@JessicaL_27@Amy_Siskind The KY State Constitution allows the governor to appoint a senator if there's a vacancy. Their law doesn't supercede the state constitution. They just hope the Dems don't fight them on this. We need to demand that the fight happens.
Close to a year ago, I flagged that the White House had classified IUDs, birth control pills & hormonal implants as "abortifacient birth control." The news was buried six paragraphs into a NYT story—and wasn't mentioned in the headline or social promo
@jmrphy But! "None so zealous than a reformed sinner." There's a subset of reformed sinner who would go great w/ the sort of man who holds these beliefs. They'd get their holier than thou wifey who holds the same beliefs even more strongly. Sad they would reject her on looks. Shallow!
@Guimarin I've wanted a searchable DB of all US laws for a long time. I looked into doing it myself. But many states have laws about sharing/publishing their laws! It's illegal in some states or they will fight you with takedown/copyright notices. Bullshit. It won't happen without a fight.
@Jringo1508@Koltaine11 I was a broke college student in the early 2000's and there was a page on Baen's website with some free e-books. That's where I found one of your books, for the first time. Been a fan since! Agree on Baen in general, so much good stuff!!
I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women.
I changed a single variable: My name.
Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."
@HispanoChucky@YeahThatGuyTi@MetaM00@fuckyouiquit@GovKathyHochul Yes. I'd rather pay for public safety net, schools & libraries than wars & settlements for police brutality. But that's why we need people like Mamdani. Attend local politics & make your voice heard! That's not the same as "working for free" we purchase modern life, good & bad.
@HispanoChucky@YeahThatGuyTi@MetaM00@fuckyouiquit@GovKathyHochul Taxes are what we pay to purchase civilization. Roads. Fire fighters. Schools. Sewers. Water treatment. Police. Street lamps, stop lights, signs. Infrastructure. Miles of wires & pipes. Everyone who keeps it running. That's not free, you buy it by living there & paying taxes.
@WereChihuahua@midwestern_ope@alexthechick Also if you pick up two, one must be held in each hand, you must raise them up and cackle loudly while clacking them repeatedly. If you're under the age of 20, you must also chase someone while laughing maniacally. Above age 20, it's merely a suggestion. Highly advised though.
@zillowgonewild I'm sure it was great back in the day, did you notice the outlet in the blue carpet bedroom has fire damage? Nice little electrical fire mark there!
@TheGotchaGirl@Notwokenow I think it's more believable now than it was 10 years ago. It's obvious the rule of law is broken & laws are only applied to some people & not others. Only she's way too poor and doesn't have important friends to get that treatment! I don't blame her for wanting to believe.
@MimiVGaldi@SPOOOKYUFO Why the fake black and white and film grain effect? Also, if religious leaders are having calls to coordinate with the government, I'm not gonna trust them. Sorry, no way no how.
@WholesomeMeme I also worry about warming water too much. What if they radiate heat up & use the water to cool radiators & then cascade or splash to cool it in air as much as possible? Air+water is better than just air. Also have the pumps filter out trash & microplastics!
@memechaotic Similar to 2, but rather than front foot and back foot, turn it sideways and have it walk like a cowboy. I mean, I really think 3, but what I've suggested will horrify more people.
@ProsectorPath@midwestern_ope If they do that she'll know he's gonna propose! If it's one of the DQs near a little park/green space he's gonna propose first & then they'll go get DQ to celebrate. Girl better wear the sundress and strappy sandals, but bring jeans & boots in the truck just in case! 🥰🥰
