A question for the ages

The hard hitting journalism I’ve come to trust from the ghouls at Fox.

“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber #cities #urbanism

This is the #government I want.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

Sometimes I read these alternative history novels with the premise of “What if the USA lost the American Revolution?”

The plot is always super dystopian.

Meanwhile, I’m thinking, “I know what would happen if the USA lost the American Revolution: they’d be Canada.”

4 YEAR OLD: I can't sleep, Daddy. I'm afraid of Frankenstein.
ME: Don't you mean Frankenstein's monster?
4 YEAR OLD: I do not. Personally, I find unethical and irresponsible scientific practice far more terrifying than any monster and so should you.

A letter from a former slave to his "owner".

Backstory: the owner wanted the freed slave to return to him.

This reply, by the former slave, is genius.

It was published in the Cincinnati Commercial newspaper on August 7, 1865. #BlackMastodon https://www.good.is/Culture/jordan-andersons-legendary-clapback-rp

We thought the internet would advance civilization by providing instantaneous access to all of human knowledge. Instead it enabled the loudest most wrong people on the planet to build a world in which facts are subjective.

This video is misleading, possibly deliberately so. There are people born with Y chromosomes who are female and it is not that rare. To say so is not leftist. You just need an education in genetics. Further, there are people born intersex, and it's genetic.

Reply (some dude):
You look like a nice guy Philip, but she is a Pediatrician

Reply (Philip Batterham):
And I am the President of the International Genetics
Federation.

So, how can you be anti-woke when you can't define what woke means?
