Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

News@lemmy.world•In reversal, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files
18·3 days agoIn theory, they can pass this with a veto-proof majority.
In practice, you may have spotted a flaw in the US Constitution here. I’ll add it to the pile.

2·6 days agoThere are plenty of movies where the CGI is creating elements that could well be real, like people or buildings. There was a movie recently where rather than go through the legal hassle of having live horses on set they just CGIed every last shot that contained a horse, even if they were just standing around in the background. You’ve no doubt watched plenty of CGI imagery that you had no idea was CGI. It looked good, that was all.

News@lemmy.world•Republicans push to strip Zohran Mamdani of US citizenship. Is it possible?
27·11 days agoWhat do you mean “now?” Americans have had this habit of calling anyone whose politics they disapprove of a “communist” or “socialist” for a very long time.

World News@lemmy.world•Three Chinese astronauts stranded in space after debris hits their return capsule
60·14 days agoThe funny thing is that we have been doing a lot about it lately, most launch providers these days take care to ensure that their spent boosters reenter and satellite operators include provisions for moving them to graveyard orbits when they’re done.
Except China, who have continued to be rather sloppy when it comes to disposing of their boosters. Maybe this will give them a nudge.

World News@lemmy.world•Wikipedia row erupts as founder Jimmy Wales intervenes on 'Gaza genocide' article
25·14 days agoDon’t jump to conclusions. Jimmy’s “intervention” has been largely rejected by the Wikipedia community, and it wasn’t much of an intervention to begin with.

News@lemmy.world•USDA Threatens Stores Giving Discounts to People on Food Stamps
5·16 days agoLaws don’t instantly become moot just because there isn’t a police officer standing right in front of you with handcuffs ready to go, and it’s not a good idea to normalize having agencies deciding on an ad-hoc basis “we’re just going to let our rules slide this time.” What if the EPA did that for polluters?
I am in no way supporting this, I’m just pointing out that the problem isn’t as easy or obvious to solve as it seems. They need to change the regulations and there’s a process for that. They should have seen something like this coming and had the regulations account for it to begin with, but they didn’t and now we’re here. Oversights like that happen sometimes.

News@lemmy.world•USDA Threatens Stores Giving Discounts to People on Food Stamps
10·16 days agoDid you read the article?
At issue is SNAP’s “Equal Treatment Rule,” which bars stores from either discriminating against people in the program or offering them favorable treatment.
I dug a little further. The SNAP “Equal Treatment Rule” is not a standalone statute passed by Congress, it’s an agency regulation issued by USDA under its authority to administer the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It is codified in federal regulations (7 C.F.R. Part 274). SNAP itself is authorized by the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. §§ 2011–2036). That law gives USDA broad authority to regulate how benefits are issued and used.

News@lemmy.world•Department of Transportation might be forced to shut down some airspace next week: Duffy
13·16 days agoThere’s always a few that aren’t, people who can be pried off of the leftward flank.
If you think there aren’t then you might as well start advocating for the dissolution of the United States, because the experiment is over and it’s a failure.

Hm.
