The Missouri GOP is trying to pass state House rules that ban women from the right to bare arms.
No, literally, they're trying to ensure women don't show their bare arms. This is your part of "small government."
And FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isnβt a sign of Shariah or Talibanβitβs a sign of right wing βChristianβ extremism in the U.S. Govt.
Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. Itβs 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.
I really have no idea if Change.org petitions have any impact, but this one is kind of personal: my nephew is a student at New College of Florida, and its really been a positive place for him. Ron Desantis' nakedly political motives here against people with little recourse is exactly what I'd expect from someone with authoritarian impulses... https://chng.it/K2d9vXXymR #florida #newcollegeofflorida #rondesantis
NASA won the race by using left over space shuttle parts and reverse engineering the Saturn V.
Meanwhile SpaceX is burdened by specifications mandated by Elon Musk for his imaginary future Martian empire.
That said, I hope Space X does complete the Starship and it works as planned. I also hope that happens after Musk goes bankrupt and has to sell the Space X to a holding company run by NASA.
Cannot believe itβs been a year since you joined us. Itβs been such a joy to watch you grow, witness your wobbly first steps, listen to your frequent giggling, and just take pleasure in seeing you as a happy, fun, and playful baby. Feeling all around pretty lucky to be your dad. Happy first birthday to our Annie.
Me when an American messages me to tell me Iβm just jealous of the freedom Americans have. Did you mean:
- the freedom to get medical treatment without going in debt?
- the freedom to choose what I do with my own body?
- the freedom to send my kids through 13 years of public school without fearing for their lives?
- the freedom to be educated about the world around me?
Which freedoms are you proposing Iβm jealous of?
Iβm glad to see at least *some* GOP House members (four now and counting from his home state) call for George Santos to resign. His local party bosses concur. Santos must go!
Letβs keep up the pressure. Americans agree on so little, but most would say that he should step down. The GOP leadership needs to understand this.
9yo to me: βWorms are neither boys nor girls. Theyβre both and theyβre neither. Like you! You and worms. Thatβs pretty cool.β
π€okayβ¦ yeah, Iβll take this as a #win. Me and worms π

If you are desperate to keep your gas stove, which seems to increase childhood asthma, while doing everything you can to ban the word "gay," you're going to have to stop pretending your concerns are about "the kids."

βI simply canβt keep quiet about the immense damage Brexit is doing. Ministers seem to have developed selective amnesia when it comes to one of the root causes of our problems. Brexit canβt be airbrushed out of history or the consequences wished away.β ~AA https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2023/jan/12/sadiq-khan-brexit-labour-rishi-sunak-conservatives-single-market-uk-politics-latest?page=with%3Ablock-63bfc0eb8f085fda3e65d248

Judge Dredd was supposed to be a satirical warning, not an aspirational societal goal.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
