A state you’re not allowed to take your pregnant daughter out of to procure a legal medical procedure in another state is no longer a state and becomes a dystopian prison.
Idaho is about to become a prison for underage girls.
I hope this is a wake up call for people who aren’t taking this creeping christofascism seriously — they are coming for EVERYTHING that doesn’t fit into their worldview.
If you ever wondered what you would have done in WW2 or Jim Crow, you’re doing it now.
@Popehat Ken, Help! I sent my chancellor to fabricate a claim on the duchy of Disney World and this event triggered. What the hell do I do now?
Dear every #charity and #political #candidate on the planet: The quickest way to lose my #donation is to fill my inbox with #spam.
5. The total fines imposed since 2017 are equivalent to 0.04% of @DollarGeneral@twitter.com's sales in 2022.
This is not OSHA's fault.
They are limited by the law. OSHA can only charge "a company up to $15,600 per day for up to 30 days."
What a weird headline and story frame.
It makes it sound like stripping the right to vote is just a little bump in the road for a party that wants to take its ball home now that no one wants to play with them anymore.
Our national media (which is our only media these days. See: Gatehouse) continues to fail us.
I wrote about your oven's secret Sabbath mode, and how that relates to your computer's assistive technology features. https://ericwbailey.website/published/sabbath-mode-and-assistive-technology-features/
So, in the "Free" state of Florida, during a public hearing about HB1423, one MAGAt representative (Randy Fine) believes the rights of parents are limited and that he supports revoking a parent's right to determine what film and video their families can watch, while another moron (Rep. Kevin Steele), thinks "perhaps we should require a license in order to be a parent".
This has never been about parental rights, or free speech. It is about theocratic control by the state of what we see, say, and do as citizens. This is not freedom. #desantisdestroysflorida #1stamendment
Will this survey of hundreds of trans adults who say transitioning was good for them get half as much attention as an op-ed from a single person who regrets transitioning? Let's find out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/23/transgender-adults-transitioning-poll/
#Florida used to be fun-embarrassing. Like, it was embarrassing to be around us, but you had a good time.
Now, though, we're moving into creepy killjoy authoritarian cringe, and I am very much not for it.
Relativity Space just posted this photo on Twitter and I am AGHAST at how beautiful it is. (If you're wondering why the flame is part blue, the answer is methane/liquid oxygen fuel. Video coming on this later today!)
Most folks I know who are worried about AI aren’t worried about these programs becoming self aware and oppressing us. That’s not a thing. We’re worried about all the ways these systems will ramp up existing inequalities and further obliterate our shared reality as human beings. That’s already happening.
