absentbird@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS1·1 hour agoYeah, they should have. Congress ended up doing the opposite, forcing him to continue funding. Democrats don’t have nearly the party unity that Republicans do around immigration, I think that’s why it keeps being leveraged as a wedge issue.
absentbird@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS2·21 hours agoI thought you were saying they were ineffective at enacting their agenda because they didn’t use rescission packages.
If we’re talking about what you just said I have no quarrel.
absentbird@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS4·1 day agoI’m with you there but you could not have got even a simple majority of elected representatives to agree to that. It would have to be something that Democrats broadly support.
absentbird@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS13·1 day agoWell a rescission package can only be used to cut spending, so it couldn’t have been used by the Democrats to pass new spending.
What do you think they should have used it to cut?

I thought 98 < 100

It’s an investigation with interviews and reporters. They have quotes from government officials and everything. It’s not like The Intercept is an AI mill, they aren’t even the only paper doing journalism on this story:

absentbird@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL The ancient Romans created an artificial sweetener called "Sugar of Lead" by corroding lead in vinegar. It has a mildly sweet taste and also causes brain damageEnglish5·16 days agoWhen lead combines with acid it creates lead acetate which interacts with the sugar receptors in the mouth. I’m not sure why, I think the molecules just happen to have a similar shape.
EDIT: after looking at the molecule for lead acetate, it appears to resemble two simple carbohydrates connected by an atom of lead, so I’d imagine the receptor sees the outside and assumes it’s something sweet.
absentbird@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books.1·18 days agoI don’t understand how that’s blame, it’s a natural outcome. If I said ‘carrying a nestle water bottle has the effect of promoting the brand, even if you didn’t pay for it’ that doesn’t mean I’m blaming people for drinking water, it’s just an observation about the power of branding.

I have plans for after she dies, but as long as she can draw a profit form the brand I would personally rather boycott it.
Same, it was a good instance.
Even in 850 BCE they were genociding the Canaanites.
