Anti-trans lunatics like Rowling would have you believe every single trans woman is a sexual predator and every single trans man is a deluded young woman without autonomy. These arguments only stand if you stay in your f*cking castle and talk to bots all day.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment?

I think we can all agree that we really need a response option that's not a heart. Unless it's broken. Or bleeding. Or there's a knife stabbed through it. Which would mean it was bleeding so hey, a twofer.

Folks, this is a scam.
The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.
Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

In the 2015 year report the USDA-APHIS website records show a cattle death loss in the state of Idaho of over 41,000, 29,000 of which died of what amounts to neglect, lack of food, water, shelter or fresh air.
Wolves killes ~300
But ranchers blame their failed business model on the wolves.

I don’t think we fully appreciate the insane hubris of acting like you can send a couple of IT guys into a massive and complex government department and they will uncover in days what career watchdogs tasked with monitoring for waste, fraud, and abuse couldn’t.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

We cannot support the state of hunting today.
Once, long ago, hunting was how people fed themselves.
today subsistence hunting has been largely replaced with thrill killing.
With only 4% of mammals being wildlife, it's time to give them a break and end the pretenses of hunting as conservation.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as 2027, with a likely window within 9-20 years after 2023. This won’t bring dramatic change overnight, but it marks a fundamental shift in the Arctic’s natural environment—a stark warning about climate change. #ActOnClimate
