yes. i would wager that these people genuinely believe that the country is MAGA and that there is a vast and untapped audience to be appealed to. incidentally, these people also exist in an impenetrable bubble of sycophants.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

Gloria Steinem taught America that sexism is a symptom of a system that can be changed. 

From the fight for equal pay to abortion access and political representation, she showed that progress comes when people organize, build power and refuse to accept inequality as inevitable.

She staged protests, established domestic violence shelters, created a magazine owned and operated entirely by women and helped build a movement that fundamentally changed this country.

Her legacy is the millions of people she inspired to believe that a more just world was possible.

She lived in New York for 70 years. We were lucky to have her. We mourn her loss and will carry her work forward.

I assumed that per Turing eventually there would be a chatbot created that would mimic intelligence well enough that people would be fooled. Don't know how many of us foresaw that people would start truly believing, not that the output was intelligent, but that they were somehow the authors of it.

The findings? For the bottom 60% of U.S. households, a
"minimal quality of life" is out of reach, according to the group, a research organization focused on improving lower earners' economic well-being.

Honestly if I was a Dem presidential candidate I would be touting that fact that we could pay for some of my policies by charging people for the opportunity to destroy some of the crap Trump has done. You could raise *millions* from destroying the ballroom, brick by brick, alone.

The Lake America thing really drives home that the fundamental divide in this country isn’t left or right, it’s who sees the world and acts like an adult, and who wants to still be a child, throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. It just happens to map well onto a partisan axis these days.

THIS. My high school had like an entire section on teaching kids to speak formally, by which they meant ‘not from (wherever the kids are from)’. I had to work to claw that back. And I hate being online and seeing folk tell me I oughta be ashamed to be from the South. Naw.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.
