Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto politics@hexbear.net•Attorney General Pam Bondi says Trump prevented 258 million Americans from dying since inauguration by seizing fentanyl at the US borderEnglish1·6 hours agoWere they calculating 12mg as, like, LD99, or…?
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•'We've killed so many children — it's hard to argue with that'English7·8 hours agoNothing says racism quite like siding with the bloodsoaked European settler who claims to be sad while building their new home directly on top of warm-in-the-ground Arab children.

Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•Bulletins and News Discussion from April 28th to May 4th, 2025 - Competent Fascism? - COTW: El SalvadorEnglish8·11 hours agoThe problem is that leftists get shut down (by libs and radlibs, but often even by other leftists) if they say things that are mean or rude, even if they’re also true. As a result, there aren’t any in-your-face, never-back-down leftists in the spotlight.
Good example is Roger Hallam.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•Bulletins and News Discussion from April 28th to May 4th, 2025 - Competent Fascism? - COTW: El SalvadorEnglish8·11 hours agoNot just that. Incentivising anything other than successfully completing real objectives will distract soldiers and cause them to waste more time and take more risks. You can bet this will backfire catastrophically in the long term.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•Trump to rename Veterans Day as ‘Victory Day for World War I’ English8·12 hours ago…Great in size, like how the “great” white shark is so named because it’s the largest living predatory shark.
The League of Nations taking Finland’s side in the Winter War is a top example of how liberal “rules-based order” is a slippery slope to fascism.

Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•CIA published two videos seeking to recruit Chinese nationals as spiesEnglish11·1 day agoMy name is Si Lili and I am good at ingratiating myself to targets, while also talented at coordination and leadership. I absolutely would not under any circumstances give the names of other spies to the enemy, even if one of them was really really smart and handsome. Please let me know if I can help.
Don’t forget that SteamOS is now coming to other handheld gaming PCs, too.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•World’s Top 111 Corporations Have Caused $28T in Climate Damages, Study FindsEnglish4·1 day agoNot quite. They’ll no longer be external when entire companies are held accountable for hundreds of thousands of counts of property damage, endangerment, poisoning, manslaughter, etc.
Until then, we’re still on their neolib bullshit.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independenceEnglish21·1 day agoFor business usage, it’s really just Debian and Red Hat as options, along with their derivatives. For personal use, add Arch to the list.
Other distros exist but people don’t generally need to worry about them, their stability or compatibility, etc. This includes developers as well as users.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto UK Politics@feddit.uk•The BBC is utterly beholden to the right. Why else would it fear a podcast about heat pumps? | George MonbiotEnglish3·2 days agoThe BBC are accused of bias “from both sides” because their job is to establish and defend the establishment’s preferred Overton window; or in other words, to set the standard for what “impartial”/“common sense” is held to be.
To the extent political beliefs are down to individual values and preferences, there is no objective centre, and moderacy amounts to a “golden mean” bias. On the other hand, to the extent political claims are able to be proven or disproven by science, at least one side must be wrong and only one can be right, and so the centre is simply ignorant.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•US and Ukraine sign mineral resources agreementEnglish7·2 days agoI could be badly wrong, but I imagine if the Ukraine’s resources are significant, China might discuss things with Russia behind the scenes and push for the offensive to continue. Both China and Russia need to start cutting at U.S. access to resources if they want an advantageous position in the next 10-20 years.
This depends on the extent of the actual resources and Russia’s current military-industrial capacity, manpower, and morale, though; but keep in mind that, from the Russian perspective, Zelenskyy has just sold off Russian natural resources to the Americans. There’s a lot of reason to not allow it.

Guards told them they would be taking showers to get them to go willingly and remove their clothes (easier than doing it after they’re dead).
Or so I’ve heard, anyway.
Eiren (she/her)@lemmygrad.mlto Palestine@lemmygrad.ml•The US Military that's entering Gaza to build a port thinks it is funny to play 'The Imperial March' from Star WarsEnglish5·2 days agoGoing to donate military drones to the Houthis but rig them to play The Force whenever they fire their weapons.

Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."English7·2 days agoIt would do if Trump told the truth about his height, but we know he’s not actually 6’3" now, due to certain photos, some of which are even full-body, in which he is shorter than Trudeau, Vance, etc.
He may have never been 6’3", and if he was actually only about 6’ to start, the Bin Laden photo makes sense.

It might (?) be reasonable until you remember you have to assume every person takes exactly 12mg at once and exactly none of them have someone with naloxone around.
