Don't be fooled. This bill won’t force Big Tech companies to do anything. It's a political stunt to cover Republicans who have been the biggest data center cheerleaders. We need a bill with real teeth to hold these companies accountable.

A massive diesel spill at a New Jersey data center has dumped roughly 5,000 gallons of fuel into wetlands connected to the Meadowlands. Local officials say a “computer glitch” caused the backup generator system to keep calling for fuel. The diesel entered Anderson Creek,

Shifting the blame to a former president who has not been in office for almost two years is beyond ridiculous. Mr. President, take responsibility for an illegal war that has driven up gas prices for Americans.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Damn, this made me chuckle.😆
barbwritesstuff: I have learnt today that my library refers to me as "the specific and highly active user" and has denied some of my purchase requests because "we can't skew the collection too much toward the taste of the specific and highly active use."

I did suggest roughly 100 vampire books for purchase last year. I think this probably has something to do with that.

Dragon-in-a-fez: op is there any particular reason the librarians would feel safer not invoking you by name?

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.
