In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.
it is, at long last, the Year of Linux on the Desktop. www.techspot.com/news/113326-...
Linux just cracked 10% desktop usage in North America, but no one's sure why
The shift stands out because the change was not gradual but abrupt. Linux's rise came largely at Windows' expense, while macOS saw only limited movement over the...

Malenesw, like whiteness, is a gender of exclusion. Men are people who belong to the gender that is not Other. Men are those who are not systemically oppressed for their gender. Like whiteness, masculinity is defined by what it's not. 9/?
A lot of #NotAllMen gender discourse would benefit from seeing maleness as a social construct or class on par with whiteness. Because "white" as the unified category Americans understand it as, is a 20th century invention. 1/?
Actionable threats are when you are disrespectful to a very special white man.
Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.
Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Michigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
Hey yall, ai scam emails are getting clever. there are scams now where they pretend to be a publisher interested in you/your book, and because ai can read your book and draft an email, it feels legit. But it’s just a grift. Stay vigilant! I got one about my old Japan book and my red flag went up.
Simple one again. Who could love a proper RPG without fun containers for loot? Morrowinds are excellent. Huge variety of container designs, aswell as diverse array of loot in them. Nr. 11 - Containers #DailyMöwenfels #Dailysketch
FINALLY. I'm calm, concentrated and motivated enough to draw again. Pretty happy with this one. Bench's a bit wonky. Very happy with my hatching tho. Bench in the sun #dailymöwenfels
Since this summer's heat waves started, I keep seeing dead pigeons on the pavement. Definitely not the sort of thing that happens in the first third of a climate change-themed apocalyptic movie.
future historians debating whether dow jones, nasdaq, and S&P 500 were three separate gods of ancient America, or just three aspects of the same god
the sims got it figured out, i wish i had an ominous rotating crystal shard hovering above my head at all times letting people around me know the aggregate status of my meters
every day. women post their achievements online and get their hearts broken 😔
Let's be very clear. What Amnesty have done here isn't just bad for the trans community. This is bad for every single persecuted minority in the world because they have shown that money and threats will remove opposition to persecution. Think about it.
This is how much of a fraud RFK, Jr is Prior to endorsing Trump, he approached Kamala Harris to see if it was possible to join her team. She declined Trump, on the other hand, paid $100,000 to secure RFK’s allegiance A fraud-and a cheap date
RFK Jr yelling at Dana Bash sounds like a rabid dog barking
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
The PM killed an untold number of people during a pandemic and burnt £850 million and he was depicted in state media as our benevolent saviour, I think that drove me mad and I never recovered, the state literally convinced people to willingly be culled en masse by an infectious disease
The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.
Party that spent the last decade grooming and funding and encouraging blind nazi ideologues to run for office and government positions : uh oh
Without taking new PHOTOS, where are you at mentally?
He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.
It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that
