The stations going dark this year aren’t NPR tote-bag liberalism. In much of rural America they’re the last local signal — and part of the system that tells you a tornado is coming.

@snipe.lol stumbled across this and hadn't seen it before, sorry if it's a repeat...
The goatse.cx shock image, but the man's gaping anus has been replaced with a ring of bread and appears in a cookbook with a caption referencing "pulling the bread from the center hole." 

The hands appear to be from the original image.

Why in the hell does @regeneron.com use a song about sex ("Dancin' in the Moonlight") to advertise a "wet AMD" drug? The first line of the song is literally "we get it on most every night." The setting in the commercial (kid's dance recital/play) makes the song selection extra disturbing.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1.	He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15.	For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17.	For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18.	He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19.	He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20.	He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office. This is looting.

Rep. Luna, who once accused Twitter of "censorship" because no one on her staff explained what Jira is to her, is now asking the DOJ to prosecute a journalist for sharing a link to a university bio page on X (X immediately complied and locked the journalist's account until he deleted the link).

I'm not a huge fan of organized religion, often because of the hypocrisy. Rick is actually practicing what his book preaches, and I respect that, even if I still think the religion itself is ridiculous. This is what good Christians are "supposed" to be doing

I don't have a lot of followers so I doubt this will go far, but: we have an adopted shelter cat (they think 4-5 y.o.) that only wants to play. Constantly, regardless of how much she was just played with previously. The only time she wants love is when you're on the toilet. 🤷‍♂️ How to improve‽

Saddened by the Guards loss today. Maybe if our starter hadn't been pulled after 2.6 innings with only a single hit, for "lefty-righty" matchup silliness, we'd have done better? Maybe if we hadn't played the same relievers who had been seen plenty in the previous 2 games? I dunno 🤷‍♂️
