Alright, I'm going to say it out loud, despite the risk of this being counted as uncivil (via Rule 1) 🤞 🤞

These imbeciles don't need stern lectures, fines, or jail - they need livestreamed floggings to humiliate or even cripple them. Hundreds of millions should see, record, archive, and openly mock their distress publicly as a stark reminder of the stakes involved.

The Sentinelese are a genetic sub-group so isolated, and so unique that their loss would be incalculable. They're a living, breathing, irreplaceable time capsule of human culture and genetic information, and the thought that some thrill-seeking wanker could decimate them by passing the common cold to one of their members is beyond worrisome - it's enraging. As lucky as we were that the last worthless dick-beater - American Evangelical missionary, John Allen Chau - to make their way to the island was summarily killed, that luck may not hold out. We're talking about a group whose immunity is such a throwback that something like Chickenpox, Rubella, or Influenza could decimate the island's population. For next-nearest historical comparison, Smallpox, to which the inhabitants of North America had virtually no resistance due to longstanding geographic isolation from infection, is estimated to have killed 90% of the continent's population via European contact.

There are blue Orions with antennae?

Elon Musk’s job approval

It's phrased in such a way that I'm reminded of politician's approval ratings, but he's not an elected official. Are there polls to determine the approval of persons appointed to position by the U.S. President, or are we talking about his approval as Tesla/Space X is concerned?

Hear, hear, we want names! Who are these double-dealing little shits?

This is true, which I'd assumed was the reason that I heard talk of limits to its scope, specifically concerning sedition or actions which ran counter to the national interest/security. Bit of a Pandora's Box though, absolutely.

https://lemmy.world/post/27648440 This post from yesterday feels especially relevant given the context of this one, but it makes for uncomfortable reading, so I'll leave its reading to your individual discretion.

"A common practice in prisons known as ‘V-Coding’ is to purposefully house transgender inmates alongside particularly violent inmates..."

Tariff? Simply ban their import.

What was the result of the announcement to rescind Musk's Canadian citizenship? I saw the first stories about it, but nothing since, I'd say that successfully removing the legal citizenship of someone directly and ardently working counter to Canada's national interests should count as sanction, no?

Shrimps together strong.

Please more Andorian content, please more Andorian content, please more Andorian content, please more Andorian content...

Not so uncommon a situation as you might assume, there are plenty of shortstacks willing to work with the height discrepancy.

"I can't believe that you could break the law like this, ICE, especially as law enforcement officers. Honestly, you should know better than to disappear political opponents of the President's global policy, and people with tenuous residency status without so much as a hearing. I'm very disappointed in you, Mister."
