One of the worst parts of living in PA is the relentless hounding of me by politians via mail, text, AND NOW ACTUAL PHONE CALLS. I am very close to saying f- this and just voting for whoever contacts me less...

I’m gonna say virtually all authors need to get serious about textiles. Who is weaving them? Out of what? Who’s turning them into clothes and how much does it cost and do you have any idea how HARD all of that was before modern mills

Hear me out, but maybe Democratic candidates and people who don’t want to appear psychopath-adjacent should avoid being seen with this guy?

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Translation for people that didn't take divinity classes when they were younger: By "traditionalist" they mean "pro-fascist." As in, the super racist part of the Catholic Church whose founder actually helped nazis round up Jews in Lyon for the Holocaust, and who was mad when France was liberated.

Tempted to brush aside today's SCOTUS ruling against trans folks? Please remember that if they can marginalize ppl who are trans, they can marginalize you. Doesn't take much to make false accusations. Like it or not, we're all in this together.

Research confirms that the more skilled professionals like doctors and software engineers rely on AI, the more their skills degrade. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Malls won't let teens in without an adult and cops are banning young adults from going to the beach. We got rid of public transit and third spaces. There are no sidewalks, and kids riding bikes get hassle by NextDoor NIMBYs. Where the fuck are teenagers supposed to go?

In books like Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents, Twenge has documented the profound behavioral changes that accompanied smartphones, especially among young people.

"The smartphone fundamentally changed the way adolescents spent their time outside of school," Twenge told NPR. "They started spending a lot more time online and on their phones and a lot less time hanging out with their friends in person and driving around in a car or going to the mall or just hanging out."
