As we head into fall in the northern hemisphere I am going to get REAL obnoxious about "leave your leaves!"
It's the EASIEST way you can help the ecosystem - just be lazy. If you're worried about your neighbors complaining, make a dedicated square with sign saying it's a wildlife refuge

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

The Nazis targeted disabled people first & pioneered the term “useless eater”
They convinced the masses that we were less than”. People taking up resources & not contributing in any way.
When Dr Oz says we must “prove our worth” to get Medicaid, he’s just resurrecting the concept.
Don’t let him

Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.

When I was at Starbucks someone got fired for getting drunk and telling her best friend about a new drink that was coming out, which I mention only because it seems like getting fired should be the LEAST punishment for leaking bombing plans to a journalist on ACCIDENT

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.
