award, its highest individual honor, “in recognition of charitable work and public service.”
“I don’t mean to scare you. No no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss away these freedoms that we take for granted, and elections, forget about it … He will never leave,” De Niro said.
'Seems like De Niro is still doing public service with these comments though.
Some other Lemmy commenter suggested community service instead of jail time.
There’s something very appealing about the prospect of Trump, in a high-vis vest, picking up trash along the side of the freeway.
Workers assembling computer-driven robots and flow-forming machines at a new General Dynamics artillery ammunition factory in Mesquite…
…and…
Here, in the Pentagon’s first new major arms plant built since Russia invaded Ukraine…
So the NYT doesn’t even try to pretend that General Dynamics and the Pentagon are not the same entity.
This sounds significant. Is it significant?
And we’re learning how to frugal better, therefore buying less in the future too. I do not feel sorry for the shareholders.
In the US the only source of leaded gasoline that I’m aware of is aviation gas. Lots of (all?) older piston-driven airplanes use it.

My spirit animals.
Yeah, and even that’s stretching the term “conscious”.
Since most of the hydrogen currently available commercially is from oil production, maybe “eco-greenwashing” would be more accurate.
So stealing land, committing genocide and syphoning a huge amount of dollars for military support (leaving other programs unfunded), isn’t enough. But a heavy handed influence of our elections gets their attention?
