Missouri is already groveling and kissing boot to the richest people in the state. This pathetic shit is going to create high budget issues and guess what - rich people don’t want to live here thebeaconnews.org/stories/2025...

an impossible game to win and yet a quarter of that effort, were it spent on public good, would vastly improve life for regular people in the state

Missouri is such a perfect case study of the billionaire age - the tough guy Republican car dealership politicians have nothing to do but suck up to elites, who have their pick of every country in the world

Rex’s libertarian billionaire agenda made manifest - healthcare sucks, roads in shambles, no sick leave but the rich get their agenda top of the docket

You’re not getting bulk discounts, you’re walking away with one sad granola bar.

Encouraging people to “be entrepreneurs” and negotiate their own health insurance with a multi-billion-dollar for-profit industry is like telling someone to take their Costco membership fee and go negotiate directly with food manufacturers.

But yeah, funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was just an affront to humanity ... right? 🙄

Well, that was quick. I am being told former SLMPD police chief John Hayden is now interim sheriff.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

SCOOP: USDA says it can’t shuffle funds to extend food assistance during shutdown--but its own plan dated Sept. 30 and since deleted -- says the department would use its multi-year contingency fund to continue paying SNAP during the shutdown www.newsfromthestates.com/article/usda...

Chancellor Andrew Martin confirmed that the private university won't sign the Compat for Academic Excellence in Higher Education in an email sent to faculty senate members on Wednesday.

It's a "national security threat" only if you're a white nationalist. I mean, this whole press conference is totally insane.

They are terrified. They are losing. We have a fundamental right to gather. That’s as American as it gets.

Happy Sunday Scaries!

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

My Nala being so cute

Hey #STL drivers: Stop blocking curbcuts and sidewalks with your vehicles, please. Yes I realize this might mean walking 50 feet here and there. But on the bright side, you won't be forcing people into the street!

Saw this update. Just at the end of my block. Absolutely disgusting someone would do this.

More people should be talking about this.

I had some business to take care of at the DMV and I was in and out of S. Kingshighway DMV in under 15 minutes. It’s a good day today.

it's so convenient to call the data center "infrastructure" when we're ignoring all the people infrastructure - public transit, public housing, public education can all shit - we need data and it's not a bubble!

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

"Because someone died, we have to take away your rights" -- the same pretextual rationale that authoritarians always use

Biggest story in the world, told in the mainstream press perfectly well: AP/PBS headline: TRUMP'S MOVES AGAINST MEDIA OUTLETS MIRROR AUTHORITARIAN APPROACHES TO SILENCING DISSENT www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I am aware of the troubling incident that has unfolded in Franklin Park. This is a developing situation and the people of Illinois deserve a full, factual accounting of what’s happened today to ensure transparency and accountability.

Stephen Miller’s Forehead Vein Lunges Out To Catch Passing Bird

This is Trigger. The pool may be shallow. But his thoughts are deep. 12/10 (via u/hercules25)

And just like that I’ve finished reading by far my favorite book I’ve read all year.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

I thought this was way cool. It’s a fire hydrant painted in Starry Night by Van Gogh in Kirkwood.

It just dawned on me this weekend: I am ONE course away from completing my master’s degree in public health specializing in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness. I have to wait until January to complete my last course because it’s only offered in the spring.

Yesterday, the Post-Dispatch released an opinion piece insinuating that Black Lives Matter did not show up in the wake of the May 16th tornado. (1/3)

The @stltoday.com Editorial board will happily publish ignorant, uninformed opinion pieces, as long as they're critical of people of color #stl

Today is the 11-year anniversary of this image showing what St Louis County folks thought of how cable news covered Ferguson

covid didn't close those restaurants — Rex Sinqfield's chess club and the local landlords did. the whole plan was to make that intersection tailored to high-end retail and they just ended up killing most of it

Lots of folks talking about St. Louis this week - but inviting military forces into any city, red or blue state, is a horrible idea. You think people in our city haven't suffered enough under GOP supermajorities for >20 years?? Come help us rebuild after the tornado, or don't talk about us, please.

Timeline cleanse of my Nala being adorable. Enjoy. Two of my favorite most recent moments.

Now I'm just a simple country lawyer but I think rising temperatures, more powerful hurricanes, more wildfires, more infectious diseases and droughts are bad for public health
