Being called preachy for simple facts and basic logic reinforces why there's a division of people that believe public schools are indoctrinating children.
All we can do is weather the intellectual acedia while speaking to those willing to learn.

Always pumped for a new release, but I'm listening through Vaxis III. I've gotta say...
... this album is 100% clicking with me. The subtle references and allusions are hitting. A concept album that both commands and earns it's place in-universe.
Continuum time.

The work of CFPB is wildly popular with Americans. You know the people who don’t like it? Firms trying to rip off and scam Americans. In case you are wondering who the Trump admin is serving….
New — CFPB employees received an ominous email from Russell Vought a few minutes ago.

Honestly, I'm all for this influencing the contrarianism that some Republicans normally skew towards.
"Oh no. Not the Electoral College. Please, leave it alone. I beg you."

All I see are two judges that feel the incoming legislature and executive administrations have no respect for the rule of law and decided that working for the country was more important than retirement.

For those of you upset about a pardon:
If you couldn't rely on laws to be unbiased and protect you from threats to your lives, you'd probably build a fence and acquire a gun with what power you have.
This is the same vein. The real tragedy is the loss of trust in the system.

This is the real potential of Bluesky. A social media model that works in favor of the users and advertisers will inevitably be the preferred platform for as long as it maintains that model.
NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.”

Finally plugged in my GB Operator, and started with my copy of Pokemon Yellow.
One glance at the boxes on this save, and I know I was a heathen. Level 17 Articuno? LAWLESS.
The Pokedex is also unfinished, because of course it was. I'm looking up glitch options, because of course I am.

"The Greatest Generation did their best to psychologically prepare their kids for a world that could fall apart at any second and then they built a world that wouldn't."
Saw this quote within a video about "boomers and trauma". I think it's a good wide-angle shot on the behaviors we see today.
