Two off-duty New York City Police officers and two Utah tourists are being credited with helping to stop the intentional burning of what Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum a "jewel of the city."

    26 year old woman … I totally didn’t see that. I don’t think the article mentioned her party affiliation but I think we can all guess.

      “The name of the woman was released early Friday morning. Atlanta Police identified her as 26-year-old Laneisha Shantrice Henderson.” (From the article)

      I don’t know her party affiliation. Sometimes people have reasons the rest of us cannot understand, it’s not always political.

      I use Boost for Lemmy in Swipe-mode (android). Linked articles are embedded so you don’t have to open and accept cookies and whatnot to read what the post is about.

        Dude I didn’t know Boost existed for lemmy! Boost getting canned is the reason I quit reddit. Thanks for the plug!

        That’s very cool! Do you (or anyone else that wants to answer) know if Sync has a similar feature?

      Oh yeah, tell me about it. I post a lot of articles in various communities, so I probably see more comments that the average user. I cannot overstate how annoying it is to open my inbox to find a deluge of comments from people asking things that are explained within the first sentence or two of an article. Or as in this case, getting the basic facts incorrect because they only read the headline. Lemmy isn’t any different than reddit in that regard.

      Being a “reddit transplant” who took the time to understand what was going on, I think your joke is overplayed and weirdly elitist. Imagine being prideful of not having found Lemmy through Reddit, or whatever it is you’re trying to imply?? lol

      Let’s not pretend that Lemmy is a bastion of intellectuals, and that it’s just former Redditors that are the problem…

      The place where people read the headline and make a bunch of assumptions is called “the whole ass universe”, not reddit. Besides, people who clicked on the article before posting only wanted to fact-check their suspicions because they’re insecure about looking stupid.

    This man has an incurable case of malignant stupidity. The dealership where Malcolm X bought his first car was next on his arson targets list.

        You know, I almost looked first before making my throwaway comment. I thought to myself no way this isn’t a fool of a white boy. It’s not only a woman, it’s a black woman. I did not see that coming. I solemnly swear to be better in the future, because the world is unpredictable.

          They’re local news stations that carry the Fox brand and play Fox TV (Sitcoms, dramas, etc) the rest of the time on the channel. They don’t have to show outwardly reactionary opinions of Fox news or show Tucker Carlson, for example.

            Unfortunately a lot of them are owned by Sinclair, so you still get the reactionary opinions, just in smaller doses from a different company.

            Tucker Carlson isn’t on Fox News anymore. But yes, local Fox stations do not have to show Fox News programming, but Fox News does offer local stations news packages that are generally opinion-free to use in their programming (I used to shoot and edit news for a local Fox station). They’re also not owned by Fox. The one I worked for was owned by NexStar and the same company also owned the local ABC station. They had the same newscasters and shared the same building, but the ABC station used ABC News packages instead.
