Hell yeah, best of luck to the United Brothel Workers, and I hope other courtesans throughout Nevada's brothels follow suit.

Nevada is the only state where people can legally purchase sex, and now sex workers at one of the state’s oldest brothels are fighting to become the nation’s first to be unionized.

Wild that we knew all this 40 years ago, and yet we as a species continue to fail to do anywhere near enough with that knowledge. Is my generation gonna punt on the greenhouse effect like my parents' and grandparents' generations did?

Another day, another instance of DHS agents pursuing uncharted depths of immorality and injustice.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Contention over Colorado River water would be a complete non-issue if California would take advantage of that nice long coastline it has and build some desalination plants.
This also has a lot less to do with tech bros than it does with farmers trying to grow water-intensive crops in the Mojave.

This vacant lot is across the street from the CID light rail station, Sounder, and Amtrak! A waste!
The parking lot pays less than half the property tax of the office building to the west 🤪.
Land value tax would fix this.

The trump regime is violating all the rules named in Mt 25 as reasons for being sent to hell, regardless of whether you call Jesus Lord or not.
That is the same section where some got the theory about goat and sheep nations from.
So by that logic, the USA became a goat nation by electing trump.

This is precisely why we lean into patriotism. Our patriotism, the patriotism of Lady Liberty and Union bayonets and the arsenal of democracy, not their bullshit racist "patriotism." They love the Stars and Bars not the Stars and Stripes.
Samuel Johnson once wrote "that man is little to be envied whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon" and I think the same can be said of any American whose heart does not swell at least a little at the words of the New Colossus inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this UFO Sunset Blanket. Aliens and cowboys have a lot in common. They both venture through new frontiers. A tractor beam is essentially just an advanced lasso. And most importantly, they both smoke hand-rolled cigarettes because it looks cool.

I wonder if Rowling thinks “Don't Stand So Close” and “I'll Be Watching You” are simple love songs?
Whats one of Rowling's favourite books that she called a "great and tragic love story"? And what was Epstein's jet called?

That's how I judge whether the time I've spent waiting at a red light has been unreasonably long.
please tell me i’m not the only one who measures time using songs like “oh, it only took me 2 songs to get here”

Opposition to universal basic income from the left tends to lean on "Why include the rich and not just target the poor?" Here's a table I made to help understand. Means-testing means both false negative and false positive errors. Universality means no more false negative errors, which can be fatal.

This video is an absolute masterpiece, and I'm glad it exists… and I'm also horrified that it has to exist. Every last second of it is basic common sense that anyone with two braincells to rub together should recognize as self-evidently correct — and yet somehow it's up for debate. How‽

“Better” is a strong word, but I heard Moustache's cover of Fleetwood Mac's “Everywhere” while shopping for dashcams at Best Buy and I gotta admit it's a hell of a bop.
