@arensb You got 1% of the rain I think.
Representatives should not get to choose their voters. That’s ass backwards.

I wonder what Blockchain Rasputin has been up to lately:

Jack Dorsey says his 'secure' new Bitchat app has not been tested for security. Security researcher Alex Radocea found that it's possible to impersonate someone else and trick a person's...

This is the way.

A high school freshman track athlete took second place behind a trans athlete, and a Republican leader used the situation to push hateful propaganda. The girl responds:

"I don't feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points... No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby."

@arstechnica Oh dog no can you imagine how much upcharge rental companies would slap on such an in-car service?
A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.
@wonkette_bot Pedonazi says what?
@AngelaPreston @DeliaChristina I can only speak for the university I know, not Columbia, but almost the entirety of our endowment is made up of directed giving. So it supports useful things, like specific research areas, or student financial aid, but it is not available to be repurposed to things not enumerated by the donor. It is an impressive pile of money, but it's not a panacea.
At the start of COVID, we all learned how to beat airborne viruses like the flu: by wearing masks and staying home when we are sick. It's a real shame we haven't translated those important lessons into long-term behavioral change.

@augieray In the immortal words of Chris Tucker, Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
@augieray the kids are alright
@derrydavis @augieray I came here to say this 😆
@augieray
> I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school's standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved.

one problem is that there's a mindset that has no ability to understand this at all and only cares about the single winner at the top at the end

for most people affected by it it's a vice, but for the fascists it's a moral axiom
@augieray this is making me tear up.
@augieray @ramshackle calling her “trans identified” is a bit sus; even if the rest is fine and true;

@augieray

This post needs to be shared, and I shared it to show that Anelise Feldman has more class than Rep. Libby.

@augieray that letter dropped from orbit! Powerful stuff, especially from a Freshman in high school.

@augieray sounds like good coaching and/or parenting to me. Unamerican but good :P
@augieray @funcrunch Anelise and Soren can have whatever they want. They deserve it. 💐
