"OSNews uses a cookie popup and displays advertising, something we have to do to gain a little bit of extra income – but I’m not happy about it. Our ads don’t provide us with much income, perhaps about €150-200, but that’s still a decent enough chunk of our income pie that we need it. I would greatly prefer we turn off these ads altogether, but in order to be able to afford that, we’d need to up our Patreon income. OSNews Patreons get an ad-free version of OSNews.
That’s a long and slow process, especially with the current economic uncertainty making people reconsider their expenses. Disabling our ads altogether for everyone once we’re fully reader-funded is still my end goal, but until the world around us settles down a bit, that’s a little while off. If you want to speed this process up – you can become an OSNews Patreon and enjoy an ad-free OSNews today."

Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 18th May 2025
Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Think about it. What have they been pushing AI abilities in? Planning, strategizing, research, analyzing information, etc. What do they keep screwing up? Execution. Details. Accurately imitating a real human being. Now what kind of job are those skills and weaknesses suited for?
I think the implications are clear.

Republicans passed a law stripping the power to appoint election board members from North Carolina’s (D) governor and gave it to (R) auditor
The board oversees virtually every aspect of state elections, large and small, from setting rules dictating what makes ballots valid or invalid to monitoring compliance with campaign finance laws. In the Supreme Court race, it consistently worked to block Griffin’s challenges.
When Josh Stein won a four-year term last fall, a Republican supermajority in the state legislature passed a law, then overrode his predecessor’s veto, to transfer this power to the state auditor. It was an unusual step. No other state has elections overseen by the state auditor.
Stein sued to block the law and, initially, a lower court sided with him. But in April, the state’s Court of Appeals, which has a Republican majority, issued a three-sentence decision overturning the lower court’s ruling without hearing oral arguments.
After N.C. Supreme Court Win, Democrats Lose Control of Board That Sets Voting Rules
Republican Jefferson Griffin conceded after a monthslong legal battle. But Democrats suffered a defeat that may be more consequential: losing control of the state board that sets voting rules and adjudicates election disputes.ProPublica

Ukraine is ready for swift steps towards real peace, and it’s crucial the world stays firm. Our position: if Russia refuses full and unconditional ceasefire and stopping killings, strong sanctions must follow. Pressure on Russia must remain until they are ready to end the war.

#BenCohen from #BenAndJerrys disrupts #RFKjrHearing and was violently removed from hearing along with other protesters as he said,' Congress pays for bombs that kill citizens in #Gaza 🇵🇸... '
If I'm wrong correct me, but if I heard it correctly on #DemocracyNow, the rest of his statement was about how Congress kills citizens in Gaza whilst allowing #Medicaid cuts to kill people in the U.S.
#BrainWormBobby #MAGAOUTofUSgovernement
If there's anyone in the United States who knows a person working for the #CapitolPolice, sternly tell them that it's the #farright U.S. Nazi Party and their #MAGAMorons (#J6) who are their enemies, not unarmed 74 year old Ben Cohen and unarmed protesters!

En el centro de la imagen, una mujer vestida con una túnica negra y un tocado de ramas de antílope sostiene un bastón de madera. Su atuendo y el entorno sugieren una celebración o ceremonia, posiblemente relacionada con la cultura druida o pagana. Alrededor de ella, varias personas, algunas con vestimentas tradicionales, caminan o se agrupan, creando una atmósfera de comunidad y espiritualidad. El cielo está despejado, y la luz del día ilumina el escenario, destacando la piedra circular de Stonehenge en el fondo.
