Organize your workplace. Because it may not be bullets now, but they can wound and deprive your children just as effectively using a different third party — an insurer. And they have zero compunction ruining you and your coworkers.
On this date, 112 years ago, members of the Colorado National Guard and private security opened fire on striking miners and their families at Ludlow, Colorado, in the southeast of the state. 21 people were killed, mostly women and children.

There are myriad ways that law enforcement can access the content or other metadata of push notifications. Let’s fix that. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
I low-key hate that in order for anyone to pay attention to what you have to say on the internet these days, you have to be a video essayist or streamer.
There are a lot of interesting perspectives out there that are being culled because people no longer want to read in their downtime.
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
These are the same police that continue to be racist in their policing. Who've helped ICE. Who are clear in their politics who they actually support. Who Frey wants to build a training center for. Who take millions from city budget.
Who guaranteed a woman's death.
THIRTY MINUTES.
thirty goddamn minutes.

I always think about what it would have been like even 10, 15 years earlier. We had the technology to keep things going. It sucked, but with the right support it would have been almost painless. For a month or two, it actually made me pretty optimistic!
If you're at all curious about this, we've put up a free three chapter preview on the itch page so you can hear Autumn's performance (including some fun 🌶️!)
It really is a great narration. Funny, spicy, witty. As an author, she really knows how to bring what the book does to life.
The mistake you're making is expecting nuance on the internet...

this is it right here. AI violates Vonnegut's number 1 rule for writers: "Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted." AI shifts the burden of effort from the writer onto the reader/audience and that is unacceptable
EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
think this is wise in theory (why not try to appease your opponents by finding common ground away from what you disagree on!) but in practice, gender critical campaigners just won't listen to what Stonewall has to say anyway so no real point in trying to reach out and alienate allies by doing so

It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.

My friend is melting down because she can't afford cat food & her family (who didnt help or approve of her fleeing abuse) is just 'waiting for her to die'.
They're extremely selfish manipulative people & now shes all alone in Maine, cant work & is appealing for disability.

My long-time friend is having a really hard time and so is his dog. He needs help affording allergy medicine for her and her special diet, so if you have something to spare, he'd really appreciate it.

I'm forwarding a mutual aid request on the behalf of an 18 year old fellow femme named Lily, whose parents just found out she's trans and are disowning her. She starts college in three months, and is in need of money until then. Help would be appreciated.

(Screenshot of Amazon review) Five stars - Verified Purchase Spider dreams guaranteed Got these for a transatlantic flight from Seattle. Took effect about 20 minutes from consumption. I slept for about 4 hours and continued to use them to adjust to the timezone change. Every night I had the same dream about a spider wrapping me in a web very tightly and speaking backwards. It seemed very scared and was furious I could not understand what it was trying to say. 20 years passed in the dream world and eventually the spider and I became close friends and four years later we were married. Understandably our differences were too much and our relationship fell apart from the inside. My infidelity was the last straw and we never recovered from the betrayal. I would always wake up write before we signed the divorce papers. I had this same dream every night for 6 days. Great product. Highly recommend.
An excellent cat.
Screenshot of Cm.rosens on threads posting to Book threads community. Controversial maybe but working class lads in hoodies who just want to get a "well done" from their dad once in their lives never get to be the Gothic Horror monster do they... ... well they do now (also might be an actual monster lad who can see the future, is pathologically honest, & totally unrepentant.) No brooding, only touch starved asexual pining..+a bit of cannibalism Would steal your kidney on Tuesday and go shopping for his nan on Wednesday. Because his nan is scarier than he is.
Gothic iron gate with crows perched on branches in front of it and flying around behind it. The eBook cover of THE CROWS by CM Rosens is in the centre.
Controversial maybe... but I think more working class lads should be in Gothic Horror

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half.
These cuts were announced as the Artemis astronauts were on their way to the Moon:
If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
