@smach @animalspirits I also think there's an incentive to make the Democrats look weak and Trump look strong so it's a lot safer for them to err in one direction.
@smach it's been obvious the polls have been over sampling conservatives ever since one of them said that Manchin was more popular than Biden.

Maybe they are great together but I agree that he seemed to be laughing at her distress. I know my wife would not appreciate that kind of tone from me while she's talking about her struggles with something

Every now and then I read something casually and it takes a few minutes for my brain to acknowledge the gravity of its meaning.

Like this sentence: "According to UN-endorsed projections, global demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030."

Global demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030! How is that not headline news driving a massive global effort to prevent the ensuing tragedy!?

The 11 cities most likely to run out of drinking water - like Cape Town

Cape Townโ€™s taps are due to be turned off because of severe drought. It is not alone in having water woes.

This is not so bad because we already have technologies like desalination and purification that can meet this need, they are just not sustainable yet because the demand isn't there. This is something we can handle much more easily than climate change, or depleting our fisheries because it can be done locally with much less cross-border cooperation.

@bicmay

This makes a lot of sense now that it's common for women to work in demanding professional settings. There's really only room for one demanding profession in a family when you're raising kids.

I read this cartoon was removed from over 400 US newspapers at the weekend. So donโ€™t let any Americans see this toot.

Insisting on being stupid
It amazes me that the โ€œnewsโ€ tab on the @Mastodon app just takes me to the article instead of all the posts that discuss the article.
@detachedspork Basically like Elon Musk.
