I guess I need to write something here. Happily married old lady. Loves cats and body autonomy. Wears rainbows to piss off the other old ladies at the Oklahoma Walmart. Everyone welcome.

Pulled this from #Instagram but I think it is worth sharing. Tax breaks and deregulation of gun silencers, but removal of funding for healthcare and food. It’s pretty easy to see who the #GOP cares about and it isn’t 99% of the population.

He and his team of NASA engineers jumped into action to help three astronauts bound for the moon. His quick thinking earned him a shout-out from Richard Nixon.

GOP Senator Says Video About Killing Reporter Was a ‘Joke’

Markwayne Mullin downplayed comments suggesting lawmakers can shoot journalists over disagreements.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

@AbandonedAmerica Hey Matt. It is my habit, once a week, to tell people whose output makes my life better that it does.

If you work in a cranberry bog, you’ve got to be cool with WOLF SPIDERS who will climb you when the bogs are flooded at harvest time. https://kottke.org/24/11/cranberry-bogs-use-spiders-instead-of-pesticides

I've been thinking more about some conversation recently about where the money to presidential campaigns *really* ends up (advertisers). And since those are basically those reporting the news or spreading information, this is a really super perverse incentive in a positive feedback loop and maybe that's a major undetected underlying problem here.

The closer the race, not only are there more views for political news, the more donations come in to both campaigns a large percentage of which go to political news outlets.

So for-profit journalism is doubly incentivized to report based on what keeps the race close.
