Just destroy the planet. We don’t need it. 🙄
The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts raised by some scientists and activists.
Here’s what to look out for:

EPA just approved new ‘forever chemical’ pesticides for use on food
Critics warn the EPA’s approvals of new PFAS pesticides could expose more Americans to “forever chemicals” through their food.

America has been destroyed. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know the federal justice system has been collapsed, so they can kidnap and incarcerate whomever they want.

Finally watching Hazbin Hotel. I had no idea Keith David could sing. What a crazy show. It’s like Disney for adults. And yes, there is singing. Broadway style songs. Disney movie style songs. With cuss words. It’s kinda glorious.

Appropriately strong wording from @NWSChicago AFD regarding the potential for multiple intense bands of lake effect snow tonight into Monday morning.
Extremely heavy snow with zero visibility, high winds, and lightning possible in the strongest bands.

One of my "go to" responses to the woefully simplistic retort that climate changes naturally only.

Anyone demanding someone to smile needs to take a long look at themselves, including Target corporate. I'm all for guest service, hell, I've been in the retail industry (yes, it is, but we've been taught not to treat it that way) 40 years as of October 30th, '25, but guest service is simply treating
go folksy go brokesy
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

I don't know if it's the relief that finally some things in elections went hopeful last night, or if it's the full moon this morning, but today so far has been a lighter, happier day.

The number of replies saying they can’t read the transcript or couldn’t make it very far to read it is striking. Including me.
Ladies and Gentlemen: The President of the United States.
Only about a third of the Trump interview aired on "60 Minutes." CBS has published the transcript of the complete interview here —> www.cbsnews.com/news/read-fu...

JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.
With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

How artists behind Marvel, Alien, and the Matrix movies are fighting AI
With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

Discovered I could actually get a ticket refund for a movie event I bought about a month ago. Minus the service fee of course. Refunds for tickets should be allowed because shit happens or people are just too tired to drive 1 1/2 hrs each way, as is my case tonight. #midwestproblems

Oh so now the fucker is warning that social security and medicare will be gone. He understands nothing. Only how rich people live. My gawd. I hope people who voted for this dumb fucking oligarch are the first to become homeless at 65, because that's what's going to happen. Homeless 65 year olds.

This. Fucking THIS all day, every day. But a lot of regular people do talk about him this way when we’re with like minded people. And No Kings reminded us we need to connect with more like minded people.
It’s just incredible this isn’t the way everyone talks about him
Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."

Nothing says we got to Trump more than when he reposts a video of himself dropping shit on American people.
He likes to pretend his skin is thick, but it’s mostly bronzer and bandaids.
Well done, everyone. #NoKings

I am not sure who decided this trio/quad was needed at protests, but these character inflatables were at ours too. In podunk Quincy, IL. Minus, the shark tho - a very missed opportunity.
