It's oddly reassuring to see war with Iran going exactly like how everyone has said it would for the last several decades

What if all the money and people's labor and imagination that was poured into carbon capture and storage for the last, i don't know, 20 some years, went into shutting down the fossil fuel system and making sure the few hundred thousand people whose livelihoods are entwined have what they need?

Another reason to support court reform is that the Supreme Court, as constituted, is incapable of functionally administering the law. A court that wasn't captured by far right billionaires would've prevented the government from enforcing these at all.

There is definitely an overlap with the #Accesibility conversation as you talk about medical devices too: scooters, walkers, wheelchairs, and more. What if a mobility scooter has a cart?

There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

Neither option is good
