GOP: Clearly the only solution to our debt crisis is starving the poor
MAGA GOP says they’ll raise the debt ceiling if they can cut food stamps for low income Americans. 😳 This is supervillian'esque behavior.
Just horrific. Low income people will needlessly starve as a result of this GOP cruelty.
Again, our problem isn't that we can't feed our neighbors in need—it's GOP can't satisfy billionaire greed.
Dan GillmorThe Murdoch family's Fox "News" payoff to Dominion is a reminder of two things:
1) It's real money but the company's shareholders can easily afford it, given Fox's profitability.
2) The core reason for those profits is Fox "carriage agreements". What's that? If you subscribe to cable/satellite TV (or most online equivalents), you almost certainly send money to that evil company every month.
If this angers you, and it should, please cancel and tell the carrier why.

The “investigation” into the leak of the Dobbs draft, where the justices weren’t actually really investigated, shows the court has no interest in governing itself. Congress needs to step up and do their job.

Prof. Sam LawlerWelp, I'm giving another talk on satellite pollution so I have to update the numbers in my slides.
*checks https://planet4589.org/space/con/star/stats.html and https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/table.php?GROUP=active&FORMAT=tle*
Oh crap, there are 150 more Starlinks than when I gave a talk on this topic 1 month ago.
3908 Starlink satellites out of 7545 total satellites.
52% of all sats now owned by one awful dude. Still with effectively no regulations. This is so bad.
