It’s not perpetual motion, but this globe does spin endlessly without batteries or otherwise being plugged in to anything.

Kevin Drum on his blog posted on a rapid shift of men's social & political views towards "conservatism" in social & political views from 2021 to 2023 & opines that it is hard to understand.
No, Kevin, this is depressingly easy to understand. These men aren't "conservative", they are looking for a political home where the bigotry they have known better than to say out loud is being proudly claimed. In this case, it's the anti-abortion push by the GOP.

The Los Angeles district attorney's office said Thursday it has left Twitter due to a barrage of “vicious” homophobic attacks that were not removed by the social media platform even after they were reported. https://apnews.com/article/twitter-la-los-angeles-district-attorney-pride-quits-6d404a99ca8baf90b60adad6f25156bb?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter #press

I've used Reddit for 17 years and was on Twitter for 15 years and it's surprising how quickly they both imploded relative to their lifetimes, but also how little it bothers me to suddenly stop using either of them.
That's probably a good indication that I was consuming too much wasteful content on them every day and this is for the better.
Though I'm really sad to see @christianselig have his hard work shut down with no recourse, especially seeing how much he enjoyed working on Apollo over the years.
Nicolle Wallace is right - trump has been a national security threat since the day he was sworn in (actually, even before.) #msnbc #TrumpIndictment #trump
This reveals McCarthy’s loyalty. He’s a traitor to the US (has been since he voted to overturn the 2020 pres. election): Today is indeed a dark day for the USA. It’s unconscionable for a Pres. to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades. I, & every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with Pres Trump against this grave injustice. House Rs will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.
Patriotic tuna fish sandwich.
Liberalism is left. Populism is poison. All bigotry is wrong.
