Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Classic big tech. It’s not enough to destroy the planet, everyone else has to subsidize it too.

Our Favorite Prime Day Deals From Stores That Aren't Amazon You don't have to shop Amazon Big Deal Days to save on WIRED-approved favorites.

For example, I need some new sheets. I can buy them directly through the company website at a similar discount right now.

Only 0.03% Opt Out Of LGBTQ+ Education In Maryland After SCOTUS Gives Them A Right To After SCOTUS gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education, Montgomery County, Maryland is reporting only 43 families took them up on it.

"99.97 percent of families, even when given the option, chose to let their children learn about LGBTQ+ people."
Nice result, and it reinforces everything Montgomery County said to SCOTUS before its theocrats made their dehumanizing ruling. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Learning the Wells Fargo connection to the Chicago ice raids was just the reminder I needed to start moving my banking elsewhere. It’s been on my to-do list for ages and I just kept putting it off, but not any more.

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025.

Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

I'm genuinely starting to think that the people who say they want to see American's really fight back are really saying they want a specific kind of visible, stereotypical depiction of protest, and have zero zero tolerance for the kind of groundwork it takes to make change happen.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Oh so the rats are leaving the sinking ship are they?

(Apologies to rats. They are smarter and kinder creatures than the “manosphere” filth mentioned in this article.)

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

a young boy is laughing with his mouth open in a striped shirt . Alt: a young child in a striped shirt rears their head back and screams red faced to the camera. The child is clearly upset and is screaming in rage.

It’s so cool haw family can take a day where you were already struggling to regulate your emotions and just FULLY knock you into “whoops now my brain is screaming and will be for the next few hours” town. So cool.

(Everyone is fine. Just stupid.)

They’re moving quickly because they get less popular every day.

They’ll never be more popular than they are now and they are extremely unpopular.

Resistance is everywhere — it just isn't getting enough attention Nepal, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Madagascar, and the United States

Bad news feels inescapable. There’s a lot of it, it goes viral, and things are getting worse.

But resistance is also everywhere, and it doesn’t get the same attention.

We need to share mass resistance, to inspire hope and so that more and more people join in.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

The sunk cost fallacy is just that—a fallacy. It’s okay to change the things that aren’t working for you, from jobs, to partners, to gender.

Wait these thigh-high fringe tights (garters!?) are so cool!? Also almost all these bottoms are so interesting!? Aaahhh!

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.
