Local #CVS, the drawer won't balance tonight because the cashier just handed me back my bills in change, skipped the #pennies due, and walked away. Or will it balance--are cashiers keeping the pennies? Is your computer system rounding in some way? It's nice to explain @cvsextrabucks.bsky.social

It's really unfair to the people who have to be the "model" gay/Mexican/female/trans/whatever person who causes them to see the light either--how exhausting. The burden should be on the observer to empathize--and it shouldn't be a burden.

Another great example is relativity of sexism or harassment--"Would you want your mother/sister/daughter to have to experience that?" How about just this individual who's experiencing it--is her pain only understandable when you can think of her in relation to someone from your own family?

Repubs famously oppose rights for people from marginalized groups, until they discover that they have one in their family ("oops, my son is gay; now I'm for gay rights" or "huh, my daughter married a Mexican"), and then they see the light. It shouldn't have to happen. Have empathy for fellow humans.

Republicans' (well, "Republicans,"as most have been replaced by the cult) concerns end at the end of their noses. Only something negatively impacting them or someone they love changes their minds. "The Left" want good things for other people even there's no benefit for us. It's called empathy.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Can someone please explain this to me, because I was initially really angry with Schumer the last time--if the government shuts down, does that give the T@ngerine opportunities to do even more but under the radar/replace govt staff/etc...as in, while the cat's away...? That's my big shutdown worry.

Hiding from ICE?

Inside Elon Musk’s plan to rain SpaceX’s rocket debris over Hawaii’s pristine waters Texas has long been under threat from the launches and explosions of SpaceX rockets. Now Hawaii is emerging as another possible victim

One of "all the best people" 🤔🙄

"For Musk, the cost of harming the delicate ocean ecosystem is outweighed by the benefits of space exploration."

The cost is also grievous disregard for the Hawaiians for whom this is a sacred site, & wildlife/nature generally
