ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

I don’t get it. Are the AI bots here to counter… the other AI bots?

I support trans people because I’m not an asshole.

But I will become more than an asshole if it comes to that.
My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today.

If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

‘Jukebox Hero’ might be the most dramatic song ever recorded.

Absolutely. And though I’m against the EC in general, I think a compromise could come in the form of each state splitting their electoral votes based on vote totals. If a state has 10 electoral votes, and the results are 48% blue and 52% red, then divide it between 4.8 votes/5.2 votes.
Today, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez proposed a new task for to look at electoral reforms which could break up the two party system in Congress, expand the number of House districts, and move the House to a form of proportional representation.

It's a very, very good idea.

The bipartisan task force would investigate structural reforms like multimember districts and adding more House members in an effort to address growing polarization and distrust of Congress.

This seems like an ironic thing to say on a social media platform, but journaling > posting.

Ok, so, here’s a glimmer of… something other than doom.

The pick of John Thune is NOT what MAGA wanted.

He’s not a good guy, and no Republican can be trusted at this point. But it suggests Trump will face obstacles and gridlock.

Not great, but better than the alternative.

So… find it wherever.

Question: who came over here from Threads? Just curious.
November 12, 2024 at 6:08 PM
Hey! Gonna spend more time here. I’ve deleted X and have been using Threads, but I feel like it’s only a matter of time until it becomes another oligarch-controlled cesspool.

I’m a doom-scrolling, gigging chef/caterer, father of an adult child and a senior dog, functionally atheist human person.

Hello! New here, and with only a handful of followers.

Question: it seems that my feed will predominantly feature one person that I’m following. I tried unfollowing that person, only to be replaced by somebody else I’m following.

Is that normal?
