Nevada is the only state where people can legally purchase sex, and now sex workers at one of the state's oldest brothels, Sheri's Ranch, are fighting to become the first in the U.S. to unionize.

We should THANK the states that have refused to submit their voter rolls to the DHS’s centralized “SAVE” voter purge program, which the GOP knows has reported error rates as high as 14% & links to an SSA database that the GOP knows was compromised by DOGE. Harmeet Dhillon is suing them instead. 1/

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

AI guys insisting on the inevitability of the tech are so irritating. every comparison they make is to something whose utility was immediately apparent. "it does things faster and we can fix its mistakes later and that'll be the job now" does not compare to "metronome that doesn't need winding"

Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” essay in 1991 urged that we focus on fighting AIDS, reducing homelessness, and developing green energy sources instead of trying to colonize space.
Pethokoukis mentions all this but then says that today we have Elon Musk, so he thinks a Sagan would be psyched for Mars now.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.
In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

Apologies and regrets are worthless without actions.
Like okay, sure, you're sorry for electing a pedophile rapist who organized his own private SS to kidnap and disappear brown people, but what are you going to DO about it?
Because they'll still vote Republican after saying sorry.
I guarantee it

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
