The right thinks the left will fight to protect Bill Clinton. The actual left thinks the middle will fight to protect Bill Clinton. But I want to believe — tonight as winter creeps closer, and even the tiniest glimmer of hope is impossibly precious — that nobody would protect Bill Clinton.

this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out

It’s been 15 years since Congress raised the minimum wage.

In that time, costs for rent, groceries, and utilities have soared.

Americans deserve a raise.

the easiest out for the elites in pedo club is to find one scapegoat and the easiest one is him but he's also the king of the shit mountain that they live on and how this plays out is going to eventually lead to about 2 dozen movies

My accent is one of those still holding out against the wine/whine merger but you can almost hear /ʍ/ disappearing in real time in the south of Scotland

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
