yeah, I'm sure auschwitz, buchenwald & all the rest were great for the local economy too, herr westrom. 🖕 'State Sen. Torrey Westrom, R-Alexandria, stated the contract will bring jobs and economic opportunity to his district. He thanked Trump and Fischbach for making the prison reopening a reality.'

feels like we're stuck in the idiocracy version of this, going from half (understood) to nada.

People who thought of themselves as smart, would have been *the* audience for basically every popsci thing coming out at the time. You 100% know all those early cosmic horror dudes had a half-understood, vague, wrong idea of what was going on in physics, filtered through several translations etc.

that's the point of obtaining that level of wealth/power - impunity. no one became a billionaire ethically, nor did they acquire that wealth/power in order to do ethical things. the ability to become a billionaire is the problem. we need to MITAA - Make the Income Tax code Asymmetric Again*

nothing offends maga like the truth. 'The diplomatic row was initially sparked...when the US joined North Korea and Russia in voting against extending Volker Turk's term as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights...Turk has criticised Russia's war in Ukraine and Israel's military conduct in Gaza.'

ACHP is not answering their phones, and citizens can’t “comment” on this atrocity until after the vote. (Explained in 🧵 articles.) But the overwhelming number of calls is sending them a message. 🚨It’s imperative we pressure Congress to stop this, and/or promise to litigate ACHP should it pass.

Lisa Reyna Loe@lisaloe.bsky.social · 2w ago

🚨ACHP is rushing a Section 106 vote THIS FRIDAY that will eliminate regulations, further devastating historical protections. Section 106 is what allows US to document our history in areas endangered by actions funded/permitted by our federal govt. Contact ACHP👇🏽 ASAP — vote NO! (cont.)

Please contact Advisory Council on Historic Preservation - Vote NO on Section 106 changes!

The Trump Effect: A smaller piece of every dollar earned in the economy is going to workers: The proportion of wages and salaries in GDI is down to ~43%, near the lowest since records began in 1929. GDI measures the total income earned across the economy, including wages and corporate profits

Steve Rattner: Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.

Here is some Canadian Trivia: 1) For every person in Canada, there are approx 9,000 trees. 2) Canada's boreal zone spans roughly 1.3 billion acres or approx. 55% to 58% of Canada's total landmass. 3) 70% of Canada's boreal forest zone has no road access, remaining as pristine, intact wilderness.

current air hazard ('quality' has always been a euphemism) conditions in the arrowhead (NE MN). haven't seen reports or data of 4 digit figures anywhere before. 😳 I saw footage from someone in a plane flying near Thunder Bay & the massive smoke plumes looked like ash clouds from a volcanic eruption.

air quality map, from the MPCA (Minnesota pollution control agency), of the NE region of Minnesota, listing AQ figures ranging from 882-1421, with an outlier/deviation of 430 just SE of Duluth.

I want Americans to get affordable EpiPens so we don't die. I want people with ADHD to get the meds they need to focus on things like eating and functioning in their lives. I want cancer patients to get the anti-nausea meds they need to get through their fucking day. I want this guy to fuck off.

another nugget of genius from the idiot in cheese. the program started in 2016 & was (likely intentionally kept) so secret that no one heard of it who wasn't directly involved with it.

Reporter @reneedudley.bsky.social came across a job ad for a “digital escort.” Turns out it wasn’t OnlyFans, but a job created by Microsoft to facilitate tech support for the Defense Department. Here’s how this role came to pose a major cybersecurity threat:
