Just deeply evil stuff here. The state of Florida in 2018 allowed felons to vote after a referendum. These people were given voter registration cards. They voted. But not all felons can vote. So DeSantis is rounding them up.

Over four years ago, Brian protested with March For Our Lives to demand action on gun violence in our schools and communities. This week, he was shot in both hands and through his neck by an AR-15 at his school in St. Louis. He jumped out of a window to save his life.

Two kinds of cicadas, one that comes up every 13 yrs and one that comes up every 17 yrs, are for the first time since 1803 coming up at the same time in April and all I can think about is, How the F are we going to register them? bit.ly/LiftEveryVoteDonation…

Journalists, please stop using the word "election" to describe what is going on in Russia this weekend. Totalitarian dictatorships do not hold "elections." No one ever covered such events as "elections" in the USSR. Please stop. This is not an election. #FactsMatter.

'22 Aus Op: Sabalenka: 56 doubles; desperate, underarm serving. She hires a biomechanics expert who rebuilds her serve; issue was mechanical, NOT emotional. '23 AO: 18 DF's; 17 aces. An ASTOUNDING turnaround! NYT: her first GS win in a rocky career marked by big-moment meltowns.

It’s incredibly difficult being a climate scientist in this society, at an emotional level. We can see the future, it is terrifying, and we are being ignored

This is a very sad day for our newsroom. Absolutely outrageous that our publisher wouldn’t answer a single question after announcing widespread layoffs.

“Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” MLK
White college nerds, especially boys who like toys, cheered at this event. Yes we can! It's hard to imagine anybody living in deeply challenging conditions, for example, the parents of the 1/4 of American children who now live in poverty, giving a shit. /6

Yes, we could learn useful stuff from the research. The same is true of research to reduce suffering, or climate change, now. We're spending $384M on a hypothetical problem, that could *maybe* be faced by the great, great grandchildren of the kids in Jackson, Mississippi? /7
Astounding story.

The Tripiṭaka Koreana was designated a National Treasure of South Korea in 1962, and inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2007. It's importance to the Korean people is incalculable - it's an integral part of the national cultural identity. 19/

In Spain they have salt towers they point mirrors at and overnight have heat from the salt. Also pumping water uphill with solar in day and running it downhill for energy at night

We just voted for a system to alert communities when there is an active shooter situation - similar to an amber alert - and 80% of Republicans voted against it. The bill was endorsed by law enforcement.
