Seems to me if business wants the perks, they ought to take on the responsibility, just like real people have to.
Good morning Resisters. It's now 39⁰F with 35 mph winds. A brisk morning in the Ozarks
Hey, take them away. Those would all be MAGA types. Good riddance. We know Wagner is a suicide mission.
So if you want to tweet more than that does he plan to charge? When I was on Twitter I averaged 60-100 DMs and maybe 200-300 tweets and retweets. Plus about 50-60 photos.
When you've invested so much in your #Twitter account you're literally praying for miracles. #TwitterLimit

If the US and China go to the brink, can they figure out how to de-escalate? https://www.vox.com/2023/2/9/23591561/china-us-philippines-bases-japan-australia?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Led by "pro-life" Republican governor Bill Lee, Tennessee is refusing a multi-million dollar grant from the CDC to test and treat those with HIV. As Kristen Thomason says, in Tennessee, the populations most at risk of HIV infection are young Black men.
This move is parallel to the move of other "pro-life" states to refuse federal money to expand Medicaid, leaving economically deprived people without medical care.

The rate of sea-level rise is speeding up: the warmer it gets, the faster the continental ice melts. Basic physics. There is enough ice on Greenland and Antarctica for 65 meters of rise. We can only afford to lose a tiny fraction of that!

Ukraine will get the help it needs to regain it's territory, all of it, including Crimea and Donbas.
The lease for the Sevastopol naval base will be over.
Putin's regime will stand trial for war crimes.
Russian oligarchs assets will be sold to rebuild Ukraine.
Putin's enablers in the West will be investigated for sanctions-busting.
Ukraine needs to win or no democracy is safe from the moneyed interests funding an international fascist movement.

A new Iowa bill would allow 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs.
Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed. The new Iowa bill would also completely lift a ban on 14 and 15-year-olds working in freezers and meat coolers, and allow kids as young as 14 1/2 to drive themselves to work.

Bill also would shield businesses from liability
The bill exempts businesses from civil liability if a student is sickened, injured or killed due to the company's negligence. A business also would be free of civil liability if a student is hurt because of the teen's negligence on the job — or is injured traveling to or from work. https://newsie.social/@toussaint/109825732126590543

I was going to stay home today on account of the fog and the flooding in low areas. But then I read my email. The local market has riblets in 10 pound boxes for $9.99. Those things are delicious after 8 hours in the slow cooker.
Have never tasted a Chick-fil-A. They can't be that good. Never have I seen a Harry Potter movie. But then I am not a kid. And Kanye is not my thing. But I can't do without WalMart. That's where I get my $25 bottles of insulin.

People whinging about not being allowed to enjoy some things anymore. Chick-fil-A. Harry Potter. Kanye. No one is stopping you hoss. Hell, I enjoy ...
