3·2 years agoI don’t believe critique of JK Rowling is left wing extremism although book burning as a form of consumer boycott seems to be rather counterproductive.
How about banning public book burning in general? Not a lot of good memories related to that.
Want to keep burning books? Have waste collection services provide a pickup point. Then they can do it in some industrial incinerator so you’ll have your book burned but without providing media with an easy outrage (unless you wanted outrage?).
Book burning seems to be a tool of right wing extremism, even when it’s used against right wing extremists of some other kind, there’s very little benefit to the society.
Also obligatory, fuck organized religion.
You’re already trying too hard but are also not extreme enough to win. Sorry.
Non-paywall link via Canadian Bloomberg:
If a motorcycle is zooming at Mach 3 in a general vicinity of your house it’s pretty hard to report due to practical issues like getting shoes on, getting to your Mach 4 capable vehicle, locating the offender and catching up with him to get his plates.
I’m disappointed with russia. They could have spun it into a successful drone attack on Ukrainian military moon base, or a military moon kindergarten.
Reality having liberal bias is implied ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Legalization usually implies allowing some degree of commercialization, otherwise you end up with weird middle ground like Netherlands. What Germany is doing isn’t even going as far as Netherlands do, at least for now since there are going to be pilot programs for small scale shops (on top of currently proposed clubs).
US is vastly different from state to state, ranging from cannabis being illegal, through medical use being allowed with varying degrees of ease of prescriptions, all up to full legalization including commercialization.
BBC, Euronews and Deutsche Well are highly factual while having centre-left bias according to mediabiasfactcheck.com which is why I favor using them to post news to Lemmy.
From what I’m reading there are plenty of caveats. It’s much more than decriminalization but definitely can’t be called legalization.
What russia is doing is in response to how badly they do against other currencies, western European ones included.
Were there any credible war crime accusations that were not followed up by Ukrainian officials?
Can you say anything about how widespread those are?
Looks like central bank intervened. I wonder how much of their reserve is left if they let it slide this far.
I guess it was up to e-scooter renting companies to come up with some kind of geofencing of reasonable parking but they failed to self-regulate which led to everyone being pissed off about them. If those companies were concerned about the spaces they littered they’d probably be still in business.
It’s a good sign that abusing good faith is punished with such severity.
