Texas, the voter registration deadline is coming up next week. If you live in Texas and want to vote, be sure to check that you are registered properly — even if you you think you did what you had to. A statewide database to check: goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

You know the way JK Rowling claims to have come from abject poverty, taught children to love reading, and kept from being a billionaire by donating so much to charity? Well all those things are not true of JKR but they ARE true of Dolly Parton.

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Great piece on the largely imaginary shoplifting surge: I do think one thing the piece misses is that a bunch of major police departments started years-long work slowdowns in 2020 where they refused to do their jobs (often falsely claiming their hands were tied by woke prosecutors)

Farmer & farm worker tips on working outside in hot humid weather: First, the normal stuff. Stay hydrated. Take breaks in the shade. These are the basics! They'll get you pretty far & you won't make it without them! They are also not enough to get through a day on the farm IME!

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

By the way, if you think you can ignore the FTC suit against WPATH because it just involves trans people, the legal theory proposed by the FTC would, if it prevails, allow for the FTC to sue vaccine manufacturers to force them to stop making vaccines too.

For years I've tracked billionaire excess. Each year I show students a chart that blows their minds. This year I had to redraw it for a trillionaire: Elon Musk, $1.32T. Depressing that we're here. Silver lining: couldn't have happened to a less deserving person, proof that wealth ≠ merit.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

another opportunity to PSA that 'trans' and 'women' are two separate words, by the way. you can see here how they're using 'transwomen' as a noun, not as a type of woman, but as their own set. please break those words up. bonus info: it's also not hyphenated!

Page one of comic short story. (Three panels - Narrative description is written on the panels) SOME TOXIC WASTE SPILLED IN SOME GRASS. A couple people in hazmat suits are carrying a large container with a hazard ☢️ logo. There is a hole in the side and the container is leaking a trail of glowing green ooze. One of the hazmat people says, “oh crap.” MY DUMBASS CAT ATE THE GRASS. An orange cat a short distance away from the toxic waste facility is gnawing on some weird looking grass. NOW WE, LIKE, FIGHT CRIME I GUESS. A girl is riding on the back of the cat from the previous panel, which is now an enormous mutated beast with many eyes. It roars at the top of a skyscraper.
