A good way to protect nature is not to build a fucking detached house in it! Just visit it from your urban home!

Everyone knows the way you change the Constitution is to have six people in robes make up a new Constitution as they go along.
Pogo is standing in the swamp collecting littler, which is everywhere, and saying “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Living in a dense urbanized city is one of the best choices you can make to protect the planet - a fun fact you can deploy against people who want to get all self-righteous about the supposed evils of cities.
I once had a guy look me in the face and say "One person, one vote is unfair, why should cities get more votes in a democracy?" It genuinely felt like I was having a stroke and the guy had no idea how stupid the shit that just fell out of his mouth was.

i tried to watch a hockey game tonight but had to turn it off pretty quickly. within one minute flat they'd already broken basically every rule of basketball
What he's saying is stupid, but he is now welcome to go cry about it.
we are seeing the results of letting the rurals run everything and it’s Pretty Shit
Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
Great work to all parties that didn’t go, including the head coach lol

My mom's cat is an absolute unit. If I can get a picture from the side, you'll see lawd, she coming.
The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
I have opposed gerrymandering every single time it has come up. It’s a perversion of the political process. I voted Yes in this election without hesitation. Unilateral disarmament is unacceptable.
Fun Trivia: the original 70s STEPFORD WIVES film is unavailable in any current format because in the 70s a lot of companies with too much money diversified by buying film companies. Most soon realized what a bad idea that was, but Bristol Myers held onto the rights for some reason.
THREAD. Tash is 34, her scoring has dropped in the last few years, and I doubt would sign for a vet min. She's far from the only vet who is unsigned, and it's more of a sign of the middle class in sports being squeezed.
Officially official: Columbus is your 18th NWSL team.
All it cost was $205 million in expansion fees, and a neighborhood park that City Council has vowed to replace.
this is both extremely hilarious and unlikely to move a single vote
Certainly not to the players
genuinely disgusting the expansion fees are that high and owners are quibbling over a $1m player salary cap raise
I mean, it was a dumb strategy! It just wasn't a total capitulation to Republicans that people like to paint it as.
She should have vocally opposed the genocide because that would have been the moral thing to do. But I think it's very uncertain that would have won her the election. She would have gained some pro-Palestinian votes, but lost some pro-Israel votes.
Honestly this obsessive fixation on a minor and unsuccessful campaign strategy is so tiresome. You would think Cheney was Harris's campaign manager, rather than showing up at a handful of events.
This is ridiculous. Liz Cheney didn't work with Harris's campaign because she loved Harris's policies. She did it because stopping Trump was her number one priority. I have no interest in handing it to Liz Cheney, but that was he motivation. This is not secret or obscure information.
Fishlock scoring at Portland in only the second weekend of the NWSL’s existence back in 2013, then slapping the crest and gesturing in defiance to 16,000 hostile fans, set the tone both for the Cascadia rivalry and for the league as a whole.
I always enjoy when Backerkit says it's found a better address for me than the one I picked, and it's just my regular address but in all caps. It's like buying stuff from the Beastie Boys
You're sanctimoniously declaring your devotion to the Queensberry rules while your opponent is slamming brass knuckles into your junk.

Well deserved for Japan.
