the voting rights act actually worked, which is why the conservative legal movement immediately went to work on dismantling it this has been the focus of john roberts' entire legal career

Working in a creative field has taught me a lot of valuable skills I wouldn't have learned otherwise, but this one has been the most helpful:

Shit like this is why god doesn’t talk to us anymore

Ah yes, Disney, that notably poor company which desperately fears legal action.

Accommodate is my white whale. How many Cs? How many Ms? Is that an A or an O? Good luck!

"Join the Empire," they said. "Train to be the best of the best," they said.

Freezing cold take: If an officer is fired for misuse of their position, they should be inelegible to be hired for any law enforcement position for, say, 5 years. Not transferred to another diocese, as it were. Or at least, the hiring entity should have to take responsibility for their known record.

please do not commit any federal crimes that would lead me to feeling a deep sense of embarrassment after finding out you read my posts

Just wrapping up a seven-week contract which was downright frightening at times. Last day, and I'm cool as a cucumber which was taken out of the crisper drawer about fifteen minutes ago.

Okay, I did more reading on it, and this is almost certainly the globemallow bee, a solitary native bee which specializes in this plant family. Females dig little nests, but these are males, which don’t have nests and just sleep in the flowers!

It was a mistake to leave me unsupervised.

Does…does he think the Hagia Sophia is in Charleston?

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately

You know what would be really crazy? If someone made a Star Wars game that never went anywhere near Tatooine.

Imagine making AI slop when pelicans are already cursed.

It is genuinely wild how the GOP can insult Canada for over a year non-stop and then get angry about being "disrespected"

I am just imagining a thousand math teachers flipping their tables in slow motion like Alan Rickman.

Imagine making AI bird slop when great blue herons already exist.

we all know I have no life, so:

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of - new account fatigue - new app fatigue - useless upgrade fatigue - terms of service fatigue

I'm pressing R but it's not working??

Hey what happened the last 20 times we expanded lane capacity on a highway? It attracted more traffic and the problem remained. The only solution to traffic is alternative transportation.

They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years It's the wrong question to ask And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in

Okay, on the one hand, running upright is hard! The designers did a genuinely impressive thing here! On the other, I’m not sure “look how much faster than a human it can go” is terribly interesting framing. Lots of things go faster than humans, and it just gets people’s backs up.

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

extremely wild for the pull quote to not mention that he specifically says he has gotten this information by talking to CEOs

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

When they said "AI will increase productivity" I didn't realize they meant "AI code will crash the social media networks on which I procrastinate, forcing me to actually do my job"

Watching and sharing leaks hurts everyone EXCEPT the studio. The show's staff: -Don't get to experience the euphoria of seeing people react en masse to their work (one of the only things that keeps me going some days) -Get critiqued on unfinished work -Get side-eyed for possibly being the leaker

Bad news - we'll soon blow through the carbon budget for stabilizing global temperature at 1.5C Good news - progress on clean energy suggests it is possible to stabilize by 2C www.nature.com/articles/s41... What does the science say? Neither is a magic threshold. Every bit of warming matters.

Your bit of good news for the day

I swear kooky homey products that say "live laugh love" style stuff start having messages that sound more desperate. More about barely hanging on and drinking a ton of wine.

Republicans out here making bad-faith arguments and bad faith-arguments at the same time

“I don’t want to see the pope as a politician” lady I got some news for you about how you get elected pope by a conclave of powerful men who all have strong opinions on how one of the oldest institutions in the world should be run

Does anybody remember when teen pregnancy was a huge boogeyman of the right? They had all these purity dances and whatnot? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

"Digger-mousie is ever killing anyone? Then Digger-mousie is not knowing. Is killing. Is wrongness. Even if needed, even if only thing to be doing, is a badness."

Bluebird posting will continue until morale improves 🪶

In order to protect our men, we’ve constructed a labyrinth and trapped Jolene inside it

... okay, I'll share ONE MEME.

Real Estate: Never Mind, It’s An Airbnb Now

Ah, the new impostor syndrome: the fear that if you repost too much and don't make your own posts, people will start thinking you're a bot...

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.

transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

Me too, towhee friend. Hang in there #birds 🌿

I agree, avoid people who just post cute stuff. That's why I post a mix of cute stuff and doom.

All you fascists bound to lose.
