"That woke dairy farm didn't take all the pasture outta the milk before they put it in the cartons! Everyone's getting sick because they're not depasteurizing the milk enough!" - my qanon neighbour, probably

Inbred?

Aliens did nothing we know of to deserve even more of our trash. Volcanoes on the other hand have angry gods that must be appeased every so often. Just spitballing.

Thanks for asking this btw. Just found it with a quick search wondering the same thing after reading yet another comment section (this one about Trump, Musk and JD Vance) that turned into 50% whinging about .world mods/admin and horrible reddit users turning their lemmy into a shithole. The answers you got here were really helpful for me to understand a bit more about the context/history of these spaces.

Like the hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits that piled up over the decades.

Boxes about the size of a hardcover book each held evidence of a reported sexual assault – dried swabs of saliva and semen and blood, strands of hair, debris scraped from under fingernails. Each was collected from a person, most of them women and girls, during an hours long exam. And each was shelved without being processed for DNA. The evidence crowded storerooms, tangible proof of law enforcement’s failure to support victims and hold rapists accountable.

Testing the kits was supposed to be the first step in righting that wrong. In some places that received federal grants, not even that happened.

At least a dozen grant recipients carved out exceptions to testing, leaving kits unprocessed for a second time. In one California county, officials boasted they had cleared their backlog, but only after deeming more than half of their kits ineligible for testing.

In many cases, officials have done little beyond sending the kits to a lab, reviewing the results and again closing the files. In Maryland, according to a state report, some law enforcement agencies have shown “significant reluctance” to reopen investigations and have even stated outright that they are disregarding DNA matches.

What’s more, some officials all but abandoned the idea of providing victims answers about what happened to their rape kits or apologies for how long testing took. One Kansas police agency has tried to reach just 17 victims from roughly 1,100 sexual assault kits. An official there said there are instances where DNA testing has identified the names of suspects for the first time but the victims have not been told, because officials don’t think their cases can be prosecuted.

Skippy the oppositional attack puppy is against everything, including a functional Canadian government. Rotten little twit.

Their anti-union work is legendary. Walton inspired frikkin Bezos.

That they can talk about "pulling back on DEI efforts" in the news bit and not mention that most of Wally's workforce is women and PoC? News in a vacuum.

They haven't "stepped back from diversity, equity and inclusion efforts after feeling the heat from conservative activists." Walmart IS the Conservative activist in this situation.

Thanks for the heads up OP. Everyone reading probably knows someone who works there or has worked there themselves. Everything they do sets a weighty precedent for workers, to put it mildly.

its former chief diversity officer role is now called the chief belonging officer

... these petty assholes.

I wish this news bit had at least mentioned Walmart's White Christian fundamentalist roots. Or how they destroy local businesses and source overseas for their 'free market,' their anti-union activism, low wages, shit healthcare options, well-documented sexism and racism in the workplace, etc. In 2020, Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon was an advisor to Trump. Walmart's political spending in 2024 alone should've been at least a footnote. Context matters so much.

The good thing about this story is that a nazi is losing her job while no one who had to work for her is losing theirs.

“... and I’m just gonna say this out loud. The only way that this is gonna be stopped is with bullets. And yah, I said it.” - Rat King, filthy fucking nazi, Dec 2021.

King has been found guilty of five charges: two counts of disobeying a court order and one each of mischief, counselling to commit mischief and counselling to obstruct a public or peace officer.

He's been found not guilty of four charges: three of intimidation and counselling to commit intimidation, and one of obstructing a public or peace officer. cbc yesterday

Piece of crap was smiling through all the "not guilties." So brazen - I remember he even wore a Sons of Odin hoodie at his bail hearing back in '22.

These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.

jfc... racist humour is always so stupid and lazy.

Hinchcliffe also referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean” and made a remark about Black people who “carved watermelons” instead of pumpkins for Halloween.

A politician having trash like this warm the crowd for them should be shocking.
