Cynic. Introverted. Looking for info and opinions of decent people who know more than I do. Please don’t add me to a starter pack. Really, I mentioned the introversion for a reason. Thank you.

They don’t cover OB care for “child” dependents, either. Even though the law says parents can cover their children until they’re 26.

Let's stop using anodyne labels like "the immigration debate" or "controversy over migrants" and start referring to things accurately. "Expelling children who, by law, are entitled to remain in the country" or "imprisoning toddlers in concentration camps" or "pogrom"

Universities and colleges care about funding and reputation, not students. No woman should ever be subjected to this and no rapist should be given a hall pass no matter how good they are at sports or how rich Daddy is.

So, for Missouri it’s either last Wednesday or this coming one. MAGAt SOS website says “fourth Wednesday before the election.” Could be 9/30, could be 10/7. We don’t know! www.sos.mo.gov/elections/go...
Your voter registration in Missouri needs to be postmarked by “the fourth Wednesday before the election.” Not sure how they measure that. Either mail it by 10/7 and try or…? (Could have been 9/30–we don’t know!)

this is so often ignored by cis people debating amongst themselves about if trans people are a little *too* touchy. Most of you don't know what it's like to have your entire existence politicized and weaponized or what toll it takes on us.

This is what happens when FACTUAL HISTORY isn't taught or it's rewritten. The REPUBLICANS looked at all the evidence. REPUBLICANS went to the Oval and told Nixon they WOULD vote to impeach him and he should resign instead. No conspiracy, no deep state, No railroading, FACTS. Lying prick.

100% not saying that women don’t deserve to live in safety and with equality. We do. I’m a GenXer and lived through this. I’m appalled that our younger generations have to live through it again. We need empathetic and caring young men to step up and hold their less caring peers accountable.

Have to imagine it's a coincidence that all these things are happening that further the destruction of American interests and they all involve a coalition dedicated to surpassing and replacing the American order and the president is overtly corrupt and obliviously a supplicant to their leaders.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
