they've had instances of turning away queer people from shelters or services, and rumors of supporting conversion therapy, so for years i've seen them as a charity strangled by an evil set of values

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

SO to the fans of the Blue Prince LP helping us do 3x the numbers of Bari Weiss

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 2d

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.
