The Senate is expected to vote down a bill Wednesday that would create a federal right to contraception access after many Republicans said they oppose the legislation as unnecessary and government overreach.

I miss the days when the GOP was pro-life in a way that meant, here’s a decoy rabbit at the track that the dogs chase round and round while the GOP would do absolutely nothing actually pro-life legislatively or otherwise.

Love my pihole for sure. Bit I never allow my tv to connect to the internet - and why I would never buy a Roku branded TV.

Cars may be a nice faraday cage for the occupants, but the computer and electronics will still be fried. So you couldn’t drive it, nor charge it anywhere.

a man who depends on being the President to stay out of jail will do anything necessary to continue being President until he dies we know exactly what this looks like, and it's not an encouraging model: Bibi Netanyahu

lack of shame was Trump’s superpower and the way in which he was uniquely terrible for society, because he showed all of his supporters that if you simply refuse to be shamed there is nobody who can make you society’s rules only work if a critical mass agrees on them, and we’ve lost it

If Joe Biden wants to take our lead water pipes, he’s going to have to pry them from our muscle fatigued hands once we’ve reached such a state of mental confusion that we don’t really understand what’s happening!

When Uber started doing surge pricing, I would just find an alternative. I know that was by design in some way, but boy did it curtail my use of the service permanently. I don’t eat at Wendy’s, but if I did I would sure as shit stop doing so if pricing is unpredictable or kills the value prop.

You know where they won? The Supreme Court. It is and will continue to un-democratically and unilaterally strip freedoms, protections and cobble regulation and the role of the federal government. That’s it. They won. It’s arguably more important than the false red wave, and other losses.

Doing a puzzle at a vacation house (beach or ski) is literally the absolute last thing I want to do. What is that? Like I want to stare at some oddly shaped pieces of cardboard and put them together to make a bad picture is… fun? Relaxing?

The conservative movement wants a government small enough to drown in a bathtub and big enough to control what you do, think, say, or read, how you act, whom you love, sleep with or marry, and when and whether or not you have children. You know, freedom. bsky.app/profile/coop...

I’m in my 50s and grew up, literally since I can remember, to my parents listening to WAMU. Every single car ride, breakfast before school, evenings as my mother cooked. I have largely continued this and will be shocked and saddened if WAMU goes automatic and cuts its original journalism.

The entire point of a public radio station operated by a university with a huge endowment should be that it’s insulated from market pressures and able to provide local and national news. WAMU is, from everything I’ve seen, profitable and stable. Why does it need a “strategic shift”?

What is remarkable is that no-one has made a compelling argument that Biden's age has affected his decisionmaking or performance as President, whereas Trump's erratic behavior and deep self-interest did so in a myriad of ways.
