Cynical me thinks they did this exactly because there's a pretty good chance Trump will be re-elected in the near future, and they're a-ok with Trump squeezing social media companies. Don't want to prematurely take away King Trump's power!
This answer is from Kagi's search summary: I don't know how accurate it may or may not be:
As of 2024, the specific U.S. states that only define rape as requiring penis insertion are:
- Alabama
- Florida
- Idaho
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- Texas
These states have not updated their legal definitions of rape to include other forms of sexual penetration or oral sex, which can lead to underreporting and inadequate prosecution of sexual assault cases. It is important to note that federal law and many other states have broader definitions of rape that encompass various forms of non-consensual sexual contact.
A suggestion, since you don't like the plot:
It is a visually stunning movie, try watching it just for the cinematography. IMO... every frame could be a photograph. Here - I'll grab one, totally random. You can do this close to anywhere in the movie, take a frame - hang it on a wall:

Bonus... I could seriously do this all day and come up with amazing shots: https://i.imgur.com/gmhfZ7k.png
I don't really mind...
Maybe I'm the only one, but I wasn't enamored by his take on Max. Fury Road is an absolutely fantastic movie and is easily in my top-10 right now, but I credit that much more to George Miller, Charlize, and Nicholas Hoult. Max seemed like almost an afterthought.
I'll throw mine into the mix:
After collecting Seikos for 35 years (first Seiko bought in 1980), I finally splurged on a (9F61 quartz movement) Grand Seiko, model SBGX119. I have really tiny wrists, and the 37mm case is perfect:
I've been using a Briggs and Riley (checked bag)since 2006 for quarterly business trips (including overseas: it's been to England, Ireland, India, France, Norway, Russia). Still going strong, nothing's ever broken.
I think it was ~$350 when I bought it. I just looked, and the equivalent model now goes for $750. God-damn, inflation's a bitch.
And even that too 8 freaking years! WTF.
No one is. Not the American public, not anyone on the planet. Not even Trump (since he makes shit up as he goes). There is no plan. It'll just be mass insanity, driven by an insane egomaniac.
No, not the website: the git project.
If you want a web app, try redact.dev (yes, there's a paid version where you can download your old messages, but the free one wipes out your posts (with random text) for free.
I spent a chunk of this afternoon nuking my old reddit posts. Thousands and thousands of posts... thank goodness for shreddit.
Only 117 votes total?
If the GOP wants, they can swoop in and pay a small number of people to vote her to the top. Mind you, I don't know that the GOP actually wants her to continue on the national stage?
And the article has no audio! Ugh... even the embedded video is just text.
If you're having trouble watching dark shows/movies -- might be time to jump to OLED. Silo looked fantastic.
Every morning hereafter will be a struggle... "which watch do I wear today? 836 or U1?"
Same here - not sure if this is a cloudflare problem, but i've been getting these more and more. I'm on a Mac, I'm pretty darn sure I don't have a virus, so I don't know what's going on.
Never did get to the article, btw.
I'm not saying I believe this report could come true, but... it claims that RFK Jr could siphon 1/3 Dem votes from Biden:
Are there any stats you're basing that on?
Anecdotally: I lived in California for 30 years, was registered Green, and voted for Gore, as did many of my Green Party friends.
