84% of Americans support the Endangered Species Act - so why are Members of Congress bowing to the minority of special interest groups to destroy it?

American values are under attack. H.R. 1897 is scheduled to be voted on by the end of tomorrow. The ESA has saved 99% of listed species from extinction, but if H.R. 1897 passes, your favorite animals could be gone forever.

This really is the dumbest timeline.

I feel we owe the movie Idiocracy an apology for calling it 'unrealistic'.

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

Cartoon showing a jungle with dangerous animals. An ape looks a lot like Donald Trump, while a snake has a head resembling Putin. A poisonous frog looks a lot like Netanyahu, while a large spider has the head of Kim Jong Un. In a river swims a crocodile with the head of Xi Jinping. A house in the middle of the jungle has a walled garden and a flagpole with a European flag in it. A man is mowing the lawn as he looks at the various dangerous animals surrounding him.

One Russian paper today claims “Life has become four times more joyous.” Another reports the country’s economic reserves are “largely exhausted.” Plus: “a new drop in the approval rating of the [Russian] authorities.” And who are the Kremlin’s friends in the West? #ReadingRussia

I didn't replace the battery in the smartphone to then go out and buy a new one, after all.

Google's forced obsolescence culture strikes again.

So nice to have apps begin to tell me already that because I don't run Android 14+ features are already beginning to be dropped.

With most manufacturers providing Android updates for 2 years at most, you either have to keep buying a new phone, or go for third-party ROMs.

Guess 3rd-party it is...
