Here to add that, thanks to this jumping-bean bug, crossposting is difficult: once you confirm to which community to crosspost, focus is lost, the page jumps to the top and the post title and any URL are lost. Ouch!
@oleorun@real.lemmy.fan (or anybody, really), if you do file a bug report, would you mind posting the Github link? Thanks!

2024-06-09 UPDATE: from WXYZ Detroit, Famous teen chess player visits with students at DIA, gets tour of Detroit…
*removed externally hosted image*
Jessica Hyatt, a senior in high school in New York and a student who is just a few points away from becoming the first African American woman in the United States to earn the Chess Master title, paid them a visit at the Detroit Institute of Arts on Friday.
Then she played a 25-board Simul in the Great Hall, which means she played 25 chess players at the same time and won all 25 games, which is quite unusual.
Thanks, oh blustery one, for that avalanche of authentic Azerbaijani audio. I'm listening to it as I write this reply. I say this sincerely: Music, like food, is one of the few things in life that can bring all peoples together, regardless of politics or dogma.
Just in case anyone has still missed the point, my only objection to this post is that it's not music. It's about music, the item in question ironically containing very little actual music. As our sidebar sez—etched centuries ago by the community elders 🤣 —post music and save the documentaries for the appropriate communities.

My thoughts? You asked…
Wrong community, pal. Post music you like. Where's the music? I personally would've preferred this or this instead of this hour-and-a-half-ish "Human talks at camera then video ends" video.
At !music@midwest.social I wanna hear Franz Schubert, I don't wanna hear about Franz Schubert.
I see you've spammed crossposted this video to six different communities. Do you have skin in it?
EDIT 20:33 CEST: My mistake. I assumed you'd crossposted to six different communities but I see the video has been crossposted by different users.

Uhmm...that's certainly an interesting talking point to concentrate on.

If you can’t take an insult you have no business being in politics, which is just a formalized method for handling conflict.
…I think we can all agree on this.
MTG made it personal because she’s an asshole
…and here's where you throw your whole argument out the window. Pushback (and language) of this nature has no place in civil discourse, much less justification of such. We, and they, are not friends at the bar. We, and they, are in a public arena where, like it or not, we are held to certain social customs and rules. Rep Greene was clearly out of line with such a playground ad hominem attack on Rep Crockett. But instead of "taking the high road" or having Greene officially reprimanded for her childish behaviour most unbecoming of a public official—at least Rep Ocasio-Cortez correctly addressed the attack initially—both Reps Cortez and Crockett returned the volley with Ms Crockett improvising that scene from Do The Right Thing. Would you applaud that kind of escalation from your children?
"Pearl clutching," my ass.
And like potato chips, just one more…
No way they’ll reliably meet US safety standards.
The linked article mentions that the Seagull presently doesn't meet US Safety Requirements. But that's probably the least of our worries.
BYD and its line of EVs is an economic scatter bomb Made in China. BYD's products are heavily subsidized by the PRC and built by unionless "slave labor." It doesn't matter at all if the Seagull makes one yuan of profit, like the Chinese solar panel market they're created to flood the market and later, when the competition folds during the inevitable "race to the bottom", attain market dominance. Even if BYD does meet US safety standards, even with heavy US import taxes and tariffs applied, their EVs would still sell for less than a Volt or a Tesla. At that point, how could the average US car buyer not be tempted?
This is not to say that American automotive industry is without blame or was somehow blindsided, having dropped the ball as they did back in the 1970s with the first wave of Japanese imports. The US government must share the blame for being at least 10 years too late on having in place a national EV charging strategy much like the Highway Act of the 1956. I guess, like the pre-2008 banks, everyone was just making too much money to do anything about it.
Here's an article over at Electrek regarding the present US EV situation. While I won't say I entirely agree with their analysis they do make many legitimate points regarding EV strategy.

Worth it for the cover art alone! 😄
Didj'all know that that's inherent behaviour in all felines? No, not to put their puss up close to the camera lens…to sit in boxes or, more correctly, delineated spaces? Don't believe me?
Then again, mental as cat owners are, y'all probably did know this already. 🤦♂️
Everything I say is a lie.

From BridgeMichigan: Pro-Trump attorney, former clerk face Michigan election tampering charges…
The new charges could result in up to 20 years of jail time for Scott and 15 years for Lambert.
Scott, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday, previously claimed she’d “done nothing wrong” before Adams Township voters recalled and removed her from office in May 2023.
In October 2021, Scott was stripped of her ability to conduct elections by the Department of State after refusing to turn over her voting machines, assigning her duties to the Hillsdale County Clerk. […] At the time, Scott told Bridge Michigan that she did not trust the machine and wanted to preserve any old data on it, echoing unfounded claims that tabulators may have been rigged against former President Donald Trump in 2020.
Jorja on my mind…

Thanks anyway. 🤝
Thanks for investigating. I apologize if I'm being obtuse but are you saying you can see/load !music@midwest.social from lemmy.ml? Because I still can't (I just checked again for the bazillionth time).
Again, from lemmy.ml.
