IME, Asian grocery stores are also locales where masking both among staff and patrons is overall higher than in other groceries (at least here in Austin, I haven't seen more than one mask at HEB in months) and for those who remain COVID-averse, that's a huge plus

I'm already sick of the dire wolves even though they're adorable pups I would die for. This isn't de-extincting. This isn't Good Science. It's kinda cruel to bring them back into a world with no environmental protections and where rich assholes like Donny Jr would want to hang a head on the wall.

I saw a post a long time ago about how millennials have to use their computers, not phones, for big purchases, etc. and Gen Z doesn’t. Never have I felt that more than attempting to write a time-sensitive pitch in the google docs app on my phone. This is a *computer* situation!

The censorship we are seeing online and off, the demonization of masturbation and sexual expression, the resurgence of attacks on LGBTQ+ people as 'groomers,' the panic over stepmom videos, can be traced back to religious groups need to excuse Duggar.

Everything in this thread - and to supplement it: It's important to remember that, to the Evangelical Right, *any* use of porn is porn addiction. *Any* extramarital sex is sex addiction. You saw this framing, too, with Robert Aaron Long's 2021 murder spree in Atlanta massage parlors.

👇🎯 We are having trouble using proper terminology because it requires us to fully accept exactly what has happened to our country & wrestle with the fact that every single one of our elected representatives in Congress is violating their oaths of office by not immediately impeaching & removing him.

It's easy to say "well then just stop cheap imports." But I don't think Americans are returning back to those prices. In early 1960s, US households spent 12% of their income on apparel (or $4,157 in today's dollars). In 2016, it was 4% (or $1,803). And that's with larger wardrobes!

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

I've said this before but I'll say it again: Wine moms get the job done. When Moms for Liberty attempted a hostile takeover of K-12 education, it was the wine moms who rose up, ran for office, supported candidates, went to school/library meetings, made calls, and went to the mat.
