In 1986 we had not yet addressed the thinning of the ozone layer by signing the Montreal Protocol. We did that in 1987. The ozone layer is expected to recover fully in another ~30 years.

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.
FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

WARREN: Do you still work for Capital One today? JOHNSON: I do. I'm here today in my personal capacity W: Ok. But they're paying you to get confirmed for this job. I also understand they're letting you keep a bonus you haven't yet earned. They must be really excited about getting you confirmed.
Pelosi spent years begging for a “strong Republican Party.” And that’s what we have now. It’s a fucking nightmare.
I actually would quite like to see this particular aspect of the constitution changed and not because of Mamdani specifically all American citizens, naturalized or otherwise, should be able to run for President
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.KARL: There's a constitutional requirement that you have to be a natural-born citizen to run for president. You were not born here. Do you think that's something that should be changed? MAMDANI: No. I think the Constitution looks good just the way it is.
Leave it to FIFA and its corrupt president to find a way to ruin a great World Cup.

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

I have never once thought Cruz was ‘manly’….definitely weasely
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTed Cruz on Talarico: "If you were making a list of 1,000 adjectives to describe this guy, 'masculine' would not be one of them. I mean, if a stiff breeze came by it would blow him over like a feather."
A year after they began limiting car access to Pike Place Market, it’s hard to believe it wasn’t always like this. An absolute no-brainer.
Constance Baker Motley shattered barriers and changed America. As the first Black woman to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court and the first Black woman appointed as a federal judge, she helped dismantle segregation and fought for equal justice under the law.⚖️ #CivilRights #SheShed

Gabe Ortíz@tusk81.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe old man ran for president to save his crooked ass from prison and now all that interests him is stealing from you to line his pockets and ransack our capital until it looks like one of his bankrupt casinos.

The economy is in freefall and the war is a quagmire but the president is laser-focused on making Americans' lives better: - White House ballroom - UFC cage match on the lawn - big triumphal arch - painting the reflecting pool - painting statues gold - his face on a $250 bill - lining his pockets
Bruce Harrell gets a fair share of the blame for getting Ballard Link to the point where it's at today, and deservedly so, but someone who I don't think gets enough of the blame is Jenny Durkan. 2017-2020 were the lost years for Seattle's ST3 projects.
Everyone should pay civilization fees (taxes) because we all benefit from society, though people who are able to extract the most out of society should pay the highest civilization fees!
