Wayyy past the number of corporate billionaires I'd be comfortable having in politics, and for them to go from lobbying in the background to centre stage is worrying.

Huzzah!

Agree that the expert testimony should be included in the posted article!

I found this article from when the trial was in progress, which includes the testimony for the second request:

https://apnews.com/article/slender-man-girl-stabbed-psychiatric-hospital-6ab1ab144b58540ece9d5b2531833f75

Two psychologists testified Wednesday that a Wisconsin woman who at age 12 stabbed a sixth-grade classmate nearly to death to please the online horror character Slender Man should not be released yet from a psychiatric hospital.

Morgan Geyser, now 21, wants to leave Winnebago Mental Health Institute with conditions. But one psychologist said the case has taken an unusual turn because Geyser claims she had been faking psychotic symptoms, which “doesn’t line up” with years of observation and treatment.

There is a link in the article to an earlier article that covers her 1st request, in which there was an assessment:

Judge Michael Bohren ruled against Morgan Geyser, now 21, despite the testimony of two psychiatrists, including the medical director of Winnebago Mental Health Institute, who said she was ready to depart that hospital and return to the community under certain conditions.

Fuck off with that misogyny, it's 2024.

If it's on-loan, sure.

But this was straight up thievery.

Kevin begs to differ!!

three panel comic from "poorly drawn lines" in which Kevin the Magical Bird is wearing shorts that don't cover his bird ass feathers. 1st panel: Kevin: "Do these shorts looks stupid?" 2nd panel: Grey bird: "I wouldn't say stupid." 3rd panel: Grey bird: "But I would be thinking it."

Same. Thought I saw Chuck E Cheese threatening to eat people on Lemmy before, but I'm pretty baked rn.

Edit: Oh, that's a thing

Edit, Edit: OP said another family member posted it, so I am totally fine to keep smoking all the weed and not worry about the state of my mind 😀

Global News is a terrible sensationalist rag. I'm sorry it's managed to fester outside of Canada.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear the Meterologist on the video in that article specifically explain warming oceans from carbon are causing the increased frequency/intensity.

I think it's evocative of Tom Cruise jumping all over Oprah's couches: we are supposed to read it as Musk is unhinged.

I don't believe this has anything to do with his physical aspects. I am a woman, and I just zoomed in on his shirt to try to read it, the body didn't register as abnormal to me. (It's not.) Those dead eyes though..

TLDR: Loathe Musk for his mind, dgaf about his body.

Ugh.. Dumbasses must've been terrible at Tetris.

But seriously, that box took up so much erroneous space on the transporting vehicle, displacing other boxes that had to move to yet more vehicles. The extra emissions from these failed attempts at protecting the item (which is pushed up against the wall of the box, vulnerable anyways), is sad.

Sorry, I don't know what that means, I don't have Tiktok. I'm talking about the whole article being vapid, just multiple paragraphs that are lists of apps:

It could be Class Dojo, Brightwheel, Bloomz, or TalkingPoints. It could be ClassLink, SchoolStatus, or PowerSchool.

Is it like brand name dropping to keep people's attention or something?

I stopped reading the article after it just became a list of apps. Felt like a thinly veiled ad, and if not, annoying af.

I also read it as anxiety because you go back and forth a lot, second-guessing yourself. Therefore the angel/devil making that kind of motion to saw the head off can be seen as losing your mind.

Also, the creatures escaping the brain are like a panic building, then breaking out to me.

It was back in the 80s
