Anti-vaxxers are bad parents. Not vaccinating your child is abuse.

We should eliminate all non-medical exemptions for vaccines.

Sorry, not sorry.

Just statistically you have a better shot at creating a Congress that represents public opinion if you kicked everyone out and selected new members at random

Remember when we had allies?

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

A new paper on falling cat science came out and I just have to draw people's attention to this image

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

Religion is so, so stupid. And dangerous. :/

Game has to be an instant hit to survive past a few months but people aren't going to want to get invested in a game that might not survive past a few months.

Ah, gotcha. :( I'm not sure where else that actually affords downloading. Apple Music maybe, although I don't think that's FLAC.

Digital illustration of the heroic goose from Untitled Goose Game. Goose is all white with orange feet and beak and everything is rendered in flat simple shapes. Goose is standing next to a stream with greenery and blue sky behind, proudly holding the coveted shiny bell in his beak. Handwritten lettering in the sky reads ‘Maybe it will happen today.’

Not the main point, but...

I don't understand the right-wing's distaste for windmills. If they actually cared about nature (they don't), they'd be fine with them.

I don't mind them at all. :P Better than oil/coal mining and smoke stacks.

Becoming a scientist is basically Wanting To Know so badly you decided to make it literally everybody's problem.

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

“If you do that they’ll leave the country” yes it’s called “fleeing” and run piggies run.

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

Thou Shalt Not Try to Start Armageddon Stop it.

U.S. commanders explicitly told troops the war on Iran is a ‘Christian war to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus.’

Iran war: France moves air defenses to Cyprus — live updates European leaders scramble to respond to a rapidly expanding conflict where it has very little leverage. Follow live coverage here.

I don't think there's ever been a larger embarrassment than EU political leaders. Repeat genocide offender Germany just declared international law "irrelevant" because well, the US and Israel said so & Germany is just a lil' wee country no big people questions pls.

As I said before, being self-published on Steam, I receive less than 40% of sales.

30% to steam, 30% taxes, and a smaller cut due to transfer fees and the value of the dollar compared to my local currency.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

What. The. Fuck.

But they planned it for minutes.

Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.
