Rotifers are multicellular animals and have organs, and they are a lot smaller than this. Maybe not as cute though.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can't the American people just denounce the Supreme Court?English
52·3 months agoThere aren’t really any ways to remove SC justices in the law. Thats exactly why we on the left have been raising concern about these appointees for so long.
Well, they can hypothetically be impeached, but that’s unlikely to happen with the current Congress.
For wayland applications you can try
waypipetoo, which I’ve found works for most things.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Senior Israeli official flees US following arrest over paedophiliaEnglish
6·4 months agoYes, it does guarantee that. But you’re still going to be in jail for weeks to months until your trial is concluded. Many people have been held for years in pretrial detention before being released.
How long would your job keep you on payroll if you were arrested and held in jail? How long would you be able to pay rent or provide for your children? Even a few weeks is enough to be devastating to most people.
In 2019 the average pretrial detention for felonies in New York State was 10 months.

11·4 months agoThere should be no chance of bail for crimes against children
I am not saying I have a better solution, but how long do you think it would take for such a rule to be used to lock up trans people or drag queens?

9·4 months agoI agree that the bail system is bad (both practically and morally).
To be clear though, people on bail have not yet been demonstrated in court to be guilty of the crimes they’ve been accused of. I don’t think locking up anyone accused of a crime while they await trial (which could be years) is an improvement.

5·4 months agoThat’s not capitalism, that’s a market.
I heard a saying once (I cannot remember the provenance) that could be paraphrased like: “The liberal is someone who is for all movements except the current movement; against all wars except the current war.”
There are two important points:
- Every major movement in history has incorporated elements of violence;
- Which movements we retroactively consider as violent is determined by sociological consensus.
For example, the American civil rights movement is today considered by people to have been largely non-violent. However at the time the movement’s opponents definitely thought of, and portrayed it as a violent enterprise.
Opponents of a movement will always portray that movement as violent. The status-quo consensus perspective on historical protests is written by the victors. Therefore, the hypothesis that “non-violent” protests are more likely to succeed than “violent” ones is self-fulfilling. When protest movements succeed we are less likely to consider them “violent”.

Technology@beehaw.org•IRS Makes Direct File Software Open Source After Trump Tried to Kill ItEnglish
9·6 months agoThey are referring to some fringe “tax protester” conspiracy theories which dispute that the 16th amendment was properly ratified. You can read about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_protester_Sixteenth_Amendment_arguments#Sixteenth_Amendment_ratification
Suffice it to say, these ‘theories’ have been largely rejected, including by the states themselves, and by the SCOTUS.
