So I’d been considering getting a used smart watch with fitness tracking stuff and audio controls (I listen to audio books at work but have to pause fairly frequently), what should I be looking for to keep my data away from the ghouls? I know about the PineTime, how ready for less techy consumers is that right now?

The US congresswoman in question is, of course, Ilhan Omar.

JUNE 13TH WOO! 🎂

I lived in that county for a bit, you forgot all of the poor conservatives that live in the swamps there too.

I’m glad it’s not a thing here because as a “positive” incentive I feel like it drives some users to vapid karma farming over actually interesting and new content. That said, I occasionally miss it when there’s some unpleasant commenter douchenozzeling all over a thread and it’s an easy way to see if someone is always an unpleasant ass or if they’re having a bad day and otherwise make valuable contributions to Lemmy.

Yup. I live in Minneapolis, can I just stop paying federal taxes now?

Although 420698008 isn’t bad…

The appendix is a vestigial organ that doesn’t actually do anything in humans. (It might still fit the definition of vestigial, but it’s far from useless and we keep learning more about how valuable gut health is.)

I got some bad news about TJ Maxx…

We’re so fucked.

Following Bernie’s lead and doing town hall meetings in Republican districts, which is where all of these sound bites are coming from. And he’s not gaslighting us or sanewashing the actions of the GOP right now which is refreshing.

I’m not sure what else he could be doing right now tbh, he’s governor of Minnesota and we’re pretty gridlocked politically at the moment - nationally the only thing he’s got is being on that losing presidential ticket, his main motivation seems to be the Democrats winning elections to make people’s lives better even if he isn’t the presidential nominee in a few years.

No, that’s Florida.

This would also disenfranchise basically every trans person in the country, which isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Last I heard, trans people were having trouble getting any passport under the new administration.

Anybody got that gif from the Daily Show?

Might be helpful if the guy lost his phone at a party or something.

I saw the headline and wondered which onion flavored community it was posted in. Neither of them, yet.

I still can’t believe that happened, it’s just so WTF.

Which stadium does his current subscriber count fill now?

YOU JUST KILLED A KENNEDY!

The kids-for-cash judge is, imo, worse, and he also got pardoned.

I think the really nasty pardons here, by nature of how they were selected, just ended up being a further continuation of the two justice systems we have for the rich and the poor.
