#NavajoNation pushes for #radioactive waste remnants to be fully removed
The United Nuclear Corporation is asking to transfer 1 million cubic yards of mine waste to a spot still near the Nation
By: Arlyssa Becenti - October 22, 2021
“The #Navajo people have endured decades of radiation exposure and #contamination caused by #uranium mining and production, and continues to impact the health of individuals, families and communities. We strongly oppose the proposed amendment that would allow the transfer of uranium mine waste and contamination just a short distance from the Navajo Nation and the homes of our Navajo people.” -- Navajo President Jonathan Nez

If you haven't read "The Big Myth," you should (or at least the intro).
Andreesen, et al. are merely echoing the wealthy capitalists of 100 years ago, insisting that everything will be wonderful if we just let them do whatever they please.
Those capitalists fought against paid vacation, sick leave, workers' comp, the weekend, social security, the FDIC, rural electricity, and abolishing child labor.
Andreesen and his followers will do much, much worse if we let them.

Mastodon FeedI'm trying out https://codeium.com (mainly because they support Sublime Text)
It's not smart enough to be an AI overlord that would leave me jobless. Not even close. It gets confused easily.
However, when it works, having it auto-complete whole lines is kinda nice. It can do predictable mundane things like adding more assertions in tests.

BTW: on the same repo I've a pull request that fix a huge documentation problem that wasted hours of my work (found many closed issues due to this problem on the repo, many of them closed by this same "mark stale" idiocy).
That PR is 1 month old, no one merged it yet.

@StillIRise1963 Examples related to a previous discussion: Medicaid is politically unpopular because white folks think it all goes to poor Black people, when actually 2/3rds of people in nursing homes are paid for by Medicaid. So it’s their own last years they’re voting against. And demographically, since native born Americans aren’t having many kids, we need immigration to support Social Security and Medicare. But white xenophobia won’t allow it.

One of the toughest parts of running for Congress while remaining 100% people funded, is fundraising when horrible things happen. Some confuse fundraising with a lack of empathy.
The reality is, I'm running to uphold justice. I refuse corporate money to be 100% accountable to the People—so I can best address the needs of those suffering.
Last quarter—with your support—I outraised my corporate funded opponent. Whether it's $1 or $3300—we need you. Donate, RT, let's win:

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

Really though, Mario Wonder is great. Best 2-D Mario in ages.
It just feels like...remember when they re-released all the original Mario games on Game Boy Advance, but added a bunch of voices that weren't in the original games, just because they could? And so there Mario yelled inane things that didn't add to the game every time you pressed a button, just to show off the hardware?
That's what this feels like.

“Mr. Chesebro’s deal could present a more serious threat to Mr. Trump than the others given that he pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count that involved both the former president and some of his closest allies.
Mr. Chesebro also maintained an extensive correspondence with other pro-Trump lawyers charged in the case and played a central role in one of Mr. Trump’s chief plans to stay in office: a scheme to create slates of pro-Trump electors in states like Georgia, which Mr. Trump had actually lost.”

“reveal a politically engaged swath of American Jewry who are reaching a breaking point. They have long sought an end to the Israeli government’s occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza, supported a two-state solution and protested the right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
But in the Hamas attacks, many saw an existential threat, evoking memories of the Holocaust and generations of antisemitism, and provoking anxiety about whether they could face attacks in the United States. And they were taken aback to discover that many of their ideological allies not only failed to perceive the same threats but also saw them as oppressors deserving of blame.”

An automatic "mark as stale" action is a 🖕 to your users. At this point just make the repository private. Who cares?

For all the things Nintendo does uncannily well, they are just fucking awful at voiceover. (Or English voiceover, at least.)
I don't understand how "let's do lots of obnoxious flower NPCs that sound like Blippi" ever shipped. They're such a terrible part of an otherwise amazing game. They stamp a sloppy Star Fox 64 vibe on the whole thing. Thank God you can turn the VO off.
