I once interviewed an expert on oil consumption that focused on consumers. He said low gas prices are a religion for Americans and they will do absolutely nonsensical things to access them, like drive miles and miles out of their way.

If you wanna lose votes as fast as possible, raise gas prices.

I guess now we know why the US decided to colonize Venezuela earlier this year.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

The story at this point is why folks of color in Maine, who are quite familiar with our current governor and Senate candidate, Janet Mills, aren't feeling her. Why are so many of us still leaning towards Platner?

There's some real interesting observations as a Mainer about who we support.

One of those girls was my mom. She was locked away for 6 months, forced to work, and made to pay for her room/board. Three days after my birth, they got her signature on the relinquish papers and put her on a bus back to my grandmother's. I was sold to the next couple on the #adoption agencies list.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

I VIVIDLY remember the first time someone turned these on for a client call and it *recorded two people at the agency bad mouthing the client* before the client got on the call, and then the notes were automatically *sent out afterwards to ALL PARTICIPANTS.* 😆

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW EVERYONE IS TURNING ON THE AI SURVEILLANCE TOOLS - SORRY, NOTE TAKERS - IN EVERY.FUCKING.CALL. NOW!!!!

I also have never seen a professional, but I love this creator on TikTok because she talks about it on that level.

Can you get more fucking condescending in that tone? Do you think?

How to get me to decide that I don't actually want to join your event:

Eventbrite is glitching out when I went back in for a screenshot.

I "ordered" the tickets, then got to a page asking for more info. No problem.

Until most of the way down the screen, we came across the problem. And I just noped out of there!

Then realized I should have screenshot it 🤣

The reason why the Ayatollah was in power is because of the United States.

That's my TED talk.

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

Twitter conversation between sj and Amarion: sj: Its true, the 1/3rd pounder burger failed in the US because ppl thought quarter pounders were bigger Amarion: Yeah cause they are???? sj: 1/3>1/4 .33> .25 Amarion: what are those signs

Wanna see the greatest tweet of all time

Fuck it, one last thing to make clear: I was overwhelmed by the thoughts of the monstrous men, yes. But also by the "good" men who stand by & do nothing: The USA men's hockey team laughing along to misogynistic jokes; the men who don't agree but won't check their boys, etc. You're also the problem.

One more thing to add: Men don't realize how much psychic damage it causes women every day to know that y'all voted a rapist back into the White House, and to now have confirmed that not only did he rape women, but little girls, too. He's a monster who hates women & most of you were fine with it.

the fact that we're finally learning just how very many men in this world, particularly in this country, HATE us. Genuinely HATE women, want us all dead, want us to be subdued, want us to never dance with wild abandon like that woman on the dancefloor ever again – it all just hit me in one blow. 6/x

Fed and housed people AND trains probably

There is literally no point in talking to people who excuse or otherwise try to justify the murder of children.

I think it's weird to constrain this commentary to mommy bloggers when most of the anti-vaxxers in our federal govt right now are male. Joe Rogan is spewing anti-Vaxx stuff. A lot of you aren't on fitness tiktok and the bro atmosphere and misinformation over there is vile.

Casey Means is poised to become US Surgeon General and Joseph Ladapo, the SG of Florida, is anti-vaxx and pro-COVID.

Not just the mommies, not just the bloggers.

The picture shows a needle made of bone, it resembles its modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures!

This sewing needle was made from animal bone some 13,000 years ago.

Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start

News I missed!

Recently, Korea banned ticket reselling.

If you try to resell a concert/play/game/event ticket for more than you paid, the fine is 50X what you tried to charge. Anyone can turn you in and collect 10%.

So long, scalpers.
(Apparently BTS tickets were up to 11k until this passed)
