Nope:

Martha Stewart, the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, also became embroiled in the scandal after it emerged that her broker, Peter Bacanovic, tipped her off that ImClone was about to drop. In response, Stewart sold about $230,000 in ImClone shares on December 27, 2001, a day before the announcement of the FDA decision

Fuck Martha Stewart too

People don't realize that "insider trading" isn't fucking over a corporation, it's fucking over everyone that's invested and doesn't get the tip off.

People's retirement/pension and all types of other shit are tied up in random companies like this.

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn't need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

She's a psychopath.

Before the 2025 cuts....

The federal government had just recovered to the pre-Clinton levels. But trump still isn't going to come close to the reduction in force Clinton got.

And people still act like they don't know why trump was giving neoliberals money for decades

She's not an idiot, her father was almost certainly a spy and she's always said he was killed instead of a heart attack.

She knows as soon as she says what trump wants, he never wants her to say anything again. And there's only one way he can be sure she doesn't talk.

There's no "carrot" worth that, you only do it to avoid a worse negative consequence.

Trump's DOJ is 100% evil and corrupt enough to flat out say to her:

Either say what we want and take the easy way out, or say nothing and we make sure you live a long horrible life.

She's 63 and has like 20 more years, 83 on release.

After a couple years locked up and it sucking a normal amount, being told you can die "easy" or be in a much worse situation for 20 years....

I can see the motivation to agree.

Then it's not really on topic...

Nah, Teams is total shit.

I forget what it replaced, but it was basically AIM. 90s as hell, nothing ever happened unless you explicitly made it, and virtually never any connection issues.

Teams insisting on being tied to Outlook and then "breaking" each other constantly is not worth the limited functionality.

I can set a busy message on my own.

Just because it’s shared that doesn’t give you a right to desecration.

Well, I'd think an important metric would be "how much space is being set aside for a single religions holy sites".

For the moon, thats...

About 14,500,000 square miles.

For reference Asia is the largest continent at 17,300,000 and Africa is the second largest at about 11,000,000.

And that's not even getting into an absolute shit ton of other religions also worship some aspect of the moon and have the same "claim" to be able to say what happens. Or even to say that now that it's able to be done, they want their ashes to rest on their own most sacred site?

That's the point between a local small area and the freakin moon.

Exclusivity of "ownership".

Article highlights the ones who publicly say they're against genocide, but vote for it:

However, the number of “yes” votes is far fewer than the number of Senate Democrats who signed a letter to the Trump administration this week that urges officials to alleviate the starvation catastrophe in Gaza. The letter, signed by 40 senators, expresses alarm over starvation deaths and the “acute humanitarian crisis” in Gaza.

And yet, numerous senators who signed the letter, sent Tuesday, went on to vote “no” on action that would pressure Israel to end its near-total humanitarian aid blockade. This is despite the enormous leverage the U.S. holds over Israel as its largest foreign supplier of weapons.

Those who signed the letter but went on to vote “no” on both resolutions or who were absent included:

Senators Michael Bennet (Colorado), Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut), Cory Booker (New Jersey), Maria Cantwell (Washington), Catherine Cortez-Masto (Nevada), Chris Coons (Delaware), Ruben Gallego (Arizona), Kirsten Gillibrand (New York), Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), John Hickenlooper (Colorado), Mark Kelly (Arizona), Alex Padilla (California), Gary Peters (Michigan), Jacky Rosen (Nevada), Adam Schiff (California), Schumer, Slotkin, Mark Warner (Virginia), and Ron Wyden (Oregon).

It makes zero sense to bring back extinct species who have zero chance of surviving the current and future environment.

If anything we should be trying to adapt modern existing endangered animals so they can survive the coming decades.

 

They keep playing that clip of his caddy dropping a ball, and making fun of how he tried to do it slyly but it was obvious.

I just saw it again on Colbert, and I legitimately think the caddy is only trying to fool trump.

trump is 100% the guy to blame caddies if he fucks up, so the only caddies he likes are ones that can trick him into thinking he's great. No one he's playing with would ever call it out.

The only person they need to fool out there, is trump...

He legitimately might think he's really a generational golfer. For the same reason every billionaire legit thinks they're a genius.

 

Answer: lead. It's still lead and it's still fucking us all up.

Not just Americans, in all likelihood every single person reading this has been effected by lead. It's gonna take a very very long time before the effects become negligible.

 

Haven't watched it all yet because it's over 3 hours...

But Andrew is a really great interviewer, and like it or not Hunter was heavily involved in the last administration.

If mods feel this isn't political I can post it to /videos instead.

 

Justin Mohn reportedly described a struggle between himself and Michael Mohn when the younger man told his father that he was placing him under a "citizen's arrest."

According to the AP's reporting, Justin Mohn stated that his father told him he would kill him before he allowed him to do that, and a struggle ensued. Justin Mohn told the court, "Unfortunately, he resisted. I was hoping to perform a citizen's arrest on my father for, ultimately, treason."

Local news outlet WFMZ reported that Justin Mohn stated that he believed killing his father was legal under Pennsylvania law because he was defending himself while his father was resisting arrest.

 

From 4/24/25, but hadn't heard about it:

Today, DNC Chair Ken Martin and ASDC President Jane Kleeb announced a historic “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy – a new four-year agreement to deliver more resources into Democratic state and territory parties than ever before – delivering on Chair Martin’s commitment to turbocharging investments in on-the-ground organizing and party building. Under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement, each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month, a $5,000 per month increase over the last agreement, and Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month. The combined investments total a monthly transfer of more than $1 million from the DNC to state parties – the committee’s largest investment into Democratic state parties in history

“Since the public can’t see or hear what’s happening in federal court firsthand, we’re using cutting-edge AI tools to bring these important proceedings to life, based entirely on official transcripts,” said Law&Crime President Rachel Stockman. “This is a pivotal moment in both popular culture and justice, and our goal is to provide accurate, transparent access to what’s actually being said in that courtroom.”

There's two "full time" Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin's personal accounts as a salary.
