Its the year 2036, the retail green energy industry is what local car dealership fiefdoms turn into. Nobody had paid an electric bill in 3 years. GLP1s are OTC and as safe as ibuprofen Everyone complains about how much it sucks and how nothing has gotten better since 2016.

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 19h agoSeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

Interesting way to address the massive increase in journal submissions following the introduction & spread of generative AI. - 2 desk rejects/year = no more submissions for the year - 3 submissions as author = no more submissions for the year Will be curious to see how this works. #polisky

God I'm not antitax but ngl i do feel like blue govs should try to get more efficient and get more mileage out of existing tax revenue I'm not saying taxes shouldn't go up ever but there's gotta be some optimization that can make dollars go farther and provide more benefit.
Even more bonkers, Amir Hassan raised $700k while Thomas J. Smith reported no financial activity (I think <$5k). This is a shocking result. #MI08

What exactly IS “gender ideology.” Greek epic poetry and the Bible embed gender ideologies. But presumably those are gender ideologies Texas legislators like.

COMPLAINT
Plaintiffs American Association of University Professors ("AAUP"), on behalf of
its members in the Texas A&M University System ("Texas A&M"), and individually named member professors Leonard Bright, Vanita Reddy, Landon Sadler, and Aaron George (collectively, "Plaintiffs") challenge Texas A&M System Policy ("System Policy") 08.01's prohibition on teaching "gender and race ideology, or topics related to sexual orientation, and gender identity" in academic coursework (the "Censorship Policy" or the "Policy").
On its face, the Censorship Policy imposes a complete prohibition, in all core-
curriculum courses, on courses "advocat[ing]" particular disfavored views of race or gender, or
any topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity, but the Policy does not impose any corresponding ban on opposing views on these issues.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jcats4toei4ybf5ibk3njty3/bafkreidml3fbnbiivajg7rverpx3nckfhv3zdron6klbxc7kaffoyslpty)

How you reached a certain conclusion matters almost as much as the conclusion you've reached. The method speaks volumes, perhaps moreso than the result, about your thought process, worldview, biases, faults, and so forth.
Isaac (proud small hat wearer) Gantwerk Mayer@isaacgantwerkmayer.bsky.social · 2d agoThis was Dan Olson’s disagreement with Hbomberguy on the topic of flat earthers. Hbomberguy’s video had the thesis “ the Earth isn’t flat but you’re right that there’s something wrong with society” and then Dan responded “you’re seeing common ground that isn’t there, they’re insane and dangerous”
