Eat shit, Chili’s. Your corporate values do not align with humanity. Into the bin with you.
Also, maybe a good time to mention that Chili’s unhealthy industrial food processing practices were highlighted as particularly egregious, in the book The End of Overeating by former FDA commissioner David Kessler.

How Costa Rica regrew its rainforests: with laws, economic incentives and tourism. Costa Rica has completely reversed its rampant deforestation from the 20th century, lifting natural forest cover from under 25% by 1985 to well over half the country today. Vox buff.ly/OGCgXQx #ShareGoodNewsToo
This escalated fast, in a good way.
In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo
An idea is a human thing, but what we have here is an exploitable systemic circumstance of which billionaires took advantage to gain greater power over the public mind. AI stands to further concentrate that power.
We need to modify systemic constraints to fix this problem. See: Cory Doctorow
I’m glad the NYT still publishes at least some thoughtful progressive voices, but I canceled my subscription several years ago over their extensive amplification of the illiberal and intolerant, giving credence to crackpot science and willful ignorance, especially TERF-y malarkey about trans ppl
This has been pointed out many times (including by Evan!), but it bears repeating that this is the same playbook used to sow suspicion on vaccinations and the existence of climate change.
NEW: In the first appeals court hearing over one of the subpoenas it sent to gender-affirming care providers, Trump's DOJ advanced legal arguments that cast an ominous shadow over the future of access to medications the administration doesn't approve of, including abortion pills.
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
I thought “electability” referred to the chances of winning in the general election, with the implied understanding that the primary by itself doesn’t get the candidate to office.
Plenty of primary winners of history have been unable to win general elections.
The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.
I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.
More Trumpist echos of Nazism
i’m not as worried about the Terminator/Skynet scenario as I am about the usefulness to wealth, ego, and power obsessed people to manipulate the public mind more effectively than past forms of media.
The most addicted power-wealth-ego-maniacs ever do seek inexhaustible supplies of their fix.
Au contraire: this is TERRIFYING. It means someone in Iran is waking up a sleeper network. I wonder why? (That was a rhetorical question: the obvious answer is "revenge", probably planned some time after 1988 (the US shoot-down of Iran Air flight 655).
This reminds me of the annoying toaster from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
For @ms.now I wrote about how progressive in the NC statehouse primary sent a warning to centrist Dems with a penchant for collaborating with Republicans on culture war issues like ICE and trans issues. www.ms.now/opinion/nort...
One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.
The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.
“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS HEALTH CARE.

Singapore demonstrates that specially-bred mosquitos can keep dengue suppressed at city-scale. When scientists breed male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with Wolbachia, the males don’t bite, and when they mate with wild females the eggs don’t hatch. buff.ly/pGU9c9z

Scientists in California have created a new way to see inside the body by combining ultrasound with a light-based technique called photoacoustic imaging. The result produces fast 3D images that show both the shape of soft tissues and how blood is flowing.

“Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender” (DIAG) is a hate group spreading misinformation.
just juxtaposing the idea that caring about trans people’s safety & dignity isn’t “culturally normal” with:
• 401,000 people fleeing homes
• “if the gender/sex…on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential”
Trans people in Kansas are having IDs stripped. IDs they need to function in the modern world. To vote.
When politicians and pundits tell you trans rights are a distraction, that we're not worth fighting for, they're telling the folks to go fuck themselves
Trans folks have kitchen tables too
To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.
