Not usually a huge fan of political Twitter gotchas, but this response to the disastrous Elon and sassy sloth "launch" today is priceless.

 

[DRW50]

This is shocking. It makes me pine for the days of the demon sheep ad. There were reports last week from Tiger Beat on the Potomac about the pig's wife and how much she helps keep him in a bubble with her own demands and ego trips. If this is what they're coming up with together, then I say keep it going.

Didn’t listen or tune into to that flop of a Twitter Spaces announcement, but I read that, by the time they got the audio and technical difficulties worked out, the audience had dwindled from 500,000 to 163,000 listeners.

So SCOTUS has basically rendered the long-standing Clean Water Act ineffective in regulating most water resources against pollution. This horrid branch of government.

Some rare good news of late. The Oklahoma state legislature overrode their dumbass governor's veto of PBS for having queer content.

There’s a reason for the high cost and the precarity of grocery stock and it may not be what you think.

Discussion about the cost of groceries might seem somewhat pedestrian and a topic only reserved for inept politicians to haphazardly make mention of during elections, it is an aspect that merits serious analysis and discussion, especially the ties to corporate interests and how those interests are pitted against farmers and consumers.

Keep in mind that this is an Op-Ed article but the insights proposed in this article seem to ring true to what has been occurring.
