There is so much stupid afoot these days. One of the dumbest things is the trend for restaurants to no longer have menus and instead make you access the menu via QR code on your phone. I walk out of places that do that.

The Supreme Court shrunk clean water protections in the West. Colorado and New Mexico are restoring them
The ruling left many wetlands in streams vulnerable in the West, where waters can run dry for portions of the year but are still important for the overall ecosystem.

Priorities. Clearly, Americans themselves are not the priority when it comes to their government.

Need to get every politician in office or running to say this. Period.
What do these companies have in common: -Amazon -Walmart -FedEx -McDonald's -Dollar General -DoorDash -Instacart They're all highly profitable, give their CEOs lucrative salaries, and pay thousands of workers starvation wages — making them reliant on SNAP and Medicaid.
After 20+ years at the liberal website DailyKos, I have asked for my account to be deleted. Lately, there have been some truly offensive man-hating diaries & comments appearing there. I called it out today & got a 30 day ban. The place has gone downhill the past 2 years & this was the final straw.

We all know this is true. The SC knew it too, which is why they gave him immunity. But if the immunity was supposed to just be for official acts, why are they using it to cover everything, including insurrection and treason?
A spate of new studies is revealing the lifelong impact of being marked as exceptional during childhood – and the results suggest we may need to revise how we view giftedness.

I'm more and more convinced that 99% of the biggest public figures would absolutely collapse if an interviewer just said "ok but that's not true" after every nonsense lie.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w agoThere's a reason Elon Musk rarely does interviews with real news outlets.
The richest guy in the world isnt an evil genius. He is an evil dumbass.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w agoAnother odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.
Elon Musk is a fucknut with way too much money. He is the perfect example of why we need to either limit income or limit the power of the oligarchy.
Davis Bickford@davis.social · 2w agowell, that’s one way to criminally downplay the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, among many other horrible things.
This whole Taylor farms thing and all the food being infected with parasites. It's actually a very good example of why these conglomerants and monopolies shouldn't exist. You shouldn't be able to operate under one name and own 30 brands that do the exact same thing
I don't understand the idea of outlawing things people have no control over. Society created homelessness. And society can choose to end it. But outlawing it wont get us anywhere.
