I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Once the Epstein files are released, DO NOT let the people who enabled MAGA claim that they were tricked. These people knew what was going on with the GOP for years because we have been telling them, they just didn't care.

I looked up the list: 4 are airport books about AI, two are about how scientists lie about everything, one is a book about how to establish a healthy corporate culture that values feedback, one is by Peter Thiel, and one is The Wealth of Nations

The longevity of the Mafia in Italy serves as a warning that, once this style of rule embeds itself in the state, it is “very difficult to extract,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

But god forbid a kid should pick out a library book without parental consent!
LAUSD, the second-largest school district in the country, has enabled chatbots on student devices without even notifying parents or providing any means of opting out.
I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

best argument for UBI is that every random lifehack on earth will be youtubed and cataloged if out of work programmers can just hang out at home for a few months until they get bored and look for work out of intrinsic motivation rather than desperation starting the day they get pinkslipped

School lunches get a bad rap, but they're healthier than the average packed lunch. And making them free for all amplifies academic and health benefits for low-income kids by removing stigma/shame.
So I'm glad Colorado voted to raise taxes on high-income households to make school meals free for all.

But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!
