What if women got to participate in public and civic life on dignified and equal terms even if they really were in fact ugly, unmarried, childless, gay, or otherwise broadly sexually unappealing to men? ha ha ha ha ha what if.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Have any of the Democrats done a press conference to say that they want to give millions of dollars to the J6er who sexually abuses children? Because the Republican platform is that they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it?

My mum said she didn't understand my daughter being trans & I told her "you don't have to". She asked me if I understood & I said "I don't have to. It's not my experience, it's hers. My role is to love her & support her every way I can". She stopped asking after a while. I wasn't playing that game

All signs Meta is on its way out even if right now they have profits.

So Trump is just taking the money for his ballroom from California’s Medicaid?

Speaking of why is the option presented X or Bluesky and Threads isn't mentioned? Threads seems busy and active to me.

Fine I’ll jump into the convo about Bluesky to say I agree about the general flaws so I checked out Threads again but that was also insufferable

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

I never thought about Michael Jackson but I saw the biopic. It was definitely a crowd pleaser so I started reading about him. In the beginning, for a few days, I was willing to question the allegations until I really got into it. MJ fans live in one universe (a fantasy) and then there is reality.

The BLM announced a final decision to roll back the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule. The repeal of the rule is a direct attack on endangered, threatened, and at-risk species, and signals a move towards even more extraction and resource development on public lands. 🔗 https://bit.ly/48Wz9yh

Clinging to fossil fuels is like being Blockbuster. 🤷‍♀️

CRYSTAL LAKE will mark the first time in franchise history that an official FRIDAY THE 13TH project has released during the Halloween season. The most common release months for the franchise over the years? May and August. The prequel series premieres October 15 on Peacock.

Other alternate headline. Ticketmaster is charging way too much for concert tickets with their dynamic price gouging and everyone is broke right now.

Waterloo has a root beer float flavor and it is so goooood. On par with their amazing grape flavor. Just a sparkling water update for you.

Or they could make living there something people want to do

Also, we should really just be blaming Trump and Republicans for everything. They are the problem.

They’re all so out of touch and willfully so

You can't celebrate Dr. King's legacy once a year in January and then spend the rest of the year trying to attack and dismantle his legacy.

The Lakers advance to the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time since 2023! They will take on the top-seeded Thunder in Round 2. NBA Playoffs presented by Google

Breaking Olympic news: the survivor in the alleged sexual assault case I’ve been writing about for 2 1/2 years has come forward publicly with her name.

Raw milk as a boutique product is safer than raw milk at scale. But there are real dangers I personally would never risk.

This decision makes it easier for politicians to choose their voters rather than voters choosing their politicians. The result will be a Congress that looks less and less like the country it is supposed to represent, and real people will feel the consequences as soon as November's midterm elections.

Lovely! The Muny is doing Meet Me in St. Louis this year and I so wanted to go, but flights are ridiculous.

Last night @carnage4life.bsky.social accused me of helping perpetuate negative myths about AI. I hate when people perpetuate negative myths about AI, so this thread will be about the very many real harms committed using AI by Dare's employer Meta. 1/

I used to tutor adults that manufactured medicine in reading improvement and English language acquisition (if needed). They had complicated SOPs to follow that they couldn't read. They knew the SOPs, but couldn't read them.

Ballrooms are so old school, reflecting a president too old for the job and deeply out of touch and every time I hear the world, my old Clue game comes to mind.

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I love Spring and the bird drama in my neighborhood.

If pundits tell you that “no one wants to talk about climate anymore”, it’s just not true. Maybe we could try talking about climate differently — focused more on solutions and co-benefits beyond climate — but “climate hushing” is not the right approach.

They feel like Dems don’t care about them because Republicans lied to them 🙄

I think it’s good politics to speak loudly and clearly about the climate crisis. Time to end the climate hushing billmckibben.substack.com/p/lets-talk-...

oh casual fan didn't know it comes out Friday. Exciting

Very cool: Rivian sends old batteries to Redwood, who hooks them all up via its special sauce, and now the batteries are helping power a Rivian manufacturing plant! Closed loop starting to come into sight ...

Wow this ruination goes all the way back to WW 2

Seems like from this statement her plan was always to return home? Regardless, my heart is broken over what this country has become.

Yes they hog land!!! I scream everytime I learn a new development is going to be storage. And yes I used to have a storage unit. Cleaning it out was a long horrible task and I will never do that to myself again.

Man. I was so obsessed with dinosaurs in second grade, I would do multiple extra tasks to earn the Dino giveaways my teacher had. The teenage boys I pick up from school can also have a lengthy convo/debate on dinosaurs.🦕

The Texas Rangers have unveiled a controversial new statue modeled after Jay Banks, a former Texas law enforcement officer known for enforcing school segregation. The unveiling preceded the MLB’s celebration of Jackie Robinson Day, which commemorates the first African American MLB player.

My bank just sent me an email about how to navigate the EV world?

Cesar E. Chavez National Monument is not about one man, but the countless Americans of Latino and Filipino descent who fought for dignity, better working conditions and fair wages. That important history should not and cannot be erased. https://bit.ly/3QnZ7nH

Rape culture

I'm sure this is already happening in Trump's administration given that they took the time to declare the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

This is literally Tupac

Tori Amos and Neil Gaiman were best friends, and he’s mentioned by name in many of her songs. Tori was blindsided and devastated after allegations of Neil being a sexual predator came out. They’re no longer friends and she took him out of her song “Horses” last night: www.tiktok.com/@mrzebra1980...
