First possibility that comes to mind is a backed up federation queue on lemmy.world for some reason.
It could also be some failure on sh.itjust.works, but if I had to guess I would say it's more likely an issue on the sending end.
If you look at a lot of the weird stuff that LLMs create, and just remember that they're predicting the next symbol one token at a time without engaging any factual reasoning, it makes perfect sense why they are doing the weird shit that they're doing.
Trump's just not a reliable partner. He's just recently with his genius-brain managed to figure out that Putin has been lying to him and treating him like an idiot this whole time, and he doesn't like that because he's supposed to be always the liar and never the lie-ee, and so now he's gunning for Russia, which they can't really do anything about.
(Well, almost nothing. I kind of suspect that the sudden furor about Trump and Epstein, when we've basically known the two of them were BFFs for decades now and plenty of far worse things including someone who swore testimony that Trump raped her as a child, is because Russia is trying to punish him. The weird factor that some of the Russian assets like MTG are really pushing the Epstein thing bolsters the credibility a little bit, too.)
He might be representing other interests and opinions than his constituents.
You know he's ahead by 22 percentage points, right? I mean it goes down to 4 points if you artificially winnow the field down into the most disfavorable one-on-one matchup that's available and continue to give him no support from the Democratic establishment... but overall it sounds like he's representing exactly the interests and opinions of his constituents, more so than anyone else anyone can find. Specifically that war crimes are bad and rich landlords can get fucked. What interests and opinions would you like to see represented instead of that?
This is certainly an unpopular opinion lol.
Are you sure they're doing that? I've known many Muslims and have never known any of them to do anything like that. Are you sure you didn't watch some dishonest media that convinced you that that is what they are doing, and then you were able to apply it to this singular politician who is doing some policies that are wildly popular outside of the media you consume?
Wait, what the fuck? I missed this. Where can I read more?
Going and hanging out in DC is not an illegal order.
Stirring resentment among the military is the absolute best route to making sure that when they start issuing actually illegal orders (which they are definitely planning to do), they won't be followed. The fascism isn't good, but the fact that is has this particular footshooting nature is pretty excellent. Also, the people doing stuff like setting up loudspeakers in DC to play Gen. Milley's speech about Trump, dictators, and the role of the military in a free democracy are doing the good lord's work in every single way.
Also, I'm pretty skeptical that this is accidental. All kinds of convenient little accidents start happening when people start strongly resenting the position they're being put in and there are easy things they can do to spread the word.
Yeah, but those have been decided on the "whole country" level. It's not one city's mayor who's decided "You know what fuck the State Department I'm gonna do some forcible diplomacy, it'll definitely be fine because after all at the end of the day I am in the right. Which is always most important in geopolitics!"
He might be able to arrest Netanyahu. Although, I sort of suspect that the NYPD would just straight-up refuse to do it. He would not be able to hold him even for long enough to charge him with anything.
Honestly it seems like a fine solution on both sides.
"You have secured yourself an honored platform and you interact with it. Please buy me my own honored platform, so that we may remain as equals in the matter of the computer. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Honestly, I think it is at least a little bit performative. One thing I will actually agree with PerryM on is that there's about a 0% chance that it would stick. But whatever, it's a good idea for Mamdani to make it clear where he stands on Israel and keep himself in the news, and this is doing both of those, so great, sounds good, I like it.
