Benjamin Franklin was 70 when he signed the Declaration of Independence, the oldest person to do so.
If that’s a fact Americans might see as meaningful, the US could cap taking office as President if over 70 on election day (effectively 74 is oldest at end of term), same for the House (oldest 72), Senate (oldest 76), and the Supreme Court… just force retirement at 70 instead of death.
So much for liberté.
A healthy democracy for sure.
Absolutely. So many sensible sized European cars aren’t sold in the US because bullshit market research says small car bad big truck good.
What a terrible headline.
Fixed it: Murderer whose trial riveted the nation.
Pretty sure taking a single billionaire’s jet out of the sky will make more of a difference than anything these certificates could achieve.
Intentional destruction of religious sites such as cemeteries = violation of international law = war crime.
I am become Lemmy, the destroyer of time.
The revolving doors of neoliberalism.
Sufferers of domestic violence with hidden phones is a far more important issue.
At the next GE, look out for Swap My Vote. It’s a good option for those in safe seats. You’d, for example, promise to vote Green/Labour in your safe LD seat, so that a Green/Labour voter in a marginal seat would vote LD to get the Tories out. It’s not perfect (especially now we’ve lost the Labour Party), but it could shake things up enough to be worth the compromise!
Tragic. We came so close to the Labour Party being the party of labour; for the many, not the few.
I still donate to Inkscape each month (please do the same at https://inkscape.org/support-us/donate/), but it became unusable for me on macOS, unfortunately. I now use Serif Affinity.
Inkscape is fantastic on Linux. I’d highly recommend it!
It’s exciting to see history repeating itself and no one doing anything to stop it. /s
