It's not funny at all that the line the Republicans are drawing is

- we want military domestic surveillance
- we want autonomously-firing weapons

Could anything go wrong there, hmmmm

...art in fact holds people in conversations, acts to limit or to reduce the sense of isolation and loneliness, that it raises difficult topics in order to deepen our understanding and build up our resilience."

The author of Oscar Wao, Junot Díaz, told NPR in an interview: "I generally resist the idea that there's something supremely deterministic, or supremely dangerous, about art.

I just find that always to be coming out of a perspective that willfully misunderstands art – and the way that...

What we remember as "favorite" isn't always what supported us to grow the most. Btw.

SAG-AFTRA, representing employees at KTLA and WGN, released a statement to Variety, calling the layoffs "evidence of dangerous media consolidation in the Nexstar $6.2 billion merger with Tegna. This consolidation makes the decision to cut local newsroom jobs particularly troubling.”

"The fervent popularity of Heated Rivalry suggests that for many, the real romantasy is not sex & romance w/ dragons & fairies, but sex & romance w/o misogyny & gendered hierarchy. If the only way to get that in today’s media environment is through sex & romance without any women, they’ll take it."

context matters more than a headline

That's all. That's the post.

Maybe it will bring the insights we need, today, to feel a part of something bigger, a direction to face the warmth, and the courage to take a step, then another, and then another.

So perhaps it will make tomorrow better.

Understand history, storytelling, and human psychology. And we'll be okay.

Police did not help me feel safer.

No doctor helped me feel safer.

No lawyer helped me feel safer.

Pushback against wanna-be authoritarians helps me feel safe in my own neighborhood and state, today.

A palpable sense of insecurity surged when Facebook+Xitter allowed open hating of trans people and sharing white supremacy content in 2015, the year of a presidential election aided by a troll farm

You said it! And it's an admission of defeat on a level by Homan.

I miss seeing people from other countries visit, and yes, it's noticeable

Signed a Californian, who like other Californians knows that taking care of our environment is good for the economy - and for each other - and for our visitors - and recent arrivals, which there always are

Dems know this, which is why this is the "condition" for funding ICE: They don't actually care about changing the status quo.

Anyone with two braincells and a minimal knowledge of the constitution knows that the only one who can enforce violations of law is the DOJ anyway.

Reminder that more people work at Arby’s than in the entire coal industry

This isn't a Cassidy let's just see what happens with Ai moment.

“I knew that if during the race I would feel tired, I wasn’t allowed to feel tired,” Leerdam said after clinching gold. “I told myself: ‘You have 80 years to recover from this. You can feel tired after. You don’t want to live with that regret. You fought so hard for this.’”

Trans civil rights are about limiting institutional harm and ensuring equal access to public life, not compelling personal belief or moral heroism.

I don’t owe the world my compliance, my sacrifice, or my silence — I owe it my refusal to become what I oppose.

Morality is not what justifies action.

Morality is what limits what you will do, even for a good cause.

Let your knowledge guide care, not conscript you into obligation.

Erneuerbare Energien: Überspringt Indien das fossile Zeitalter? Ja, sagt Energieanalyst Kingsmill Bond. Indien elektrifiziere sogar schneller als China. Weltweit sei die Elektrotechrevolution voll im Gang. Und das auch wegen Trump.

Ja, sagt Energieanalyst Kingsmill Bond. Indien elektrifiziere sogar schneller als China. Weltweit sei die Elektrotechrevolution voll im Gang. Und das auch wegen Trump.

STAC needs to explain this outrageous statement. What are they thanking Trump for? He proposed a devastating #NIH 40% budget cut & a 15% cap on overhead costs. Congress listened to us & rejected them.

Scientists are leaving the US, taking their talent with them.

More power to those bringing their ideas of femininity and feminine roles into science.

You know who you are.

It's way past overdue.

Puerto Ricans are, of course, US citizens, though they lack representation in Congress and a vote in presidential elections.

Here's what the State of Petroleum has to say:

“Texas has every right to pass responsible laws that protect our energy industry and prevent investment firms from using Texans’ own money to push political agendas that would undermine our economy.”

So economy over environment, Texas says

99 problems - maybe - but having any contact ever with Jeffrey Epstein was never one of them

It's rich to hear Billionaire US investor Ken Griffin accuse Trump White House of ‘enriching’ itself

His statement is still true.

Institutions are dangerous.

So is life without them.
