In all seriousness, I think it's time to accept that web search is currently broken as an idea, and we all need to go back to sharing our favorite links on personal websites. And we need to make personal websites a thing again, too.

Dozens of fraudulent public comments urging the state of #Ohio to allow fracking in state parks were sent in the names of people without their knowledge or permission. One was a 9-yr-old girl.

Republicans did this.

The story gets even deeper from there. Great reporting by #Jake_Zuckerman

Reminder that the Trump-appointed Florida federal judge overseeing one of his felony cases has served, for all practical purposes, as a member of the defense team. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo/aileen-cannon-mar-a-lago-slo

Your reminder:

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 Joe Biden visited the three sites hit by the terror attacks

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush paid tribute to victims at Ground Zero

And Trump flew to Florida to be a ringside commentator for a boxing match at the Hard Rock Casino.

I just had to update my numbers for a lecture, so here's your periodic reminder: Starlink is now 55% of ALL active satellites in orbit.

And given the recent news about that awful billionaire unilaterally deciding to cut of internet access to parts of the world whenever he decides to, this is extra important to share. Why did our governments effectively gift Low Earth Orbit to one awful dude? This is so bad.

Oh wow the chess team went to a star wars convention.

@georgetakei This episode raises even more questions. How did Elon know when and where the operation was happening so as to disable communications at the critical moment where the attack would fail and the drone assets lost? What other operations is he meddling with? Is he sharing any comms or location information gleaned from #Starlink with the Russians.

This blows my mind.

Conservatives were obsessed with Bill Clinton's dick. Tucker Carlson is obsessed with Obama's dick. Marjorie Traitor Green is obsessed with Hunter Biden's dick.

It's telling they never obsess about conservative dick. They know where the energy is.

The Media can go fuck itself with this 'Both Sides' shit

We live in a country where health insurance corps make billions exploiting the sick with unaffordable medicine, spike their insurance premiums, & deny their claims—& then use those ill gotten gains to fund politicians they know won't hold them accountable.

It's no wonder that out of all developed nations globally, the USA spends double per capita on healthcare—yet has lower life expectancy, higher maternal mortality, & higher infant mortality.

We need guaranteed universal healthcare. Period.

Genocide unfolding right before the UN's denying eyes >>

It is NOT a feud between #TraitorTuberville & Dems
It is a moronic football coach taking orders from our enemies to weaken the US Military by using his power to hurt US
So say Secretaries of the Army, Navy & Air Force

Wisconsin Justice Protasiewizc was elected by the voters. They heard her message and approved of it.

Wisconsin’s constitution says a judge can be impeached only for “corrupt conduct in office or for the commission of a crime or misdemeanor.” That hasn’t happened since 1853.

Knowing all this, Wisconsin’s Republicans will shamelessly flout the will of the voters and their oaths to the constitution. Because power is all that matters. If they can’t win, they cheat.

It would be cool if they opened up Area 51 to the public and it was just like a museum of weather balloons and their instruments that have drifted over the US through the years.

I hate all the "for the kids" legislation that's really just "hoover up all that data".

Only parents can protect their kids online. Parental controls for devices should be easy to use and really, that's it.

Stop trying to kneecap the entire web so one lazy fuck can avoid their kid seeing a female-presenting nipple or whatever. You being a lazy fuck is hurting them, not the nipple.

Does Mitch McConnell have a family? Does anyone love him enough to talk with him about... the finite nature of life. The preciousness of hours, minutes seconds?

How from dust we all have come and to dust we shall all return?

He could be petting some kittens. Listening to the sound of a child's laugh-- Dude really wants to die in front of us holding a pen mid-way through signing a bill that forces orphans to work in coal mines or something.

The worst thing about this Musk vs Zuck thing is it's making people root for Zuck. STOP IT, FIND ENOUGH SPACE IN YOUR HEART TO VISCERALLY HATE BOTH OF THEM
