Once again: DST doesn’t solve the problem of going to/from work in the dark. Instead, when days get shorter in the fall, we should just shorten the workday by an hour. Then in spring, when we start getting more daylight again, we can shorten the workday by another hour.

I would really, REALLY like people in positions of power and influence to push back on the idea that the government should be run like a business. It’s not a business! Its purpose is not to make money, it is to ensure the general welfare of its people!

I have been saying for the last year, cops don't want money, better equipment, etc. They want impunity and that's what Trump offers.

Immigration is an unalloyed good, at all socioeconomic and educational levels. We should have a lot more of it. We could absorb the entire populations of El Salvador and Honduras into the United States without blinking if we wanted to.

When Ken Paxton threw a fit about voter registration outreach, San Antonio just ignored him and mailed out the forms. They refused to comply with meritless and anti-democratic demands. More of this, indeed

Oh. Is this why the GOP wants to pass the SAVE act so bad? To be able to prevent women from voting? Especially women in blue states? newrepublic.com/article/1861...

Lmaoo the NCGOP is doubling down and backing up Robinson. Really telling on yourself calling it "personality contest" when one candidate is a self-professed Nazi

The replacement of the amazingly functional minivan by the far less useful--and much more expensive, dangerous to others, and climate-unfriendly--4' or 6' bed pickup truck is a big, infuriating failure of both culture and policy. (Gift link)

"Writing in a forum discussing Black Republican...Robinson stated unprovoked: “I’m a black NAZI!” ...That same month, Robinson wrote...“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,” he wrote." www.cnn.com/2024/09/19/p...

Well, well. The Heritage Foundation somehow added me to their mailing lists and wants me, their "Fellow Patriot", to take a survey that they'll use to form policy? It'd be a shame if the link for that got out into the wild, wouldn't it? secured.heritage.org/annual-suppo...

I worked for a fly by night long distance phone company founded by a convicted drug trafficker. We couldn't operate in our home state due to shady biz practices. We never made any kind of profit, and the top 3 execs all made million dollar salaries. Finally went chapter 7.

I’m moving from a neutral-negative dislike of this technology to an active hatred. It’s useless, loved by the worst people, and is now actually standing in the way of progress toward a not-destroyed planet & human thriving. Are we going to let rich assholes one-neat-trick us to extinction?
