Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 3d agoFox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults.

National media could, if they so desired, dog Republican candidates about accepting donations from the builder of a child pornography robot who emailed Epstein to ask when the best parties were with the same vigilance with which they ask Democratic candidates if they condemn a streamer
There has never been a commercial airport in the United States named solely for a woman. Dolly Parton International Airport in Nashville will be the first.
Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
www.meetnewbooks.com/book/289442/... I just finished reading this for the 2nd time. It is very clever, and while I did ultimately understand it last time, it was confusing. I remembered enough this time that I was able to understand everything from the beginning. Well worth a re-read.

Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in 2027! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out next year (or publicist), share the link/info here!
It’s time we sorted out the press. Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet. The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.
The price of ground coffee (the sort you make at home) is insane. It is double what it was around covid times. I understand a couple of reasons for it. But this is a good time to cut coffee out of my diet. I think I'll learn how to enjoy homemade herbal teas. I am a gardener, after all.

The amount of tax money given to private schools should be zero. The amount of tax breaks to private schools should also be zero
It’s rightly pointed out that our roads/railways/houses etc weren’t built for weather this hot and dry, or indeed this wet at other times of year, but anything built in the past 40-50 years (and expected to still be in use now) should have been.
Could someone explain to me why our government just gave $2 billion to save the Tomago Smelter from closing, and saving lots of people’s jobs, when the owners - Rio Tinto - posted making $10 billion? Why couldn’t they pay for it?
When I read history stuff about Henry VIII, I get his strong feeling that he had a personality/world view similar to trump
We need to stop fining corporations for the crimes they commit and start jailing the execs who make the decision to commit crimes If corporations are people because people run corporations, then people ought to go to jail for the crimes the people running those corporations commit
On Pauline Hanson's One Nation: Keating = leadership Albanese = craven appeasement. #GingerWhinger #racism #FarRight #auspol
Jenny Difficult-Frecklington-Jones #IStandWithPalestine🍉🍉@joneshowdareyou.bsky.social · 4w agoThat time we had a Prime Minister who was not afraid to speak out publicly against the toxicity of Hanson's racism and who cared much less about the potentially hUrT FeeLinGs of a few white people. Those were some days, hey @albomp.bsky.social? #auspol

If you have concerns with Muslims in politics … you should see the Christians
Before February 28th the Strait of Hormuz was free to enter, now it costs a minimum of $2 million dollars to pass through! Iran and Oman are going to split the take and leave Trump out. THE ART OF THE DEAL? 😂
This is terrible reporting by NPR. Nothing in the article describes her or her qualifications. The entire article is other peoples opinion about her. Who is she? Why is she qualified? How about some basic journalism. Please.
