“Millennials born in 1990—at the peak of the generation—are twice as likely to develop colon cancer as Baby Boomers born in 1950.” I would really like someone to start asking why, after over a century of industrialization and decades of deregulation, we’re suddenly developing cancers earlier.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

if dems want people to vote this is the shit they need to be doing sure it doesn't have a chance in hell in the current house, but make representatives take a stance. show people that there is something to vote for and not just vague insinuations that maybe someone will do something sometime

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Hello new friends! Have a look at Messier 13. Visible to the naked eye, if the sky is dark enough. Edmund Halley spotted it in 1714 and wrote “This is but a little Patch, but it shews it self to the naked Eye, when the Sky is serene and the Moon absent.” Which, same. Image: ESA/Hubble, NASA

I’m not saying Biden needs to drop out, but I am saying the Biden Drop Outters need to start explaining how it leads to an electoral victory with or without Kamala. We’re past the point of “drop out, figure it out.” We need a plan & in the absence of one, Biden is at least *a* plan, however flawed

I can do social comments or Trello cards in markdown, but when I’m writing for real, my brain defaults to keyboard shortcuts. Cmd-K, Cmd-B, Cmd-Shift-8, Cmd-]. I have to think about markdown, whereas shortcuts just flow. For me at least. I also do all my writing 100% in Google Docs.

Just wanna say, I despise the Sonos app redesign. Sonos is pure utility for me, I do not need or want it to be a content hub. I just want it to make my home audio work wirelessly so I don't have to drop stereo cords through my drywall.
