“What are you in for?”

“Felony bralessness”

Decided to do a little more digging to learn more about those 2020 Biden voters who skipped 2024, why they skipped, and what sort of message might win them back, and found this helpful research by Celinda Lake from last year: waytowin.docsend.com/view/rnv5spt...

Also, his position on funding CalOSHA.
bsky.app/profile/melb...

I’ve talked to farmworkers who have called OSHA to report unsafe work/heat conditions in the fields and been hung up on by staffers more than once

This is an agency that must be funded and staffed well in order to function and it’s my understanding that the political will needed to do that is zero

“Instead of site visits, Cal/OSHA merely sends a letter to employers so that they can “self-inspect” and report their conclusions back to Cal/OSHA. These “letter investigations” now account for 60% of Cal/OSHA enforcement actions.”

😬😬

Perfect video, no notes, be sure to watch to the end. Also, a commenter pointed out that the dude is listening to Don McLean which he certainly is. One star for him?

I'm out here trying to discuss the long-term impact of the Tribune of the Plebs and whether it condemned the Republic or helped it navigate its early challenges. But all women want to talk about is the Jacquard loom smdh

high frequency topics, like ham radio

Prestige TV series in which someone kidnaps a bunch of these guys & puts them in a basement where they have to read a volume of Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire each week & whoever fails the worst gets horribly murdered in an authentically Roman way.

If you're 25-30, and your main circle isn't frequently discussing:

- Grade-A copper ingots
- Trade routes to Dilmun
- Filing formal grievances on clay tablets

And is instead discussing:

- Accepting substandard ore from Sit-Sin
- Being rude to messengers

It's time to elevate your friend circle.

"men only want to talk about ancient rome but women only want to talk about the industrial revolution" awww yeah NOW we're gendermaxxing baby

LIVE Updated 3 minutes ago Trump Administration Live Updates: Civil Rights Group Says It Is Under Investigation by Justice Dept.

A few weeks ago the President called environmentalists “terrorists”; now, it seems, the The Southern Poverty Law Center is being investigated by the Justice Department for its work.

This is how they’re doing it: not all at once, but in dribs and drabs, normalizing the criminalization of democracy.

Fear is a fundamental emotion. It goes straight to the lizard brain and can be either paralyzing or extremely motivating. Experiences you have that are connected to strong emotions are more memorable so right wing lies are more sticky in the brain.

This has been the strategy since early Fox News.

Mike Krzyzewski's Grandson Charged In Fatal DWI Crash, 15-Year-Old Boy Dead 1:32 PM PT -- Savarino has posted bail and is out of jail, according to online records.

Coach K's grandson got behind the wheel - while drunk - and killed a 15-year old kid riding a bike over the weekend... today he was charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony.

Really?!?

An administration that loves cars and fossil fuel company profits (and bribes) way more than they love their, or anyone's, children.

Lemme introduce you to my chariot, which moves 1 million butts per day.

In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.

Can someone explain why the UK seems to be the world's leader in well meaning but extremely stupid in execution legislation?

The Trump-Flavored Content Administration Understanding the administration as a content mill

Anyway this is what you get when you have a SecDef from a morning show who only cares about “lethality”, a military campaign whose only objective is creating death to put on TV. We’re bombing Iran so we can say we’re bombing Iran and put dead Iranians and rubble on TV. It’s not war, it’s content.

“It’s okay if I’m getting scammed because I feel bad about the world” is another example of the political hairshirt that a lot of people are wearing right now

Agree with Joel here. The idea that Americans rejected a new equilibrium of higher prices but even higher wages is bad for the prospects for social democracy, but the fact that most of the price increases were a supply chain crisis rather than from public spending should temper our fears!

I don’t think Platner is doing a Nazi salute. I do think this is why you don’t nominate the guy who had a Nazi tattoo for years.

What insensitive, cruel, Democratic-coded Means Testing Makes Us Look More Fair horrible people are behind this?

Real-world communities formed around geography: complicated, messy, lots of grey areas, people are difficult and will make you feel weird

Online communities formed around feeling self-righteous about the same thing: simple, everyone is on the same side, will constantly validate your feelings

People aren’t posting or reading posts to engage with a topic or learn how others think, they’re doing it to artificially arouse feelings in an environment that carries fewer complexities and social risks than the real world

This is nuts. Why are we erecting additional barriers to housing for *children*? And barriers which lead to more instability for the people who most need stability.

Doesn't this cut the other way? If the Justices are operating outside of political pressure because they have life time appointments, release of their memos shouldn't affect them. That's a reason for greater transparency, not less.

Why do I want the highest political body in the land to be an opaque cabal where I cannot understand who or what is being discussed and what the actual opinion of the Justices are, why is that a desirable system, exactly

Headline: Governor's Proposed Pied-à-Terre Tax Draws Critics From Real Estate Lawyers Above it are pictures of three white guys in suits

Perfect. No notes.

Every pro-SCOTUS argument directly ignores the public actions and words of the conservative wing as they gleefully set fire to the 20th century
