@tess We are not without options on how to move forward here. In Dana's thread wakame @wakame suggests an approach: https://tech.lgbt/@wakame/110776075653587845

Other good ideas are out there, but we need to get out out in front of this issue.

Just… wow. #ProLifeMyAss

Via @emptywheel:

10-year old girl who had been raped had to leave OH to abort her rapist's fetus.

Brit Hume says the law refusing a 10 year old to bear her rapists fetus is not about women's health.

Brit Hume:

"Reproductive services," my ass. This is about #abortion, which is about avoiding reproduction. It is about the taking of a human life, despite the parade of euphemisms used to cover that fact: "women's health," "reproductive care," "reproductive autonomy"

I'm writing a piece about the negative impacts of data centers on local communities. I am aware of what is happening in Uruguay and Chile. Are there any good examples out there of community impact and community action against data centers?

Using #ALMA, astronomers have found the possible sibling of a #planet orbiting a distant #star PDS 70.

The team has detected a cloud of debris that might be sharing this planet’s #orbit and which, they believe, could be the building blocks of a new planet or the remnants of one already formed.

If confirmed, this discovery would be the strongest evidence yet that two #exoplanets can share one orbit.

I lived in Michigan for nearly all my voting life until we moved to Oregon a few years ago. Mail-in / drop-off voting is the only civilized way.

In Oregon, I get a text & email when the ballot is coming. The ballot arrives on my doorstep. I read the info packet and vote at my leisure in the kitchen. We drop the ballots off, we get email & text that it's been received.

At no point in that process do I stand in a line, not like I did back in Michigan. Everyone should get to do it this way

In just over an hour the #NHS #radiographers start their #strike.

I know I keep saying this, but if in the next couple of days your #treatment is delayed due to their action, please remember no-one in the NHS wants to harm #patients.

The strikers have been backed into a corner by an aggressive policy of defunding the NHS carried out by a party contemptuous of our #HealthService!

Lay this at the #Tories door and...

A great story via @Edent:

A customer complained that their bank was spelling their name incorrectly. The bank refused to solve the issue because it didn't have support for diacritical marks on US mainframe era software, so the customer raised a GDPR complaint under Article 16, sued and won!

And yeah, unfortunately, we will have to use more frakkin' #nuclear energy because #FossilFuels are REAL BAD, and the switch to #renewables has been stymied by #OilCompanies and others. We should be WAY AHEAD on renewable technology by now. Grrrrr....
