While I don’t really want any of these people hurt, I do hope that some of the UFC employees emerge with strains and sprains from their engagement with more seriously trained FBI agents.

Also, Americans frequently forget to ask the cost of gas elsewhere in the world. For example...

As a climate activist, I've always thought so.

But to keep it from falling most heavily on the poor (of which our system has created a bumper crop), it should be paired with a carbon fee and rebate, as has been long proposed.

Obvious strategy ever since that book, Men Are Not Cost Effective, was published. About time. Make it so.

Any chance we can talk about the US educational system sometime soon?

Also shorthand for "I wonder what company name is used for most of the phishing and spam I receive." Temu shoppers must be gullible AF.

If manufacturers have trouble getting buy-in from the states, maybe roll them out to struggling communities where it would be a game changer. Native pueblos and reservations come to mind first, but also farming communities in South and Central America, Africa, Asia . . .

Anthony Joshua bides time, knocks out Jake Paul in sixth round It took longer than many predicted, but Anthony Joshua finally hunted down Jake Paul, dropping him four times in a sixth-round knockout victory.

Couldn't remember where I heard his name. He got his ass handed to him a few months back, and his jaw broke. www.espn.com/boxing/story...

Every corporation, whether publicly or privately owned, should be a B corporation, or they should not be permitted to operate in various jurisdictions – like the Bay Area.

Imagine X becoming a B corporation.

I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.

More than 165 young girls were killed while in school in Iran.

Children who were learning, laughing, growing into their futures.

No parent anywhere should have to bury their daughter because of war.

I am profoundly sorry.πŸ’”

Shame on anyone that treats their deaths as collateral damage.πŸ‘‡

6 years ago tomorrow, I was in Albuquerque visiting friends, wandering a local garden. We had heard rumblings about a new virus. Not long after, I got involved with a mutual aid organization for the first time. Five months later, I moved to Dubuque, where I am now.

Send not to know…

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.
