Just a thought but has anybody checked out the owner of the second largest inflatable planetarium?

Thanks, Forbes. I feel dumber for having read this. Why would I care what a bunch of illegal gamblers and nonvoting crypto-bros think about the election?

It's easy to forget that Iran is in close communication with organizations it funds, including Hamas and Hezbollah. How much do they signal to these organizations their readiness for war with Israel? I'd like to know if Hamas leaders had any indication a year ago that it would be a good time to carry out the deadliest ground invasion of Israel in its history.

Iran has been chasing nuclear capability for decades and now they suddenly achieve it?

Yes, technically - it is essentially the organic continuation of the project

Maybe, but I don't know that making sure you're not visibly Jewish is really a sign of anything good.

Hi folks, a new beta has been release today! It contains some updates to the "App information" dialog (e.g. the link to the new Matrix room) and a fix for the selection of the feed type in the home screen, which incorrectly opened the instance selection.

I'm continuing the migration of all bottom sheets to Material 3 modal bottom sheets, there are just 9 left for the refactoring to be complete.

Thanks to everyone for continuing using the app, have a nice weekend and remember #livefasteattrash 🦝🦝🦝

A cafe owner in Oakland, California kicked out a man for wearing a Star of David emblazoned on his baseball hat this past weekend, arguing that the religious symbol possesses a “violent” connotation and identifies him as a “Zionist.”

In a video posted on social media, Jonathan Hirsch, who is Jewish, was angrily confronted and asked to leave the Jerusalem Coffee House on the afternoon of Oct. 26 because of his hat. Hirsch and the cafe owner, Abdulrahim Harara, engaged in a heated exchange of words, in which the Jewish man accused the venue of practicing unlawful discrimination.

Hate crime and terrorism charges were announced Thursday after a Jewish man was shot while walking to synagogue in Chicago over the weekend in what police now say was a “targeted” attack.

Police had earlier this week announced multiple charges against 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, who originally faced six counts of attempted first-degree murder and seven for aggravated discharge of a firearm at officers and firefighters, among other charges.

On Thursday, Abdallahi was charged with an additional felony count of terrorism and one felony count of a hate crime, Chicago’s top cop, Supt. Larry Snelling, said.

“We want everybody to know that we will never tolerate violence that’s rooted in hate and bigotry,” Snelling said during a press conference announcing the charges.

Four Thai nationals were killed and one was injured in northern Israel by rocket fire from the terrorist group Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon, Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa said on Friday.

“I am deeply saddened to learn about the four Thais killed and one injured from rocket fire close to the town of Metula near the Israeli-Lebanese border,” Maris wrote on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. “I instructed our Embassy in Tel Aviv last night to extend every and all assistance to the injured and families of the deceased, and extend my profound condolences to them for their immense loss.”

On Thursday, rocket barrages from Iran-backed Hezbollah into northern Israel killed seven people and wounded several more.

If you're sober you should absolutely agree to the breathalyzer and the blood test.

It's the field tests that are bogus.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 80 points 1 day ago

Field sobriety tests are about as accurate as Tarot readings.

In most jurisdictions, the police can arrest you for refusing. Some experts say that if you're sober, it's better to refuse and be arrested, and then find it in court.

Sharing Proton Docs (lemmy.world)

Is it possible to share a proton doc to someone without an account?

According to this help page, there should be a public link creator. When I open the dialog this option does not appear.

Am I missing something, or is this possibly related to the fact that the document was created in proton?

What an extremely normal thing to say

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Hate crimes, by definition, are not an attack only against an individual, but cause deliberate harm to an entire community.

The crime is different, so they're treated differently, of course. We also have different degrees of murder depending on the person's motivation.

Researchers at New York University have concluded that social media is not an accurate reflection of society, but more like a funhouse mirror distorted by a small but vocal minority of extreme outliers. It's a finding that has special resonance this election season. John Yang speaks with psychology professor Jay Van Bavel, one of the authors of the paper that reported the research, to learn more.

Despite the impression that money laundering mainly occurs in small, landlocked European states or islands covered in palm trees, in reality, the U.S. political and economic system is remarkably open for the practice. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in December 2021 that “the best place to hide and launder ill-gotten gains is actually the United States,” and these words have been repeated by her and other Treasury Department officials in various forms ever since.

At the rally, Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said he presided over the securest border in American history (he didn’t), that the Federal Emergency Management Agency didn’t deliver hurricane relief because the government spent its money bringing immigrants into the country illegally (it didn’t) and that foreign nations were emptying their prisons and sending convicts to the United States (they’re not).
