Or maybe what media thinks their job is isn't what you think it should be. Maybe the media is deliberately promoting fascism for profit, has become our enemy, and needs to be destroyed.

You're being hit with downvotes -- at least mine, which I have since rescinded -- because your title reads like you're irritated about the "anti-Trump" aspect, not the "frivolous" aspect.
Did you forget about Project 2025 already? They're about to all be fired and replaced with MAGA loyalist sycophants.
You're talking as if the people giving the briefings aren't about to all be fired and replaced with MAGA loyalist sycophants.
Is Sotomayor that old/unhealthy?
That's apparently because the 5800X3D was discontinued last month. The 5700X3D is newer even though it's slightly slower, so it hasn't been discontinued yet.
(Incidentally, I found this all out a few days ago and decided I'd better finally upgrade my 1700X while I had the chance, so I've got a 5700X3D sitting on my desk waiting to be installed as I type this. Microcenter has them on sale for $180 right now, BTW.)
the court would probably start from the position that you are actually infringing a valid patent (it was granted after all)...because there is the assumption that every claim is made in good faith
In other words, one big aspect of patent reform needs to be fixing the patent office itself so that it hires patent examiners who are actually competent to evaluate the applications for prior art.

Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why
(lemmy.world)
For years now, I've been watching most of the trick-or-treaters go to the house on one side of me, take one look at my house and walk right past it, and then go to the house on the other side.
I had no clue why. Maybe they were scared of my house or thought I'd give cheap candy (my house is a bit of a fixer-upper)? I completed my "curb appeal" projects; didn't help.
Maybe they thought nobody was home? I not only have the porch light on, but also have the living room TV on, clearly visible through the (open!) front window, and it makes no difference.
Maybe they think I'm not participating (despite the clear signal of the porch light and jack-o'-lantern)? I put up a bunch of Halloween decorations this year, and it still didn't help!
Well, I finally found out the reason, after hearing one kid scouting ahead yelling to tell his friends to skip my house: "there's no bowl on the porch!"
...You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Yep, unlike my neighbors, who had apparently just left unattended bowls of candy on their porches, I was actually sitting there inside the house, with the bowl of candy, waiting for kids to knock or ring the doorbell before I opened the door and handed it out. You know, like how trick-or-treating is supposed to work.
This is ridiculous. Kids these days are skipping viable houses with candy because they can't be bothered to actually knock on the damn door and say "trick or treat" to the person who answers? Residents are expected to be too lazy to answer the door, and just put out the candy without even receiving the traditional threat first? With no actual interaction with the neighbors for the kids to show off their costumes, what's even the point‽
I finally stuck a sign on the door saying "yes, you have to knock or ring for candy!" and that helped, but even then, some kids are still skipping my house because they apparently can't be bothered to read the sign.

I went to vote today in Georgia USA. People showed up wearing bed sheets over them. What is this supposed to communicate exactly??

This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.
I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.
Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!

From the Saporta Report:
Hurricane Helene rocked the Southeast in late September, bringing devastation to parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and more. The storm, a Category 4 at its peak, arrived in Georgia on Friday night and affected almost every part of the state. Gov. Brian Kemp has called the damage left by the storm “unprecedented.” Georgia cities […]
