The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

They're going to make being mean to Tesla owners a hate crime

mommy coming on line to defend your multi billion dollar nazi company is crazy

If you are in the St. Louis area, you have a few chances to watch No Other Land, the Oscar winning doc. It’s playing at Webster University tonight at 7 pm & Sun 3:30 pm and 7 pm. Just saw it. So profound and moving. It will leave you changed. Go see it while you can.

mark my words: there will never be a major war where the winning side does not rely heavily on human infantry i do think you will see several future losers of major wars who disagree with this prediction

Interesting letter to the editor in West End Word from 2000 describing a displacement even I had never heard of previous, that of the displacement of homeowners for the construction of Cardinal Ritter.

Zero surprise that Steak n Shake, a proud member of the Cracker Barrel family, is now overtly vice-signaling to fash that beef tallow is back on the menu www.wfla.com/news/nationa...

Lego ass looking building on right looks like an ugly Clayton tower on top of, well an equally tall brick of parking

Vincent Van Donut is the perfect donut shop for FPSE. Gentrifying donuts.

The Department of Agriculture has eliminated two committees that advise it on food safety – including the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection – raising concerns about government oversight of the food supply. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

This is like when liberals cried real tears when Sandra day O'Connor died hailing her as a small c conservative feminist icon. Iconic vote on Bush v. Gore too, that diva.

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

This story is so crazy. Among other things, the apparent majority owner accuses US Bank of being "woke," lol.

Oh no it sounds like The Groups might not shut up. so much for our foolproof plan to "compromise"and never talk about this again. How does our "this plan will work as long as 330 million people agree to shutup" plan keep failing

I am not long for STL.

Another failed corporate welfare hotel #LastHotelSTL "Qualizza has been in a yearslong dispute with his business partner Neil Freeman over hotel operations. A federal lawsuit filed in 2021 by their lender U.S. Bank over allegations they defaulted on a $12 M construction loan is still ongoing."

The National Cancer Institute (part of NIH) released new guidelines for "controversial, high-profile or sensitive" keywords that require "review prior to publication" if included in a product or materials. Keywords include abortion, obesity, and peanut allergies.

Anyway I dunno if it'll be tonight or Sunday but my next color is done. A crop showing Douglass Hall in Mill Creek at Lawton and Beaumont (with a big polar wave plant in the background). Here in 1904 Louis Chauvin bested Tom Turpin in a ragtime context & in 1923 Garvey spoke to a sold out crowd

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

A suburban school district announces it hired a Black woman superintendent and within days, racist graffiti appears on the school wall. “Wite Power,” indeed. Racists clearly struggle with spelling, among other things. #Affton #stl

They're destroying civil rights history because they want to repeal the Civil Rights Act www.alreporter.com/2025/03/06/h...

st. louis has been ruled by business interests for like, its entire existence, which has created the fucked up city we have now, but yeah, we need a pro-business mayor

Best part of this speech was Al Green rebuking the myth of meritocracy:

There's a pelicans grill postcard on eBay if that's your thing.

Judge orders closure of the Last Hotel on Washington. A man claiming to be the hotel’s co-owner isn’t named in the report. 👀 Tax breaks awarded to the hotel developer included tax abatement, MO & federal historic tax credits, New Markets Tax Credits…& more. #LastHotelSTL youtu.be/GnoHiRXI5J4?...

This includes Wesley Bell. Who was put in power by a coalition of genocidal liberals and AIPAC

The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.

honest question: did they just ctrl+f for "gay" bsky.app/profile/brad...
