Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Please feel free to call your own rep if you feel similarly! You can find them here: www.house.gov/representati...

Yeah, my city stopped collecting glass in the mixed bins, so I have a bin to collect it until I get enough to go to a drop off location. There they actually have these big long dumpsters for 3 different colors: clear, brown, and green. I don’t know where to put the occasional deep blue ones though.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

"Sometimes I wonder if all this coverage is because the media knows how to cover a normal problem like a sub-par candidate; they don’t know how to cover something as abnormal and unprecedented as the end of the republic. So for the most part they don’t."

Long election campaigns also put the emphasis, over and over again, ON THE ELECTION rather than on governing: like voting is all we as citizens have to do; like winning is the most important quality in a candidate. GOVERNING. The thing is GOVERNING. Elections should be a means of accountability+

There. Now can we please stop with the media-driven panic about Biden and get our focus back where it belongs? Direct your fire at Trump and the GOP. You know — the ones threatening to turn the American democratic republic into a theofascist dictatorship.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

If someone doesn’t want to date you because you shortened your hair, then you probably wouldn’t want to date them. I mean, if something actually serious happened like an accident or a death in the family where you need support they’re probably going to bail.

Today marks a year since I drew this. It's still my favorite experience that I've had on bluesky. The reactions and kind words helped me find a confidence in the art I make and I started pushing myself to learn more.

Thanks again @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com for sharing your lovely little story. 🙂

Update: I now understand why the line was out the door. The bread on these sammiches is amazing—I got the jalapeño cheese—and the prices are very reasonable. Especially since I can only eat half of this. I got two meals for ten bucks. Ottawa peeps, this is 50 Two Sandwiches in Nepean.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

Dear Reporters,

If you’re interviewing a theocrat who says “all our laws are based on the Ten Commandments” and you don’t immediately ask them to provide evidence and examples for that laughably stupid claim, just go ahead and quit your job.

It took them about 15 minutes to decide that the actual text of section 3 of the 14th Amendment was unenforceable and optional, and months to deliberate on the extent of a completely invented presidential immunity that’s not in the constitution at all. Objectively pro-insurrection behavior

One of the reason it's taking time to get that money to states is because they're trying to do it correctly (mapping broadband more accurately, etc.) another reason is Republicans at the FCC screwed up a previous program (RDOF) so badly, Biden put the NTIA and states in charge of this one
