And Usians are going to learn how much immigration is responsible for the U.S. birth rate not completely collapsing.

www.facebook.com/share/1DSnNM... If you find yourself arguing with people who want to talk about XX and XY, penises and vaginas.. They won't read this but refer them to this anyway.

Over the past year, I have come to understand the viewpoint that marriage is a business contract to build a private corporation. If my hypothetical wife and I were making equal pay, our combined take-home this year would still only be $67k, not including any family-related tax credits.

What the hell?

Been saying this for weeks.

Don't like the addition of this other thing because it wasn't necessary. The game gives enough tension and reasons without it and it takes away part of why what Ellie and Tommy do is stupid.

Who has two thumbs and forgot how a thermostat works? Clearly couldn't be this guy.

"Generic Yeast Spread" is a great band name This had been a Taskmaster AU post.

The irony is that normally this sort of bill would get shot down via judicial review anyway, which I would count on - except, y'know, Trumpian Supreme Court. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

I mean, yeah, it wasn't law. It's not even written like one. It's a list of grievances the colonists held against George III.

@ivyvine009.bsky.social Heard this, thought of you. www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZP8j6hYVQ/

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The United States is not ready to reshore. We don’t have the infrastructure, we don’t have enough workers, and also, we need to examine how many Americans are willing to work in the factory,” Tang said. “If you rush it, it could be rather risky and dangerous.” www.cnbc.com/2025/04/05/t...

Every single paper in the U.S. would be excoriating a Dem President who was golfing while the stock market melted down. We all know this. The editorial boards would be screeching, state tv ie Fox would be playing NONSTOP clips, etc. etc. It's worth remembering.

Anyone else getting "Nero playing the violin" vibes? 😮‍💨 www.ksat.com/business/202...

This is what I haven't seen shouted across any headline: THE INFRASTRUCTURE DOES NOT EXIST HERE ANYMORE. It all moved overseas, and production spaces were repurposed for other goals. All of the equipment? Exported or scrapped. Manufacturers OF the equipment? Out of business or doing other things.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

This is an “appeal to nature” logical fallacy that pervades the health/wellness industry. It’s comforting to think you have control when you don’t. Of course folks should eat well and exercise. But that won’t keep you from getting a virus. A vaccine will. A mask will. Better air filtration will.

Nothing makes you want to create comics more than reading people's cool comics, man

"Only sick people get disease!" Uh... that's kind of a tautology, isn't it? Once they're infected they are, by definition, sick. And if they must have had some pre-existing illness to get sick: where did that illness come from if only sick people get ill? If they were "healthy" they'd be impervious!

The first panel is issue 158 of Uncanny X-Men, 1981. The second panel is from 272 almost a decade later. Heckuva callback.

"H-O-T-T-O-G-O..."

Excuse me‽ When tf did Smith Family bookstore start opening on Sundays‽

Let's be real, Manson totally would have been the proto-Elon Musk if he'd been the son of an emerald mine magnate.

I have *some* sympathy, but not much. The neighborhood mentioned here is one of the two in Eugene with the highest levels of income. These folks can totally afford a third non-Tesla vehicle. www.kezi.com/news/eugene-...

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

In biology, I keep thinking of the bacterial strains, yeast strains, plasmids, mouse lines, worm mutants etc etc etc that will be lost to science FOREVER because the freezers and animal facilities won't be maintained Generations of work will be lost in essentially an instant

It's pretty sad when you're in the grocery store and can't think of any way to treat yourself.

I am a gorram hero. I went out and tracked down a box UPS sent across the city, and I got it back in time for the contents to be used by swing shift so a project stayed on time. Unfortunately, crowing to my friends would be negged as "capitalism bad!", so I'm crowing here, where no one knows me...

THEY DEPORTED US CITIZENS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE THE CHILDREN OF UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. WHY ISN'T THIS A NATIONAL HEADLINE? www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...
