seeing a lot of infighting on the timeline today and I know everyone is operating at their limit but I think it's worth remembering that we're all on the same side and then maybe recalibrating to point your anger in the direction of the fascists instead of each other idk

Trump golf course on the Gaza riviera? This is definitely better than a Harris administration would’ve done. 🙄

Reminder that a regime doesn’t need to be as bad as Nazis to qualify as really really really bad. Being “only” 1/10th Nazi is no victory, and no solace for those in opposition.

You spend years platforming and agreeing with Nazis and the next thing you know people are not charitably interpreting a hand gesture

If you cannot afford to tip well, you cannot afford to eat out. AND…the tipped minimum wage is a disgrace.
The tipped minimum wage has been $2.13 /hour since 1991.
If you’re upset that you are being forced to subsidize the wages of workers and your taxes go up to fund social safety nets, then call your member of Congress and demand that we make the tipped minimum wage a living wage.

Some may make soup as good as mine. Very few make better. The world is a dumpster fire but at least I can soothe via broth-based Prozac.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Also, I don't blame our loss on "DEI firefighters" or space lasers or antifa or Gavin Newsom or wokeness not allowing forest floors to be raked. There's no cartoon villain here. This was a catastrophic wind storm that caused bone dry vegetation to ignite. It's climate change.

In 1850, the California government banned the controlled burning that Indigenous people had been doing for centuries. The practice controlled the forest density, scaled down undergrowth, and promoted fire-resistant species. It reduced the severity, mileage, and overall number of forest fires. 1/5
