Maybe it's because these generations of which I'm a part are struggling financially and will likely end up in the gutter due to crumbling support systems or because we're staring down the double barrel of the imminent repercussions of ignoring climate change and the reinforcing systemic barriers to overcome it, but I just learned that "dust bowl chic" (and consent, already known) really does it for me.

Looks like Raw Story, Rolling Stone, The Daily Beast, The Independent, and whatever that middle one is have reported. Ground is suggesting all but the latter is left-leaning.

Perhaps it's just a leftover marketing motif?

"The spelling disk and disc are used interchangeably except where trademarks preclude one usage, e.g., the Compact Disc logo. The choice of a particular form is frequently historical, as in IBM's usage of the disk form beginning in 1956 with the "IBM 350 disk storage unit". "

I know this is probably rhetorical, but there's probably room for further discussion. Strong overlap in the two groups with their transphobic binary gender/biological sex beliefs that is used to reinforce the "female make baby" beliefs. Also, distancing language. Hard to say if there's room for course correction. Incel results don't seem to deter incel thinking.

Defintely not. Right up there with right wingers using villians as their icons in memes. Although, I can't tell if that's a deliverate choice or ab ignorant one.

Yes, but I do wonder if he did step down would the GOP recieve the same invigoration the Dems appear to be receiving from a different contender.

Wasn't sure if this was a joke or if I didn't read the thread correctly, but the reply above yours is in regards to AOC, yeah?

Have you tried being creative?

I think in this context bullying can be expanded to its summative affect at the level of the society. This accumlative persecution is cultural and does in turn lesd to internal beliefs that one's perceived deviance, as pushed by the dominant social narrative, is unworthy. There are studies that demonstrate societal pressures/persecution does lead to increased rates of suicide. This is most notable within marginalized groups supporting the point made above.

This is an important detail often missed when discussing journalism, objectivity, bias, and, unfortunately, integrity. It's a necessary piece of fabric that has been fraying for years. As another lemmy post some month ago put it, with the loss of the Cronkite era folks lost faith in the fourth estate. The tragedy is that the stratification of news by party and by medium is that anything right of CNN, most of the fringe blogosphere, and nearly all of the AM stations is that they are presenting opinionated hot takes as journalistic facts. Moreover, this tends to galvanize an already consitent voter base. It seems like without an emotional appeal to resisting consrvative ideologues the rhetoric and relative baseline just keep slipping.
