It never used to be dark by 5pm. They're doing this to demoralize you

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Missouri anti-LGBTQ laws linked to population loss and decline in tax revenue, studies find Studies are showing that Missouri's laws targeting gay and transgender people have already pushed LGBTQ+ residents to move — taking their tax dollars, and even businesses, elsewhere. One analysis estimates that Missouri has lost between $362 million to $879 million in household income, and that's expected to increase.

We must make a deal with the fire so as not to seem unreasonable to the arsonists

Only but a few of the many nicknames I've given my cats

Also a good time to check ALL of your Bluesky moderation settings

A couple of them were put into "Hide" without my action

Holy shit

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

A Kansas City man's tech startup is giving cash to SNAP recipients Propel makes a free app for people on food stamps. Led by Jimmy Chen, who grew up living with food insecurity in Kansas City, Propel is now giving some of its users $50 each to help offset the government's delayed SNAP payments.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Independence can keep its four-day school week after voters approve shorter schedule Independence adopted the shorter school week two years ago to attract and retain more teachers. More than 61% of voters decided on Tuesday that the school district can continue its four-day week.

I think y'all are ready to meet Kaylee's Parents!

Mom's name is Insidia!
Dad collects antiques! He has a lot of old family paintings and the family genes run strong!

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

I didn't personally lose it because it was already too late for me but I was told that medicaid in Missouri used to cover top surgery and doesn't anymore. Wasn't told what changed.
Made me mad to know that I could have had it sooner if it had still been covered

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Yeah I would absolutely not come to the US with ICE kidnapping random people

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

that way you can go on a vacation with your wife and write it off on your taxes as a "business trip"
I'm serious, my dad would do this

A realization that I had a few years ago is that most current day creatives you admire are probably working multiple jobs, and if they're lucky all of those jobs are creative, but many aren't.

Give yourself slack as you make ends meet, but also we all need to fight for better pay together.

so tired of hearing "this is not normal!!". ok so what are you gonna do about it?

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch

DHS Wants States to Hand Over Driver’s License Data for Citizenship Checks It’s the latest step in an unprecedented initiative to pool confidential data that the Trump administration claims will help identify noncitizens on voter rolls and tighten immigration enforcement.

JUST IN: The Department of Homeland Security says it intends to add state driver’s license information to a swiftly expanding federal system envisioned as a one-stop shop for checking citizenship, raising concerns about privacy and accuracy. www.propublica.org/article/dhs-...

Independence will vote on the 4-day school week. Other Missouri schools are watching closely A new Missouri law requires certain school districts to get voter approval to start or continue the four-day week.

AH YEAH SKELETON TIME 💀

There's a Right To Record ICE Raids--and There's No Blanket Immunity for Raiders Notwithstanding pronouncements from leading officials of the Trump administration, the consensus of federal courts is that the Constitution protects the right to record immigration raids, and federal ...

If ICE agents believe they have blanket immunity or that citizens have no right to record them, it’s up to the rest of us to disabuse them of that error.

A free society depends on public oversight of government force, and on courts that uphold that freedom. @walterolson.bsky.social
