A thousand times this!

In the meantime, if someone could post a quick walkthrough on how to easily get from

Point A: A link the looks like “https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing

to

Point B: Community page is opened natively in Jerboa, by way of ‘my’ instance, with the ‘subscribe’ option close at hand.

OT: In Jerboa (lemmy app), why does clicking those community links open in a browser?

My understanding is that if I want to engage with a community on another instance, I need to “go to” that community from my own instance… right?

But when Jerboa opens the community in a browser, I can’t subscribe or anything since at that point I’m “on” the other instance, which of course has no idea who I am.

But perhaps the wildest example of this trend is Baby’s Day Out, the 1994 comedy in which Joe Mantegna tries to kidnap an infant, with near-fatal results.

Respectfully, Defector is about the furthest thing from a spam blog that you’ll find on the internet, my dude/lady.

It was formed a few years back by writers fleeing the sinking ship that was Deadspin.

I’d encourage you to check out some of their other articles and judge for yourself.

Serious question, what are we looking at and/or being mildly infuriated about here?

States can establish religions. Federal government can’t.

Over the last 150 years, the Supreme Court has pretty consistently found that the Bill of Rights applies to state as well as federal government: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights

See especially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everson_v._Board_of_Education:

Everson v. Board of Education … was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that applied the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to state law.

That’s because the US enacted a law called the Wolf Amendment in 2011, which prevents NASA from using government funds to cooperate directly with China.

The board will pay over $15,000 to resolve the suit. That includes $14,845 in attorneys’ fees and costs to FFRF and cooperating counsel. The board will also pay one dollar for nominal damages to The Satanic Temple and $196.71 for various fees previously paid by the Temple in connection with rental reservations that had not yet been refunded.

Further, the Shelby County Board of Education has agreed not to discriminate against the organization with regard to its requests to rent and use school board property at Chimneyrock Elementary School; the Temple will be subject to the same rules and requirements as other nonprofit organizations seeking to rent or use the school’s facilities. In addition, the school board’s administration has promised not to hold any press conference with regard to the Temple’s lawful rental or use of school property.
