The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

oomfs meeting irl

ten years ago north carolina's bathroom ban drew universal condemnation, and a coordinated boycott led to significant economic harm to the state, which ultimately led NC to rescind the effort. hard to overstate how much things have backslid on trans rights in just one short decade

4 years estrogen!!! never give up💙🩷🤍

Gov. Jared Polis, fresh off being censured by the Colorado Democratic Party for letting Tina Peters out of prison early, showed up today to a private, internal party call like this #copolitics

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Breaking news: King County Executive Girmay Zahilay throws his support behind diverting $100 million from transit projects for a massive parking garage in Renton.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

I thought *I* was the fruity, floral drink of the summer!

delightful! love these kinds of stories

NEW: Chicago police responded 4 minutes faster to the most serious 911 calls for help in the 6 months after Mayor Brandon Johnson scrapped the city’s controversial ShotSpotter gunshot detection system in 12 South & West side neighborhoods, an analysis of Chicago crime data shows. @wttw.bsky.social

Huh, So that's who they named the @amtrak.com service after... 🤣

look, I did not watch the Perils of Penelope Pitstop at a crucial point in my development to NOT get it.

some jokes write themselves

I’m a bit rusty but please remind me if it’s a good economic indicator that PlutoTV is running ads where a woman is trying to buy food for her children but can’t afford it so an older woman pulls her aside and introduces her to a slot machine app.

As Jabba the Hutt's son I'm often gatekept from progressive spaces due to preconceived notions about my family. At the same time, I acknowledge the reasonable concerns my presence would raise, and I'm working every day to unlearn the harmful attitudes instilled in me on my father's pleasure barge.

I gotta be honest, I think that the health secretary is thinking about my penis too much.

"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

When you are short and adorable, you have to be tough. Nobody takes you seriously unless they know you're ruthless.

@jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay i can't believe you left the dodge charger daytona off your list of semi-reasonably-priced ev sedans

This kinda whips as a daily

Undecided and swing voters don't exist, they're just republicans who are embarrassed about it

this picture is so fucking funny, construction on the machine from contact begins at the white house

movie night: finally watching this one, maybe they pull it off idk

Imagine being a Luddite if the steam loom didn't actually work for shit but bosses just pretended it did.

I helped on this one. I found one of the shooters active in an incel forum complaining about being short, attacking women and giving advice on self-harm. The shooters weren't nihilist. They're representative of the ties between incels and white power that's fueled by the great replacement theory.

Ah yeah not quite it's because the foreskin is a natural dampener at one of the body's locii, so high-pitched noises don't resonate as much which means one of the common symptoms of autism presents more than it otherwise would, but that's an issue with diagnosis not the actual prevalence.

he's not perfect but i think at this point you do, in fact, have to hand it to him

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

Delusional as usual from the White House. Americans are spending more because everything costs more, thanks to the President.

Steak ‘n Shake now has a Bitcoin-flavored milkshake. They are desperately trying to survive by becoming the #1 fast food chain for RFK-worshipping idiots with a heart-disease related death wish.

postage stamps

once more, with feeling this time

“The plan will essentially transform school buses into roaming surveillance vehicles, taking a technology that was originally designed to issue tickets to people illegally passing stopped buses and using it for much wider and general law enforcement, likely without a warrant.”

Okay last Luce post of the night the good news is I fixed it

I think the Ferrari Luce is a very interesting French concept car

Tomato, tomato.

There is no decision any city can make more catastrophically stupid than running a f'ing interstate right through the middle of itself. It's just one of the fatefully stupid decisions Seattle has made, but it might be the worst.

“Bus passenger numbers in Auckland are back to levels not seen since before the Covid epidemic, due in part to the ongoing fuel crisis.” “Public transport advocates said the city & the gov’t should be capitalising on the chance to make the change permanent.” To be clear, EVERY CITY SHOULD DO THAT.

conservatives are pedophiles. their policies enable pedophilia

Grogu! No!

In the interest of advancing the cause of SCIENCE I have created a poll for everyone (no paywall) to vote in: do you like the looks of the new Ferrari Luce? www.patreon.com/posts/159239... Thank you for your attention to this matter!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
