My apologies to everyone who sees my feed. I'm dealing with my parents entering their twilight years & that's got me less filtered on a lot of topics than I ought to be.
This isn't an excuse if I've overstepped with you, just an explanation. I will endeavor to do better.

The answer, implied by how JW Mason phrased the question, is that the vacuum of space is an excellent insulator that would actually prevent cooling if one did not invest in an intensive cooling system involving massive radiators & active heat transfer systems.
This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

Israel, as a nation, has gone off the rails in its abuse of Palestinians, true.
There are Jews who are in the Epstein files, true.
This second fact not only doesn't inform the first, it doesn't say anything about Israel writ large.

Poor #DailyChester. Just as the groomer was finishing his muzzle, Chester licked his own face and they knicked his tongue, which of course bled profusely.
James has him at the vet but says “looks worse than it is”. Chester kept licking his face so he looks like something out of a horror film.

I don't know what "gut-healthy juices" are, but rotisserie chicken & other basic groceries are part of "not dying of starvation", not "luxury groceries".
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

“Why are democrats cutting ties with their MAGA family members??”
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

It's time to get off the internet when you're looking at a politician looking to run a primary against your senator & find yourself thinking "I can fix him".

Still a little mad about this. Dismissing craftivists (who are mostly women) as cringey bandwagoneers is bullshit. Not everyone is Extremely Online; communities form in person, too: PTA meetings, book club, grocery store, gas pump, daycare pickup, pharmacy, dog park, ice rink, stadium, etc etc etc
And they aren't all crowing about it on social media, so let's not assume that all the people in hats and buttons passing out whistles are doing nothing else. People - "wine moms," "knitters," who else do you think has ready access to breast milk? - are working behind the scenes for good.
A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.

The fundamentals of Virginians surviving & thriving are not dependent on any broken system. If you think they are, you need to stop, think, then shut your mouth and ACTUALLY THINK about what Virginians need

Very much disagree, focusing on buzzwords like “affordability” it the exact consultant induced path that led us here
I do not believe in the fundamentals of a broken system, I believe in breaking the system.
This is all over in 2 years by focusing on fundamentals and well be a surveillance state

Yeah, I'm currently investigating Discord replacements.

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.
