The Vulcan Science Academy has postulated the possibility of Paradox Bagels but has dismissed their existence.

Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Outspent 11 to 1, Abdul proved that people-powered campaigns can still beat big money. Michiganders chose hope over fear, and a future rooted in dignity, justice, and opportunity.

Even if you set aside all the plagiarism and environmental damage, it isn't worth using because it sucks ass. The only things it might be useful for are very entry level. And if you're using it for that you have no business using it at all because you won't be able to tell when it's full of shit.

This is so heartwarming and satisfying. A retired county caseworker from upstate New York here; I would hear stories daily of how bad landlords would cause suffering. And how people would feel powerless to end that suffering. Things start getting better when we really listen to their stories.
Republicans held a hearing on Medicaid fraud today, so I asked a top health expert: what bill delivered the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history? Yep. Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Seems to me like the biggest Medicaid theft actually happened last year in Congress.
Fantastic news, but we still have a long way to go to not only reduce co2 output, but clean up what's already there.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · yesterdayDon't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

Shopping local is always a sensible approach, and good for small businesses. Also, eating lettuce and salad is not required to get sufficient vegetable in consumption. A lot of cultures prepare vegetables differently, and with just as much nutrition.
