number one, i am glad that if anyone on earth is rich enough to turn down some blood money, it's Weird Al, and number two, I'm glad the guy who is rich enough to be loud as fuck about turning down some blood money is Weird Al

this is a super important point re: climate change and public health. and it gets ignored because everyone (and especially the people we elect) are used to kicking the can on the hard stuff. time's up

Here's the unspoken thing: the livability of the planet in my middle age depends on a rapid shift in American politics that simply may not happen, and it will be especially unreachable if we do the same concessions to dark money funded doubtmongering on the climate side as we're debating with MAHA

Gallup: "One in three U.S. adults (34%) name road-related accidents as their most top-of-mind daily safety risk, more than twice the global average of 14%. Roughly one in five (19%) point to crime and violence, compared with a global average of 10%."

Did a search just now and it looks like there's more available than there was before. We're definitely not the only ones who want the yoga but not the blather

I've been looking for no talking yoga on YouTube because I can't stand the usual babble but it's usually yoga for teachers so it's intermediate to advanced

I'm not a lawyer, so this is pretty baffling. States have the power to regulate gambling or ban it outright, so why not "prediction markets"? Alternately, if I rebrand some roulette tables as "prediction markets" can I now open a casino -- sorry, a trading forum -- anywhere?

OMG it is SO GOOD and the music is so good, and the costumes, and the colors and designs in it are so luscious they're like edible, and it is extremely antifascist and anti-racist

I hate the sensation of being sweaty and it has made cardio my most dreaded exercise

I think it harms Journalism that the message that the media has sent to us over the last several years is that no matter what a person does it’s impossible to credibly be sure that they are a Nazi.

White Republicans : we demand historical accuracy People: ok here’s a bunch of information on the slave trade and plantations and white terrorism in reconstruction and the legacy of institutional racism White republicans: not that kind of historical accuracy

Billionaires being unafraid to say things like this publicly is a major indicator of how bad things have gotten

It is amazing that the 250th anniversary of America was pretty much just not a thing. You could tell all the companies thought it would be, they had 250th ketchup and ice cream and energy drinks but all we got was a shit ass fair that no one went to

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work with the same urgency and ruthlessness to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

*chef's kiss*

Hey so turns out discovering why we used to have all those food safety regulations in the first place is not all that much fun

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.
