Trump Makes RFK Jr. Pose With McDonald’s Meal
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, recently called Trump’s diet “poison.” On Saturday, he was photographed on Trump’s plane eating McDonald’s with the president-elect and his inner circle.
“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he said. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison. You have a choice between — you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s, like, when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”
TL;DR Trump is doing what he always does. Making those around him bend the knee and embarrass themselves as a display of power. No sympathy for RFK here, that piece of shit knew what he signed up for… or at least the brain worms did.
While I agree with your point, this isn’t an indictment of journalism. Comicsands.com is George Takei’s personal buzzfeed clone. I love George Takei but it’s not an actual news source, it’s a meme blog. Personally, I don’t think it belongs in any serious news oriented communities.
He’s not. But several years ago the media latched onto a well established term from “internet culture” without understanding (or perhaps caring) what it was actually describing, and decided that it meant ridiculing something on social media. It’s an example of a subculture’s slang getting thoroughly corrupted through mainstream exposure until it no longer means what it once did.
I’d be a lot happier if Mastodon were seeing 1 million new users a day right now, but I’ll take what I can get. Any dent in Twitter’s user base is good. Here’s hoping that experiencing “the Fediverse with training wheels” over at Bluesky will lead to people moving to Mastodon sooner rather than later.
All the direct result of decades worth of work by Republicans to erode public education and vilify ‘expertise’ as a concept.

Well deserved. Betty White was an immense talent and a wonderful human being. She was a true ally against bigotry.
In 1954, as The Betty White Show became national across the United States, White was criticized by many in the Southern states for having Arthur Duncan, a Black tap dancer, on her variety show and was asked to remove him. In the 2018 documentary Betty White: First Lady of Television, White recalled threats to take the show off-air “if we didn’t get rid of Arthur, because he was Black.” She refused, saying “he stays, live with it”.
Also:
A supporter and advocate of LGBT rights, White said in 2010, “If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don’t worry about other people so much.” In a 2011 interview, she revealed that she always knew her close friend Liberace was gay and that she sometimes accompanied him to premieres to help him hide it.

Meh, I bought Ultra lifetime after a few months of using Apollo and never even bothered using push notifications. Which is funny, because it was the main thing I missed when I originally switched from Android and RiF in 2020. Voyager is FOSS so it’s understandable that there won’t be push notifications, as that require servers which cost money, and it also introduces potential security issues. User tags on the other hand, were something Apollo sorely needed, and the dev never got around to it.
Presets would be cool. I don’t really use reddit anymore but RES had presets for usertags and it made tagging MAGA chuds very easy.
Gee, I wonder who she voted for…
