2008-2014, I think it had value as a public square where journalists of all stripes really engaged. Now it’s a cesspool. Anyone still hanging out at the nazi bar should really stop and think about the ramifications.

The IRS comes in to save democracy in the US? I did not have that on my bingo card.

But also I’m blown away that most grocery stores don’t list inventory and prices on the website. I can only think this is because they don’t want to show prices in an attempt to get you to go to the store.

yuuup.

everywhere they natively lived

sorry ma’am, your child was one of thirty five killed when we reintroduced wolves to kindercare because they were native here in the 1300s, but their comeback is something to behold, and the survivors have quite a story!

I kid, but also, reintroduce them to areas where they’re least likely to bump up against population, all the areas they natively lived in the past are, unfortunately, overrun by humans. I live in Washington state, where we’re seeing grey wolves slowly come back. I’m all for it. And here in Seattle, we’ve always had Coyotes living around the town, on the large greenways. Keep your cats inside if you love them!

And your elected leaders are fighting it: https://www.newsweek.com/wolves-reintroduced-colorado-lauren-boebert-1853656

goddamn she’s dumb.

yup.

For their winter - on Aug 27, Rio witnessed its highest temperature of the winter, reaching 39.2°C

for winter, these temps are just bonkers.

you got issues bud. i honestly hope you seek counselling.

You should look at the winter that recently ended in the southern hemisphere - record ice shelf losses during winter, record high temps in Rio and other cities. In winter.

And it’s just getting more and more brutal.

depressingly plausible, I can’t fault your logic.

we’re going to have to filter the entire ocean to capture these shits as well as the plastic. or release shit tons of bioengineered things to eat the shit, which is another fun game of wreck-entire-ecosystems-roulette.

Texas is home to some of the largest military installations on the planet (Fort Bliss and Fort Cavazos) - the federal economic footprint these (and Lackland, and JSB Carswell and a dozen others) bring to their local economies is massive. Hell, the defense industry footprint in texas is ridiculously large (existing and future helos & fixed wing f22/f35 production) - removing them from Texas would crater their economy.

I tend to look at this like another grift to skin more funds from the stupids.

Wonder if google’s moves on playtesting req’s - requiring testing teams of 20 or more users - is going to be a way to assert the play store is safe/well curated etc…

It’s the carney and the rubes, and it always has been.
