Jon Stewart Offers Powerful Reminder With NSFW Rant: VIDEO

Couldn't have said it better myself, Jon.

@MarkHoltom It seems to me that there is a bigger disparity between urban and rural areas. And not only in US - ex. Alberta Canada Smith government - a totally anti-science, rage fueling, divider and conspiratorial gov - won the elections (the same stupid system of "first around the post" voting) by taking ALL the rural areas, while it was almost wiped out from the big urban centers of Edmonton and Calgary. The same in Saskatchewan. Is there any chart to reflect that for US elections?

Tree tunnel on the balckdowns, where today I went for a short mooch.
Just off to the right here is one of my favourite spots. It's a grove of young tall oak trees. The woodland thins slightly in the grove making it perfect to pause and spot birds flitting through the upper branches.

In the past I've seen nuthatches and tree creepers here. Today I spotted gold crests. Actually saw one doing a humming bird impression, which I've heard they do, but hadn't seen till today.

Magic.

Just walked out of a church service because the pastor decided to celebrate Trump’s win by starting a statement about the “woke agenda.” When someone uses that term, they have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say, and they certainly aren’t preaching the words of Christ.

No one should feel obligated to spend time this holiday season with people who voted for them to lose their rights, health, marriage, or life. Those aren't "political differences."

Celebrate the holidays with people who celebrate your existence. Give thanks with people grateful for who you are.

No one should feel compelled to spend a minute of precious holiday time with someone who makes them feel unworthy of equal rights, happiness or existence.

The wasp mantisfly, Climaciella brunnea, is not a wasp, a mantis, or a fly. It is instead a type of spider-eating lacewing that keeps itself safe by looking like it has a painful sting, which it does not.

@shoq Absolutely scary, I can not understand how is this possible!

“AI” models are suffused with US values and, occasionally, those are quite shocking to us non-Americans

An Icelandic police force used a generated image to promote a public notice

People were absolutely horrified

Why?

Because the cop in the image had a gun, in a holster, AROUND CHILDREN 😱

The uniform was also not accurate for an Icelandic cop but what people found obscene was the idea that anybody would carry a gun around children, even holstered

Donald Trump has committed so many crimes and ethical violations that it's hard to keep track.

The House Oversight Committee Democrats released a report on how Trump ripped off taxpayers, including charging the United States far more for hotels than he charged foreign countries https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-oversight.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-10-18COA-DEM-Staff-Report-Domestic-Emoluments.pdf

How is this legal?
