Women stranded in #snow for three nights in #MendicinoCounty and had "no cell signal and... no way to call for help."

@yukari Enjoy. I've become an all TWSBI person. The rest of my pens are now stored in shoeboxes. Sad, I know.

“I hate him passionately,” Carlson added.

@lauren I'm sure he would. Musk is envious of and hates smart engineers and scientists. They are what he wishes he could be and pretends to be. This is why he invests in tech companies that provide plenty of opportunities to pretend that he's the brains. He isn't. Never was
@ai6yr I'm always on the lookout for UR callsigns.
@schwa It doesn't matter to him now. But it will later. A lawsuit in this case looks like a slam dunk and very expensive. Right wingers have gotten into the habit of letting it all hang out these days because they believe they'll overthrow the government before the bills come due.
@schwa Until he gets sued.

@MJmusicinears All this will do is drive it underground and create more business for criminals.
This is what happens. Always. The ancient Chinese wrote about it. Nothing new. You cannot legislate away something that people want to do. They will find a way to do it anyway. Always.
@Scienceisnotopinions What I'm concerned about is this, that I wrote about a month ago. https://shuttersparks.net/masks-after-may-11th-2023/
Please pay attention to GOP in Georgia: they just passed a bill in Senate to give GOP ability to remove any prosecutor. This is 100% so they can remove DA Fani Willis who is on verge of indicting Trump. GOP is willing to change law to protect Trump! https://ajc.com/politics/georgia-das-could-face-new-oversight-under-gop-measure/67NBPFTYQVHX7BCNF5KS5BIFDI/

If you have a dog like mine who enjoys sticking their schnoz in your armpits—stay with me here—then they might have a bright future as a covid "sniffer" pup.
New research shows they're good at it.

Left-Wing Authoritarianism
“Similar to right-wing authoritarianism, left-wing authoritarianism entails hostility towards ‘different’ others, a willingness to wield in-group authority to coerce behaviour, cognitive rigidity, aggression and punitiveness towards out-groups, a focus on status hierarchies and moral absolutism.”

@knittingknots Yes. Since the mid-90s, the U.S. military "The Pentagon" has considered climate change to be the biggest threat to U.S. security over the next 50 years. As climate change advances it expects unprecedented global unrest. Millions will be displaced, food and water supplies for much of the world will be impacted, and it's going to get real ugly.
So, yeah.
