It’s the first election after a coup attempt and the coup plotters are using democratic means to try to retake power. We probably don’t talk about that with enough clarity.

It sounds too simple (and like an exaggeration) when you say that it's game over for Ukraine and the Palestinians of Gaza if Trump/Vance win, but it's pretty much that simple. You might be tempted to say things can't get worse. But the bad news from history is that they almost always can.

Forget the stereotypes. Female truck drivers are safer than males, according to Auburn researchers, and should be targeted as a solution to the nationwide truck driver shortage.

Female truckers are safer drivers, and more are needed, research showsharbert.auburn.edu Two Auburn University Harbert College of Business researchers who studied the trucking industry found a consistent pattern they say sends a clear message: Women truck drivers are safer, and more likel...

I'm working on policy proposals to protect consumer rights when companies brick smart devices. So please share devices that you've owned that stopped working because the company that made it killed software support or went out of business. Also, please share this request. Thank you.

absolutely and anyone who is like “ I was going to vote for Biden, but I think he might die so I’m voting for Trump” is not a serious person

my one contribution to the Biden discourse is my only concern is whether he can win I do not give a flying fuck whether he can make it four years and frankly I don’t even know why we’re talking about that. he can sleep all day and let his team - that is NOT the Heritage Foundation - do the work idc

Does it strike anyone else as curious that Blount County officials did not name the church where this man served as a youth minister, given the extent of the crimes charged? Is it to protect the victim?

Alabama youth minister allegedly threatened to kill his wife if teen rape victim did not send nude photoswww.al.com He is accused of having forced sexual intercourse with the 13-year-old girl on multiple occasions, as well as performing sex acts on her.

Today I was teaching a class on emergency response procedures to senior management at a client and while we were discussing tornadoes and what to do, there was a tornado warning for the county we were in. If I come back and there’s another warning, I might not get invited back because I bring them.

Also, many sports fans have seen(/followed/etc) a sports team that was very obviously about to fire their coach. Like, probably the vast majority. Pro and College. What even is this shit.

Goldman Sachs recently issued a report called "GenAI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?" savaging the industry, with GS' Jim Covello saying that there's limited upside, and that it's incapable of solving the complex problems that would make it worth it. wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

they’re also symptoms of even mild executive dysfunction (working memory lapses), which I assume the AuDHD-in-profile crowd realizes… I have ADHD and certainly have a problem misspeaking or losing my place because I’m thinking about something else.

maybe stop lamenting about who your choices are for president & instead start figuring out why you have no idea who your state & local politicians are

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

Same reason I won't sign up for any of the car insurance monitoring programs until it's a condition to be insured. That data is to benefit the company not you.

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.

Happy Fourth of July and happy raspberry season. Just had my first decent harvest of the season, about 3 cups. We should have a couple of weeks of berries, then a couple of weeks of gap and then a big daily harvest (1.5-2 quarts a day) from late August till the first frost.

NOBODY should care about those “undecided voters”. If those people haven’t figured out who to vote for already, they’re not going to vote in November anyway. They don’t matter. All that matters is who gets more existing supporters to go vote. This is why the GOP is all-in on voter suppression.

Also just tossing it out there, but SCOTUS saying "we need to do this to protect executive authority" when it's literally the executive branch arguing they shouldn't, sort of gives the lie to the idea this was about protecting constitutional departmental interests as opposed to protecting Mr Trump

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

By the time the doctors in Boise put her on a plane for Salt Lake City, she’d already lost a liter of blood New standard of care just dropped:

She Needed an Emergency Abortion. Doctors in Idaho Put Her on a Plane.www.nytimes.com In states that have banned abortion, hospitals have struggled to treat pregnant women facing health risks. A Supreme Court decision this week did not help.
