Hawaii: you're up. Call your House representatives and tell them to oppose SB 2761, which is heading to the House from the Senate: it's a total ban on social media for under-16s, not made any better by the obvious typo in the effective date of 2077. legiscan.com/HI/bill/SB27...

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:

I love that you grabbed your emotional support sticks and string! Please continue to do so as needed!

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

You’re emulating a 40-column green phosphor monitor for an Apple ][c from the 1980’s!

Therefore, all faults are nostalgic retro happy accidents.

Ugh, swatting sucks.

I’m an alum of RRHS and I’m delighted to see you teaching history there!

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

I miss the old days when the CIA did quiet regime change and the GOP knew to throw the Christian Nationalists the occasional convenient bone—rather than the DoD doing splashy assassinations for a demented tyrant and the Christian Nationalists trying and failing to run the DoD.

What will always bemuse me about the US Heresy is that Jesus says that nobody shall know the day or the hour of his return.

This isn’t “did he own his shoes?” level of theoretical heretical debate, this is “but what if we DID know?!”

Well you can’t. Your guy said so. Go pound sand.

This game would 127% be my jam, but Nintendo gonna Nintend.

Jamelle Bouie clearly and quite publicly works very hard to be informed and even-handed and anyone talking about him as if he’s not doing either of those things should shut the fuck up and definitely be widely ignored

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Now more than ever, you don't have to be cutting and pasting batshit posts that you have seen over on That Other Site and also, for fuck's sake, get off That Other Site, again, now more than ever

lmao people worrying about an apple watch in a SCIF when these guys are drawing up war plans in claude and placing side bets with online bookies

A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.

I apologize for initially being somewhat skeptical of Phillip Morris.

In all of our interactions, they made it profoundly clear that they are unequivocally opposed to any and all use of tobacco products and that they remain committed to partnering with us to achieve the best possible outcome.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

It IS adult to be pleased and proud to be able to afford New Good Tools!

Carbon fiber or bone double-point knitting needles get me giddy. :D

Sedevacantism - Wikipedia

Strictly speaking, there already HAVE been schisms over Papal wokeness! Check out “sedevacantism”, where you just say all popes since 1958 aren’t, thereby nullifying Vatican II.

“Scouting America” (fka Boy Scouts) forced to throw their trans members under the bus by our Christian Nationalist SecDef.

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

should also be noted because it just occurred to me that some people might not know: Kansas has strict voter ID laws
