Do you guys remember back when Elon insisted he was a Free Speech Absolutist? How he wanted to ensure nobody was censored on Twitter? That shit just gets funnier every day.
He probably rationalizes it by thinking of Twitter as his personal publishing platform, thus all speech on it is subject to his editorial control. To take away his editorial control would be to violate his free speech rights in his eyes.
Journalists need to stop fucking using Twitter for fucks sake.
If that’s an actual photo from today then I doubt he was grazed much because I skinned my knee biking the day before his rally. I’ve still got a giant scab there.
Also Pete Souza isn’t just anyone. He’s a former director of the White House photo office.
It probably means he’s on blood thinners. You’ll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.
So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.
Could be, but then blood thinners also make the wound heal longer.
I giggle every time I read or hear, “AR Assault Rifle”.
The “AR” in “AR-15” doesn’t stand for “Assault Rifle” though. It stands for “Armalite-15”. Armalite being the company that originally developed the modular firing mechanism that we all know today. Technically speaking, the only part that is legally classified as a gun is the actual firing mechanism that Armalite developed; Everything else (like the barrel, stock, and handle) is just add-ons and accessories.
So yeah, calling it an AR-15 assault rifle would be correct. Though there’s also the debate on what actually constitutes an “assault rifle”, as people seem to just use a “you’ll know it when you see it” rule for identifying assault rifles.
A… rifle. It’s just a rifle. Assault is a term used for sensationalism purposes. Gun control advocacy group decided to use the term, “assault weapons”. This term was first introduced into U.S. language (regarding firearms) in the mid 80s.
Question: As this is no longer a neutral platform, what would be the legal implications? Is Twitter still a neutral carrier (or whatever the proper term is) and enjoys far-reaching legal protections for this?
What’s a “neutral platform”? On Lemmy.world you get banned if you say something bad about israel.
Or Ukraine.
Nah, I see people who shit on ukraine a lot, and are pretty common to see in a lot of places. They have been here for a long time now, and are still going strong. So if higher visibility accounts, that lots of people know about, do it, I am gonna have to assume you either are full of shit, or you saw accounts with the fingerprint of bot behavior getting torched, and just decided it had to be due to having a negative opinion of Ukraine. That, or you are talking about people being out-right racist, or preaching violent rhetoric about it, cause that can get you banned, but it isn’t for the reason you are making it out to be, here.
Yeah I realized it was a Pro-Ukraine community, not the entirety of Lemmy that’s banning people for their views on Ukraine.
Hang on,
this guythe AP seriously took a picture where there is no injury to his ear? What was all the blood then? This one needs independent corroboration.2 weeks is plenty of time for a shallow, skin-only graze to heal. And ear cuts can bleed a ton.
When an octopus gets frightened it releases ink to confuse predators. Due to his love of hamburgers Donnie releases catsup.
Jfc. The tinfoil hat mentality in this thread is insane. GJ conspiracy club.
*Funny how you think tinfoil hats are exclusive to the right. Just accept what happened with Trump that day.
