Nothing says #July4 like a juicy slice of watermelon. This delicious fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 lbs. It's 100+ degrees in Bakersfield today. Can you imagine harvesting them in high temps? #WeFeedYou

Neil Gaiman, *63yo, insists that his sexual relationship with his live-in nanny,*23, which started on her first night at his home, was consensual. It’s not the 80’s sir. The power imbalance & her dependency on you for employment & housing, make this at a minimum coercive & far from consensual.

a probably unpopular opinion is that the escalating culture of leveraging bullying and victim-blaming to coerce people into voting for democrats has actually been an acceleration mechanism for fascist creep, and bears significant blame for where we are today.

Rent-fixing software companies like RealPage and Yardi Systems use centralized algorithms to allow landlords to allegedly collude, jacking up rents and purposefully keeping apartments vacant. Here's Minneapolis apartment building PureLowry promoting their use of Yardi Systems. 🧵

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

Once I saw a dude podcaster arguing with his lady co host that the New York marathon was absolutely longer than the Boston marathon and he knew because he had run them both and that's the best example I can think of to explain men

Guess how much money the ACLU has access to? ACLU Foundation (not the org) has $640 million IN THE BANK. That's their endowment for a rainy day. THE STORM IS HERE! They're not going to pour that $ and energy into protecting democracy? GTFO! (Cole's salary in 2022 was $484,052, btw.)

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. 🧪

Pasteurization Kills Bird Flu Virus in Milk, New Studies Confirmwww.scientificamerican.com Flash pasteurization destroyed H5N1 viral particles that were highly concentrated in raw milk, confirming that standard techniques can keep dairy products safe from bird flu

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

eBike Rebate numbers posted on the recent GovDelivery message. Over 60k in the waiting room at one point.

The real reason they are going after DEI is that we are teaching people that it's the systems that are keeping us down, and that to be free, we must destroy them.

For boring sized accounts like mine, the labeler and the contraption didn't really filter much that we would have seen. I never used them after seeing a bad block based on white fragility

Interstate sale of unpasteurized milk is prohibited by FDA reg 1240.61 under the authority given to the Surgeon General in the Public Health Services Act to prevent communicable diseases. But in this 5th circuit courtroom, a FedSoc judge trained in creationist biology isn't sure that's true.

New test results released by the FDA found that bird flu virus is making its way from dairy farms and into milk processing plants but also confirmed that the commonly used flash pasteurization method fully neutralizes the virus.

So when people have said 'hate is a helluva drug' what it really means is when you see people like JKR being a bigot, or some Karen losing her shit on trans people existing Their hate is PASSIONATE, and it's like...someone really into sports. And their frenzy, their passion is quite real. But

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense

We need to publicize this enough to get the Trump men to skip voting

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

Editorials used to be buried on the editorial page. Now, online, they appear atop the home page of The New York Times. Separation of org chart means nothing. The Times as institution and brand is engaged in full-on advocacy against Joe Biden and democracy out of personal petulance.

"Given the choice, people would rather sleep outside than stay in our shelter, therefore we shouldn't give them a choice" is both a brutal self-own and the core of conservative ideology

Something something white saviorism as a hand maiden of facism Something something how do they treat the people they claim to represent

A homeless shelter wrote an amicus brief in the Grant’s Pass case. They argued SCOTUS should let the city arrest the homeless because, and I am not shitting you, the ban on doing so meant less people were willing to abide by their “two church services a day and no sex” requirement to sleep inside.
