Icymi: The government shutdown ended with a federal ban on marijuana above 0.4 grams — effectively destroying the $28-billion hemp industry, and hard-hitting farmers at the worst possible time.
Many of us use marijuana to stay calm; unlike alcohol, it *reduces* violent crime — it doesn’t *cause* it

It’s too bad that those of us on the research and academic side who’ve been correctly saying that the goal for the Republicans was global ethnic cleansing and mass murder have been getting smeared by liberals and others on this site as conspiracy theorists or doomers for pointing this out months ago
Ooh, @bigthink.com this exchange between @joscha.bsky.social and Jeffrey Epstein is so eugenics-smeared. Contemplating using climate change and involuntary euthanasia of infirm and elderly to cull the population… I think I’m going to be ill.

Hey folks,
I just had to renew my health insurance and I’ve got to pay my car registration this month—all while I’ve finally got the big move to a permanent new home underway. I could use about $300 so I don’t get overdrawn in a few days. See the post below if you can help. Many thanks.
