Children really do just casually say the most profound things and then go back to coloring like nothing happened. I asked my five year old daughter if she believes in magic expecting her to say something about unicorns, instead she informed me that of course magic is real because she’s looking at me and I’m looking at her. Yeah, I didn’t need my heart today.
Farmers are reporting that data centres are destroying their bees. I don't think people understand how important this is. Bees pollinate about one in every three bites of food we eat. They're far more important to humanity than any Al tool or data centre.
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
A Texas woman got an abortion. So Texas police used 83,000 Flock cameras to track her down. 83 THOUSAND!! They aren't using these cameras to track down rapists, pedophiles, or traffickers. They're not using them to find your missing children. They're using them to throw women in jail for making choices about their own bodies, with OUR tax dollars.
the thing abt climate change is that the earth will be fine, it always has been. it used to be a ball of volcanic ash and primordial soup. we however will not be fine
My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.
I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.
28 items. $64.50.
Added every single one back to the cart just to see.
$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.
In five years.
We didn’t buy more.
Didn’t upgrade anything.
Didn’t add a single extra item.
Just needed the same things we always needed.
They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.
Our cart didn’t get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.
Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.
And it shows.
I saw a little girl who looked to be around 8 in the bathroom washing her hands & I said “wow you’re so pretty!” & then when I got into the stall I heard her tell her mom & her mom said “see, I told you!”
The fact that women can have their nudes leaked and have their whole career go down the drain, but men can have a full-blown rape allegation and still end up as president? Yeah, I don’t wanna hear a single person argue that gender inequality doesn’t exist.
I’will never get tired of reminding you that if men were the ones with a uterus, pads and tampons would be free. If men could get pregnant, you’d be able to get the abortion pill OTC, and there would be zero abortion restrictions.
