Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend and I still have Christmas decorations up because they've been buried in snow since the second week of January.

He's right of course. Employer-linked benefits aren't natural law but a WWII wage-control workaround we never bothered to fix. It's also why Americans are afraid to start businesses or leave bad jobs. We've chained risk-taking to a paycheck.

And now it's out, and you can listen to it!

And check your registration status often as well.

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

These words are designed to slide off of our brains and be forgotten.

Say it plainly: No murdering children overseas. No locking up children in concentration camps here. No pedophiles in government or any positions of authority. No Republican freaks inspecting children's genitals.

"... to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus ..."

This is definitely the worst Evangelion remake so far.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

How did this go the last time we tried that in Iran? It went great, right? Like super good for decades?

guy in a zombie movie who is hiding that he got bit from everyone

I'm tired of world events dropping with the same frequency as movies in a superhero cinematic universe.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

They're remote control robot (not autonomous) that scans everyone's face and they sell the data for recurring income or hand it to police when necessary. You also have your face scanned when they arrive at drop off. Door Dash recently offered an opt out for these things. Make sure you check it off

According to our sources in Williamsport, the vehicles have arrived.

The number of people who seem utterly convinced this dude can’t be a Nazi because he says he’s pro-worker is just depressing.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Something like this would seem very partisan at a time when Americans care more about "kitchen sink" issues. I'm sure a "strongly worded letter" is being drafted instead.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

I'm sure Schumer is preparing a VERY strongly worded letter.

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.

Just remember that you don't have to stare into the doom rectangle all day to be aware of what's going on. You're not a bad person for taking a break.

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

And if this unconstitutional, illegitimate, murderous, fascist regime wants to come after us, I say ...
