The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating a crash involving two Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Police Department vehicles on Saturday and injured "several" people.

 

179 people are dead after an airplane veered off a runway upon landing at an airport in South Korea on Sunday morning, according to local media.

 

Former President Jimmy Carter, best known as a champion of international human rights both during and after his tenure as the 39th president, has died at 100.

 
 

A decade before Airbnb persuaded homeowners to transform their homes into hotels, Netflix convinced its users to turn theirs into mini Netflix warehouses. Customers who held onto their DVDs for longer meant fewer shipping costs for Netflix, and fewer DVDs for the company to manage and store. Netflix tracked heavy users of its service — labeling them internally as “pigs” — and secretly throttled their deliveries. It didn’t matter if Netflix rented fewer DVDs than Blockbuster, because the company would keep collecting its monthly fee. The difference between Blockbuster and Netflix was this: Blockbuster punished customers for being forgetful; Netflix rewarded them for being mindless.

I love how triumphant this soundtrack is. This should be a treat.

Seems like the whole thing is in IMAX too, which would be cool.

Light?

Maybe it depends on which Fox News articles you read. They vary wildly from hard news to hard right punditry. I find most Post Millennial articles to be more biased on average, but a lot less sensational and editorial as well.

Nah it says you joined a day ago! Maybe you just switched accounts.

In any case, happy cake day!

Yeah! I was watching it and thinking "it's like a kid's movie for adults"

From what I gather, illegal immigrants are statistically no more likely to be violent than any other people

I haven't seen the data but this wouldn't shock me

Comments like these help reinforce the point about fear mongering over illegal immigrants in the right wing media, no?

How?

I've got one near me as well, it's Walmart

I guess they view themselves as being censored from Threads? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean, boo hoo, it's not like any of us are pretending that Meta supports free speech principles in practice...

There's no reason to use it. They're on the Fediverse, but federation doesn't work too well. It's somewhat inconsistent.

Sure they support free speech, but every free speech corner of the Fediverse runs on better software, and have more vibrant communities.

There's some sort of NFT or crypto thing but I don't think anyone uses it, I've never heard anyone praise or criticize it.

I used to be there, it's not nearly as bad as Gab or Truth Social. Very cringey, but more like QuodVerum or Brighteon than those other sites.

It'd be higher pay than what they're already getting.

But I have no problem with those workers no matter what their jobs are (I think it'd be a lil racist if I were to say that the only jobs these people are good for is picking crops). My issue is with the violent ones. I'd like to see a pathway to citizenship for otherwise law abiding illegals and deportations for the rest.

Fascinating! I had no idea.

I used to support deporting all illegals until very recently. The Democrats have a point about going door-to-door being unfeasible and expensive. Where I'm at now, I'd like to see a two-year grace period for illegals to take advantage of a path to citizen ship, and if they begin that process, they're immune from deportation. During that period, illegals who commit crimes and are convicted of them would be deported. Afterwards, illegals would be deported on an as-noticed basis.

Illegal immigration is a problem, but if an illegal immigrant is being violent, we'll notice, and if they're not, there's no real urgency in deporting them.
