As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.
It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

![Comic. [Two people on shore looking at body of water] PERSON 1: Hey, where’s that big island we were looking at this morning? PERSON 2 with short hair: Oh, it’s underwater. The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects. PERSON 1: *What???* [caption] People here are used to them, but tides are one of the weirdest and most sci-fi elements of life on Earth.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreidj2tdqhkgoamiqf5reqt7kvbpt26x3cgjxsp4rtwwb46qumcltdq@jpeg)

If straightness and cisness are so “natural,” why yall enforcing it with jail and guns?
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle."
1. The situation in Florida is growing more tense with the erasure of Pride crosswalks.
After state officials painted over the Pulse Memorial sidewalk in Orlando, Florida Citizens painted them back.
Now the state has sent 7 squad cars to stare at the crosswalk.

At #Quaker Meeting, we will "hold ___ in the Light," similar to how others will pray for people and situations.
Today we held bees in the Light, and I think that's just a quintessential Quaker tableau.

We all need to discern our calling concerning Gaza. Genocide is not something we should look away from; we need to be guided on how we can best help stop the genocide.

I really wish Marvel would pivot from the MCU to the XCU. X-Men and Mutants make more sense without the Avengers and the 40+ projects that have come before. X-Men deserve a fair shot, not to be shoehorned into the end of an era.

Quakers insisted on fixed-pricing because of their deeply-held sense of equality. Their integrity in business is why so many companies wanted to brand as a "Quaker company".
Fixed-pricing won because it is right. "Customized pricing" is prejudice.
Fixed-pricing won because it is right. "Customized pricing" is prejudice.
Customized pricing – where each customer receives a different price for the same product – is a holy grail for businesses because it boosts profits. With customized pricing, free-spending people pay more while the price-sensitive pay less. (via @us.theconversation.com)
Personalized pricing has spread across many industries. Here's how consumers can avoid it
As AI powers individualized pricing across industries, businesses are increasingly charging based on what they think you can pay.

Every time one of these reveals happens, I think about how the FBI put out a report **in 2006** warning that white supremacists were actively taking over US law enforcement organizations, and no one did a damn thing.
