I've been a fan of Mr. Bungle for a long time and always meant to check out Faith No More.

Up until a few months ago I was really heavy on reddit and twitter. Now I use lemmy and threads. I will say that since both apps are a lot less active than what they replaced, I am on social media for considerably less of my day. Paradoxically, I am much more active on social media than before I made the switch.

That doesn't sound like Frank

I think the main issue with Rogen is that while he provides a platform for voices across the political/social spectrum (which is great), he does very little to challenge his guests and generally goes with the flow. This means that people making false claims or dog whistle statements are being taken at face value alongside people making good faith arguments, which grants those bad actors some amount of undeserved authenticity.

So no, he is not nearly as bad as Andrew Tate etc; but he has a lot of exposure and clout that he does not always bring to bear in the name of true and honest discussion. Also the whole RFK debate thing is really poignant here as it's a typical example of taking two "balanced" perspectives on vaccines and assuming that they both deserve to be at the same table, when in reality the anti vax movement largely gets by without any scientific evidence and isn't a reasonable position to hold.

Also doesn't the law deal with water breaks at work? OPs examples were all people doing their own thing. I think we're all in agreement though that if people are dying from the heat right now that it will get a lot worse once this legislation takes effect.

I love this list but I feel like I've been seeing it for 20+years sometimes

It's pretty cruel to put your cat in a prime position to get hit by a car though

Waiting for Sync

 

I'm in the middle of migrating from Reddit to Lemmy, and I'm really going to miss the fermentation community over there. Thought I'd try and get some ferments posted and maybe meet some similarly minded folks over here.
