@actuallyautistic Seriously, though, I'd be willing to pay money for quality children's shows that feature autistic major characters for my little ones to watch.

I love watching righties lose their shit over stuff like this. I mean, it’s absolutely fucking glorious.

The other Ukraine bill also passed in the House:
The bill to expand Russian sanctions and start confiscating Russian assets for Ukraine!

The US far-right is made up of some of the stupidest people you'll ever encounter -- folks who claim to be proud of a country they've never bothered to study.
To anyone who doesn't get what's funny, this statue was designed and built in France. Jesse slept through third grade.

Elon Musk expressed concern about the lack of an exit strategy from the war in Ukraine

"What worries me the most is that there is no exit strategy, just an eternal war in which children die in the trenches from artillery or machine guns and snipers, in minefields," Musk said on the social network X.

- Exit strategy? That is easy: Russia is free to leave Ukraine at any time! Who else could possibly exit??

Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, emphasized the strategy: The withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.

Podolyak, further commenting on Musk's post, said that after such posts by global influencers, "one has to wonder once again about the lack of basic logic in the modern world."

The total price tag of the measures is about $95.3 billion. About $50 billion of it will be used here in the U.S. to replenish the supplies that will go abroad.

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the Senate will take up the measure on Tuesday. Senators had gone home for recess but will come back to vote. The Department of Defense says it is ready to rush crucial supplies as soon as it gets the go-ahead. - Heather Cox Richardson

In Odesa, Russia attacked and destroyed two terminals filled with agricultural products intended to be exported to both Asian and African countries.

Russia is an enemy to the world, not only to Ukraine.

The existential danger of living in America under Republican presidents🚨(and under some R governors/legislatures):

Arguing that β€œviolence isn't random but a problem in public health & preventive medicine,” the researchers were blunt:

β€œSuicide, homicide, & combined suicide/homicide rates from 1900 to 2010 were found to be associated with an increase under Republican presidents & a decrease under Democratic ones with statistical significance.”

@ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic I am soon (hopefully) to be on my own, truly, for the first time in my life.

It is equal parts exciting and equal parts terrifying.

Trump’s team claimed that their tax law would boost household income by $4,000.

Well, the numbers are in.

New research shows that workers who earned less than $114,000 saw β€œno change in earnings.”

Meanwhile, top executive salaries increased sharply.

It was always a scam.

How do you handle unexpected change?
I got a new car - expected change, planned for, researched, anticipated. This was good change. For 2 days it's been in the shop, getting work done, and I'm driving a "courtesy car" from the dealership. Unexpected change, not my car, not my settings, not something I would choose for myself. Although it's a perfectly nice car, I find myself hating it, and getting angry every time I have to get in it. Any suggestions on how to cope with this?

I am puzzled

Some days ago I saw a part of a very recent #Trump
speech, when he rambled on about #CaryGrant in a swimsuit

Then I saw him wittering on about #Gettysburg, without uttering a coherent thought

Why are the #media not discussing he fact that he has completely lost it ?
