This isn’t contradictory if you believe that both women and children are property

I feel this one in my toes

People are people. Even if you disagree with them, even if they're confusing to you, even if they hurt you. If you watch people doing this, you can see them ripping out part of their soul.

We aren't getting into a better world without *all* of us getting there.

Negative on the TikTok. Hope you'll cross-post.

Again for the people in the back!

I'm excited it's Tallie!

I am not sure my state will stand behind me, to be honest...

Doing my homework, I just rewatched it.

Indeed, this is some great cinema. The battlefield is explained, as are the stakes and the people. There's reconnaissance, and planning. It's not a fight to annihilation, it prompts withdrawals and surrenders, like real life. And it's finite.

I was discussing depictions of space combat in movies and TV today, and while I had at hand good examples of excellent battles in The Expanse, I was countered with the Battle of Proxima III from S4E15 of Babylon 5.

Study: Most Of America's Paint-Only Bike Paths Are On Our Deadliest Roads — Streetsblog USA Even worse, most Americans see these terrible lanes and think, "I'd be crazy to ride a bike" — and the cycle continues.

The largest categorial of American "bike lanes" are little more than lines of paint at the edges of deadly roads — and that lack of quality infrastructure is keeping many would-be riders out of the saddle, a new study confirms.

This would be less scary if science journalists hadn't completely abandoned science in favor of right wing propaganda on youth trans care already.

Dear trans kids, The world is better with you in it and you are worth fighting for.

We have your backs. You're not alone.

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

The Arizona #MeshCore group has today successfully connected Phoenix and Tucson via #LoRA, a feat months in the planning. Tonight, we share memes across relays stretching more than 150 miles.

The subscriber gift from @lookoutnews.bsky.social this time is a super nice custom bar of coffee and lavender soap. I dig it!!

some people are really struggling with the epstein emails because they don't want to admit that the "good" billionaire celebrities they've spent their lives defending weren't taken in by a master manipulator, but rather a barely literate pedophile

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.

I got about forty five minutes of uninterrupted computer gaming time this long weekend. Played more of Baldur's Gate 3.

I also installed a MeshCore repeater on my roof, which took some work, but you know. Gaming.

Things to take my mind off the darkness.
