Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Louisiana Pro-Trump lawmakers passed income and corporate tax cuts, raising the statewide sales tax to pay for it. They are making the poor pay more while the rich pay less, and this is only going to get worse for the rest of the US.

I mean, onion person pretty much nailed it right? I wouldn't mind paying, especially if it's gonna keep this place from being overrun by ads.
no offense but i’d pay bluesky a small amount of every month compared to not doing it for twitter because elon musk is evil and so far bluesky hasn’t been evil. not having any ads on here at all has been a major reason why this platform rocks too and i’d contribute a little to keep it that way
Bluesky will be launching a subscription service by the end of the year. There are no details yet on how many tiers. Premium tiers will likely include higher-resolution pics, more/longer video uploads, and profile/page customization aesthetics. Longer term, there's a monetization plan for creators.

Biden has the power to call in an investigation into Trump’s nominees, media has the power to question the validity of the election, the US public has the power to hit the streets and demand a recount.
The options to stop or disrupt Trump are there, they exist, they just need someone to act.

This is such a big percentage, I hope we're able to further develop our understanding of these things to better help autistic individuals
Between 11 and 66% of autistic adults think about suicide during their lifetime, and up to 35% plan or attempt it (2020).
"Obviously, I'm wondering now, if part of that is being driven by the fact that nobody's understanding them, empathizing with them, you know, feeling what they're feeling."
