RIVERTON, Utah (AP) — When a dozen Republican activists gathered on a back deck in the Salt Lake City suburbs to talk about this year’s elections, the conversation cycled through all the staples of conservative chatter in Utah such as dwindling water supplies, illegal immigrant fraud and chemtrail conspiracy theories.

The article is about something else (ai regulations) which is actually a perfect illustration of how republicans' obsession with total crazypants bullshit like chemtrails is just treated as dog bites man. Fully normalized that the current ruling political party is completely insane

“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”

🧵Bombshell reporting on leaked SCOTUS memos that reveal how the "shadow docket" began with Chief Justice Roberts' rush to halt Obama's efforts to regulate power plant emissions of greenhouse gases - he feared the harm to industry.

No one feared the harm to the Earth, apparently.

Doug Ford backs off government plane purchase, seeks to sell aircraft Just days after announcing plans to buy a private jet, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will now move to sell its newly acquired plane, acknowledging concerns about the timing and cost of t...

If he doesn't sell it for the exact same amount as he bought it, I think Ontarians should have the right to take the difference off of our taxes, idgaf if that's "not how money works"

It’s easy to forget how unprecedented the Hiberno-British* boyband The Beatles were [Harry Benson’s great pic]. In 1964 they did 30 concerts in 24 US cities & travelled 22,441 miles. In the NL 100,000 gathered just to see them drive by. In Adelaide 300,000 lined their route from airport to hotel.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

The Lancet: "The politicisation of women's bodies and choices is part of a wider attempt to roll back human rights and freedoms of women and marginalised groups. ...It is a fundamental right of a woman to decide whether and when she has children, and is central to gender justice."

No, it’s not a painting—these surreal skies are real! This is a rare ‘fire rainbow’ spotted over the Rocky Mountains, created when sunlight hits ice-crystal clouds at just the right angle. Seeing a fire rainbow requires extreme luck.

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

In a big victory for customers across the nation, a court has stopped Nexstar’s merger with Tegna as our lawsuit continues.

This win ensures local news remains independent and fees don’t climb higher.

I'll keep fighting to enforce the law and protect the future of local TV.
