The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.

“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."

The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.

Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.

I get that this isn't what they're saying, but it really does feel like it. Talk to any immigrant and you'll realize they're usually incredibly proud of their heritage and the challenges they faced in coming to the US.

Saying its bad optics to be proud of your origins feels like it stands against the reason for these protests in the first place. Latinos, legal or not, are members of our community and deserve to be treated like humans.

How are you going to pretend to advocate for a community and ask them to hide and not express themselves? In diverse cities you see flags from different nationalities everywhere. This is some white savior shit if I've ever seen it. "It'll be easier to save you if you weren't so you".

I'm beyond sick of seeing this sentiment.

Who gives a shit what some brainwashed xenophobic white Trump supporter in middle America thinks? These are the same people who claim they would hate gay people less "if they weren't so in your face about it". America is diverse and they need to get over it.

DJT has done his best to portray all Latinos as rapists, drug dealers and murderers. Going into hiding and pretending to not be Latino is not the answer. This is a great opportunity to show the extent of the diversity that makes America great, along with showing how many citizens/members of the community have roots abroad. We are members of this country the same as you are and we will be visible in the community and stay proud of our heritage.

We should not be watering down our message to appeal to the unredeemable.

Linus wouldn't sugarcoat it either.

A decent camera only vision system should still be able to detect the wall. I was actually shocked at the fact that Tesla failed this test so egregiously.

If you use two side by side cameras you can determine distance to a feature by calculating the offset in position of the feature between the two camera images. I had always assumed this was how Tesla planned to achieve camera only FSD, but that would make too much sense.

Even if they wanted to avoid any redundant hardware and only go with one camera for each direction, there is still a chance they could've avoided this kind of issue if they used structure through motion, but that's much harder to do if the objects could be moving.

I use a VPN and have never had issues connecting to lemmy.world despite regularly having issues with YouTube and Reddit. I wonder if its specific VPN networks or blacklisted IPs that lemmy.world doesn't like.

There's gotta be an extension that does do a good job, right?

From the article:

According to EarthSky, this comet (known colloquially as Comet A3, for obvious reasons) is special, as it’s the brightest to cross our planet’s sky in 27 years, leading some to dub it the Comet of the Century.

We were able to see it with the naked eye. Our area has less light pollution than most, but still very much not a dark zone.

Wait long enough after sundown that it gets pretty dark. Even if its lower in the horizon, it'll be easier to see if it's still in your field of view.

I went to the beach with some friends to watch at sunset. We kept looking for it. Even using Stellarium and binoculars we didn't see it and assumed it was too low to the horizon and obscured by haze.

It got dark. We figured we weren't gonna see it. We started looking at the other stars/constellations as they became visible with advanced darkness. We were just about to pack up and go home when we realized we could plainly see it!

Less shock value -> less publicity -> less people thinking about your message

Should everyone go destroy art galleries? Housing crisis = art destruction?

Do you not agree? Over half a million homeless are without homes. People are dying, and the homeless are largely being dehumanized or ignored. There is a very real human cost far beyond a piece of art or the barrier protecting it.

If you're looking for objective quantifiable criteria on right vs wrong, you'll never find it. Morality often falls into a grey area involving tradeoffs, but bringing attention to a societal issue with huge human costs just for splashing soup on a plastic barrier seems pretty effective to me.

Reminds me of the beginning of the pandemic when he tried to dismiss the initial uptick in covid cases as a migrant worker problem.
