OK I admit it, Steve has groove.

A silly simple pen drawing of a paper-clip-shaped ammonite with eyes like those of Clippy the office assistant. A speech bubble reads "It looks like you're evolving. Would you like help?"
Yes yes yes
Please report how it went.

Anyone else having weird issues woth olautocorre t?
I'm leaving that sentence as is because it illustrates my frustration. I know I fat finger, but woth is not a word and I'm kind of confused why autocorrect can't figure that out.
Please stop doing that, Steve...
Ok, Reddit's version of autocorrect just suggested i change a word to exactly what I had typed.
Screenshot of a post by Marco Foster on X quoting Representative Jason Crow. The quote describes Crow, a combat veteran, criticizing Donald Trump for advocating putting boots on the ground in Venezuela and saying that when elites promote war, young people bear the cost. Below the text is an MSNBC video still from The Weekend. Jason Crow appears on screen wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking animatedly. A city skyline graphic is visible behind him, and a lower-third banner reads “Actions in Venezuela raise new legal questions.”
Well said.
Screenshot of a NewsWire post on X displaying a headline stating that U.S. vaccination rates are declining and that no county in Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, or Wisconsin has reached kindergarten herd immunity. The headline cites The Washington Post and appears on a plain background without an accompanying photo.
Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.
Thou shalt ban sports betting and put “Draft Kings” and their ilk the fuck out of business.

Photo of a Black-capped Chickadee by Chad Hordewel. A speech bubble from the bird's mouth says "Hi, I'm gijigijigaaneshiinh"
🪶 In the Ojibwe language, the word for chickadee is gijigijigaaneshiinh. To hear it pronounced (it sounds really cool) visit ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/m...
If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Tweet from @TheDemocrats: “Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans. This is the fifth time they’ve done this. Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.” There’s no attached image or video, only text.
Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.
Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.
It. Is. Goddamn. October.
Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.
This is bad
T. Roosevelt 2010- "“We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.”
We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself.
Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations.
That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

Don’t let this make you quieter.
Get louder.
Education is the enemy of fascism.
This is fascism.
The fact that it's in response to a brutal & unacceptable murder (the motives of which are still unknown!) doesn't mean that it isn't fascism. It is terrifying and un-American.

The Pope is exactly right.
No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care.
We can and must do better.
