billionaire wealth in the US hit 6 trillion today, an all time high, and that’s double what it was before trump-gop passed their tax bill in 2017 that accelerated the rich getting absurdly insanely richer

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't. www.zdnet.com/article/digi...

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Anyway, if Swifties and the Outlander fandom ever set their minds to it, I firmly believe we’d have universal healthcare and a solution for climate change within a week.

I saw a Big Bonfire yesterday instead of fireworks and we should definitely start doing that instead

My question is, other than bragging, why is a person who uses this reading The Great Gatsby at all? It's not like what HAPPENS in the story is important in some cosmic sense. I could read a Wikipedia summary instead of going to the movies, too.
I can’t think of a clever caption for this. It just breaks my fucking heart.

ah man starting to think opening the most miserable liminal spaces in modern America every other block and then locking all products behind glass so the one employee on hand can get to it 15 minutes from now ISN'T a great business model.
NEW YORK (AP) — Walgreens says a quarter of US stores are underperforming and it plans to shutter a significant number within 3 years.

This is insane.
I learned at an engineering conference recently that one crypto mine in TX, 100s of MW, makes more money off ERCOT demand response markets than it does off crypto repeat: TX ratepayers pay them more to sometimes stop mining than they make by actual mining just bananas misuse of power markets 🔌💡

It’s been completely normalized for Republicans to be straight up abusive to their Dem colleagues up and down the ballot and there are no consequences for it except public embarrassment when they’re caught

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.
Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

It's long past time for a broader discussion about what "Christian" means in America. It is far more a political identifier than a shared faith: 43% of Evangelicals reject the divinity of Christ.

Phones are such a great deal these days. For just $1000, all calls are scam and all search is AI.
The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones. Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.
Sick of scams? Stop answering your phone.www.washingtonpost.com Phone scams are still hugely popular — and they depend entirely on people curious enough to answer.

what’s interesting to me is that the unanimous jury is clear proof that ordinary citizens understand this and are properly appalled by it when all the case is made by lawyers. it’s only when the case is made by conservative corporate media that suddenly there’s doubt
I think they understand that even the most uninformed voter knows felons and felonies are bad, even if they're not aware of the nuance of what a felony specifically is they understand felons are criminals.

We really should just call "natural gas" by its actual name: methane. It's a fossil fuel, and burning it adds carbon to the atmosphere. The word "natural" is really unhelpful here, and it needs to go.
