McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Screenshot shows a facebook post about robot videosd and how they make me uneasy. Wrapped around the post is a message from Meta, which reads "Meet Manus, your new AI work partner Use Manus to create posts for your page that engage your audience"

OK this is just funny as hell. I posted a comedy video about Boston Dynamics robots and Meta came back with their AI offering to write posts for me...

CHRIS HAYES: β€œare you a yes, or no on the supplemental appropriations bill to continue to fund this war?”

SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: β€œI’m a hell no on any more money for this war.” πŸ”₯

I appreciate Senator Van Hollen’s clear-cut answer here. No gameplaying!

Because when cars go past me at 20 mph they do it on the street while I'm on the pavement. When cyclists go past me at 20 mph sometimes they use the bike lane, sometimes they use the pavement and give me an inch of room. Cyclists might be wary of cars, pedestrians have to be wary of it ALL.

Cyclists and pedestrians are on the same side, and conflicts like these arise because we are all being crammed into small slivers of space not taken by cars. Cyclists need to be courteous, yes, but a lot of this is solved by better infrastructure.

Also, most cyclists are not riding at 20 mph.

It's a meh show I wouldn't watch it except her older brother Connor seems to be on the spectrum and they've had some good eps about him Also one of the eponymous characters is in hot water in Texas for saying God is a woman - wonder if they are commenting on Talarico

You know what, if it stops the war, give him a medal and move on.

And yes... we're going to be hit with terrorist attacks worse than 9/11 - our antiterrorism capability has been decimated

Inside of a microwave meal box torn open, with a comic sketched on it. George Orwell appears in a time machine and asks a modern person about their smart phone. They explain what it can do. He runs in terror away from the phone yelling "TIME MACHINE! Get me the hell out of this century NOW!"

He also has a shaky record on helping homeless people - or more correctly on addressing fundamental issues that make it so hard for people to find home.

No candidate is going to be perfect but look for better, and keep the pressure on whoever wins.

Katie Couric confronts Gavin Newsom on his shifting views on transgender youth The veteran journalist called the California governor out on the perception that he's retreating from his LGBTQ+ rights allyship.

GAVIN NEWSOME has a decent voting record on trans issues, but seems to hit a barrier in sports.

Full disclosure; I never gave a crap about sports at any time in my life, and I'm not about to start now. But this micro-issue still matters. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Every elected and appointed Republican in all levels of government belongs in prison for the rest of their lives. The GOP must be abolished and banned from existing anymore as a political party. They are a terrorist group.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

I like the way some countries have Crisis of Confidence procedures that automatically trigger a vote for new government. WE NEED THAT HERE! We'll never be safe from GOP majority in government.

Americans are addicted to cars, but in many ways it's a forced addiction. Decades of policy have made cars the dominant mode of travel at the expense of others, and marketing reinforces the car as the "best" choice. This isn't to excuse individual choices, but car dependency is a systemic issue.
