His administration won’t let NOAA provide accurate forecasts so that the farmers can plan ahead.

He’ll also deplete irrigation water in the off season so there’s less of it available when farms need it.

Not to mention, a significant chunk of the farm workers are/will be rounded up.

Thankfully, there are some designs that improve on this! Here’s what’s in my kitchen:

The brand is OXO, for anyone curious.

It sounds like they mean a certain procedure that’s done to animals that cuts them off from the influence of hormones.

before we enter the twilight of American democracy.

Twilight already started. Look around at the anti-woke crowd, urging us to go back to sleep. Shhh, calm now, strong daddy government will totally keep us safe. If you think you hear anything scary going on, don’t worry - you’re just imagining it.

For themselves. They only care about what will impact themselves. If the power grid got cut in the poorer parts of town, but their own power stayed on, most rich people wouldn’t give a damn. Just like with lead water pipes, or budget-starved public schools, or the myriad of other issues that impact millions of non-rich people, they will let this shit happen for as long as they’re not affected by it. No benevolent rich people are going to come out of the woodwork to save us.

As far as ways to filter for such positions, maybe look for roles that require traveling? At the very least, you’d be in a different location throughout your week.

By this logic, the less predictable your daily life is, the more “alive” you are.

So for a lot of us, to be “alive” is to experience constant anxiety about what’s about to happen.

…

Actually, that tracks.

So much for ending emails with a simple “thank you” at the end. Damn offensive pronouns.

Anyone else remember Neopets? They had a filter that was extreme and multilingual. I can’t count how many times I’d write a friendly message, the filter would block it, and I would end up editing chunks of text trying to avoid whatever word or series of letters the filter thought was inappropriate. Sometimes it’d be a few letters embedded in another word (like “associate” being banned for the letters a s s.) But sometimes, I was truly stumped. The only explanation I can think of is that some letters in English words matched up to swears in other languages.

Anyway, fun fact - I met my first boyfriend through that site. We decided to see how dirty we could talk while still getting messages past the filter. We used innuendos, slang, and other turns of phrase with each other just to see what we could get away with.

In the end, all that filter did was make us more creative at communicating forbidden topics. Whoops ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

This needs to be its own post, if it isn’t already.

With the way this year is starting, I wouldn’t be surprised if even they show up.

Get ready for sov cits to find a way to apply this to themselves.

Looks like neonazis are unaware that Hitler was vegetarian (from 1938, til the end of his life.)

Not that I expect neonazis to be knowledgeable about history, or capable of recognizing their own hypocrisy. It’s just somewhat amusing that if this meme holds true, even their Fuhrer’s dietary choices would’ve upset them.

It’s ideal for when you want to have hot, steamy conversations about all your deepest, darkest desires. Like popping CEOs, overthrowing the oligarchy, and making enough money to afford all your basic human needs.

Tell you what. I just got a couple boxes of canvas. If they do “ban porn,” I’ll dedicate every one of these brand new canvasses to making erotic paintings out of spite.

And I mean, I’m not even a porn consumer. I just fucking hate fascists.

^{… *though I also* happen to enjoy creating suggestive imagery, as well as painting nude figures. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯}
