Cops ran hundreds of searches for license plates using targeted and offensive terms such as "roma" and "g*psy," and in many instances, without any mention of a suspected crime---perpetuating systemic harm by demeaning individuals based on their race or ethnicity. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

you can be critical without targeting the mainly poor and rural demographics who are being abandoned by both sides. there's no reason for making fun of people's teeth, which furthers embarrassment of the ones who do not support the current administration. do better.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

17 year old Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1931.
Ruth's fee fees were hurt and threw a tantrum on how women were too delicate to play baseball. Due to his toddler like antics, women were banned from being signed in the MLB 1992.

![A few days after Mitchell struck out Ruth and Gehrig, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided her contract and declared that women were unfit to play baseball as the game was "too strenuous."[5][12] However, Mitchell continued to play professionally, barnstorming with the House of David, a men's team famous for their very long hair and long beards. 13) While traveling with the House of David team, she would sometimes wear a fake beard for publicity. [14]
Mitchell retired in 1937 at the age of 23 after
becoming furious since her story about playing baseball was being used as something of a side show - once being asked to pitch while riding a donkey. [12] She refused to come out of retirement when the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League formed in 1943.[14 Major League Baseball would formally ban the signing of women to contracts on June 21, 1952, [12] The ban lasted until 1992 when Carey Schueler was drafted by the Chicago White Sox for the 1993 season.

been waiting since i started therapy to get my turn for ADOS testing. they decided this year that any drug use means you are ineligible for testing, and that i am addicted to cannabis and thus cannot test for ADHD or autism... time to either rejoin the wait list or pay out of pocket

Increasing temperatures from climate change have led to a 40% reduction in blue whale “songs” in just the past 6 years alone.
“It’s like trying to sing while you're starving,” said John Ryan, a biological oceanographer.

Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign
A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?
