One of my favorite musicians, since the 70s, and the strongest motivating reason I've had compassion and understanding for our trans comrades as Wendy gave me insight into how the people transitioning themselves felt.
Alito's comments about Pornhub reminded me that Wendy Carlos gave her first interview about her gender dysphoria and sex change to Playboy in 1979

This is wishcasting. The Dems won't do any of those things. We already know it.

Just those two paragraphs are a list of things progressives have begged the party to do for the last 4 decades & the party has never lifted a finger to make any of it happen, that's not changing.

We definitely don't want any of these groups"fiddling with" the power/internet connections of these new data centers, given how vulnerable they are. Major downtime would make these critical-to-AI-infrastructure unprofitable and even costly. We wouldn't want that to happen, right? 😀

Whole genre of fiction involving time travellers going back to stop awful people from ending the world and yet here we are knowing exactly who to stop and not doing it.
Most ordinary people care about this if they understand the problem. We could make even more progress and further mitigate the consequences of climate change if we dealt with the cause of so many of our problems: the handful of billionaires who seem to control our governments.
With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.

10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C

20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C

So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

It's an important point, I feel. Also: What kind of scum goes to a racist shit hole like Target?

They tell us that dangerous people are on the loose, threatening our communities.

But if anyone is dangerous, it is those who would do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe—those who sell their capacity to inflict violence to the highest bidder.

Crush ICE.

And now... nothing happens.

This is a discharge petition. First, there can be no introduction of a vote, for 7 days. "Ripening".

Then, assuming Johnson actually schedules a vote and it actually passes, then it faces the Senate, where it's DOA, and would never get Trump's signature.

EVEN THEN...

What's going to happen with the "Epstein Files"?

NOTHING

Nothing will come of any release of these "files". No matter what's in them. It's all been the a colossal distraction, from everything the fascists have been doing to harm Americans, and solidify their power & the Ds aided the Rs, as always.
