And an explosion of ultra wealthy and highly visible men (caused by government absolutely abdicating its entire responsibility) supported by political power pushing a “traditional” conservative ideology that is really just unattainable wealth packaged as personal failure when you cant achieve it.
Well, I may regret even answering this question but honestly, I don’t think that’s the thing. We make jokes, but really, I think the problem those terrible men are capitalizing on is an overall societal disconnect (that affects girls at the same rate) caused by a transition to digital culture
Yes! Poisonous to cats though. If you have pets check first which ones are safe.
Suggest to add plants. One large in the corner and some on top shelf. Then accents. Strongly suggest stronger color on the wall for contrast and coziness. Otherwise it’s perfect and a great background.
Deployed US ships are running out of food. Families’ packages aren’t getting through. “The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment on the mail stoppage or reports that some U.S. vessels were short on food.”
Literally everything else aside, this should make Pete Hegseth resign in shame.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
(I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)
Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

I realize everybody’s gonna get stuck on how unhinged the overall concept is, but I can’t get past the Transformers Statue of Liberty creature in the sky. I want odds on Trump accidentally informing us that the aliens have been here for years and currently hold several seats in Congress already.
This Women’s History Month, the celebration is overshadowed by an ominous reality: The rights we assumed were permanent have become dangerously historical.
"this front-running of U.S. policy was really large: the Financial Times estimates the sales of oil futures in that magic minute Monday morning at about $580 million, and that doesn’t count the purchases of stock futures." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/treason-in...
Even if the war stopped today, supplies will be disrupted for months. If it continues on a few more weeks, supplies will be disrupted for years. If it lasts for months, we can mark this as the end of fossil fuel hegemony in energy markets. In the meantime, millions will starve.
“Rather conveniently, Comer made no mention of who was president in 2019: Donald Trump. Nor did he mention that Trump appointee Bill Barr was leading the Department of Justice when this purported chicanery took place.” www.ms.now/news/james-c...
This week Commission Chair Dr. Rita Gallardo Good and Executive Director @darcytotten.bsky.social met with California State Assembly @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social to share more about our upcoming legislative priorities and to discuss the pivotal role we play in supporting women and girls in California
Thank you Senate Pro Tem Monique Limon Chief of Staff Mariana Corona Sabeniano for meeting with the Commission Chair Dr. Rita Gallardo Good and Executive Director @darcytotten.bsky.social to discuss programs and priorities vital to women and girls.
So I was trying to think of how I could encapsulate the joy, inspiration, frustration, anger, and boundless motivation that Women's History Month gives me every year. Thankfully, Brian Green helped me put it all into words instead for the #CaliforniaVoices podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/3FfG...
I wonder how many other people my age are calling their old college roommates to check in with the people they were sitting with the last time American touched off an endless war in the Middle East? The group chat is full of old photos and it’s weird and sad.
Welp.
From last week’s @washingtonpost.com:
After horse escapes, Congress must weigh whether to close barn door.

Congress and the courts are refusing to give Trump what he wants, so he’s concocting a new plan to seize control of the election. Here’s what you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Counter programming only works if you get coverage. It would’ve been a wonderful idea 20 years ago when the media ecosystem worked differently. Trump hijacked an opportunity with no opposition to give out medals like Oprah, giving out cars, and all anyone saw was endless applause.
Skipping the State of the Union was not a power move by @thedemcoalition.bsky.social - it was a catastrophically stupid move by folks who probably should’ve listened to their communications directors. Zero opposition in the only room that was being covered made Trump look strong. 1/2
As President Donald Trump prepares to deliver his State of the Union address, a majority of Americans say he is changing the country for the worse, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist Poll.
“As an assistant prof of biology, it's made her think of the young women she sees going into the sciences today.
‘Will their ideas be taken seriously?’ she wonders. ‘Will their creativity, brilliance or ingenuity be taken seriously? Or will it be dismissed or ignored?’”🧪
Rude.
Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)
