My dog can be a pain at times, but I still love the adorable little idiot. Dude can’t help but plop down on my leg. Either way, I definitely disagree. Harold will wait right on the arm of the couch next to the door for me or my mom to come in, tail wagging so fast I fear it’ll fall off. | [

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 65%. (I'm a bot)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CNN Tuesday that he would mediate the war in Ukraine if Russia, Ukraine, and specifically the US asked him.
Netanyahu also told Tapper that he was previously tapped to mediate "Early on in the breakout"of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, clarifying that it was an "Unofficial" request.
Despite offering his help, Netanyahu added that his current focus in a surge in violence between Israelis and Palestinians, telling Tapper, "We have our own backyard to deal with."

What Israel has done to the Palestinians is far worse than what is going on in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Unclear what Netanyahu thinks he could bring to the table. | [

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 64%. (I'm a bot)
Finland's Parliament has voted 113-69 in favour of making changes to the nation's transgender laws.
Government party MPs voted along party lines during Wednesday afternoon's session, with the exception of Centre Party respresentatives, who had been told they could vote as a "Matter of conscience" - meaning each individual MP decides themselves how to vote - rather than necessarily with the government.
Among opposition parties, the Finns Party and the Christian Democrats voted against the law change, but 26 out of 36 National Coalition Party MPs present voted in favour.
Extended Summary | FAQ | Feedback | Top keywords: vote^#1 party^#2 law^#3 change^#4 transgender^#5 | [] |

TL;DR:
The result means that transgender individuals can legally change their gender by self-declaration alone, without having to undergo a lengthy medical process — including a psychiatric assessment — as under the previous law.
The changes will also see the abolition of a requirement that transgender people must be unable to reproduce. | [

As a Finn, two things really: this should've been a no-brainer from the get go, and I'm glad sensible voices won.
And the best bit is that the endless bullshit "discussion" about this is done. For sure there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth from certain parties for a while, but come summer no one will care about them anymore (though transphobes still gonna transphobe), as the society didn't collapse after all.
Good job folks, from the ones who signed the address to the people who voted yes, thank you. Trans folks, I hope this helps your lives, we cis folks have treated you like shit oftentimes. | [

Since it’s clickbait and the answer is so far down the article, here’s what it is:

I have a screencap somewhere of Klobuchar denouncing testicles. They were discussing commerce so I don't understand HOW YouTube generates their captions but it was hysterical.
I imagine with more use they'll improve, especially with public figured showing them off.
Sort of like how nobody wants to be the first destroyed tank in a war zone, they don't wanna be responsible for Senator Fetterman's misunderstanding of a bill. | [

Good. As a special education teacher who taught students whose cognitive abilities were underestimated until assistive tech became available, this makes me happy to see it become more mainstream and visual. It’s so disheartening to hear people act like Fetterman isn’t capable because of his stroke. His cognitive abilities are fine. It’s like saying that someone isn’t capable of working because they can’t see well, hear well, or walk well without glasses, hearing aids, or a wheelchair. | [

From the article:
Both wired screens will work without internet if needed, relying on the Senate Office of Captioning Services’ stenotype machines, caption encoding hardware, and staff in the Capitol itself.

This quote is commonly used to describe individuals such as MTG, and it's wholly appropriate.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

That's not falling silent, that's moving goal posts, moving to ad hominem attacks, straight gaslighting, concoct tangential strawmen, engage in whataboutisms, etc. The last thing the do is actually fall silent. The worse their position becomes the louder they get. YMMV. | [

You're not understanding. I'm saying when you confront them. In the moment. Not that they aren't a loud ass bunch. At some point they just say, I'm done arguing. Hence, fall silent. Also, look it up yourself is the phrase they use to say they are done arguing as well. | [

This is the part that confuses the hell out of me. It's majority SoP in the US that most standard everyday job applicants (and definitely for federal employees) have a background check that includes verification of claimed degrees/licenses and prior employment. Sometimes that includes a credit check. Specific federal/govt positions that require security clearance are even more stringent. So how did someone seeking a position of power and influence that impacts so many people manage to attain a seat in Congress with no apparent background check? | [

The answer I always get is that people vote them in, so if they weren't qualified, people wouldn't vote for them. Same with a criminal history. If people don't like their crimes, they won't vote for them.
I think every prospective member of Congress and every presidential candidate and VP should be required to pass a background check. | [

Sounds great.
Who administers the background check? Presumably it would be law enforcement, right? The Executive branch?
Now imagine Trump's administration running a background check on Biden during the 2020 general election and declaring him ineligible to run because spins wheel of reasons let's say Hunter Biden's laptop.
And that leads him to win re-election.
Doesn't sound so great any more. | [

I don't think it's that complicated, or at least it shouldn't be. In this particular case (Santos), it would have taken minimal effort to simply confirm whether he held the graduate degrees he claimed, the former employment roles he claimed, and run a credit check. Small HR shops across the country do it on the regular. Maybe they can hire one of them to manage it. | [

It's not that it's complicated, it's that it's rife for corruption. We go through the same thing with the proposals of tests for mental competency. If you enshrine into law a process whereby an incumbent can declare his challenger mentally unfit to be elected, or allow him to replace a member of the opposing faction, it's going to be abused. Think Trump declaring Kagan and Sotomayor mentally unsound and booting them off the Supreme Court. Or removing McCain in response to his vote to preserve the ACA, thus allowing Arizona to replace him with a compliant Senator who rubber-stamps Trump's legislation. | [

I think this confuses the standard candidate fact checking that's conducted based on resume claims (basic admin stuff) with a deep dive into other more subjective elements of an applicant's / candidate's life.

I think this confuses the standard candidate fact checking that's conducted based on resume claims (basic admin stuff) with a deep dive into other more subjective elements of an applicant's / candidate's life.
It's basic admin stuff for a private company because they're the ones in control of hiring. This is an election. The voters ultimately make the decision.
At the very minimum there should be confirmation that an individual hasn't lied about their degrees and former employment / professional experience.
If you sign this standard into law, you're begging for an August 2028 headline on the order of "DeSantis Administration Finds Buttigieg Ineligible For Presidency" on the grounds of not publicly declaring that he mowed lawns for his neighbors as a teenager. | [
