The current world chicken population is larger than the planet-wide non-chicken bird population not just today, but at any point in the history of earth.

The idea that the White House didn't figure Iran might try to cut off oil out of the Gulf is comical. They didn't figure for what has now become the fulcrum point of the whole conflict. Iran's leaders are now showing that regime change can work in both directions.

Then any time the courts do slap things down, the supermajority just rewrites the law to make it ok, and run it through with no resistance. Just open blatant corruption and disregard of the citizens of the state. They are speed running fascism and making $$$$$$$ on our backs.

I just don't know what anyone can do in this state. Republicans are running the state fully into the ground and no one is stopping them (kinda sounds federally familiar). Haskins is a full fledged quack who admits in court to drawing out summary cases for political benefit and courts do nothing.

All news from the ed committee is like "ed committee forwards bill where private Christian schools get money for new chefs and Nike sponsorships while public schools get new budget for saw dust and play it again sports membership."

Live Nation Can β€˜Gouge’ Fans on Fees, Ticketing Executives Boast Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc. executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is β€œrobbing them blind” and that β€œthese p...

Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind."

β€œThese people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says.

That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

Y'all, this STATE CONTROLLED SLMPD budget demand is absolutely insane. Of course we knew it would be, but how. dare. they. think that taking money from other city services actually benefits our city? This is a police state budget, not a human, resident-benefitting budget. #STL #fundpeoplenotcops

Missouri under 20+ years of GOP rule has become a state dominated by cops and the rich. It is no safer and most definitely no better off because of it. Citizens are poorer, with less resources, and with less of a voice. It's a dominated state.

Currently, Missouri is one of the worst states in the country for women's health. Here, we see higher rates of maternal mortality, infant mortality, and preterm births than the national average.

There are multiple conflicts of interest on the state-appointed police board, from board members to the lawyers, it is corruption in plain sight. #stl

Even before Trump's friends took over media, the media was rancid at the highest levels.

Live Nation settles US antitrust case Live ​Nation Entertainment β€Œhas ​reached ​a proposed ⁠settlement ​with ​the U.S. Justice ​Department, ​according to β€Œa ⁠court hearing ​on ​Monday.

Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.

The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.

But Trump just let them settle out of court.

The takeover of the cops is going to be the downfall of the city. Just like every community organizer said.

Missouri GOP brain rot in the House and on your screens. "A little bit of sacrifice on the part of Americans" for a war they don't want and didn't ask for.

Hey @rahmemanuel.bsky.social since you love "a blunt style," how about this: fuck off forever. No one wants you in public life anymore except yourself and Republicans. Eat shit. πŸ€™

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Democratic leaders are Republicans. Mitt Romney would be their ideal candidate in 2028 if they could get away with it.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
