So proud of everyone! The NYPD confirmed that rallies across the city have ended with no arrests. It’s getting harder and harder for Trump to sell his propaganda.

Studies conducted in the 1960s began to reveal the horrific state of water pollution. High levels of bacteria were found in the Hudson River, and pollution killed 26 million fish in one Florida lake. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland caught fire due to an oil slick. /2

I was so sad when I found out that "Macaroni" in Yankee Doodle was old English slang for "Fancy," not the pasta. But today I realized that they were basically saying "Yankee doodle put a Gucci logo on his hat and called it designer," it was the original "Your Jordans are fake" diss track

I get to see this buffoon on Sunday. 😻

Ffs y’all! Don’t post photos of yourself or others at protests. It doesn’t matter if you “weren’t doing anything illegal”. People have been jailed for less. Always assume cops are surveilling your socials. They will use anything they can as evidence to construct a case against you.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

A lot of the J6 groups came down, btw, based on FB's own calls, because of calls for violence within those groups. That got reframed as "anti-conservative censorship".

What apparently happened here is that Laura Loomer got upset about some groups she thought needed to come down & DOJ made requests.

I thought it was bad when government made social media censor itself

Surely the free speech Twitter files guys are all over this right?

I’m old enough to remember when the idea of the government reaching out to social media companies to ask for moderation was a gigantic scandal

One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide (CO) as hundreds of cars. If you own a generator and are getting it ready for the nor’easter this weekend, check and make sure your CO alarms are working too. CO is a deadly gas you can’t see or smell and it can kill in minutes.
