It took 50 years for the Dept of Labor to update its federal standard to better protect coal miners from the deadly silica dust that’s driving an epidemic of black lung across Appalachia.

Now, the Republicans are trying to kill it: t.co/lTtAzS5Vq4

The salary is shocking and also in line with university pay for non-tenured faculty and researchers in the social sciences.

Don't drag Clooney too much for wanting Biden out. If it weren't for the impossible and bad faith timing, I'd want him to not run for re-election, too.

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

Charging for parking is a social good and you should not vandalize meters Cars are a plague on urban development and free parking contorts that development in a way that helps keeps housing costs sky high and cities get away with not building mass transit

Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.

But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.

Guess where the new plants will be placed:

When I was growing up, some scumfuck from the statehood party, the New Progressive Party, suggested that Puerto Rico export its children to US couples as athletes and models.

Reposting one of my replies, but a reminder: Puerto Ricans do not uniformly want statehood, the party that drives statehood is a group of authoritarian scammers who have run the island into the ground while perpetuating racist stereotypes of the value of Puerto Rico and its people.

@bsky.app You're not going to become a major platform among professionals by employing this kind of indiscriminate labeling to censor art, commercial or otherwise

@support.bsky.team this is something you should look into ASAP, unless you want drive accomplished users from your site

What Alito meant: "[W]e must be wary of Democrats who seek to transform federal courts into 'weapons of political warfare' that will deliver victories that eluded them 'in the political arena.' We have to facilitate this for Republicans, though."

There's no two ways about it. One of the major reform efforts of the next few decades of American politics needs to be reining in the Supreme Court. They've overstepped their role in our political system and this power Roberts now wields is not tethered to the framers' original intent.

Meanwhile the suggested pages is full of catfish and travel scams, plus television show spoilers I think it's functionally dead, seems like most accounts are not real humans, but maybe bad AI generated scam accounts, groups, and posts

Curious how France is described as political chaos because two parties with ≈60% of the seats in Parliament will negotiate a PM, whereas Netanyahu is always described as the will of the Israeli people, rather than the negotiated choice among eight parties with 53% of the seats.

It's definitely not real, I've seen this post 50+ times, with a different picture in each and another account behind it. Same exact text, down to the emojis and spacing. It's systematic impersonation!

It seems to suggest more and more things I've aggressively reported and blocked lmao Instead I this exact post - text and emojis - over and over again, with different photos. There's some variations of them, especially one that claims the person is Venetian (why Venice, lol)

Consider the scale of the company, it seems like public officials should intervene. And when I say intervene, I mean it's clearly being used extensively for criminal activity! And you can't even report it to the platform! It's way more lawless than Twitter, and that's saying a lot.

The spoilers are really bad, but I've been getting the same disturbing catfish copypastas the last month, and at least one travel scam. I've been reporting them aggressively and within *seconds* Facebook claims to review and reject. Out of every 100 I report, 1 gets flagged on 2nd review.

The single most infuriating thing is that Facebook is harder to contact than the President. I have a better chance at getting Joe Biden to hear my grievances than Facebook Support. I have obvious catfishing/identity scam suggestions and endless show spoilers. Does Facebook know how bad it is now?
