Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

SNOW DROUGHT: The Deschutes River Basin is sitting at just 8% of its normal snow water equivalent for this time of year, part of a larger problem plaguing the West this year.

Several bags of trash, lumber, a basketball and other debris floated down Morton Street in Sumas. By noon on Thursday, the cold floodwaters breached dozens of homes and were lapping at the doors of abandoned vehicles. More than 90% of residents were evacuated from the small community on Wednesday.

This is horrible

LOOK AT THAT WATER!!!

Call to action, South Carolinians. Don't let 'em ever say "You saw what was happening, and didn't do anything."

YIKES!

So good
