Same. I follow who I want to see but please, nobody ever feel like following back should be your first choice. I contain multitudes. Frustrating, sometimes horrible, annoying multitudes. Wish I could pin this.

LULD halt on SEV is what I'm reading. Oof.

And they're supposed to be present at the closing bell.

This is gonna be tough.

I mean you'd think Aptera would be a good product. If they deliver. Folks are freaked out about energy prices. Home charging availability for apartments is a big issue.

The politician in South Carolina who has introduced a bill redefining contraception as abortion also wants people who share websites to be charged with aiding and abetting homicide.

When asked why his bill redefines contraception, Cash admitted he believes certain forms of birth control are “an early abortion.” When pressed about allowing homicide charges against abortion patients—which could mean the death penalty in South Carolina—he shrugged it off: “It’s wrong to kill an innocent person.”

And when asked about whether someone could be criminally charged for calling an abortion clinic, or sharing a clinic website with a friend, Cash compared it to “sharing a website to find a killer to rub your wife out.”

“If you’re aiding and abetting the killing of an innocent person,” he said, “you’re going to be held accountable.”

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

This is very well written and extremely troubling and you should take some time to read it.

"enjoyed" is not exactly the right word, but i did... devour this piece by @usefulnoise.bsky.social, who spent a day at the big christian MAHA convention in alexandria this weekend:

What I Saw at This Weekend’s Minnesota MAHA Fest Scared the Hell out of Me - Racket

Over 1,000 Christian opponents of modern medicine descended on Alexandria, MN, to testify that drugs, doctors, and Satan were making us all sick at the 7th annual Freedom Summit.

Just saw the word "persevere" on an intranet and I feel like with the current political climate that title could say "suck it up, buttercup" by next year.
