Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 17h

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, here's the statue in Puerto Rico depicting the drowning of conquistador Diego Salcedo by the indigenous Taíno people.

According to legend, his death resulted in the outbreak of the Taíno rebellion of 1511 against the Spaniards.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Just half dozed off in the car listening to music, jolted awake after I dreamed that there were T-shirts with gangster ETs on them with bandanas covering their mouths holding pistols that said FUCK ICE in Impact font.

My problem is I can remember my old home phone number, my dad's phone number, his cell number, and my old cell number

But my dad has been dead since 2018 and I don't even know my CURRENT cell number. I ran out of space in my head.

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 15h

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

i am literally never not tapping the "we need to fund public education and open the schools" sign. there is no moment or topic in which the dearth of basic reading comprehension is not a major force preventing any deeper discussion. a lot of people are functionally meat-based LLMs who parrot tokens.

so one of the things I’ve started to realize with having a notable following On Here is exactly how much of a reading comprehension problem we have in this country
