Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

I bet she would be! Who would ever suspect Andromeda?

Where does Stolen Device Protection come up short? (Especially if set to “always” rather than “away from familiar locations”?)

First, I’d strongly recommend enabling Stolen Device Protection which mostly fixes that: support.apple.com/en-us/120340

Second, I would suggest not using just a 4 digit code. The iPhone defaults to requiring 6 digits now, but I’ve long had a passcode that’s over ten digits.

Immigration is good. It's not "not bad", it's actually "very good". It's moral, ethical, and good for a country's culture, economy, cuisine, security, and stability. The US needs more. Every country in the EU needs more.

Anti-immigrant politics and policies are slowly killing entire countries.

Enjoy the last day before tomorrow. Then four years…

In 1970, unemployment was super low (3.5%) and minimum wage jobs paid $14 an hr in today's money.

Today, unemployment is also super low (3.6%), but minimum wage jobs only pay ~$7.25 an hr.

People aren't faking when they say they're struggling.

@vampirecoffee.bsky.social

an overlooked aspect of all these “bluesky is an echo chamber” pieces is that the writers bizarrely think that the only reason people use social media is to talk about politics, which is true only for a subset of users

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

And another aftershock, but this one was a lot smaller.

Just got an aftershock, this one a 3.4 exactly six hours after the 3.5.

We were 4.3 miles away

For sure!

Only a 3.5 but this one shook us pretty hard.

I finally got around to watching the fifth season of Fargo. I’ve gotta say, that’s certainly the strangest Bisquick ad I’ve ever seen!

Hmm. I suppose I should also note that I did in fact vote in the races off the right edge of the photo. I took the photo in the middle of voting, before I'd finished that page.

Biden was right, Trump's supporters are garbage.

Not even remotely sorry about it. They've spent the last 9 years reveling in every anti-American comment Trump has ever made, hell, they loved Trump's statement that the US itself is a garbage can.

They can fuck right off with this pearl clutching.

This photo is perfectly legal thanks to fairly recent legislation. 😃

Wait, WHAT? This is a thing they could do? Fucking do it

Removing most or even many of these departments would mean ceasing to function as a university for all intents and purposes. Looking for cost savings by analyzing department “cash flow” is extremely short sighted, there are a lot of interconnected pieces here that are difficult to disentangle.

XIV. Conclusion Gender identity is real. Those whose gender identity does not match their natal sex often suffer gender dysphoria. The widely accepted standard of care calls for appropriate evaluation and treatment. For minors, this means evaluation and treatment by a multidisciplinary team. Proper treatment begins with mental-health therapy and is followed in appropriate cases by GRH agonists and cross-sex hormones— referred to in this order as gender-affirming care. Florida has adopted a statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically appropriate. The ban is unconstitutional. The statute and rules restrict the manner in which gender-affirming care can be provided when not banned. Some of the restrictions are constitutional; others are not.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Florida’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors and many of its restrictions on similar adult care are unconstitutional. More to come at Law Dork. www.lawdork.com
