These goddamned motherfuckers. No more Italian pasta on store shelves. Gummies and THC chocolates recriminalized. More cash handouts to MAGA criminals in the Senate. And no money for ACA subsidies or SNAP. This is what America gets because Democrats couldn't hold the line on the shudown. Assholes.
More than 15 Senate Democrats join GOP to advance nationwide ban on hemp products, including CBD gummies,

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.

In Italy labor unions helped start a network of left-leaning news/music radio stations that have become some of the staples of public information in much of the country. They now run on a donation / ads model, but initial investment was from labor. I think about this often.
The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

Happy #MapMonday! Since there was recent discussion on here about a Cuban Missile Crisis that went hot, I decided to feature this map made by rexnerdorum. It showcases how the Internet might look like post-WWIII and I love the retro style still existing into 2025.

I've been a bit quiet the last two weeks. Caught the classic early autumn community cold, and, well, a break's not so bad now and again.
But today's thread's about something you're probably already aware of—it's the 50th anniversary of the loss of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.

You spend your adult life fighting against a dictator with opulent, garish tastes. You finally prevail and walk the insides of the dictator’s abandoned palaces: gaudy, obscene, covered in gold bought with the people’s money.

I'll finish coverage of #StarTrekTNG's "The Drumhead" today. Do yourself a favour and rewatch the episode, if you haven't already. It's more relevant than it has ever been in the last (almost) 35 years since it first aired.

Indivisible is not playing. Warner thinks his constituents are rubes. It's time to replace him with someone who actually opposes fascism.
Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.
