Executing Musk's (and others) plan for us. When you believe this might all be a simulation and you are living in an alternate universe of extreme wealth and power, you think no one else matters.

I'm laughing so hard right now - I read your post and then saw a shared Alt Library of Congress comment of "And Susan Collins will be very concerned" and thought it was for your post! I wonder if she'll write you a sternly-worded note?

That is patently false. I had a brother that played safety at the professional level. I'm glad he walked after 5 years and can definitively say that he'd not agree with this statement.

As much as I hate RFK Jr and agree he does and says really, really stupid stuff, he didn't say this.

Best things I ever planted years ago are bunching onions and parsley - both just keep on going, the onions by dividing and the parsley by seeding.

Dear dem-supporting organizations attempting to fund-raise. Stop with the hyperbolic, all caps, panic subject lines and doom emails. They drove me away last elections and now they go straight to my junk - I see them when I check my junk for things I want. This is not a winning method, do better.

Walking through the grocery store to see some potato chips that were cooked in tallow. Big selling point was "no seed oils!" - rolled my eyes so hard and muttered "FFS" as I went by. And that is small potatoes compared to all the infectious disease stuff.

I think if you are talking about politicians, then I would agree they will be on the "we're #1 wagon". A lot of us regular people do not feel like that. Heck, I don't think I've thought that ever.

There are a whole lot of us who share those values, but our system has been stacked against us. Our political system has been captured by big corporations and their money. We are in a heinous state. For those who think they don't want that system, it is often a case of mis- and dis-information.

There are a lot of poorly thought out suggestions that show such a severe lack of understanding of the challenges that Americans face in our lives as to be laughable (like the lack of security net - no we cannot all go out and protest every day, we would be homeless, without healthcare, etc.)

Someone should interview victims and families - like aid workers who were distributing life-saving HIV meds who themselves are HIV+, and with their permission, project the video on Times Square and buildings all around the world. Give "credit" to Trump and Musk and all those who made this happen.

Trump just quietly approved the construction of a #DataCenter on #PublicLand in southern Nevada — the first data center allowed on public land. We've already filed an appeal against this dangerous development, but we need your help to show the scale of public opposition ➡️ bit.ly/4fGlM7W

Objectively, this is what is happening with DHS stops. The police ought to be investigating those as well.

We had to sign that you'd taken your ballot. So there are other ways than photo ID (which is also not a fail-safe since you can make false IDs)

...where that polling place is, and that that person has not yet cast their ballot. If you know the first two things and the last thing isn't true, you are going to get caught on the spot. I just don't see this as a big way to perform voter fraud.

I don't think this is a big problem. When I lived in a state without vote-by-mail, I went in and had to as for my assigned ballot. In order to make a scam of this, you'd need to know a few details to make it work. You'd need to know which precinct a particular person votes in...

There is one question I want one freaking reporter to ask these evil bastards - how in the hell is anyone supposed to know that these are "law enforcement" in the first place? If someone rammed one of their cars, would they just sit there thinking "oh, yeah, this is just law enforcement"?

If they think that warming is problematic and believe that humans can make changes to slow warming, it shouldn't matter if we are (we definitely are) or are not the cause because our actions can make the consequences less devastating.

I used to teach college bio - majors & nonmajors. I told students that general bio class was super important. They'd be parents, consumers, legislators, lawyers, etc. and NEED to know something about science. Some of the under thought out courses are non-majors biology courses and that sucks.

This is the crux of what the problem is, I think. It is a risk-assessment - do I think it worth what I will go through to bring this to an authority figure or law enforcement? And it does circle back around to the behavior of men acting in these professional capacities not handling things correctly.

As a woman who had incidents that could have resulted in SA, I think the thing that saved me was that I was often taller than some of the men and could physically escape. I never told people because I felt an odd sense of shame and embarrassment. I can't imagine what I'd feel if I'd been assaulted.
