Boo fucking hoo. This entire article is a big "not all men" posterboard. Violence against women is rising, and to this day I dont know a single woman without a story (or 20). Little boys can learn to respect women the same way little girls learn to yell fire. Fuck off

Capitalizing on women who are sometimes in the most vulnerable, scared, and confused time in their life is deplorable. It's beyond disgusting.
This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.
Supreme Court case about ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ highlights debate over truthful advertising standards
There are some 2,500 of these centers across the United States. Many are located within a mile of an abortion provider.

Keir Starmer, announcing new strategy, says ‘toxic ideas are taking hold early and going unchallenged’

There’s power outages across the state and downed power lines all over. If you see a downed power line, move away from it and anything touching it. Keep 35 feet away. You can’t tell if a power line is energized by looking at it. Call 911 if there’s danger. Call your utility to just report the line.

Video from Auburn. For context this is a farm field, not a lake (note the floating pumpkins). Things are only going to get worse as the rain continues this week.

Creepy, zany and demonstrably fake content is often called “slop.” The word's proliferation online, in part thanks to the widespread availability of generative artificial intelligence, landed it Merriam-Webster's 2025 word of the year.
Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is 'slop'
Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is “slop.” The word was first used in the 1700s to mean soft mud. It evolved more generally to mean something of little value.
