When Alaska rolled back its protections for LGBTQ people, it didn't send out a press release.

Instead, the state quietly announced the policy change via the social media feeds of its human rights commission.

The agency's Twitter and Facebook accounts had a total of 102 followers as of yesterday.

New, from @ProPublica & Anchorage Daily News:

“If Ray Bradbury could do it, I’m gonna do it. If Stephen King can do it, I’m gonna do it.” I said this at my book launch last night about writing in multiple genres. I am not staying in a lane, I’m forging my own road.

During our trips to Glacier National Park, my wife and I would find a place to relax in the evening. she would read and I would set up my camera gear. On this trip, we were pleasantly surprised when this Bull walked out of the willows and started feeding in the Lake. We watched him for a good 20 minutes before he left.

Andrew Duncomb, also known as "Black Rebel," Confederate apologist (incredibly enough) hate group member, street terrorist, and just general piece of shit-person who participated in the deadly Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, is working as security at Providence Park Fred Meyer HERE in Portland, address 100 NW 20th Place. He was on the clock there last night at 5 PM.

Duncomb is a white nationalist shill with an EXTENSIVE record of assaulting protestors, women, journalists, disabled people, deploying bear mace, shooting into crowds with paintball guns, fighting alongside Alan Swinney, flipping over cars in Portland, and getting stabbed.

Call Fred Meyer or, if you feel safe doing so, show up and let their manager know what you think about them employing a known member of christofascist hate groups who is on extensive video record attacking Portland.

Sol Duc Falls

Olympic National Park seems to be a magical place where greens are brighter, greener, richer, fuller, and just plain beautiful.
Throw that in with a fabulous hiking trail with small streams and rapids along the way and it magical.
This image shows the Sol Duc River with the rapids and waterfall. See the full image here:https://fineartamerica.com/featured/sol-duc-falls-bill-gallagher.html #AYearForArt #BillGallagherPhotography #OlympicNationalPark #SolDucFalls #SolDucRiver #PacificNorthwest #Waterfall #Nature #SpringIntoArt

Y'all do realize that Republicans never once believed in "small government," right? That it was only ever PR spin? And that no conservatives actually do, or ever did, include that as part of their core philosophies? On the left we tend to treat pointing out conservative hypocrisy as the ultimate "gotcha." But conservatism has been internally inconsistent since the beginning, so it's kind of a hollow criticism.

One of Margot’s favorite places to hide is a reusable shopping bag from a Van’s outlet. Does it make a good hiding place? Not at all. But it makes it easy to scoop her up and carry her around. #Caturday

BREAKING: Neo-Nazis are reportedly in the Hart Senate Office Building in the United States Capitol complex right now. They are claiming a senator invited them there. Ryan Sanchez is a member of the neo-Nazi Rise Above Movement gang (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/11/7/2134381/-OANN-features-neo-Nazi-gang-member-on-air-to-defend-January-6th-Capitol-insurrectionist).

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Are there ANY car manufacturers NOT selling data about you / your car?

Reading @pluralistic 's Feb 28 piece about VW tracking cars (and not providing the info unless you pay): https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/28/kinderwagen/

Is anyone keeping a list of car manufacturers who are NOT doing this?

@tippenring @tinker @joshbuddy @danyork @pluralistic Apparently in the just-concluded Murdaugh murder trial, the prosecution subpoenaed GM's OnStar for data. GM initially responded that there was no responsive data but then later found the data, which was instrumental in obtaining a conviction.

The first thing Nazi Germans did after seizing power was round up all the drag queens "to protect the children".

The first thing Maga Americans did after seizing power was round up all the drag queens "to protect the children".

Any questions?

In his recent saber-rattling speech, Putin pretended to have the key to the bible and ownership of God, as he made absurd claims that the bible has established a world in which men are men (and meant to rule) and women are women (and meant to submit). As if Putin stands for any credible religious values….
