🤔 Want to reduce abortions? Have full sex education and give kids contraceptives free of charge/shame. That's been shown to do the trick.

Of course, that's not what the GOP is about. They just like spouting off and not doing anything actually useful to the people of this country.

The real paradox of the press is that they have two choices:

1. An open protocol for which they can report on news on their own terms
2. A proprietary platform where press inquiries are answered with 💩

And they opt for the 2nd option!

i am not a weather poster, but damn i cannot believe it's pouring again. pouring. hail. thunder. LA people are not used to this!

#ukraine #for heavens, Sake, just give Ukraine everything it needs to stop and win this war. Problem of escalation my ass. Isn’t the world just sick of watching the Ukrainians fight this courageous fight and we just trickle equipment to them as we see fit. We are allowing defence, not offence. I as a citizen of the human race demand that you arseholes in power do the right thing for a change.

Scientists have a key role to play in saving what can still be saved, and I believe scientists should be speaking out and getting into good trouble much more than we are.

Always pay attention to where people's eyes dart when they are talking to you. If their eyes go up and to the right it could mean there is a cool bird behind you over your left shoulder.

This is it—plain & simple. No more fossil fuel infrastructure & it’s time to earnestly transition away from fossil fuel equipment & heating. Electrify your heating & cooling. It’s cheaper & more efficient. Switch to EVs. There are lots more than Tesla.

One of the biggest propaganda wins for white supremacists was teaching kids (and everyone else) that racism is a unique and special evil, one that can only be done by evil racists or faceless passionless "systems."

It's more comfortable to think of it as a force of nature or a thing only done by Bad Guys than something almost all of us contribute to and need to be conscious of.

honestly, "so gay its illegal in russia" should be used as a selling point

What’s happening in Uganda with criminalization of even *being* LGBT, with death penalties written into law for some people, should and must shock the world into action.
