Politicians and journalists on X keep referencing right-wing obscurities as major political issues, and keep framing major political issues of the day from a right-wing perspective. Getting your perspective from X is even worse and is more misleading than mindlessly following polling numbers.

We're going to be opening about 20 minutes late.
Partly because of this one, so... Enjoy some curls.

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβ€”and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Shouldn't the teens in the second Jumanji movie never have gone in, since the 90s dude was the one who started it?

Based on the first movie, yknow? Since Alan never disappeared, the kids never played the game shouldn't it be the same?

Asking the big questions here.

Covid is going around a group I'm involved with, and guess what I'm learning? The copay for Paxlovid is super high for some insurance ($1K) and not covered by others. America: so great!!! 😷😷😷

PS The folks I know who are sick are vaxxed & regular mask wearers. Prevention is great, but SO ARE MEDS.

I think the Republicans being pro-gets-no-bitches is why they have a bunch of losers who get no bitches.

I shouldn't post this...
Like.. It's such a rude and dumb take.

It's kinda mean and it doesn't actually do anything to help the issue I point out... But it bothers me so so so much!
But I simply can't contribute to complaining about totally inconsequential garbage!!

Do we get to hold all Christians accountable for this? Do opinion writers for big newspapers get to accost nuns on the street and demand "what are you doing to fix this?" Do we get to picket churches on Sundays? Also no?

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

T-Rex: We divide up the oceans into different oceans, but c'mon - it's all the same ocean!

T-Rex: We divide up the planet into different countries, but it's all the same planet! And we divide us all up into these groups, but WE'RE ALL THE SAME SPECIES!
Dromiceiomimus: I'm not.
T-Rex: Okay, fine, we're all the same CLADE! A clade, of course, being a monophyletic group of organisms sharing the same common ancestor.
Dromiceiomimus: Of course!

Utahraptor: But pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, so they're not part of the same clade as us.
T-Rex: EUGH!

T-Rex: Utahraptor, I am TRYING to achieve some sort of ENLIGHTENMENT here, and instead I'm being bogged down in CLADE DEFINITIONS. How about this: we're all LIFE, so we're all in this together. Ruin that!!
Utahraptor: This would be much more compelling if I didn't have to devour other forms of life to maintain my own.

If you adore the book about a dystopian future where entertainment has replaced information, why not buy a very expensive statue based on it?

Yeah, yeah... That sounds right.

What made lyft drivers stop playing music?
The last few months I feel like almost every ride I've gotten had just been some total silent weird little drive.

Not saying I loved every musical choice I've experienced but the lack of noise is sooooo weird....

Anyone? Is it a policy?

from the entire body of American bishops! an exceedingly conservative group of old dudes! they can’t write this off as Woke Pope Francis/Leo shit. bishops wield a lot of authority over their dioceses so among other things they don’t want this smoke in an election year where ICE is already THE topic
