But man, I predict this is gonna piss off MILLIONS of Americans.
And many of them will be more than willing to actually VOTE about it.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

So, on the one hand, the last 5-6 years of low/no licensed “hemp” industry have been a mess, and lost of bullshit has accrued with minimal oversight.
On the other hand, given all this: I think we have a good case for “how bad can uncontrolled weed get?” and…not that bad!

Plastic surgeons in DC are being asked by Trump insiders to get plastic surgery that's obvious and in keeping with "Mar-a-Lago face."

It really is!
(fwd’d a ton last nite— h/t @moiradonegan.bsky.social)
But, as @adamserwer.bsky.social notes in the replies, the head makes for a classic case of “didn’t open it, but enjoy my half-baked feels!”.
So, give it a read?
It’s a helpful corrective to the popular “men in disarray” mythos.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
