As for the significance of Melania Trump presiding over the Security Council meeting, Dujarric called it “a sign of the importance that the United States feels towards the Security Council and the subject.”

🤔

Ivanka Trump attended the UNGA and had meetings there but did not preside over it.

i absotively posilutely want to see dingledangler become an in-the-swim catch-word again.

(to acknowledge the corn, i had to consult this to write this comment.)

a wifi access point that gets online via a cellular network is called a mobile hotspot, regardless of if it’s running on a phone or a dedicated router device

huh? mobile hotspot is double-bad

Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…

It isn’t reversed compared to how this meme format is usually used: the glasses-on image is on the bottom, and associated with the viewpoint OP is saying is correct/better.

If one hasn’t seen (or has forgotten) the film, this is the way that makes sense, since glasses (generally) improve the wearer’s vision.

This meme’s canonical format is however in fact at odds with the actual scene in the 2002 film:

A related meme form which doesn’t have this ambiguity is the much older they live sunglasses - here the position of the two images are used less consistently (though as with peter parker, usually glasses-on is the lower one) but the glasses being on showing the truth actually fits with how it is in the film.

corollaries to Hanlon’s razor include:

Maduro’s VP has expressed a willingness to cooperate with Trump

What makes you think that? Is your news diet limited to Fox/CNN/NPR/etc?

FYI here is a translation of her speech, and here is the video of it.

Her subsequent statement (on Instagram, in English, and which some media is describing as “conciliatory” while selectively quoting from it) can be read here. When you read it in full you can see she is not recanting her earlier statement and is clearly still not distancing herself from Maduro. She is (consistently with him) imploring the US to follow international law and respect Venezuelan sovereignty.

did the US, just conquer a whole nation overnight?

if you only listen to US media you might think so; at the press conference today Trump said “we’ll run it” as if they already control it, and he also claimed that Vice President (now acting president) Delcy Rodríguez told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that “we’ll do whatever you need”. However, a few hours later:

The Vice President of Venezuela demanded the release of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores during the National Defense Council, reaffirming Maduro as the sole president and at the same time announcing the activation of the Citizen Security Agency and national power to defend independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which they denounce as attacked.

so, no, although the US has kidnapped their president, at this point in time they have not actually conquered the nation.

Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.

Thanks. I’ve edited the post to link to the same source’s text article instead (and linked the corresponding video this post originally linked to in the post body)

I was instance-banned on Lemmy.ml for several weeks for sharing a video.

in the minute immediately following the clip in the tweet in this article, she jokes (while on stage with Erika Kirk) that JD Vance was the assassin

look at their responses in the .ml cross-post,

that post is now deleted, but you can see their modlog here

Obviously the criminal here is the person who asked the question and posted a screenshot of the answer.
