Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis! www.king5.com/article/news...

Congratulations to @bsky.app, which just passed the six million users mark. That's roughly the size of the population of the great state of Maryland. Please have some cake (crab OR Smith Island, or both!) to celebrate!

Four months ago, the Economist thought the country was being run pretty well.
IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

There's a Quiet New Deal going on...
Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

this is the right wing movement we get with a little migration and inflation. what does it look like when climate change really starts to bite

The 4th of July should serve as a reminder of 34 felonies you should not ignore in November.

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

With this, you get quesadillas, though!
I finally saw a cybertruck this week in real life and the very first thing that occurred to me was how much it resembles a taco bell quesadilla press. Add wheels to this grill and you would not be able to distinguish between them

Same, Rick!
Good morning. Happy 4th. Hope it isn't the last one.🖖☕️

And now for the traditional July 4th blessing: Happy Independence Day, may you end the day with as many fingers as you began it with.

Shame on The Economist. I really expected better than this.

I came to my 14 year old with a concern about social media. He literally took his glasses off, rubbed his temples, and asked: “what have the moms on the internet said now?” 😯🫤😆

Channel your anger. Promise yourself right now that you're going to get 5 people to vote this November, who don't typically vote.
