Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

I missed this xkcd when it came out earlier, but it made me laugh out loud. The joke, which is aimed at a very small group of people, is that the graph is shaped like the light curve (the change in brightness over time) of a classic supernova. Brightens fast, peaks, fades slowly.

There was lead in EVERY tampon they tested.
There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic.
Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. 🙃

🎯Our leaders lied to us to get us back to working and spending. Demand clean air at work & public spaces, wear N95 before they maim you for life. Long Covid has no cure or treatments. If you hate all this, an N95 is also a symbol of resistance, not just a life-saver ✊😷

Imagine for one second if the NYT marshaled its massive influence towards voter registration, towards supporting voting rights groups, towards encouraging people to vote and fighting people who try to stop people from voting. Imagine if the NYT actually championed participatory democracy.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

“‘The crows come to the house and scream to warn us that there is no more water ... it’s our alarm,’ says Ortiz Ramos.” The US border wall cut off wildlife access to a natural spring, leaving numerous species without a water source in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. It’s one of many consequences.

WIRED caught an AI company scraping its articles w/o permission. Turns out, Amazon was hosting the machine doing the scraping, even though that violates Amazon's terms of service.
Oh! And the AI company is funded by Jeff Bezos.

If this mysterious drug comes up at the debate (as it likely will), I think Biden should say, "Well, they offered me the drug that'd make me babble about shark and batteries under water, and say I was smart because my uncle taught at MIT, but we decided against it."

I think it's totally insane that more people don't know about PrEP. The fact that we have a prophylactic medication to prevent HIV is one of the greatest medical achievements of my lifetime. It's hard to explain just how hopeless the fight against AIDS felt in the 80s and 90s.
