While I understand the motivation of wanting to support the rights of marginalized groups in society, a term that encompasses all of those groups would be far too unwieldy to be practical or readily recognized.

Solidarity between marginalized groups can be achieved with a term more marketable than an alphabet soup.

It seems like that page might not be taking into account income from other platforms though; it estimates the annual budget as being €4,000, despite the official monthly budget (as listed on their Mastodon blog as of last September) being €1,700.

For the past month a variety of lem.cochrun.xyz accounts have been spamming religious posts (all linking to christianpicturesblog.blogspot.ca) to a variety of unrelated Lemmy communities. Unless @forgetstoshave@lem.cochrun.xyz has an alternative explanation, the posts are likely all from one or a select few lem.cochrun.xyz users seeking to evangelize their beliefs across the Threadiverse, using sock puppet accounts to evade bans.

While they are welcome to post to relevant communities (just as other users are free to block those communities), spamming such content on unrelated communities is unacceptable. While use of the Threadiverse should be encouraged, spam only serves to push new users away, and thus should be handled via the defederation of lem.cochrun.xyz should it continue.

The 'unthinkable' of installing an adblocker or using a frontend?

When the U.S. sends them, they don't send their best.

Not taking a stand against Israel's genocidal actions is taking a stand in favor of it.

It's not that monumental, and still lower than the profits from their actions.

Interestingly, a quick search of the name "Mongol Khan" also leads to the February 1987 NES game Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll (the sprite in this set matches the Mongol Khan listing here). While the name 'Mongol Khan' is about par for the course in terms of Punch Out cultural stereotypes, I wonder if they were perhaps originally planning a crossover?

Alternatively, they could have found out that the name wasn't unique and chose an alternate character idea instead.

Alternative to CBS.

Edit: The Los Angeles Times source had a consent to arbitration pop-up banner for those not using an effective ad blocker, so I switched the link to an ABC San Francisco alternative.
