Maybe distinguishing between automation of the industrialization kind vs computer automation? Big drop from the 1870s to 1970s, but the 80s forward with the computer revolution is fairly level.

“Social transition” is defined to include adopting “(…) appearance, or dress that does not correspond to the individual's sex.” So girls will be back to mandatory skirts below the knee and accompanying hosiery?

We got absolutely no snow this year, but I do have a paper on my fridge from the city that shows every single park in town. We‘ve been checking them off one by one with the kids. Dude should get outside and touch grass, I’m sure there’s some grass at his local park.

Radiohead, I tried, but I just do not enjoy listening to them. Also Tarantino, but I could come up with some reasons why he substantively sucks.

Data privacy IS a proper role of state government.

"McGrane wrote in his letter that the Justice Department had recently revealed in a separate federal lawsuit filing that sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, were shared from federal systems 'to unauthorized persons.'"

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

Elderly black cat, looking annoyed.

Twenty years young. He looks all of his years, but still a handsome old boy.

Funny, I’m rereading this right now. It’s slower than I remember and the plots don’t weave together quite seamlessly, but I doubt that’s why it’s banned. Probably more to do with the depiction of a horrific crime at the height of Jim Crow.

Letting these made up issues even become policy anywhere is itself a failing and a loss for Ds who continually struggle to play anything but defense.

What bugs me is that no real world policy should’ve ever come out of the very astroturfed trans issues. Correct response to these ‘issues’ should always be fuck off. There are 30 times as many Americans struck by lightning every year as there are trans players in NCAA. So this is a non-issue.

Anyone who tries to run a small business understands inflation. Every vendor contract has a price increase built into it, eg, annual increase of 3% or CPI, whichever is lesser, is pretty typical.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Global moratorium on whaling, a ‘defining moment,’ turns 40 The global moratorium on commercial whaling reached its 40-year mark in January, during which time it’s been credited with helping Earth’s largest creatures recover from centuries of hunting…

The global ban on commercial whaling just turned 40 — widely credited with saving great whales from extinction.

Today, the biggest threats aren’t harpoons but fishing gear and ship strikes, which kill 300,000+ whales and dolphins each year.

"Estefania Mondragón, executive director of PODER of Idaho, criticized the agents for not providing the man with a warrant. Mondragón said that ICE is “continuing to break the law” and called the agents’ choice to detain a father outside his child’s school “disgusting.”"
