In other news
In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.
I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.
Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.
Moreover I’m absolutely certain nobody on the left will be arrested for attempted or completed domestic terrorism as a result of something they saw on msnbc
Conversely I’m certain at least one tinfoil MAGA saw Watters and thinks it’s their patriotic duty to take out *checks notes* Taylor Swift
surely you could link dozens of examples then...
Something is very wrong with that Republican Party right ?

Republican lawmakers in New Hampshire are seeking to make using ESG criteria in state funds a crime in the latest attack on the beleaguered investing strategy.
Representatives led by Mike Belcher introduced a bill that would prohibit the state’s treasury, pension fund and executive branch from using investments that consider environmental, social and governance factors. “Knowingly” violating the law would be a felony punishable by not less than one year and no more than 20 years imprisonment, according to the proposal.
Bill as usual nails it
Broken YouTube LinkThe US and UK have begun joint air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, two US defence officials told the BBC's US partner, CBS News.
The strikes are aimed at a range of targets, including radars, officials told CBS.
Previously, most of the recent strikes were aimed at individual missiles the Houthis were believed to be preparing to launch, the officials said.
Need an even stronger response
Can they actually reliably target only vessels "linked to Israel"? How would they be able to do that?
The post about executive orders about gtmo has been moved to the conspiracy thread. Among other problems the exec order cited was a Trump order that rescinded part of Obama's exec order about closing gtmo, not Bidens.

Most bizarrely, he wants to ban people who "engage in anthropomorphic behavior". So, anyone who acts like a human has to go!
Just a thought - before you propose a bill using a 5 syllable word, make sure you first know what it means.

Anthropomorphic means assigning human traits to non human things. It still doesn't fit here but it isn't what you are claiming it is.

Jamie Dimon , the biggest bankers in the US :
